Nine Cauldrons

When Zhong Ling transmigrated, the original owner was pregnant with her cousin’s child and married to a woodcutter living at the foot of the mountain. With nowhere else to go, she decided to stay. Zhong Ling had no grand ambitions. All she wanted was a peaceful life. As time went by, she and her bargain-basement husband fell in love, and they lived together in perfect harmony. She made scented balms, sold offal, and gathered mountain delicacies, leading the whole village out of poverty. In the tenth year of their happy family life, with everyone settled and thriving, her cousin returned on his sword. Her cousin said she was his inner demon. Only when her home was destroyed and her family killed did Zhong Ling finally realize that the world she was living in wasn’t a peaceful farming story at all. It was a brutal, perilous world of cultivation. * After her death, Zhong Ling awakened nine divine cauldrons, each corresponding to a different talent. Constitution, comprehension, physique, fortune, appearance, mystical powers, spiritual awareness, bloodline, and spirit speech. At the end of each life, the gold sand tallied in the cauldrons could be used to strengthen her attributes in the next life. With every reincarnation, she grew stronger. Eventually, her admirers formed a long line, asking which one she would choose. Zhong Ling clenched her fist. “I’ll take them all!” ＊ The worldbuilding is entirely my own and piled up like mountains!
