Cultivating Immortality by Writing Over-the-Top Fiction

The author's new novel, The Entire Immortal Realm Begs Me Not to Die, by Mao Kou, is now underway. What should you do when you transmigrate into a xianxia tragedy as a cannon-fodder female side character who won't survive the first chapter, and the New Literary Star System you're bound to is completely useless? Lin Shenxiu: Great. It's hopeless. I may as well wait to die. System: No, no, no! You don't know this, but I can work in this world too! System: Every positive review your writing gets will boost your cultivation by a whole level, with no upper limit, dear! System: Get enough positive reviews, and becoming a Great Golden Immortal is within reach! Lin Shenxiu, who doesn't actually want to die, bolts upright and spends the night writing a ten-thousand-word melodramatic novel based on the hero and heroine, then drops it from the sky onto the major cultivation sects. If the plot isn't enough, pad it out with filler. When Lin Shenxiu gets writer's block, she instinctively pads out the word count with the peerless immortal scripture the original male lead found in a secret realm... The young lord of the neighboring Immortal Palace, a Daoist prodigy, and the young master of the Sword Sect: ??? At first glance: What garbage is this? At second glance: This is amazing! What profound and wondrous Daoist techniques! Some enter a state of enlightenment, some break through bottlenecks, and some advance on the spot. Feeling her power increase, Lin Shenxiu suddenly understands: the cultivation world loves melodrama too. The next day, she beats the male lead to a pulp. Male lead: ??? This isn't right! Watching the male lead get beaten until he questions his whole life, Lin Shenxiu reflects. She may have discovered a new way to make a fortune. What kind of writing sells best and grabs the most attention these days? Melodrama! “System, times have changed!” Lin Shenxiu declares, sweeping her hand grandly at the System. “This world belongs to melodrama!” System: ???? The people of the cultivation world are suffering through the trashy melodrama they're forced to read. The big shot is great in every way, but she just loves melodrama. Please write less melodrama and pad the story more! Later The System watches as the major sects, noble clans, demon tribes, and demon clans all recite Lin Shenxiu's trashy melodramatic fiction aloud and even write three-thousand-word rave reviews. It is left completely stunned. I knew my Host was wild, but I never imagined she was this wild. A way of completing the mission that no one had ever imagined has appeared. This will be my next novel.

Who could kill the Demon Emperor Yan Qing?” “Don't listen to that nonsense. A fortune-teller predicted that the Demon Emperor Yan Qing will one day die at someone's hands.” “What is that person's name?” “I think it's Ye Heguang.” Ye Heguang, passing by at just that moment: ... Ye Heguang is a substitute junior sister whose fiancé was stolen, whose dantian was destroyed, and whose friends and family all turned against her, sending her from the clouds to the mud. A cannon-fodder's fate? Ye Heguang: Boring. Life has lost all meaning, so she plans to find somewhere to die in peace. Until one day The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion proclaims that she is the future savior who will kill the Demon Emperor. Overnight, Ye Heguang becomes the shining light of righteousness in the cultivation world. The Medical Immortal heals her destroyed dantian, the Sword Immortal personally teaches her swordsmanship, and the Dao Ancestor instructs her in the Dao and recites scriptures to her... All kinds of rare heavenly treasures, top-tier cultivation manuals, and sword techniques are delivered to her in an endless stream. Looking at the countless treasures sent her way, Ye Heguang sighs. “Really, there's no point in being alive.” The people of the cultivation world: “Our little ancestor, please, just try staying alive for another five hundred years!” Far away in the Demon Realm, Demon Emperor Yan Qing reads the report on Ye Heguang sent by his subordinates and falls into deep thought. A moment later, he chuckles. “Interesting.” Is this the one fate has chosen to be his executioner? Synopsis written on 2025/2/23 Theme: Persevere, overcome adversity, and turn the tables
