I Haven't Been a Doormat for Years

Liu Nian was reborn into her previous life.

Her previous life had no computers, cars, airplanes, or rockets,

but it did have all kinds of cultivation arts and rare, magical beasts,

as well as a whole bunch of awful people who would make anyone in the modern world ask, "How could you put up with that?"

The Liu Nian of her previous life really did put up with it. Branded a "heaven-blessed virtuous woman," she was expected to give everyone whatever they wanted. Everyone told her she was blessed with great fortune, so she had to let people walk all over her without expecting anything in return.

The result was that she let others take advantage of her for her entire life, only for the people she'd helped to push her into the abyss of death with their own hands.

Only then did she finally understand what a doormat she'd been, and how that had attracted a pack of people worse than swine and dogs.

Now that she was back, Liu Nian's expression was ice-cold.

Hah. I believed your nonsense in my last life. This time, I'll show you all:

What is yours is mine, and what is mine is still mine!

What it really means to be blessed with great fortune!

What kind of treatment a protagonist deserves!

You think I'm a doormat just because I don't fight back?!

But just as she rolled up her sleeves to deal with those awful people, someone she'd never met in her previous life appeared before her.

The master of the Valley of Medicine, a healer renowned throughout the cultivation world for his miraculous skills and compassionate heart, paid a visit to the Liu residence.

The white-robed valley master smiled gently. "I am Si Yu. I came to see if there is anything I can do for Miss Liu."

Liu Nian eyed him warily. "Such as?"

Si Yu's smile never wavered. "For example, disposing of a corpse."

Liu Nian: "???"

1. A crazy, scheming male lead x a clever, strong heroine who used to be a doormat.

2. In her previous life, the heroine was a doormat and was killed. After transmigrating to another world, the modern era, she receives an education, then transmigrates back to her original world to deal with the awful people.

3. The first point is just what it seems. The truth will only be revealed at the end.

4. Low-magic cultivation.

"Goodbye, Your Highness"

The story is related to this novel, but stands on its own. Please add it to your collection!

Liu Nian, the only daughter of the Liu family, one of the Alliance's three great houses; the beloved younger sister of Liu Yi, the Alliance's current president; and an outstanding student representative at the Alliance University for Women of Peace, returned to the Alliance alone after nearly half a year away in the Empire, where she had gone to fulfill her duty in a political marriage.

Rumor had it that she had been dumped by the Empire's Third Prince, Si Yu, a genius in technology, information, and artificial intelligence, and the creator of immersive AI interaction experiences.

In an instant, the Alliance's elegant, reserved heiress, known for her impeccable manners, became synonymous with having a pretty face but being dull and boring.

But Liu Nian knew this reputation was exactly what she wanted. She needed the disguise to do more.

What she hadn't expected was that the fiance who had broken off their engagement would chase her all the way from the Empire.

"The Empire's Third Prince leaves home for love!"

"Could this be a groveling-for-forgiveness romance?"

Looking at the man before her, smiling with an innocent expression, Liu Nian wished she could slap him all the way back to the Empire.

She didn't need a human spotlight right now, thanks!

Si Yu looked terribly aggrieved. "How come I heard the story here is that I broke off our engagement? You're the one who ran away!"
