The White Moonlight Only Wants to Shine Alone

Mu Wanchi discovers that she is living in the world of a novel, specifically a beloved-by-all xianxia story.

But she is not the heroine. The heroine is her lively, radiant, lovable junior sister.

And she is the selfish cannon-fodder character, arrogant and looking down on everyone.

In the book, Mu Wanchi is cold and heartless, vicious and ruthless. She repeatedly frames her junior sister, only to have her throat sealed by the junior sister's sword in the end.

Mu Wanchi: Is this plot for real?

Mu Wanchi is devoted to the Dao, and has never had much interest in courting death.

So the scheming, vicious supporting character in the story becomes a carefree Buddhist instead.

The refined gentleman of a senior brother tells Mu Wanchi to give up her old home, simply because her junior sister likes the peach blossoms blooming in the courtyard.

Mu Wanchi says coldly, "If Junior Sister wants to see peach blossoms, Senior Brother can pull up every peach tree in the courtyard."

Her elegant and radiant master tells Mu Wanchi to give up her sword, simply because her junior sister says she likes it.

Mu Wanchi replies mildly, "My master gave me this sword. If Junior Sister likes it, Master may take it back whenever he wishes."

The aloof and indifferent Sword Venerable tells Mu Wanchi to give up her position as chief disciple, simply because her junior sister says she envies her.

Mu Wanchi remains perfectly calm. "The title of chief disciple is only an empty name. If Junior Sister wants it, she may have it."

Mu Wanchi thinks that overturning her cannon-fodder script will let her escape a tragic fate, but she never expects to be driven into a dead end all the same.

That day, on the Assembly Altar, the peerless chief disciple of the immortal sect stands with her back straight, her figure cold and slender, proud and incomparable.

Holding a long sword, she runs it through her own chest and resolutely destroys the cultivation she spent more than ten years painstakingly developing, repaying in full the kindness of those who raised her. Her voice is cold and decisive: "From this day on, Mu Wanchi severs all ties with the immortal sect. We have nothing more to do with one another!"

On the day she left, everyone fell silent.

From then on, the cultivation world gained a white-robed sword immortal, peerless in beauty and unmatched in swordsmanship.

Reader's guide:

One: The writing style is old-school, with plenty of melodramatic tropes.

Two: The heroine only becomes everyone's cherished one later on.

Synopsis follows:

When Ruan Qing went down the mountain to travel, she saved a delicate and lovely young woman and brought her back to the sect.

That night, Ruan Qing had a dream. In it, the young woman's arrival turned her life upside down.

A friend of over ten years mocked Ruan Qing because of her: "You just happened to save Yu Yan's life. Do you really expect Yu Yan to repay you? That's awfully selfish of you."

Her beloved fiance looked down on Ruan Qing because of her: "Ruan Qing, saving Yan'er is the only useful thing you've ever done in your life."

Even the World Venerable, who had doted on and indulged her since childhood, spoke coldly to her: "Ruan Qing, you shouldn't compete with Yan'er."

In the dream, everyone she cared about loved Su Yuyan deeply, and Ruan Qing was left abandoned by everyone.

When she awoke, Ruan Qing was speechless. She dismissed the ridiculous dream and paid it no mind.

Only when the events from her dream began coming true one by one in real life did Ruan Qing realize how ridiculous she had been.

The only difference from the dream was that Zhuohua, the unattainable flower of the cultivation world and the foremost figure of the righteous path, gave up on taking Su Yuyan as a disciple and chose Ruan Qing instead, treating her with the utmost tenderness.

Ruan Qing could not understand why Zhuohua had passed over Su Yuyan and chosen her, until one day she heard Zhuohua murmur beside her, his voice filled with a regret and pain he had never shown before:

"Qingqing, in this life, I will protect you and keep you safe."

**

Ruan Qing has always lived freely. She will not cling to those she cannot keep.

When everyone finally comes to their senses, they beg her forgiveness one by one, their eyes red and their minds in a frenzy. But she remains utterly untroubled, not even willing to spare them a glance.
