Yan Xueshi transmigrates into a xianxia romance novel.
The good news: she is the childhood sweetheart and unforgettable first love of the male lead.
The bad news: the only perk that comes with this identity is a steady stream of suffering and brutal deaths. Her run of misfortune could fill an entire book about a tragic life.
Her sole purpose in the story is to become a stumbling block and a catalyst whenever the leads’ relationship hits a wall, then die to usher in the novel’s climax: the male lead’s desperate quest to win the female lead back.
Yan Xueshi: ?
They won’t even let me retire in peace and stay alive?
On her first day after transmigrating, Yan Xueshi struggles to survive on the brink of having her cultivation crippled.
By her first week, Yan Xueshi has acquired a half-dead sword with a breathtakingly beautiful sword spirit inside it, and become a sword cultivator so poor it’s terrifying.
On her Nth day, Yan Xueshi makes a name for herself with one stroke, her blade’s cold light blazing across the Five Regions!
…
Ever since Gu Chenzhou left Liuxi Village, he has never stopped thinking about his childhood sweetheart. She was gentle and composed, and loved him with all her heart.
He had meant to devote himself to her alone, but his junior sister was beautiful, sweet-voiced, and steadfast in her affection. Little by little, he began to waver.
One day, beneath the sect’s arena, Gu Chenzhou was once again arguing fiercely over his childhood sweetheart and his junior sister when he caught sight of a familiar figure on the platform.
The gentle, kind childhood sweetheart he remembered was holding a sword in one hand, her expression icy. With a single kick, she sent one of his fellow disciples flying off the arena.
The disciple rolled to Gu Chenzhou’s feet, vomiting blood and looking utterly wretched.
Gu Chenzhou: ???
Was this really his frail, gentle first love???
…
Yan Xueshi travels across mountains and rivers, witnessing the turning of the sun and moon. The immortal sects are vast, and the road to eternal life stretches on without end.
She has no intention of following some so-called plot.
She wants the Great Dao within reach and a bright future ahead.
She wants to cleave mountains and rivers with one sword, and make all creation bow before her.
Notes:
1. Contains original worldbuilding and follows a cultivation-progression storyline.
2. The love interest is the sword spirit. They’re a sweet, affectionate couple.
Theme: Take charge of your fate and cherish the present.
