He Yang transmigrated into a wish-fulfillment novel about a mighty male lead who leveled up by fighting monsters and gathered countless underlings and women around him.
But she wasn't part of his harem, she wasn't one of his underlings, and she wasn't even his opponent.
She became the founder of Bixiao Sect, a minor immortal sect the protagonist casually wiped out on his way to leveling up.
A late-stage Nascent Soul founder who had slept for five hundred years and suddenly awakened.
She had read the book, but she didn't remember this sect. After digging through her memories for ages, she finally recalled that the book described their sect in a mere nineteen characters:
"Gu Quan Ci unleashed a single sword strike, and the entire Mount Wulan was razed to the ground."
Gu Quan Ci was the male lead, and their sect was right at the top of that mountain.
He Yang: No way. I have to work hard to level up, and you juniors have to work hard with me. We're going to revive our sect! In thirty years, when the male lead shows up, we'll make sure to cut him down with one strike first!
So the disciples of Bixiao Sect were forced to join their founder in the daily rat race, training for at least eight hours every day.
Who could have guessed that thirty years later, the male lead still hadn't arrived, but their sect had grown larger and larger? Then the disciple under her, a boy named Xiao Chi, cautiously told the founder who had explicitly forbidden anyone surnamed Gu from entering the sect, "Master, I actually have the surname Gu, too."
