Men? Just Tools for Proving the Dao

She wore a blazing red gown, her dark hair cascading like a waterfall, her beauty beyond compare. At first sight, one word came to mind: bewitching.

And it was true. She had it all: wealth, beauty, cultivation. And this person was standing before you, her eyes shimmering, her profile lit by the rosy dawn.

You were sure she liked you.

So you began to scheme, deceive, and flatter her. Her love was within your reach, and you felt smug and scornful, having long since trampled her worth into the dirt in your heart.

But then, one day, she died right before your eyes.

Overcome with grief, you were convinced she was still alive. You searched for her like a madman, and at last you found someone who looked like her.

You cornered her on a cliff. Dozens of men had cornered her too.

All of you called out her name, each of you calling her something different. But her eyes were cold, no longer full of affection.

"You thought your tricks were clever: playing hard to get, making me lose my mind and fall head over heels. You never realized that what I hate most is people using my feelings for them as leverage."

"Everything I did was to reach the Great Dao. I cultivated through life, through death, through desire, through cutting off emotion. So my heart and body are full of love, love surging through every part of me. It doesn't matter who I give it to."

"Do you understand now?"

That was what she said.

Your heart clenched in pain.

You understood, but your love for her had already sunk into your bones. You couldn't let it go.

The others were the same.

You knelt and begged for her mercy, but she remained utterly unmoved.

Reader's Guide:

1. The main story is told in the female lead's perspective, third person. This is a non-typical quick transmigration story. She fakes her death and changes bodies in the same world, and has many secret identities.

2. A massive groveling-after-the-breakup scenario, with a harem of admirers battling for her attention.
