Huh? Aren't I a Poison Arts Prodigy? [JX3]

* An energetic, witty female lead

* Jian Wang 3 is an alternate world, with a beginner's tutorial. It's very welcoming whether you've never played or you're a busy real-life player. How lucky we are to meet.

* The ending is both happy and bittersweet, with an alternate-timeline bonus story to come.

* The category is set to Multi because I need to include two female character cards. All romance routes are between men and women.

Han Lesheng, deceased.

She was... well, pretty young, anyway.

But she wasn't entirely dead.

She woke up to find herself in a line of people signing up to become disciples of the Five Poisons Sect.

The good news... is it good news? She had transmigrated.

The bad news: her soul had taken over someone else's body.

She caught her reflection in a nearby stream. What a breathtakingly beautiful young woman from the Miao lands.

But born beneath the national flag and raised in the spring breeze, how could she steal an innocent girl's body?

After much thought, she decided to inherit the girl's name and carry on her life, striving to become a master of the Five Poisons and a hero who helped the world.

And, while she was at it, look for a way home.

Along the way, she devoted herself to training, fought monsters and leveled up, and roamed the martial world with her sword. She shared a drink, met someone new, kept a promise, traveled alongside friends and mentors, and crossed paths with all kinds of people...

Her martial-arts adventure was only just beginning.

Please note:

* There is a romance, but it's not the main focus. There are also friendships and an ensemble cast. Everyone's a hero!

If you're uncomfortable with multiple characters having feelings for the heroine, please don't read. I love shipping her with everyone in the Five Poisons, and it's a blast.

* I commissioned all the character cards. I gave away the Five Poisons girl's card for free before. These aren't stolen images; I'm the commissioner.

* Every sect appears except the Formless Tower, since there wasn't room to include its character card. But characters get varying amounts of page time, and some don't get their big moments until later. I'll write what I can, so please don't complain if that's an issue for you.

* To make the plot work, I've written and added some setting details. Skills and such have also been heavily changed or enhanced. The timeline is completely jumbled. I'll write whichever dungeon, quest, or boss I feel like, so please don't overthink it.

* I'll keep NPC appearances to a minimum to avoid writing them out of character. If they really need to appear, any out-of-character behavior is my fault, so please go easy on me.

* This is just a lighthearted leveling-up story, following the path a Jian Wang 3 player might take from first entering the martial world to eventually leaving it. A tribute to the journey we took together.

* My writing and descriptions aren't perfect, but I bear no ill will toward any sect. I love every sect I've written.

* The results of duels and JJC have nothing to do with sect strength; they're based on character needs. I don't want to see any arguing or debates about strength. Anyone who argues is Wu Menggui.
