Yu He is a renowned figure in both the immortal and demonic realms. As the leader of the immortal realm, she first defected to the demonic realm for the Earth Spirit Pearl, then fought her way through the immortal realm for the Heavenly Spirit Pearl. In the end, the heavenly tribulation struck her down and sent her into the lower realm, where she became the wicked female supporting character in a book.
Her predecessor became psychologically twisted because she couldn't win the male lead's love, fell to the demonic path, and tried to frame the female lead. Instead, the male lead used her as a stepping stone on his path to ascension.
After learning the plot, Yu He scoffs. She's the mighty Demon Lord. Why should she fear these juniors who haven't even ascended yet?
But just as she's about to destroy them with a single move, she discovers that all her spiritual power is gone. She's now nothing but a novice who has barely awakened her powers.
She's at the beginning of her predecessor's descent into darkness. During the trial to determine the victor, she framed the female lead and was severely punished, which gave rise to a heart demon. Now she's in danger of being exposed by the female lead. She'd planned to keep a low profile for the time being, but the heavenly tribulation has just made her the center of everyone's attention.
Yu He: ...You've got to be kidding me.

At first, Yu He thinks she can survive by avoiding the plot, but the plot keeps coming straight for her.
The female lead's sword breaks, and her fellow disciples drag Yu He into the mud.
The female lead takes a trial, and an elder berates Yu He.
The female lead gets hurt, and the male lead holds Yu He accountable.
Even when the female lead is in a bad mood, somehow it's Yu He's fault!
So Yu He gives up trying to avoid it and dances along the edge of death. The female lead reaches the Golden Core stage, and Yu He reaches Nascent Soul. The female lead takes a trial, and Yu He wins it. The female lead gets hurt...
Oh, Yu He leads the light of the righteous path into demonic cultivation in front of the entire sect.
Later, on the day the male lead ascends, Yu He watches as a man lists her crimes one by one. In front of everyone, she kills the male lead to prove her Dao!

[Upcoming] After I Played the Big Shot of the Immortal Sect
Chi Miao, who bears the hopes of the entire Biluo Palace, disguises herself as a man and infiltrates Tianyao Sect. But on the very day she arrives, Shao Lan sees through her identity.
From that moment on, Chi Miao falls into the role of Shao Lan's admirer and never finds her way back out.
She visits Shao Lan every day, fusses over him, and showers him with flawless flattery, successfully winning the young man's heart.
Just as Shao Lan is falling deeply in love with her, the palace orders her to return, and he's about to head down the mountain for training.
Shao Lan takes Chi Miao's hand and says fervently, "When I return from my training, I'll personally explain everything to my master and make sure you aren't punished."
Chi Miao is moved to tears and nods over and over. "I'll wait for you."
But after finding the secret treasure, she makes her decision at once, fakes her death, and disappears.
#Waiting is out of the question. Only an idiot would wait.#

Later, at the immortal sect competition,
Chi Miao, the chief disciple of Biluo Palace, becomes famous in a single battle, outshining all her rivals. Just as she's about to win glory for her sect, she sees her first love, a refined and ethereal beauty.
And wouldn't you know it, she suddenly remembers that she's a cannon-fodder character who transmigrated into a book, and the man she abandoned is the one and only immortal sect big shot in the novel to attain the Dao and ascend to immortality.
#I was terrified back then.#

When Shao Lan was sixteen, he fell in love with a girl. She kept saying she loved him and promised to wait for him, but when he returned from his training, he was told that she had died.
The blow was devastating. Overwhelmed with grief, he decided to remain chaste for love, renounce all romantic attachments, and focus on cultivation.
But during the immortal sect competition, he saw his supposedly dead first love among the ranks of Biluo Palace.
#Oh, this is getting exciting.#
