    Transmigrated into a book as the universally adored heroine? Ye Zhaoxi is determined to turn the tables and launch a counterattack! Bound to a system that specifically targets the villainous female supporting characters to increase their dislike, the result is that all the female supporting characters collectively become out-of-character fans—the aloof senior sister embroiders sword tassels, and the sharp-tongued fifth senior sister tears apart the scoundrels. A silly and absurd novel with the double buff of a strong female lead, watch how the heroine with chaotic spiritual roots conquers the cultivation world with her outrageous antics.
