The Daoist Ancestor Doesn't Want to Be the Real Heiress

[My next novel will be "The Villain Is Reborn"]

A bolt of heavenly lightning struck Tang Jiusu, the Daoist sect's founding master, while she was undergoing tribulation and sent her flying.

When she woke up again, she had transmigrated to the modern world, taking over the body of a true heiress recently found by a wealthy family.

The true heiress had spent over a decade living in the mountains and was ostracized by her classmates and despised by her family. Meanwhile, the fake heiress had everything going her way and taken everything that belonged to her.

The poor girl couldn't take it anymore and jumped into the water, making way for Tang Jiusu, whose tribulation had failed.

That wouldn't do. Tang Jiusu sharpened her blade and went after... everyone who had hurt the true heiress!

She's not money, so why should she try to make everyone like her? The old master doesn't need your approval anymore!

But she'll gladly take the money in your pockets!

**

When the Tang family regretted everything and searched everywhere for Tang Jiusu, they discovered that their true heiress had... gone into the mountains to become a Daoist?

A TV station even came to interview her.

Reporter: "What's the secret to the thriving incense offerings at your temple?"

Daoist: "It's because we have a wise and mighty abbess."

The camera cuts to Tang Jiusu, who says with great sincerity, "No, I owe it all to my family. Their support, both financial and... spiritual, is what got me this far."

**

The Tang family knelt at the foot of the mountain path, begging Tang Jiusu to forgive them.

In the pouring rain, they knelt for an entire day and night, until Tang Jiusu finally appeared.

"Susu, we know we were wrong. Come home. Family shouldn't hold grudges overnight. We'll do anything if you just come back..."

Tang Jiusu refused them.

"We're your closest family!"

"The closer and more beloved someone is, the less they should hurt you without a second thought. The scars on your heart will never heal."

Upcoming novel

"I'll Reach the Pinnacle of Life by Playing the Idealized First Love"

Xin Li, an all-round entertainer famous for playing idealized first loves, transmigrates into a talentless, pretty face in the entertainment industry.

To get her skills back, she must dive into the dating pool and win the hearts of three male leads with different personalities.

Xin Li takes a look: Hm? Aren't these the male leads from the three dramas I acted in? Play an idealized first love again? Easy. I can do that in my sleep. ...Oh, so I'm a replacement.

Relying on her memories of playing idealized first loves, she creates perfect replacements who make the male leads' hearts race.

Every point of affection she earns is a stepping stone back to the top of the entertainment industry.

The male leads' idealized first loves return one after another, and their true loves have appeared, too.

Having maxed out their affection, Xin Li retires in triumph.

...But the male leads don't want her to leave!

A suave, roguish older man corners Xin Li. "I've never loved the part of you that resembles my idealized first love."

Xin Li: Then you loved the other part I was playing?

The tyrannical CEO confesses to Xin Li atop a tower. "Don't go. I'll give you everything you love."

Xin Li: How do you know what I love? Did your replacement tell you?

The haughty wolfdog bites Xin Li's hand. "This is my mark. From now on, you're mine!"

Xin Li: Wait a minute. I need to get a rabies shot.

The male leads all think Xin Li is their one-of-a-kind replacement.

Until the day the three of them meet and discover that each has a heart-shaped seashell that was supposedly one of a kind.

Just then, a newly crowned top-tier star passes by and casually remarks, "That's a nice seashell."

Theme: Even after you pull a nail out of a wooden board, it leaves a mark.
