After the Spiritual Qi Revival, I Became the Chosen One

[The new novel, After Turning Dark, I Became the Strongest in the Three Realms, is now available. Its blurb is below this one~] *This novel's blurb: After the spiritual qi revival, Cheng Mianmian awakened to her role in the story and learned that she was a disposable female lead in a book, destined to live for the male lead and ultimately die for him. Cheng Mianmian: Why should I? She snatched the male lead's golden finger, thinking she could bind herself to the Protagonist System. Instead, she ended up bound to the Dragon-Aotian System. The System said: [As a qualified Dragon-Aotian, you were born to be the protagonist, the most dazzling person in any crowd. Everyone else's brilliance should be completely overshadowed by yours.] [Your daily mission is to show off and slap faces.] [Your main mission is to walk the protagonist's path and leave the protagonist with nowhere to go.] Cheng Mianmian: Got it. Later, the System nearly broke down: [No, I don't think you understand what showing off and face-slapping means.] - Less than a year after the spiritual qi revival, everyone had come to the same understanding: If you run into a student from Lanwu, whoever they are, run, and run as fast as you can. "Why?" Victim One: "Nobody at their school is normal! Especially those people who hang around Cheng Mianmian. Every single one is crazier than the last! They're all nuts!" Victim Two: "If you run into Cheng Mianmian, that demon of a girl, don't bother running. Just kneel and beg her to slap you. You're going to get hit sooner or later anyway." Victim Three: "The students at Lanwu are all Cheng Mianmian's lackeys. They're always clustered around her like stars around the moon, just like a queen making her royal progress. The moment they spot a student from another school, they swarm them, pin them to the ground, and line up like pigs waiting for slaughter, asking Cheng Mianmian if she wants to slap them around for fun. After Cheng Mianmian finishes slapping them, they even sweetly ask if she's tired and whether her hand hurts. They're nuts!" Victim Four: "They love doing things that don't cause much physical harm but are incredibly humiliating. I just want to know, can someone please do something about them?" *Blurb for the new novel: After Turning Dark, I Became the Strongest in the Three Realms When Yun Zhen was ten, her fate changed beyond recognition. She became the most beloved young disciple of Sword Venerable Yun Qi. Everyone said she was born with a sword bone, had astonishing talent, and was personally taught swordsmanship by the strongest Sword Venerable in the Three Realms. Her future was sure to be bright. Everyone in the Three Realms envied Yun Zhen. Everyone wanted to be her. Until the day of Yun Zhen's twentieth birthday, when Bai Zhenzhen returned. Yun Zhen discovered that she had only ever been Bai Zhenzhen's substitute. Everyone who had once cherished her changed completely. First, they ripped out her innate sword bone and presented it to Bai Zhenzhen with both hands; They crippled her cultivation and cast her out of the sect to fend for herself; Then they pursued her for a thousand miles, ruined her face, destroyed her soul, and made her vanish from existence... Later, Yun Zhen was reborn and changed her name to Lin Chu. Her talent was exceptional and her beauty radiant. No one could ever eclipse her brilliance again. Later still, when Lin Chu's true identity was revealed, the Three Realms were shaken: The genius sword cultivator whom the First Sword Venerable begged to take as his disciple, only to be rejected, was the very woman once cast out of her sect; The young talisman cultivator who made the Demon Emperor fall in love with someone else, leaving him lovesick and desperate, only to reject him, was her; The alchemy grandmaster whom the Human Emperor dreamed of currying favor with was also her; And the genius artifact cultivator whom the Demon Clan's Third Crown Prince humbled himself to recruit was her as well. Lin Chu stirred up the Three Realms, repaying kindness with kindness and vengeance with vengeance. Before she knew it, she had taken her place in the Palace of Three Realms and become their sovereign. Those who had once betrayed and hurt her regretted it bitterly. They knelt humbly at her feet, offering her their hearts with both hands, only for her to toss them aside like trash. * No one knew that after Lin Chu's soul was scattered, someone had traveled across the Three Realms to collect her fragments. He pieced together all three thousand fragments of her soul and gave his life to bring her back. That person was Xie Yun Zhao, Lin Chu's old nemesis. The day Lin Chu returned, reborn, she eyed him warily. "What scheme are you plotting by saving me?" Xie Yun Zhao: "...I don't want to work hard anymore. Take care of me." Lin Chu thought it over. "All right." She was very good at raising spirit pets. Xie Yun Zhao thought he'd successfully confessed his love, but somehow ended up as the prettiest nine-tailed white fox in Lin Chu's harem. "..." He regretted it then. He really regretted it. Recommendations for friends' ongoing novels: *After Losing My Memory, I Became the Strongest in the Apocalypse by Ye Yiling When the apocalypse came, Rong Xiao crawled out of a pile of corpses with no memory. A kind stranger picked her up and brought her into their group. Her teammates each had their own strengths, but when it came to Rong Xiao: she could eat, she was pretty, she had no supernatural abilities, and she had a very strange way of thinking. Oh dear, their already underpowered team had just gotten even worse _(:з)∠)_ Well, whatever. They'd just picked up a cute mascot. Rong Xiao, surrounded and protected by her teammates: "?" One day, the team was captured by the enemy and taken to their base. Because of her pretty face, Rong Xiao was sent alone to the leader's room as a gift. The underlings would never forget that dark, windy night when their own leader was helped out, bruised and swollen, with tears at the corners of his eyes. Rong Xiao stole the warehouse keys, freed the captured laborers, and even looted all the supplies they'd worked so hard to steal... er, collect. Everyone Rong Xiao had beaten up insisted she wasn't human! Literally. What normal person's number of supernatural abilities could be counted on both hands? Those consumed by envy called her a supernatural ability tycoon, saying she was just abusing her few lousy powers to do whatever she wanted! During a sudden crisis, everyone's supernatural abilities stopped working, and countless groups were thrown into dire straits. Rong Xiao stepped forward, turned the tide, and once again raised their understanding of what it meant to be powerful. Those who had badmouthed Rong Xiao dropped to their knees in a passionate display: "Boss, I was wrong! Save me! Boohoo!" *Strange Things Attack by Cong Ling When Li Mi woke up, she opened the door and stepped into a bizarre, uncanny world. She felt that something was wrong with her. Fragments of another person's memories had appeared in her mind, while her own memories felt as unfamiliar as if she'd never lived them. Later, she discovered she wasn't really "herself" at all. Someone had switched her body with another person's. But that person could never have imagined that this weak body concealed a depth of tremendous power... A weak, ugly sparrow could transform into a dazzling phoenix. - At first, she thought it had all started with the other person's selfish desires. Only later did she understand that they were both insignificant links in a vast conspiracy. But none of the people controlling everything from behind the scenes had expected that this insignificant link would change the ending of the entire story. Theme: Women should be self-reliant
