"I am a god. Everyone in my sect is a divine being, and my eldest senior brother is the greatest of them all."
The heroine's perspective:
Yan Yan was an orphan adopted by Canghua Sect, the greatest sect under heaven. Born with three spiritual roots and average spiritual power, she was as ordinary as they come.
Her greatest wish in life was to leave Canghua when she turned sixteen and become a female tutor at some smaller sect.
But when she took part in Canghua Sect's inner disciple selection as required, everything went off the rails.
...She could no longer hide the fact that she was a water-root genius!
After the selection, she had no choice but to join Bilan Peak, the most mysterious and most neglected peak in Canghua, where she studied water-based spiritual arts alongside her master, eldest senior brother, second senior sister, and third senior brother.
Just as she was worrying about her future:
Her world-weary, listless master began attending sect events and even got into hair-pulling fights with people on her behalf;
Her elegant, saintly second senior sister, a master healer, revealed her dark side and began studying poison, practically wanting to assassinate anyone who dared bully Yan Yan;
Her third senior brother, the son of the richest man in the land, suddenly became diligent and hardworking, and started showering her with money, determined to pamper her like a princess.
And her eldest senior brother...
The famed eldest senior brother of Bilan Peak was supposed to be an aloof beauty, as pristine as a breeze and bright moon. But in front of her, he was always rambling about things like wicked villainesses, domineering heroes, transmigrate into a book, and being reborn. He seemed quite the oddball.
Still, her eldest senior brother treated her wonderfully.
For one thing, all the rare treasures always went to her first.
Whenever she eagerly charged into battle against demonic beasts, he would suddenly appear in front of her to act as a human shield.
When she turned down the Demon Clan's young lord, saying she would devote her life to the Dao, her eldest senior brother stared at her in surprise, his eyes turning red.
For years, Yan Yan could not figure out why he acted so strangely toward her in particular.
At last, one evening, her eldest senior brother asked her to meet him so he could confess something.
That night, beneath the beautiful moonlight, he took a deep breath and was about to speak. But Yan Yan suddenly took his hand with a knowing look and said:
"Don't say it. I understand. If I become a peak lord next year, you'll be my husband."
"Don't worry, Eldest Senior Brother. I'm not some faithless woman who abandons her husband once he's down on his luck!"
The male lead's perspective:
After transmigrating into a book, Xiao Nianbai became the aloof immortal lord in an old-fashioned male-oriented xianxia power-progression novel written by his cousin.
According to the plot, he had to complete the journey to obtain divine artifacts and exterminate the Demon Clan alongside another male lead. Only then would he earn enough merit to return to the modern world.
But after his cousin revised the novel, once a wish-fulfillment fantasy, she gave a wicked villainess who betrays everyone for love a whole lot more screen time. This directly led to everyone losing and dying in the final battle, while the Demon Emperor emerged victorious.
And that villainess was none other than the junior sister of the body he'd transmigrated into!
After transmigrating into the book, Xiao Nianbai squeezed his eyes shut. The road to cultivation was long, and following the plot was too much trouble.
I really don't want to be some cold, beautiful, tragic powerhouse covered in scars. Why not leave the task of saving the world to the domineering hero, little buddy?
Don't worry, Brother Hero. I'll keep that villainous junior sister of mine in line!
But could someone explain why the notorious, formidable demoness villainess had such an incredibly low sense of self-worth and was an introvert?
The girl's cultivation talent was astounding, but she was so timid and hesitant. How could she possibly end up boldly defecting later?
Xiao Nianbai: Fine, first I'll develop the girl's talent and confidence. I have to keep her firmly on the righteous path!
But his approach to raising her seemed a little too successful. Year after year, his junior sister grew more and more charming.
The girls who liked the domineering hero flocked around her;
The domineering hero's buddies flocked around her;
Even the domineering hero himself flocked around her!
Luckily, his junior sister was devoted to cultivation alone, and she was on the verge of reaching the pinnacle of the cultivation world, becoming the most promising powerhouse to wipe out the Demon Clan.
Xiao Nianbai: Whew. The whole process went wrong, but at least we got the right answer. Close enough, hahaha!
Reader advisory: This is my first novel. For detailed content warnings, see the author's note in Chapter 2.
1. The male lead transmigrates into a book, while the other members of the sect are reborn. At first the male lead doesn't know, but the truth will come out later. Dual perspectives. The male lead appears first, and the heroine appears in Chapter 6.
2. An ensemble cast featuring the leads. A male lead who transmigrates into a book saves the heroine. A heroine who starts out insecure, later becomes incredibly strong, and is doted on by everyone x a sunny, funny, teasing male lead with a golden finger from transmigrating into a book.
3. The male and female leads are strictly monogamous, both emotionally and physically. Don't ship any same-sex couples in my story!
Theme: Stay optimistic and face life with a natural, open-minded attitude.
Timeline → It is known that the male protagonist Xiao Nianbai crossed over on the twenty-eighth day of leap February in the forty-fourth year of the Dao. Four years later, it is the forty-fourth year of the Dao. The story begins. In the first chapter, the heroine Yan Yan died in the winter of the seventy-year Dao. These are three major time nodes; now in the forty years of the Dao, the original male protagonists Xue Ye and Yan Yan entered the Canghua sect when they were about seven or eight years old. Now they are twelve years old and Xiao Nianbai is seventeen. In this chapter, the description "In December of the twenty-fourth year of the Dao, it snowed, and a child was picked up on the way home" appears in In the folded paper of a landscape travelogue that Yan Yan handed to Xiao Nianbai, then, based on the minimum age of zero, the child is 16 years old and above; the place where this travelogue appears is Tingtao Pavilion at Bilan Peak, and it is also known that the original senior brother Xiao Huan Che's life experience is "an orphan picked up by the previous peak master Xiao Xiangchao in the snow and raised by the successor peak master Shen Yungui", so it is reasonable to speculate that this "Landscape Traveler" is Xiao Xiangchao's notebook, and the child written on the paper is Xiao Huanche Well, what does it mean that Yan Yan specially took out this book and gave it to Xiao Nianbai?
Uh-huh, poor senior brother, the head disguised as a fish last time was so scary [Lie flat] Buy some grapefruit leaves
