Wei Qianyi, an internationally renowned surgeon, transmigrates into a cultivation novel as a foil to the heroine in the early chapters.
The beloved heroine is independent and radiant, while Wei Qianyi is vicious and stupid, a doddering vine who depends on men to survive.
But if she mechanically follows the original plot, she'll coast to a happy ending.
She'll take that script!
And so Wei Qianyi promptly switches to doing the bare minimum:
Her Dao heart is damaged, her mind is empty, and people mock her. Wei Qianyi doesn't care. Her status is lofty, so those people can only gossip behind her back. To her face, they still have to flatter her.
Her fiance flirts with the heroine. Wei Qianyi walks past with a smile. He's only a backup for the heroine, after all, and he'll eventually come back to her.
Her younger brother accuses her of siding with the enemy. Wei Qianyi shrugs indifferently. Whatever blood feud there is, she's an outsider and doesn't want to get involved.
Wei Qianyi once naively believed that if she mechanically lived the way the book described, she could have a simple, happy life.
But she was wrong. In the end, they were two entirely different people.
The Wei Qianyi in the book couldn't feel pain. She could.
Everyone declares that Wei Qianyi will spend her life confined to her household. As a good-for-nothing, trying to carve out a place for herself in this dog-eat-dog world is tantamount to courting death.
Until that night, when she smashes open the cages holding the medicine slaves. Through the flames, people see Wei Qianyi's calm, impassive profile.
After that, everything starts going off track.
Her childhood sweetheart and fiance waits for her to regret it and come back, but she has already set out on a path in the opposite direction.
Her younger brother, who hates her to the bone, abandons the white-moonlight heroine and runs to Wei Qianyi in tears. "You have so many people around you, but I'm all you've got, Sis. And you're all I've got."
The arrogant Demon King once regarded her as dust. In the end, she has him completely in the palm of her hand, toying with him as she pleases.
Once, everyone mocked Wei Qianyi as a ripe, juicy peach anyone could pluck. Later, she becomes a wild thornbush clinging to a sheer cliff, one no one dares to touch.
Wei Qianyi tears up the script and becomes someone who leaves the entire world staring in wonder.
P.S. The male lead appears later on.
