The Whole Sect Is a Stand-In for My Dao Companion

Gu Mingge transmigrates.

She transmigrates into a power fantasy novel, becoming a cannon-fodder supporting female character with astonishing fortune who can only bring good luck to others.

In the novel,

The senior brother she adores, the power fantasy hero, rapidly advances in cultivation and stumbles across lucky opportunities just by walking around every day.

The master she respects keeps rising in the sword arts, becoming the greatest Sword Venerable.

The junior brother she cares for goes from an abandoned son despised by his family to its young master.

Even the sect she loves flourishes, rising to become one of the top sects in the cultivation world.

But in the end, everyone in the sect begins to hate Gu Mingge, believing that her very existence erases all their hard work.

They hate and despise her, and eventually watch her die in a spirit beast stampede.

Thinking of the supporting character's fate in the original story, Gu Mingge is so disgusted by these people that her teeth ache.

But her talent is average, and the fortune she carries can only benefit others. She has no way to escape the sect.

Just then, she suddenly remembers the puppet from the novel, the one acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao that the power fantasy hero obtains.

She can't bring herself good fortune, but no one said she couldn't bring good fortune to a puppet!

If she can get that puppet, it will be like having a double who will never betray her.

She can pour all her love into her double.

That way, he will become the luckiest person in the world.

But first, she needs everyone to know just how much she "loves" her double.

For some reason, the junior brother who's always had everything go his way lately suddenly finds his family settling accounts with him.

He instinctively goes to Gu Mingge, only to see her brows knit slightly as she looks at him with a moment's unfamiliarity:

"Junior Brother, why has the cloud pattern on your clothes changed?"

The Sword Venerable knows what Gu Mingge can do, but dislikes her wilfulness.

Yet when he punishes her, she shows no sign of panic or remorse.

She only looks at him as if she wants to say something, her voice wistful:

"Master, your voice has grown so cold."

And alongside the change in her voice, his cultivation begins to stagnate.

The eldest senior brother has always believed Gu Mingge is deeply in love with him.

But for some reason, he finds fewer and fewer lucky opportunities.

When he goes to see Gu Mingge, she says:

"Senior Brother, don't look at me. I like your profile best."

The other disciples in the sect also hear Gu Mingge sigh sadly from time to time:

"Where's the Cloudfall Tree in the sect? Why has it disappeared?"

"Wasn't there supposed to be a spirit pool here?"

-

Everyone in the sect believes Gu Mingge is someone they can control.

She has always loved the sect and respected her elders. Lately, she's only made a few odd requests now and then.

But as time goes by, they all start to feel that something is a little off.

Until one day,

When Gu Mingge is in mortal danger, a figure stands tall in the wind and rain, felling a thousand enemies with a single sword strike.

Then this venerable being, so powerful that everyone can only look up to him, carefully draws Gu Mingge into his arms.

Seeing the familiar similarities between the venerable being and the sect, they finally understand:

The entire sect was a stand-in for Gu Mingge's beloved.
