In the year 3013, Ye Ying has just graduated from university.
Her family is well-off, and she doesn't need to work, so she plans to stay home and take it easy for a while.
One day, her best friend calls to tell her that a new xianxia game, Immortal Fate, has just launched. It's supposedly 95% realistic, and she invites Ye Ying to play together.
Ye Ying is bored, so she readily agrees.
But her friend stands her up that day, leaving Ye Ying to create an account and enter the game by herself.
She chooses the demon race.
In Immortal Fate, demon bloodlines and species are assigned randomly.
She figures that with her European-level luck, the result should be satisfying.
A flash of white light, and a fluffy little white ball appears before her eyes.
Ye Ying: ??? Dandelions count as demons?
Unfortunately, Immortal Fate has a three-month waiting period before you can delete an account, and you can only create one account at a time.
She has already created the account, so she may as well play.
Fine, she'll play.

Others split open the Gate of Heaven with a sword. She blows them away to the ends of the earth.
Others fly through the nine heavens on their swords. She drifts ten thousand miles on the wind.
At first, everyone mocks her. She's just a dandelion, so weak even the beginner village's monsters can bully her. And her name, Fallen Blossoms, couldn't be more fitting for her species.
But later...
The first player on the server to comprehend the Law of Wind is her.
The first to clear an epic dungeon with a plant-type bloodline is her.
And the first to take on a hundred opponents in a guild tournament, filling the sky with downy seeds and trapping the entire battlefield, is also her.
"I'm just a dandelion," she says lightly.
Billions of players fall silent, their silence deafening.
When the wind rises, she arrives.
Who says grass and trees have no feelings? I will ride the wind and break through the nine heavens.

1. The blurb doesn't mention a male lead, so here's a brief note: the male and female leads are childhood friends, and his in-game counterpart is a reed.
Theme: Even the naturally frail can become powerful!
