    She was just an ordinary girl. She never wanted to cultivate immortality, achieve eternal life, dominate the world, or save anyone. She only wanted to return to her small home, eat a bowl of her mother's cooking, listen to her father's nagging, sleep in her familiar little bed, and live an ordinary life. Why had even this small, insignificant wish become a luxury? The bottleneck, like an invisible mountain, stood before her. Those days were the most desperate, oppressive, and near-collapse-prone time Su Wan had experienced since her transmigration. She wasn't afraid of hardship, fatigue, or pain; she was only afraid of being driven to despair. She was afraid that even if she gave it her all and exhausted her energy, she would ultimately be stuck at this step, never able to move forward again. Never able to establish her foundation, never able to become stronger, never able to return to the home she longed for day and night. Every cultivation failure, every dissipation of spiritual energy, every death in her dantian was like a knife, cutting deep into her heart.

    My acquaintance with him began when he and three classmates rented a room in my house during his high school years. We lived under the same roof. However, he was glib, a womanizer, and extremely rude. He was cunning and manipulative, flirting with girls everywhere and writing love letters to different girls, which I found extremely repulsive and disgusting. Unexpectedly, he used his cunning to invite only me to see him off to the army, effectively positioning me as his girlfriend. Although I didn't agree to be with him, I was labeled his girlfriend, preventing his other friends who liked me from taking things further out of loyalty to me. During this time, he maintained an ambiguous relationship with me, exchanging letters, and my heart gradually began to flutter. But I didn't expect that a year later, when he went back to his hometown for leave, his attitude towards me would change. Some of his friends, not wanting me to be deceived by him while he was seeing several girls at once, warned me. In the end, our breakup wasn't a romantic one, because we had never even started anything; we severed ties, not even becoming ordinary friends.
