A Substitute's Peach Blossoms, Riding the Waves

[Preorders in my author profile: "A Truly Unlucky Sect, Capable of Anything" and "Transmigration Is Hard, Squeak Squeak Sighs" are eagerly awaiting readers. Blurbs below.] The last mission world assigned to task executor Tao Yao has been rated high risk. In the book's world, the male lead and all the supporting male characters share the same beloved, but she died young, leaving behind only the heroine, her replacement. She and the men torment one another, falling in and out of love, driven wild by passion and banging their heads against walls for love. Only at the very end do they come to their senses: the beloved is gone, the replacement is their true love, and they all get a happy ending. The peach blossom fairy Tao Yao transmigrates into isn't the beloved or the heroine. Yet, not long after the story begins, she jumps off the Immortal-Slaying Platform for the male lead, leaving behind only her original body's essence, which becomes crucial to saving the heroine. Her mission target is even more troublesome: he gets between the male and female leads, evolves from an obstacle in their relationship into a stepping stone, then falls to darkness and becomes the villain who destroys the world. A villain? That's what she's best at. She's not scared! System: That's right, Host. You're the best at taking the villain's path and leaving villains nowhere to go. Tao Yao: Why are you blurting out the truth like that? War God Xuan Li, the strongest fighter in the Celestial Realm, spends year after year guarding the Demon Abyss and keeping the land safe. They say he loves the Hundred Flowers Fairy so deeply it will be the death of him, but when the Peach Blossom Fairy intrudes on their wedding, he rushes to the front lines in grief and despair. By the time he returns, he has become a great demon, and the Celestial Realm is reduced to dust with a wave of his hand. The Hundred Flowers Fairy risks her life to stop Xuan Li from destroying the world. Xuan Li dies, leaving the world a chance to survive. Xuan Li looks at the Peach Blossom Fairy, who has taken the bride's place at the wedding: That's it? But the Peach Blossom Fairy he never took seriously not only wins over his subordinates one by one, she also turns his desolate War God Hall into her own garden, filling it with lush flowers and trees. She even plans to plant all the way to the Demon Abyss, so the whole world will be filled with birdsong and blossoms. Watching Tao Yao beam with delight, Xuan Li feels his urge to fall to darkness fading. Only... "Your Highness, could you move aside a little? You're blocking me..." Yes, she's blocking Tao Yao's view of all the handsome boys and pretty girls. Xuan Li: Forget it. Let's just destroy the world! Tao Yao originally planned to make waves across the Celestial Realm, but the fiercest dragon was already occupying the waters.

She's become the male lead's standard-issue sidekick, a treasure-hunting mouse. She is supposed to lead him around, gathering all kinds of rare treasures and sending him on the road to success. After she finishes her part in the story, Ye Qiuge's enemy will crush her to death, turning her into the catalyst for his advancement. He'll overcome every hardship, clear every obstacle, and ascend to immortality. No! She's finally gotten a second chance at life. She doesn't want to die. So, Ye Qiuge, could you please try a little harder? Ye Qiuge keeps a little notebook titled "The Right Way to Raise a Treasure-Hunting Mouse": 1. Feed it rare treasures to help it cultivate and take human form. 2. Dress it up in pretty little skirts so it looks adorable. 3. Act weak, pitiful, and helpless so it won't have the heart to leave you. 4. ... To raise his treasure-hunting mouse better, Ye Qiuge turns down an offer from the greatest sword sect in the world and joins the Beast-Taming Sect instead. He doesn't even try to make a pact with a more powerful spirit beast. The rare treasures he worked so hard to find all end up stuffed into the mouse's mouth, and even the enemy who was supposed to kill the treasure-hunting mouse is killed by Ye Qiuge first. Xun Zhizhi feels the pressure. Did Ye Qiuge get hurt again today? He'll only get better with kisses and hugs from Zhizhi. Did Ye Qiuge's enemies show up today? The whole mountain is crawling with enemies of that jerk of a male lead. Did Zhizhi take human form today? Not at all!

