Blurb One:
Fa Xi was born into the cultivation world and, from a young age, saw how sword cultivators were revered, enjoying every luxury and wielding world-shattering power.
By comparison, weapon cultivators, who went hungry nine meals in three days and got beaten with sticks every other day, hardly seemed worth mentioning.
Unfortunately, Fa Xi had mediocre aptitude for sword cultivation, and a powerful being from another world began inhabiting her body from the moment she was born, waiting for a chance to take it over.
Who would've thought her starter pack would be having her account stolen right from the start...
Fa Xi: I've taken a wrong turn.
Even with neither fate nor fortune nor allies on her side, the people around her still insisted, with maddening determination, that she cultivate the sword!
Sword-cultivator dad: Ascension is one percent everything else and ninety-nine percent sword cultivation.
Junior fellow disciples: If you learn the sword too, we'll be friends!
The parasitic big shot: If you don't learn the sword, I'll take over your body~
Fa Xi: All right, I'll learn!
So after reading Sword Cultivation: From Beginner to Giving Up, Fa Xi buried herself in crafting magical weapons with a fervor bordering on obsession.
Cultivators: Weren't you going to cultivate the sword?
Fa Xi, perfectly serious: First craft a sword, then practice the sword.
That sounds reasonable.
But after waiting a hundred years, Fa Xi hadn't crafted a single sword. Instead, she'd made a whole heap of magical artifacts the cultivation world had never heard of.
Fa Xi, solemnly: These aren't magical artifacts, they're machines. From left to right: an injection molding machine, a marking machine, a cutting machine, an excavator...
Cultivators, confusion +1, IQ -N: Wait, you're not learning the sword anymore?
Fa Xi, whose Dao title is "Physics Dropout," looked at the ascension tribulation and smiled. Thanks for asking. Let's talk after I get through this tribulation.
Blurb Two:
Fa Xi didn't know whether other transmigrators had all ended up lying flat in the cultivation world, but she was certain that her resolve to return home would never waver.
That resolve was so strong that she accidentally promoted physics as a secret path to enlightenment in the cultivation world,
accidentally became the first weapon cultivator in ages to ascend, turning into the spiritual backbone of weapon cultivators everywhere,
and accidentally devoured a body-cultivation prodigy with extraordinary bones and a tribulation-star fortune.
And still, her resolve never wavered!
Who knew the prodigy would love her in vain, grow to hate her, and go mad? To get home, Fa Xi advised him: You're wonderful, but I'm not worthy of you. Forget me and find someone else.
Qi Lian Que, a near-divine demon ancestor hiding behind a weakling's secret identity: Heh. With someone like you, the only thing worth discussing is marriage.
A high-IQ heroine who forges her own godhood and takes an unconventional path x a beautiful, tragic, strong, and tsundere hero destined for near-divinity.
Content warnings and early notes:
1. The heroine is timid on the outside but strong within at first, and later becomes strong both inside and out. The story focuses on plot and leveling up. Perhaps it's a slow burn?
2. Over 300,000 words already written, so dive in without worry!
3. Single-couple romance, one-on-one, happy ending. No human roosters, please!
Theme: Where there's a will, there's a way.
