Dugu Wang pierced the Heavenly Dao with a single sword thrust, and the Heavenly Dao turned the tables and blamed her for it.
She had to find people with the following backstories and help them grow stronger to make it up to the Heavenly Dao.
“A genius turned good-for-nothing? Dumped by his fiancée?”
“Born with a sacred heart, only to have it ripped out? A clan brother who outshines him at every turn?”
“Born unable to cultivate? Destined to be an ill-fated loner?”
“Lowborn and of unknown identity? The master he serves has an enemy?”
“Used as a vessel, then reborn to seek revenge?”
Dugu Wang thought: Why do these tropes seem so familiar...
The Heavenly Dao said miserably: “According to fate, these people are all Heaven's chosen ones. Only if they follow their original paths to the peak is there any chance my injuries can be healed.”
Fine, I'll become the force supporting them from behind... Dugu Wang was horrified. Isn't this just the disciples-taking genre? Am I actually a character in a book?!
Reader's Note:
1. The protagonist is a walking cheat, the ceiling of low-martial worlds.
2. Everyone has one-sided feelings, 1v1, career comes first and romance second, with the romance developing later.
Theme: Finding the meaning of one's existence along the way