Her senior brother was born with a sword bone and forged himself into a sword. Her senior sister is peerlessly beautiful and follows the path of music to enlightenment. Her junior brother is pure and immaculate, and has saved countless lives. Her junior sister is a noble heiress and a descendant of royalty. And she's the utterly useless third disciple who belongs neither in heaven nor on earth. Even practicing at home gets her struck by lightning. Of course, only after the lightning wakes her up does she discover that every member of her supposedly immortal sect is a total sucker, and none of them meet a good end. This bunch of suckers is doomed. Before Wen Que can sort out what happened when she got struck by lightning, she discovers that her flirtatious, heartless junior sister is showing off the handsome young man she just "stole" and brought up the mountain. Wen Que can't help clutching her head and grumbling to herself: [We're doomed! That shameless flirt, Junior Sister! Why does she steal every man she sees? Does she know he's the little prince of the neighboring Demon Realm? They're turning the place upside down looking for him! They'll be at our door tomorrow!] Junior Sister: "Wen Jiujiu, say that again?" Wen Que: Huh? The disciples of Venerable Luofeng's Wuyafeng Peak at Tianyang Sect are all exceptional talents. Only the third disciple, neither here nor there, shows no particular aptitude, and people often forget she's even there. Even Venerable Luofeng himself often forgets he has this disciple. The others rarely notice they have a junior or senior sister like her, until one day they discover they can hear Wen Que's thoughts, and those thoughts have a lot to do with them. [Ahhh, Second Senior Sister, don't go! If you go down the mountain this time, you won't come back! That damned fiance will stab you to death on your wedding night. He's going to kill his wife to attain the Dao!] Second Senior Sister, who is just about to head down the mountain, stumbles: What? The next day, Second Senior Sister beats her useless fiance half to death, takes his "compensation," and leisurely returns to the sect, generously giving Wen Que more than half. Wen Que: Huh? Junior Brother is happily about to share the pastries his childhood sweetheart sent with his fellow disciples when he hears Wen Que's thoughts. [If I remember right, these pastries are leftovers from a feast at his childhood sweetheart's house. They've been sitting around for days, so they're probably past their expiration date, right?] Junior Brother: ??? [And if I remember right, that feast was to arrange a betrothal for his childhood sweetheart. When Junior Brother goes back next time, she'll dump him, won't she?] Junior Brother: !!! A few days later, Junior Brother returns pale-faced but clear-eyed and at peace. He hands Wen Que a storage bag full of pills and spirit stones. "You're the only one in this world who's truly good to me, Third Senior Sister!" Wen Que: Huh? The usually expressionless Eldest Senior Brother returns to the sect for once with the faintest hint of a smile. He's found his long-lost family, and his eyes have softened. Seeing Eldest Senior Brother looking so pleased, Wen Que feels her heart tremble: [That sucker, Eldest Senior Brother, has no idea his family knew where he was all along. They were the ones who abandoned him in the first place. Now they've called him back because they want the sword bone in his body, so they can cut it out and transplant it into his useless little brother!] Eldest Senior Brother: ... Not long afterward, Eldest Senior Brother returns to the sect with blood in his hair and tosses Wen Que a storage bag. "There's enough in here for you to forge a decent life-bound sword." Wen Que stares at him blankly. "Eldest Senior Brother, did you just rob someone?" Eldest Senior Brother nods. "Yeah." Wen Que: "But Eldest Senior Brother, I'm not a sword cultivator!" Eldest Senior Brother: ... Even Venerable Luofeng, who spends all his time grieving in the forbidden grounds behind the mountain, hears the thoughts of his third disciple, the one he barely remembers: [Ah, Master is crying again. Should I tell him that his wife has long since been reincarnated, and that no forbidden technique can bring her back?] Venerable Luofeng: ??? [If Master keeps crying in secret like this, his wife has probably already married someone else, right?] Venerable Luofeng: !!! Venerable Luofeng bursts out of seclusion like a gust of wind, scooping up Wen Que, who's still muttering to herself. Wen Que: Huh? As the least noticeable disciple on Wuyafeng Peak of Tianyang Sect, Wen Que often thinks: This bunch of suckers is doomed without me. The suckers of the sect: You're absolutely right!
