The Entire Immortal Realm Thinks I'm a Good-for-Nothing

[This story has been giving me too much trouble to write, so I'm taking a break to adjust it. Please don't start reading it just yet, everyone. QwQ]

After transmigrating, Ling Ge became the supporting female character who served as a foil to Li Wanwan, the female lead of a cultivation novel.

In the original story, the two sisters were known together as the "Twin Beauties of Hengyang." Their cultivation levels were evenly matched, as were their looks. From childhood, they competed in cultivation, challenged each other, and fought over everything.

But Li Lingge ultimately couldn't compare to the female lead, Li Wanwan. She was always outshone by her, and her state of mind gradually began to crumble. Not only did she repeatedly cause trouble for Li Wanwan, she even developed murderous intent toward her cousin during the Immortal Sword Tournament.

In the end, the male lead ran her through with one sword, and she was hastily written out of the story.

In her previous life, Ling Ge had always been the diligent, hard-studying type. After transmigrating, she wanted to experience what it was like to be a natural genius.

Who knew that while the ideal was wonderful, reality would be harsh?

She worked as hard as she possibly could at cultivation, yet remained stuck at the very first stage, Qi Refining, without making the slightest progress. The gap between her cultivation level and Li Wanwan's only grew wider.

Meanwhile, the female lead, Li Wanwan, who was supposed to be her bitter rival, turned into a caring big sister. She patiently taught Ling Ge cultivation and swordplay, looked after her at every turn, and gazed at her with nothing but affection.

Ling Ge: ...

What happened to being the lead villainess, whose strength was supposed to match the female lead's? Why was the plot going off the rails as soon as it got to her?

*

On the day Ling Ge was born, the spiritual mist that had shrouded Fengcheng for three whole years dispersed. Her father, Li Zhi, thought it was an omen from Heaven and specially invited a heavenly master from Lindu to read his daughter Ling Ge's fate.

Who could have known that a hundred years later, Master Li would drink too much and let the secret slip: the youngest daughter of the Li family had an extraordinarily unusual destiny. She might never break through the Qi Refining stage in her entire life. She was, in short, a born good-for-nothing.

But no one knew that while Master Li might not have had the highest professional standards, he did have some. Over all these years, he had never revealed the second half of the reading:

If she found the right opportunity and overcame the Six Calamities fate, she would become the ruler of the Six Realms.

The fate reading Master Li gave Ling Ge all those years ago was no secret in Lindu.

When she single-handedly created an unprecedented cloudscape illusion, people dismissed it as unorthodox magic.

When she created a new type of magical weapon with tremendous destructive power in just ten days, people dismissed it as clever tricks.

When she entered the Netherworld Secret Realm alone and slew an ancient demon beast, people said she was simply lucky to have met a benefactor willing to support her wholeheartedly.

In short, no real strength, just tricks.

It wasn't until one day, when she stormed the Hall of Celestial Clouds, ran off with the heir, and took on the entire immortal world, that the immortals of Lindu finally realized what was going on

Wait, she was actually serious?

Other notes: This isn't a traditional cultivation novel. There are tons of original settings, all to help the female lead grow strong and succeed.

Theme: Stay true to your original purpose and forge ahead.
