   The female lead in this story is incredibly stubborn. Despite being a sickly character, she's always on the front lines of this stubbornness. She transmigrates into the body of a sickly cultivator in a cultivation world, and her system mission is to save the "Nian Ai Brain" (a concept in Chinese fantasy novels) to prolong her life. She saves the "Nian Ai Brain" and, in doing so, all of humanity. Even constantly on the verge of death, she remains stubborn. The female lead is rather goofy, and the plot is hilarious.
