Bu Changsheng

From the mortal world to the cultivation world, and from the cultivation world to the three thousand realms beyond the heavens.

Jiang Yun has always thought of herself as an ordinary rogue cultivator.

Even though the people around her include:

A fellow villager who's the number one lucky charm in the cultivation world;

An elder brother who's been missing for years and keeps claiming he's from another world;

A nephew-disciple from her bargain-basement sect who woke up one day as an empress beyond the heavens;

The top spender at her shop, who casually threatens to destroy all the heavens;

And a Dao companion foisted on her by an old peach-blossom contract, whose halo unmistakably marks them as the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao;

None of that changes the fact that, after watching the "protagonists"' tangled romances and absurd legends for thirty thousand years, she remains "ordinary."

Until the gods return to their rightful places and the Heavenly Dao is made whole.

At last, Jiang Yun gets her moment in the spotlight:

Ascension? No.

Destroying the Dao. Yes.

Reader's Guide:

1. Traditional cultivation novel, a very long epic, at least 3 million Chinese characters.

2. Starts as a mortal's journey; later features many original worldbuilding elements. Plot-focused and extremely slow-burn.

3. There is a male lead, but he isn't mentioned in the blurb.

4. This is a self-indulgent story. Your likes and dislikes are your own.
