After Reincarnating as the White Moonlight's Stand-In

Signed for simplified Chinese publication under the title The Peach Blossoms of Kunshan at Dusk, Wielding a Sword. For details, see Weibo: Jinjiang Shuning_

[My new novel, I Decided to Win Over the Immortal Venerable for the Sake of Shipping Couples, is now underway. Visit my profile to read it.]

The male lead is the Venerable Miaofa.

Content warnings: This is a long novel, and the cultivation system is my own. The heroine’s a blood-and-tears story of growing stronger while getting beaten up. This is not traditional cultivation, not traditional cultivation, not traditional cultivation. It’s not all about cultivation levels, either. It’s simply a story set against a cultivation fantasy backdrop, dressed up in a fake shonen-manga style. Punching above your weight and taking on stronger opponents is commonplace. Traditional cultivation purists who love the original spirit of the genre should steer clear.

A simple, formulaic story, a simple, formulaic story, a simple, formulaic story. The author has no lofty vision or ambitions and just wants to do her best to tell a story she believes in.

After transmigrating into the body of the White Moonlight’s replacement, the White Moonlight came back.

Qiao Wan had always understood that she was a substitute for Mu Xiaoxiao, the Kunshan Sect’s junior sister. After Mu Xiaoxiao’s death, she was the replacement the sect had found.

Her master, her martial uncles, and her senior brothers and sisters cared for her only because she looked like Mu Xiaoxiao.

It didn’t matter how often people said she was less brave, less adorable, and less clever than Mu Xiaoxiao.

Qiao Wan didn’t care that they erased her own worth.

She worked twice as hard because she didn’t want to let down the sect’s hopes for her.

Then one day, Mu Xiaoxiao, thought dead and once the Kunshan Sect’s true junior sister, cherished by everyone, returned and reclaimed everything that had always belonged to her.

As the White Moonlight’s replacement, the counterfeit Qiao Wan was mortified and furious. Her heart broke, and she flipped the table in a rage before leaving the mountain. To hell with being anyone’s replacement.

For all these years, she had lived for someone else. Now Qiao Wan wanted to live for herself, openly and honestly, and smash the heads of all those idiots.

A recommendation for my new novel, I Decided to Win Over the Immortal Venerable for the Sake of Shipping Couples.

In the male-lead-centric novel Seeking the Dao, Xia Lianqiao hates three characters most of all.

The first is the cannon-fodder third female lead who shares her name, Xia Lianqiao.

The second is the vicious supporting heroine, Sima Yuanheng.

The third is the heroine’s adoptive father, the man who broke up the couple she ships: Ling Chongxiao!

Ling Chongxiao is arrogant and aloof, without desire, love, or hate, and he oversees the immortal sect’s laws and punishments.

Beautiful as a flower beneath the moon, yet cold as frost, he wields the divine sword Tiangang and has slain three thousand immortals.

The male lead Bai Ji’an and the heroine Li Langhuan were made for each other, but because of that damn distinction between mortals and immortals, Ling Chongxiao intervened and gave their story a bad ending!

Breaking up my ship is unforgivable! Burning with indignation toward Ling Chongxiao, Xia Lianqiao transmigrated into the book, becoming the cannon-fodder third female lead who shared her name.

As the third female lead who has a crush on the male lead, Xia Lianqiao spends her days after transmigrating into the book enjoying a blissful life of:

“Aaaah, my ship is getting together!”

“Waaah, fine, I’ll ship them, okay?! I ship them, I ship them!”

She resolves to change the plot, defend her favorite couple, take down anyone who tries to split them up, and shove her ship all the way to the wedding altar.

As for Ling Chongxiao and Sima Yuanheng, she’ll deal with them herself!

Everyone knows that Ling Chongxiao, the Jade Clarity, Majestic and Radiant, Wondrously Born True Lord, is cold and heartless, a solitary figure.

He has slain three thousand immortals with his sword. He is a prodigy among the younger generation of the immortal sects, a man everyone looks up to and dares not openly defy.

One day, the protagonists Bai Ji’an and Li Langhuan finally turn against Ling Chongxiao to save their friend Xia Lianqiao, and storm his residence, the Transcendent Heaven Hall, with swords drawn.

But deep within the many chambers, normally as cold and pristine as a hall carved from ice and jade, they find a familiar-looking young woman imprisoned in a cage of gold, by candlelight from luminous pearls, with embroidered brocade spread across the floor.

She seems to be wearing Ling Chongxiao’s outer robe. The cord binding her wrists looks like Ling Chongxiao’s Immortal-Binding Rope, and the tassel tied around her ankle looks like Ling Chongxiao’s sword tassel.

More horrifying still, her neck and wrists are dotted with marks.

Bai Ji’an’s eye twitches. “...What did Ling Chongxiao do to you?”

Xia Lianqiao, timidly: “Would you believe me if I said it wasn’t on purpose?”

Xia Lianqiao: My ship came true!!

Li Langhuan, dazed: ...I think the idol I stan just got exposed...

Theme: Don’t rely on others. Work hard to change your own destiny.
