The Top-Tier Star Ancestor Goes Viral on Variety Shows to Revive the Sect

Chu Jiangyu transmigrates into a melodramatic xianxia romance full of Mary Sue tropes and angsty love, becoming a cannon-fodder female character whose master is killed by the male lead so he can prove his Dao, while her body is given to the female lead's ghost. After countless failed attempts to escape the plot, Chu Jiangyu has no choice but to begin an endless cycle of secluded cultivation. In the blink of an eye, fifteen hundred years pass, bringing her to the modern era. When Chu Jiangyu opens her eyes again, she is shocked to discover that she has become the most senior ancestor in the entire sect. The disciples are always chanting, "Cultivate immortality through science, and your powers will know no bounds." Electronic devices are everywhere in the sect. Have you ever heard of catching demons with Google Maps and a smart compass app? Chu Jiangyu: We don't have any real skills, so of course we have to rely on scientific tools. The world's spiritual energy and the disciples' cultivation have dwindled dramatically. They're only a little stronger than ordinary people, and by the end of every month they're fretting over the water and electricity bills. Chu Jiangyu: How embarrassing. The male lead's disciple disappeared ten years ago while pursuing a demon dragon that had fled the sect. To restore the sect to its former glory, capture the demon dragon, and find out what happened to the disciple, Chu Jiangyu has a mountain of responsibilities weighing on her. For the first time since she transmigrated, she heads down the mountain. ...Only to end up in a police station for getting into an armed brawl and not having an ID. Chu Jiangyu silently covers her face. "Dead before my mission even begins. What a disgrace to cultivators." Luckily, the family she belonged to before cultivating has since become a prominent local clan. A refined scoundrel standing six-foot-three, who claims to be her many-times-great-grandson, bails her out. Saved! Extra Scene One A beautiful young woman in flowing white ancient-style robes has recently appeared at the Chu family estate. No one knows who she really is, but every Chu family descendant, at home and abroad, has received the old master's unequivocal order: Return to the family home at once to pay your respects to the ancestor. Chu Xingyan, a rising idol currently appearing on a variety show, gets the message too. "What ancestor? Are we visiting a grave? It's not even Tomb-Sweeping Day." The variety show director and cameraman follow Chu Xingyan back to the old family home. The moment they step inside, they witness the shocking sight of Chu Xingyan, a notorious bad boy and controversial celebrity, being held upside down by a pretty girl and swung from the ceiling like a swing. "Help! This really is my ancestor!" Extra Scene Two Chu Jiangyu vanishes without a trace while filming a variety show. An hour later, a video suddenly appears online. A girl with snow-white clothes and black hair stands on the rooftop of a skyscraper and calls out, "Sword, come!" A silver sword bursts through the night and flies into her hand. She soars through the air on it, carefree and dashing. Netizens are amazed: "She's so cool! Which xianxia drama is this behind-the-scenes clip from? I'm watching it!" Netizen 2: "This is so implausible. The background is a modern building, and you can tell they had a tiny budget. They didn't even use a green screen." Only the male lead's disciple, upon seeing the video, excitedly punches through the demon dragon's spine. "Master has finally emerged from seclusion!" Demon dragon: "Help me, pretty lady! Your disciple is way more suited to being a demon than I am!" [Cover character designs by Daoxiangcun Tuantuanzi] Theme: Dare to challenge yourself to reach greater heights
