That night, she killed the overbearing male lead number one mentioned by the system. * From then on, the cultivation world's livestream, where the chosen ones of great and small fortunes made their explosive debut, welcomed its strictest mother—she was kind, always retreating behind others in times of crisis; she was harmless, yet her enemies disappeared one by one; she didn't compete or fight, yet she became the leader of the Immortal Sect with the highest score; she saved her companions from dire straits, and as for how those dire straits came about, you don't need to worry about that. Later, the audience watched Chu Yuan, who fought her way through and whose popularity soared to the top: Is this a pure white flower? This is the only sun in the cultivation world! Yuan Sect, live on forever! System: I made you play the role of a vase, not the top star of the entire world! Chu Yuan, who exactly are you? Chu Yuan: Those who know me and those who condemn me, only history will tell.

    The first one goes without saying; it's our Chi Miao. The second one truly lives up to the book title—his opportunities and abilities are amazing, though the male lead has a bit too little screen time. The third one is also good; the female lead is very famous locally and works very hard. The fourth one, needless to say, is a veteran actor.
