Lin You transmigrates into a cultivation novel as the vicious wife of a master, a woman who shares her name.
The male lead, Xie Zhuo, is the classic handsome, strong, and tragic type.
Born with a sword bone, he has a difficult past and joins an unreliable sect.
His master is aloof and indifferent to worldly affairs, spending decades in seclusion at a time.
His twin junior brothers are frail and sickly, and he keeps them alive by using his heart’s blood as medicine.
Worst of all is his master’s wife, a woman with the ethereal beauty of a celestial maiden and a rotten spiritual root, whose temperament is vile.
Jealous that he can cultivate, she beats and berates him at the slightest provocation, tormenting him for her amusement.
While searching for ingredients for her beauty-preserving pills, Xie Zhuo falls into the Demon Abyss. From then on, demonic qi clings to him, and his cultivation stagnates.
Later, Xie Zhuo’s master is exposed as a member of the demon race and executed by the sect.
To protect herself, Lin You cuts ties with them without hesitation. She secretly informs the sect that the twins are demons and falsely accuses Xie Zhuo of being a demon, too.
The three are expelled from the sect and sent to Yinghua Island, where demons and monsters intermingle.
The twins die on the island, while Xie Zhuo has his spiritual root torn out and is imprisoned in a dungeon for decades.
Only after the original novel’s heroine rescues him does he regain his spiritual root, advance in cultivation, and kill everyone who ever bullied him.
When Xie Zhuo storms Tianxuan Sect, all that remains of Lin You is a grave.
After a long time in isolation, his eyes dark and unreadable, he finally raises his sword and levels her grave.
Lin You awakens too late. The plot has already reached the point where she betrays them to the sect.
Remembering the terrible fate awaiting her, she is so frightened that she rushes to Yinghua Island in the middle of the night to save them.
In the dungeon, filthy water runs everywhere. Xie Zhuo, with his crane-like bearing and pine-like elegance, has had his spiritual root destroyed. Blood soaks his white robes, and his cool eyes are hollow.
The twins reveal their demonic forms, their wolf ears trembling as they whimper softly.
To stay alive, she can only deceive them: "Your shiniang came too late."
Carefully hiding the truth, Lin You leads the twins by the hand and carries Xie Zhuo across countless mountains and rivers. She plans to hitch a ride on the male lead’s good fortune, then run as far away as she can.
But she says, "Your shiniang will never abandon you."
At first, they think: So what if she is our shiniang?
She is vicious and hypocritical. One day, they will escape her control and leave her far behind.
Later, they surround her, their gazes burning and dark. "Where did he touch you? Here, or here?"
She raises her hand and slaps them hard. "I am your shiniang!"
They think: So what if she is our shiniang?
Their master... is already dead.
So, Shiniang, can you pity me, love me, and look at me?
A charming shiniang who only wants to grow stronger x possessive, deranged, lovesick disciples who are, in any case, not normal people
