The Male Lead's Childhood Friend Is a Bully!

The new serialized novel, Green Sword Sect Cultivation Chronicles, is now under contract. Please give it a read; the blurb is at the end. The blurb for this novel is as follows:

Lin Nuo transmigrated into a book as the male lead’s childhood friend. In the book, she came from a good family, a noble young lady of a cultivation clan. She was pretty, with refined, dignified features, but also arrogant, domineering, and crazed, a thoroughly rotten bully.

In the book, she met the male lead when they were six, at a summer resort. Together, they stumbled upon a secret realm in the wilderness, where each obtained a spirit fruit that cleansed their aptitudes, making their already excellent talents even more outstanding.

Later, they entered the sect together. The original Lin Nuo’s arrogant nature led her to provoke people everywhere, earning the hatred of everyone in her cohort. The female lead entered the sect later. With her more illustrious background, exceptional looks, and formidable combat skills and cultivation, she soundly defeated the original Lin Nuo in the arena. From that day on, the sect disciples rejoiced. They honored the female lead as their senior sister, helped her seize opportunities, helped her win the Immortal Alliance Tournament, and even helped her win the male lead’s affection.

As for the original Lin Nuo, she was naturally ostracized and despised. She had no friends and always stood apart from the crowd with a cold smile, occasionally doing something that made people hate her even more.

In the end, the original Lin Nuo died in a thunderstorm in the wilderness.

Before she drew her last breath, the male lead saw her off. She smiled and asked, “If I’d been a little gentler, would you have liked me?”

The male lead didn’t answer, and the original Lin Nuo didn’t wait for one. She gazed into the dark sky screen and slowly closed her eyes, a faint smile even on her lips as she died. It seemed she had never regretted this life at all!

That was simply how fate had dealt the cards. Lin Nuo had been born into this world, and it wasn’t until she was six, after learning all she could and actually seeing the male lead’s family arrive at the summer resort, that she confirmed she really had transmigrated into a book.

So she decided to “take the initiative” and become friends with the male lead. She absolutely had to obtain the opportunity to cleanse her aptitude.

Later that summer, the two of them did indeed enter a secret realm one evening beneath a sky full of sunset clouds, and both got what they wanted.

But Lin Nuo discovered that the boy didn’t fit the image of the righteous, generous, pure-hearted hero from the book at all. When they entered the secret realm, he almost swallowed her spirit fruit, too. If she hadn’t let her wicked side take over, snatched the food right out of his mouth, and bitten the spirit fruit back from him, she might never have obtained the aptitude of a divine wind-and-thunder body.

That boy was incredibly selfish! Lin Nuo’s first impression of Wei Ling was set in stone. Later, many things happened in the cultivation world, and Lin Nuo found herself forced by various people and circumstances to gradually follow the same “arrogant, domineering” bully’s path as the original. She even seemed to be worse than the original, and her fellow young cultivators were on the verge of turning against her.

By then, she understood the original Lin Nuo completely. She had never wanted to be a bully. No one believed her, but she really had been forced into it!

In his previous life, Wei Ling foiled a conspiracy and killed those who threatened the common people. The cultivation world finally found peace, but soon afterward he died in a tribulation of thunder!

Then he opened his eyes and found himself reborn as a baby, crying as he entered the world. Afterward, he carefully reconsidered that thunder tribulation and always felt there had been something suspicious about his death. He thought back over his previous life in detail and began to sense that many things had been far more complicated than he had once imagined.

Now that he had another life, he decided to investigate slowly and unravel the mystery.

Later, he discovered that many things had changed. The one person who hadn’t changed at all was the childhood friend who used to live next door to him at the summer resort.

No, she had changed, too. She had become even more… “arrogant and domineering”!

Especially when they fought over the spirit fruit in that secret realm at age six. She pounced on him and nearly bit through his lips. She really did snatch the spirit fruit right out of his mouth! What a little bully!

After entering the sect, she continued to “do evil,” relying on her excellent aptitude to provoke her fellow disciples at every turn and make everyone hate her.

But she still didn’t care. She still had only a few hangers-on around her and hardly any friends. She was always alone, standing wickedly outside the crowd and “cackling”!

For some reason, Wei Ling thought he might be going crazy. He actually found her a little cute.

