The Hairpin Pierces to the Bone

I spent ten years by his side, going from prisoner to emperor.

But on the night he ascended the throne, he ordered me buried alive.

Suddenly, a beam of light split the sky above the pit, and someone crawled out of it, covering me in dust.

It was Gu Wei at seventeen. Back then, we were deeply in love. We thought that as long as we had each other, even a journey through fire and blades would be nothing more than a path to grow old together.

(Third-person narration)

Now serializing, come and take a look:

"The Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Senior Sister Can't Possibly Be a Man"

Question: What should you do if you transmigrate into a cultivation novel full of dangers and opportunities?

Answer: Get stronger. Really strong. Incredibly strong!

Jing Xuan had made up her mind.

First, get close to the protagonist and use him as a shield and a safety charm.

Next, make use of the protagonist and follow his lead to seize resources.

Then, manipulate the protagonist and make both him and the plot work for her.

In a world where strength is everything, Jing Xuan would climb step by step, step by step, all the way to the top!

Who says artifact makers can only work behind the scenes?

She was going to show the world what they could do!

Spirit-energy guns and cannons, off-road spirit cars, enormous flying warships...

Who dares to fight?

Jing Xuan's fingertips brushed the spirit-energy gun barrel, forged from Dark Essence. Spirit pressure condensed inside it into something tangible.

This book would finally be rewritten!

She, he, and all of them would no longer be lines of text in a book, but living, breathing people.

This was a new world, made up of a lively, lovable group of people like them!

And she was no longer the villainess of the story, but the one who would forge new rules.

When the first flying warship crushed the secret realm's barrier.

When an off-road spirit car sped through a sect's mountain gate, trailing streams of light.

At last, everyone realized that the history of Tianyan Divine Province would surely begin with Jin Xuan.

They walked the road together, trading sincerity for sincerity.

What began as an act of exploitation gradually became real affection for Jin Xuan.

But how did this affection go so wrong?!

"S-Senior Sister, no, big sis, don't come so close to me!"

Di Zhijue: "Have you forgotten that you were the one who came close to me first...?"

Jin Xuan: !!!

Who knew you were a cross-dressing beauty in disguise!

Jin Xuan dodged, ran, then turned invisible.

Di Zhijue cornered her, burying his sobs and tears in her clothes. "If you don't like it, I'll... give up being a man. Just please don't give up on me."

"Please, A Xuan, don't leave me..."

Those scorching tears soaked into her clothes.

Jin Xuan's heart softened. How could she possibly push him away now?

Reading Guide:

1. The male lead disguises himself as a woman early on for a reason, and the story includes bodily modification (with female characteristics). Please keep this in mind if it's a concern.

2. Both leads grow over time. They won't start out using their ultimate moves, and the male lead will always be weaker than the female lead (in every sense of the word).

3. Strong female lead, weak male lead, healing, female lead dotes on male lead, and some angst for the male lead.

4. This should be an ensemble cast, with romance and plot given equal weight.

Theme: Time can carve the face like a knife, but it cannot erase the mark left by the sincere love of youth.
