Reborn as Long Aotian's Doomed Younger Sister

Qi Jiao transmigrates into a book, specifically a power-fantasy cultivation novel about a destined hero. In the novel, the male lead repeatedly goes through the satisfying cycle of being looked down on and then slapping his detractors in the face. In the end, he reaches the pinnacle, becomes the supreme powerhouse of the cultivation world, and ascends with his beloved wives and concubines.

Of course, she isn't one of those beloved wives and concubines. The male lead's surname is Qi and his given name is Dian. As it happens, he's her biological older brother.

And she's the burden of a younger sister who tags along after the destined hero, born with an intellectual disability and the mind of a three-year-old.

She appears when the male lead is at his lowest. After he refuses to break off his engagement and is beaten badly by his fiancée's lover and his men, she accidentally gets lost.

From then on, the male lead not only focuses on slapping his detractors in the face, but also takes on the important task of searching for his younger sister. Along the way, he meets a princess of the demon race, a seductive and passionate witch, a gentle and kindhearted righteous sect immortal...

Perhaps the author got tired of writing about the search for his sister. In the end, with a few strokes of the pen, the male lead learns from a minor thug that his sister is dead. It turns out that shortly after getting lost, she struggled fiercely, so they covered her mouth and nose and suffocated her to death. Afterward, her body was thrown into the Yi River and never found.

The truly despairing part is that Qi Jiao transmigrates right into the middle of her own kidnapping...

At the last possible moment, she can only grab a refined-looking young man nearby and shout, "Big Brother!"

What Qi Jiao doesn't know is that you can't just throw your arms around people, and you can't just call anyone "Big Brother."

That's how she ends up being taken back to his sect. She never manages to leave his side for the rest of her life, cherished in the palm of his hand and never made to suffer the slightest grievance.

As you can tell from the blurb, this is a nontraditional cultivation story, and the female lead is probably a universally adored little sweetheart~

Cool, aloof, brilliant male lead x lively, goofy, adorable female lead

Upcoming novel: Everyday Life in Bianjing

When Chen Yuanniang was born, her father was demoted from the rank of Assistant Commandant to a commoner. She too went from a pampered young lady of an official family to a farmer's daughter, spending her childhood cutting grass, herding cattle, and doing hard labor.

Even the marriage arranged when she was an infant went nowhere.

With the family grain jar empty, Chen Yuanniang was scolded by her grandmother as a useless burden and sent up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables. Luckily, she had the sharpest eyes for miles around and always managed to gather more than anyone else.

Then good fortune fell from the sky: she no longer had to dig for wild vegetables!

Because her fiancé's family sent someone to break off their engagement!!

A thick stack of silver notes, countless chests of compensation gifts, and even the ancestral home that once belonged to her family. This wasn't a broken engagement, it was the God of Wealth coming to enlighten and save her.

But it also made the whole village jealous, and people seeking her money came knocking to ask for her hand in marriage.

Her grandmother looked at her lovely granddaughter and her young grandson, who was old enough to start school and pay tuition, then gritted her teeth and made a decision.

"We're moving! Moving house!"

The whole family quickly moved to Bianjing, settling into a small courtyard with a storefront on a busy street, and began a lively life among the city's common folk.

Short Scene One:

Her younger brother went to school, while her grandmother and mother kneaded dough for steamed buns in the shop. As for Yuanniang...

She rolled up her sleeves and was about to help with the work when her grandmother slapped her hand away without mercy, leaving a rouge-red mark on her fair arm.

Her grandmother's fierce voice filled the whole room. "You brainless girl! What decent young lady bares her arms and legs? Don't you want to find a husband? Do you think this family depends on you earning a few measly coins?"

Her mild-mannered mother quietly rubbed the injury.

"Buy yourself a couple of bright new outfits." Her grandmother tossed down a heavy little purse and continued gruffly, "Finding a good husband is what matters."

Yuanniang smiled without arguing, quickly stuffed the purse into her sleeve, and nodded again and again like a squirrel.

Her younger brother, back from school, put on a stern face. "Elder Sister, don't worry. I'll study hard and one day earn you and Mother noble titles. We won't need outsiders to bring honor to our family."

Short Scene Two:

With everyone in her family standing out too much, Yuanniang had no choice but to do as she was told. Carrying her little purse, she spent her days going out with the young women in the neighborhood to buy rouge and watch the bustle, becoming just like a young woman born and raised in Kaifeng City.

Chen Yuanniang soon set her sights on a handsome scholar from a well-off family. He often came to the shop to buy steamed buns, and his eyes always stayed fixed on her. She pretended to be shy and occasionally lifted her beautiful face to ask him to teach her how to write, until she had him completely smitten.

After that, new treats appeared every day outside her family's little gate. Sometimes rouge, sometimes pastries, sometimes flower hairpins...

Their affection grew deeper.

Then the scholar revealed who he was and said he wanted to formally propose and marry her. Chen Yuanniang froze as if struck by lightning.

Wasn't that the family of the fiancé whose engagement she had broken off...