Later, a very close friend appeared at Lin Nuo’s side. She was incredibly familiar with that person, even closer to them than she was to him, her childhood friend. That person clearly had a name, but every so often he heard her teasingly call them Long Aotian.

Long Aotian really was impressive. He had been a nobody when he entered the sect, but he kept stumbling across opportunities that improved his aptitude, and gradually rose into the ranks of the elite.

Wei Ling actually had a good impression of him, especially after secretly seeing him stand up for the weak in a secret realm. They had also worked together against their enemies many times and become friends.

But deep down, well, Wei Ling thought that he was good in every way, except he would be even better if he kept his distance from Lin Nuo. Otherwise, the sight of them joking around so intimately felt a little… irritating.

New serialized novel, Green Sword Sect Cultivation Chronicles. After Song Chi’s perfectly ordinary life ended, she was perfectly ordinarily born into another world.

Her family was ordinary, too. Looking back four generations, her great-grandfather had the best spiritual roots, and he only managed to reach Foundation Establishment. The family’s little incense-powder shop had been passed down thanks to her capable great-grandfather, who’d hitched himself to a powerful patron. So they had enough to eat and drink, but in the cultivation world they were no more than a drop in the ocean, as ordinary as could be.

Her own spiritual-root aptitude was decent enough, at least by the standards of the previous four generations. According to her family, with talent like hers, she had a chance of reaching Foundation Establishment no matter what. With luck, she might even enter a sect as an inner disciple and perhaps get close to the threshold of Golden Core in this lifetime.

It was worth taking a chance.

So, to take that chance, Song Chi traveled a great distance to seek admission to the Green Sword Sect. Her three spiritual roots, Metal, Water, and Wood, were all evenly rated at 77, making her most suited to be a musical cultivator. The Green Sword Sect was famous for that path.

And her gamble paid off. With her obedient look, pretty curved brows, and likable appearance, she persuaded the immortal master at the Testing Platform to go easy on her and let her enter the inner sect!

She had taken a big gamble, and won! Song Chi was beaming with delight.

Next, no kidding, she would work hard at cultivation. Her goal wasn’t a wild fantasy, either: Golden Core. Becoming a Golden Core cultivator was her lifelong ambition.

She focused on studying hard at the academy and cultivating diligently, and ignored everything else.

The annoying part was that the young man from a prominent noble family, who had come to spend the summer next door the year before she entered the sect, followed her everywhere. She went to the academy, and this disciple of a Venerable came along, too, shamelessly taking the seat beside her. He kept picking on her with a sarcastic, punchable grin that said, “I’ll be the second male lead forever and the heroine will never like me.” He kept calling her Qiqi for no reason. Yes, yes, your Metal, Water, and Wood roots are all heavenly roots, you’re amazing, you’re a genius, you’re the best in the world.

Song Chi ignored him.

Then there was the boy who had walked ahead of her before she entered the sect, with red lips and pearly teeth, and a deeply troubled air. She had decided he was the male lead. He showed up at the academy, too, and sat behind her. His eyes were cold enough to freeze her, and she could feel frost covering her back.

But that was fine. He was the standard-issue ice-cold type. If he wanted to radiate a little chill, that was his business.

Although these two attracted a little too much attention and caused her a few minor hassles, that was fine, too. Her unwavering cultivation plan continued steadily forward.

Until one day, the female lead arrived at the academy. Song Chi’s mind, crammed full of countless novels, finally awakened to her memories. So she really had transmigrated into a book. She couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. She was probably some minor character, a fourth or fifth female lead who had a crush on someone, but that didn’t stop her from grinning broadly.

Her opportunity had come. This must be a transmigrator’s perk!

As long as the book was accurate, she could obtain a spirit medicine in the upcoming secret realm that would cleanse her spiritual roots. With roots rated below 80 and no immortal root, she had no hope of reaching Golden Core in this life. But the secret medicine mentioned in the book would surely cleanse her roots and improve her talent. Then she could dream not only of Golden Core, but even of reaching out to touch the Nascent Soul realm.

As for the heroine, the male lead, and the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh male leads, with their ridiculous romantic entanglements and endless battle for love, she’d thought she would just be a spectator.

Later, she discovered that she was the most thrilling part of that ridiculous love triangle!
