In the sect, Shen Shiqi was nothing but a useless little good-for-nothing. Her aptitude was poor, her cultivation weak, and she had no ambition. Her pill furnace exploded every time she tried alchemy, her attempts at crafting failed without exception, her talismans blew up, and she couldn't even lift a sword. For a long time, she was the sect's cautionary example.
Then one day, the demons invaded and specifically demanded that Shen Shiqi come out and face them.
While everyone was still wondering who this person was, the sect's forgotten good-for-nothing shot into the air and met the demon who had come to provoke them.
What happened next left everyone speechless.
They watched as Shen Shiqi calmly ground the arrogant demon into the dirt, using such brutal methods that everyone else kept their distance.
All the disciples gaped in disbelief. The person beating the Demon Lord so thoroughly that he couldn't fight back was the same good-for-nothing who couldn't even lift a sword.
Even the sect elders had never imagined that such a peerless genius was hiding among them.
From then on, she became famous after a single battle.
Shen Shiqi transmigrated into a wish-fulfillment harem novel aimed at male readers. She was neither the protagonist nor a supporting character, but a cruel, bloodthirsty villain boss who appeared later in the story.
In the original, she was dull-witted, insecure, and sensitive, an unremarkable outer-sect disciple who eventually fell to demonic cultivation. Her ending, naturally, was death.
When Shen Shiqi transmigrated, she had just been framed by her fellow disciples and sentenced to spend a year guarding graves in the back hills.
Going from a well-adjusted young person to a nobody and a pitiful little weed in an instant, Shen Shiqi was shattered.
And what came next shattered her even more.
On her first day after transmigrating, her Heavenly Demon Body turned into a Netherworld Demon Body, and she even got a Heavenly Dao Spirit Body as a bonus...
Shen Shiqi: ??? Isn't this the kind of setup meant for a protagonist? It's a little weird to give it to a villain like me, isn't it?
On her nth day after transmigrating, a woman with a cool, noble air and breathtaking beauty came looking for her and said she was Shen Shiqi's betrothed... wife! In other words, her fiancee!!!
Shen Shiqi was dumbstruck and slapped herself hard. ??? Was she still asleep, or had she transmigrated again?!
But reality told her that none of this was a dream!
Many years ago, Yan Cijing promised a little girl that when she grew up, Yan Cijing would be her bride. Yan Cijing had kept that promise in her heart ever since.
After years apart, the little girl had grown into a graceful beauty.
When Yan Cijing went to fulfill her promise, the girl had long since forgotten her.
But after waiting so many years for someone, and finally getting her hands on the precious girl, how could Yan Cijing bear to let her go?
So a gentle snare gradually spread, waiting for a big fish named Shen Shiqi to willingly swim into it.
After transmigrating, Shen Shiqi thought that if she kept her head down and avoided the original plot, she could enjoy a peaceful old age.
Reality told her to stop dreaming.
Other people found opportunities when they went out. She ran into ghosts, and even got a forced apprenticeship package thrown in.
She got up earlier than a rooster and went to bed later than a dog. By day, she braved mountains of blades and seas of fire. At night, she had to warm the bed and blankets.
Other villains ran into the protagonist's group and fled. When Shen Shiqi met them, her cheap masters kicked her straight into the fray and told her to beat them up.
Shen Shiqi: ??? What a fine example of loving masters and filial disciples. Are they trying to kill me off early?!
Shen Shiqi: ...Director, are you there? Did you give me the wrong script?
