One-line synopsis: Bipolar disorder, high on the sight of blood; a century of inner power, cutting a bloody path through the martial world!
Blurb:
Overworked office worker Lin Xi gets an unexpected transmigration starter pack: a disastrous start from the very beginning, not a penny to her name, and a modern medical record to boot: severe bipolar disorder.
The good news is that her beginner's gift is a century's worth of Beiming true qi, bestowed upon her in an instant.
The bad news is that this inner power plays dirty, infinitely magnifying her emotions.
During depressive episodes, her heart turns to ash. If someone makes her unhappy, she wants to kill them.
During manic episodes, she's flying high and wants to kill, kill, kill them all!
On her first day after transmigrating, she comes across the notorious martial-world “flower thief” just as he is about to commit a crime.
Manic Lin Xi smiles.
She walks over and uses the century of power she just acquired to rip the hero's weapon of assault out by the roots, stuff it into his own mouth, and stomp his balls into mush.
Bandits, kill!
Robbers, kill!
Black inns, kill!
Human traffickers, kill!
Everywhere she goes, rivers of blood flow!
The martial world is shaken. A demoness has emerged, and everyone trembles in fear.
The righteous martial sects issue a kill order: This woman slaughters innocents indiscriminately and is cruel and bloodthirsty. Everyone must kill her!
But they haven't told the whole story.
“Slaughters innocents indiscriminately”? No. Everyone she kills is a “hero” who commits crimes, has blood on their hands, and gets away with it thanks to their martial prowess.
“Cruel and bloodthirsty”? Sure. When her illness flares up, she doesn't even recognize her own family. Whether you're a newly sworn sister or a young hero she's in the middle of flirting with, if you stand between her and her “prey”...
That blood-dripping sword will point at you, too.
Later, the Demon Cult's leader comes down from the mountain himself, hoping to recruit this god of slaughter.
What he sees is Lin Xi crouching in the ruins of a prestigious orthodox sect, laughing wildly as she prods her enemy's head with the tip of her sword and sings a tuneless song.
But when he tries to approach and win her over with so-called “tender affection”...
The next moment, Lin Xi stops smiling. Expressionless, she thrusts her sword toward his throat:
“Don't lie to me. When my illness acts up, I'll stab you too.”
There's only one rule she lives by:
I'm scared of myself when I lose it, so all of you better act normal.
Don't provoke me, don't lie to me, and don't commit crimes where I can find out.
Because my inner power doesn't listen to reason. It only listens to heartbeats.
If you're guilty, it wants to reach in and have a look.
The heroine is mentally ill and kills without batting an eye!
A work of authorial madness.
