Official version: Legend has it that after Pangu created the world, the heavy sank and the light rose. The universe transformed from chaos into clarity, and the world was divided into several different realms.
Since ancient times, there has been a legend on the Tianchen Continent: beyond Tianchen lies another continent, where people live extraordinary lives. Divine beasts and supernatural powers are everywhere, and people break through the hundred-year limit to live longer. The Desert of Death is the passage connecting the two continents. Countless people have explored it over the millennia, yet none have crossed the boundary of death, and no one has ever emerged from the other side of the desert.
Yang Fan, a modern woman, is reborn on this continent as the only legitimate daughter of the Qingping Marquis of the Great Xing Dynasty. Easygoing and content by nature, she nevertheless finds herself caught in one unexpected incident after another following an assassination attempt. From then on, a whole new world opens up before her.
My heart was kind, but the times were not. If I am to be prey, then I would rather wield the knife. Let anyone try to bully or break me. I will laugh wildly, stride across the world, and live as I please.
The cheesy version: Yang Fan is reborn as a tender little dumpling. Until the age of eight, she grows up under the covetous eye of an old hag and the protection of her handsome father. Then a hooligan emperor gets his hands on her, and she sets off on the broad road to conquering underlings, adorable pets, and handsome men~
An excerpt from the hooligan emperor's abduction:
“Had your fill of looking? If so, let's go,” the man said.
Yang Baozi bared her teeth. “Why should I?”
“You guess.” The man was patient enough to banter with her.
“If I guess wrong, does that mean I don't have to go?”
“No.”
“Then what if I guess right?”
“...You still have to go.”
“Then why should I bother guessing?”
“It makes me seem more democratic.”
Yang Fan: “...”
This is a lighthearted story with a serious plot. There's basically no angst, and if there's a little, that's only natural. The male lead hasn't been decided yet. Please add it to your favorites~
