Qiao Si had a dream.
In it, a man crippled her cultivation, broke her wings, and imprisoned her in a cage. He slaughtered her parents, relatives, and friends to the last one.
She had been heaven's favorite, the cherished jewel of the foremost immortal sect, but he cast her into the dust and ground her into the mud, humiliating her in every way. Even his female subordinate, who was in love with him, dared to bully her in private.
And the man said everything he did was for a reason.
He wiped out her whole family to avenge his own, even though her father had raised him for more than ten years.
He crippled her cultivation to keep her from becoming a sacrifice on the path to ascension.
He overturned the cultivation world, imprisoned her at his side, and slaughtered everyone who tried to help her escape so he could bring the world entirely under his control and protect her better.
Qiao Si: ???
Why, thank you. Could you keep this twisted love of yours to yourself?
Even more frightening, a voice in the dream kept urging her to forgive him.
"You've tortured him enough. Hurry up and forgive him so you can have your happy ending!"
"The chase-your-wife-to-the-crematorium arc has gone on long enough. It's time for the sweet part."
Qiao Si: ???
Why don't you try having a sweet romance with the person who killed your father?
Driven nearly mad by the voice, she finally turned and leapt into the Abyss of Falsehood, a bottomless chasm filled with miasma.
Luckily, it was only a dream.
Qiao Si had just finished reassuring herself when she got into a car accident on her way out the next day.
Then she transmigrated into the world from her dream, becoming the unfortunate heroine whom the male lead insisted on protecting.
Qiao Si, 27, was the youngest doctoral supervisor at A University and a leading expert in high-energy physics in China. She had just been nominated for a national science award for her groundbreaking research on dark energy.
Then she got into a car accident while going out to buy groceries and transmigrated into a cultivation world.
A voice in her mind told her that this was the world of her previous life, originally a book in which she was the heroine. The intended ending was that the male lead would torment her physically and emotionally, but after learning the reasons behind his actions, she would eventually forgive him.
But somehow, her previous life had gained a mind of its own, forcibly broken free of the plot, and leapt into the Abyss of Falsehood, where even gods and demons could not survive.
After losing her, the male lead went completely mad. He eventually found a forbidden technique, reversed time and space, and forcibly brought her back to this world after she had been reincarnated, determined to give them their happy ending.
Qiao Si: ...
The voice earnestly tried to persuade her: Can't you just have a happy ending with the male lead? He loves you so much. If you don't bring this world's story to a happy ending, you won't be able to return to your original world.
Qiao Si: ...I'm going to throw up.
A happy ending with him is impossible. It wasn't happening in my previous life, and it's even less possible in this one.
She refused to submit to so-called fate. Instead, she applied herself to scientific research and discovered that cultivation was simply the manipulation of dark energy, and that differences in cultivation levels came down to distinctions between molecules, atoms, and neutrinos.
Well, would you look at that. This is right up my alley.
[Reading guide]
1. The heroine's growth is the focus. There will be a male lead (not the original male lead), and he will eventually follow her back to the real world.
2. The author is not an expert. High-energy physics concepts are included only to serve the plot, so please don't take them too seriously.
Theme: Don't believe other people when they tell you what your fate is
