Wu Yunning brought a System template with her when she entered the single-player wuxia game Sword Through the Mortal World.
The developers were inhumane. The game tormented its protagonist and was utterly depressing. If she followed the main storyline, she was certain to become the greatest under heaven, only to be betrayed by everyone and die.
Wu Yunning had gotten twenty-three bad endings in a row, and she wanted no part of that.
The Thieving Saint sent a challenge to the General's Estate, and martial arts experts guarded a precious treasure. She was busy using energy to treat the frail, sickly daughter of the general.
The martial arts alliance leader celebrated his sixtieth birthday, and martial arts masters gathered at the banquet. She was in the kitchen, killing chickens.
Demonic Palace assassins infiltrated the city, causing panic everywhere. She was working as a croupier at a gambling house, dealing cards...
Then one day, a notorious thief overturned her fortune-telling stall. Wu Yunning drew the sword she used in the Nuo exorcism dance. Its cold gleam flashed before their eyes, and its sharp edge cut through everything in its path. She felled him with one strike.
Only then did the martial artists, who had come to think of her as a multitalented odd-job worker, realize:
The technique she used to channel energy and treat the general's daughter was the supreme art, One Yang Finger. The music she played to help the hen die happily was the treasured work of the Sage of Music. The way she dealt cards was a hidden weapon technique of the Tang Sect...
The martial artists: ???
