Men Slow Me Down When I Draw My Sword

[New fantasy novel, I Really Didn't Mean to Destroy the World, is now available. Please add it to your collection!] Qi Nianyi transmigrated into a book. She became the moonlight in the hearts of the four male leads of a melodramatic cultivation novel. The book said: She was the fated hero's beloved, destined to earn illustrious achievements that would make the male lead's name and help him reach the summit of the Immortal Dao. She was the Sword Sovereign's childhood sweetheart, destined to give him all her lifelong insights into swordsmanship and help him become a Sword Venerable in his own right. She was the ancient Demon Emperor's savior, destined to care for him through his grievous injuries and advise him as he reclaimed his throne. She was the young lord of the Immortal Alliance's fiancée, destined to devote herself to strengthening the alliance and helping her fiancé become a regional overlord. And all she could do was watch as the fated hero took credit for every one of her achievements. The Sword Venerable, the male supporting character, stole the divine sword that should have been hers. The ancient Demon Emperor severed the meridians she used to wield a sword. In the end, her fiancé killed her with his own hands and offered her up as a sacrifice. Qi Nianyi decided she wasn't going to stand for that. Then, with her pushing things along, the plot galloped off course. She tore off the fated hero's mask as the world's savior, stripped him of all his glory, and became the true savior herself. She reclaimed the divine sword and became the greatest sword cultivator under heaven. The Sword Venerable, the male supporting character, willingly became her sword attendant. She crippled the Demon Emperor's cultivation and made him live forever as a spirit pet. Finally, she returned every bit of the deadly sword strike her fiancé had dealt her, toppled the rotten Immortal Alliance, and became its new ruler. After Qi Nianyi finally defied fate and avoided being sacrificed to death, she realized that, without even meaning to, she had become the greatest under heaven. As these men continued to pursue her with undiminished fervor, Qi Nianyi calmly wiped down all her swords and coldly rejected them all: "Men only slow down my sword draw." "The only lifelong partner a sword cultivator needs is a sword." [Reading Guide] A strong female lead's cultivation journey. The heroine is a sword fanatic, and her character never wavers. She is ruthless and says little. If you disagree, she'll fight you. There is a CP. The male lead is a sword spirit, a genuine tool of a male lead. There is exactly one sword spirit (note this well). This is not a stock-picking romance, nor is it a master-and-disciple story. My own take on cultivation. (The heroine isn't completely blind at the beginning. There's an explanation in the author's note after Chapter 2.) The greatest sword cultivator under heaven x the greatest divine sword under heaven Weibo: @Xing Dong Bu Xing ---New novel, I Really Didn't Mean to Destroy the World, launches in late December. Please add it to your collection!--- There was a world-ending fiend in the Fourteen Provinces. She slaughtered her own kin, drove her elder brother to his death, wiped out entire families, and ran rampant across the land, committing every imaginable atrocity. She was so deranged that she planned to devour every living creature in the world. Everyone wanted her dead. But for a full century, none of the cultivators of the Fourteen Provinces had managed to defeat the world-ending fiend. Every confrontation ended in a crushing defeat. At the critical moment, a divine miracle appeared, summoning worthy people from across the Fourteen Provinces to travel back in time and eliminate the still-weak world-ending fiend a hundred years earlier, restoring peace to the land. A host of heaven's favored answered the call. They traveled back in time, eager to find the young world-ending fiend and kill her as quickly as possible. They carried a sacred mission, and nothing could stand in their way. When Zhuo Guang awoke from a dream, she had become the target of the whole world's hunt. Her senior brother plotted against her in secret. Her senior sister hated her to the bone. Old friends turned against her, and countless strangers were determined to kill her. They all said she would destroy the world a hundred years from now and become the world-ending fiend everyone feared. Zhuo Guang could only run for her life. No one expected that each time she was hunted, her cultivation would grow a little stronger. Each time she was driven into a corner, she became a little stronger still. Until, at last, she grew so powerful that no one could hope to match her. The heaven's favored hunting party suddenly realized that the person they had pursued and tried to assassinate with every scheme and method at their disposal was being driven and pushed by them toward reclaiming the summit of the world, without waiting a hundred years. They themselves had put her back on the altar, made her a shadow in their hearts and a dark cloud hanging over their heads once more. That day, they watched Zhuo Guang, whose cultivation could now rival that of the future world-ending fiend, storm toward them, murderous energy surging around her. As they thought, Our time has come. The world will never know peace again, Zhuo Guang finally snapped and shouted: "Who said I wanted to destroy the world?!" ---I have struggled with myself for so long. I would rather be myself.
