[Strong Female Lead + Cultivation + System + Family Bonds + Romantic Tension + Ends Up Thriving Alone]
Bai Qiuren was a military doctor serving with peacekeepers on the African battlefield. She was killed in an explosion, and it was a truly gruesome death. Then she was reborn as a baby in a vast cultivation world.
To save Bai Qiuren's life, her birth mother spent a fortune entrusting her to a Bai clan spirit farmer to raise. She sealed Bai Qiuren's bloodline, memories, and magical treasures, then drew the pursuers away on her own.
After regaining the memories of her previous life, Bai Qiuren wanted only to cultivate diligently and ascend to find her mother. But the flaw in her Yin spiritual root meant that the older she grew, the frailer her body became.
According to the jade slip her mother left behind, if she did not want to become a cultivation furnace, she had to borrow the Yang energy of a child of fortune to restore her health.
Bai Qiuren naturally refused. Just then, a System appeared and told her that to be accepted by this world, she needed the approval of a child of fortune. It told her to take the opportunities meant for them, then fell silent and went dormant.
Bai Qiuren was at a loss. To save her own skin, she had no choice but to navigate her way among men.
At first, she felt guilty toward them, and she had even been sincere. But after being betrayed, abandoned without a word, and left behind, her heart turned cold.
She resolved not to fall in love, seek anyone's approval, or rely on men to stand on her own two feet. She would take only the opportunities meant for the children of fortune, and put her hopes of regaining her health in finding a cultivation technique.
But it was far from easy. She went through hardship after hardship for a technique that might not even exist, only to end up empty-handed.
With every step an uphill struggle, she decided to follow the arrangements in her mother's jade slip and seek the protection of her powerful birth father.
After all the twists and turns, Bai Qiuren finally severed her ties to love, cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness, and set off with her father to reunite with her mother.
