Something has been the talk of the cultivation world lately. Its star is Wu Qing, the merciless-path genius whose reputation has soared in recent years.
They say she was born with Dao patterns and showed extraordinary talent at a very young age. Everyone in the entire merciless path treated her like the apple of their eye, afraid she might break if they held her too tightly or melt if they kept her in their mouths.
And Wu Qing truly lived up to her reputation as a genius. In less than a century, she had already reached the Golden Core Realm.
Not long ago, this prodigy fell in love with an unknown nobody. Her cultivation went awry, and in a single day she fell from her lofty pedestal, gravely wounded and at death's door.
Her merciless heart was troubled by love, and her cultivation suffered for it.
What made it worse was that the ragamuffin who had captured the saintess's heart came from the lowest rungs of society, yet looked down on Wu Qing, the sacred maiden of an immortal sect. He was surrounded by countless beautiful confidantes.
He had even arrogantly declared, "Sooner or later, Wu Qing will willingly join my harem!"
Everyone secretly watched, waiting for a laugh.
Years passed. Just as people were gradually forgetting Wu Qing, she reappeared before the public as the youngest Nascent Soul Venerable in history, stunning everyone!
Wu Qing was a shut-in.
One day, she transmigrated.
The good news: she had transmigrated to a cultivation world.
The bad news: the cultivation world had no internet and no phones.
Wu Qing gazed at the heavens in wordless tears. So what if she had transmigrated to a cultivation world? Without her phone, it would take just ten minutes for her to fall into demonic ways!
Just as Wu Qing was debating whether to end it all and start over, her master stopped her.
"Qingqing, how can you try to kill yourself over a man? You're the most promising genius on my Merciless Peak, the one most likely to ascend! If Heaven had not given us you, Wu Qingqing, the merciless path would have known only endless night!"
Oh, so the original owner had died over a man.
Wait! Did people on the merciless path have to put on a tragic death romance over a man too?
Considering that starting over wouldn't necessarily get her a spot in the tech-era Earth online world, Wu Qing carefully decided to cling to her life.
Without her phone by her side, Wu Qing spent a month lying around her cave abode, free of desires and with a tranquil heart. Then she broke through.
Her master hugged her, overjoyed, and praised her as the greatest genius of the merciless path today. She was sure to become the first cultivator in the history of the merciless path to ascend!
Wu Qing was baffled. So all it took to become a genius of the merciless path was staying inside, avoiding people, and sleeping for a month?
That night, Wu Qing dreamed of her life in the modern world...
Wu Qing, who had been completely unmotivated, suddenly sprang into action!
She was going to ascend!
She was going to get back the phone she had lost, her three kitties and two doggies, her huge suburban villa, her deluxe gaming room, her game account with every entry and achievement unlocked, her eight-figure savings, her luxurious king-size bed, and her five-star reader account on Green River...
And as for the overpowered male lead?
What's that?
Whatever. She'd kick aside anyone who got in her way!
