Synopsis: Ke Ran wakes up to find that she has transmigrated into a cultivation novel as the childhood friend of the male lead. The original owner had a miserable life. She loved the male lead, Gu Yao, deeply, but after a girl who appeared out of nowhere entered his life, he gradually drifted away from her. The only thing she could do was use her innate talent as a spirit-plant cultivator to protect the hundred thousand mu of immortal fields belonging to the male lead's family, then die of sorrow after a lifetime of hopeless waiting.
When Ke Ran read the book, she felt especially sorry for the original owner.
Now that she has become the original owner herself, all she wants to do is curse: To hell with silently protecting him! To hell with those hundred thousand mu of immortal fields!
With these skills, she could grow crops, make a fortune, and build a life of her own!
But first, she has to fight the male lead for a treasure! Ke Ran will become a renowned spirit-plant cultivator because the male lead gives her a treasure. The original novel mentions that he found it in a secret realm when he was six.
So when she turns six, Ke Ran sticks close to Gu Yao. She eats and drinks at his expense and even insists on sharing a little blanket with him. What kind of nonsense is this about him bestowing the treasure on her? She'll take it for herself!
Then she successfully gets the treasure and begins dreaming up her grand plan to become a spirit-plant cultivator. She'll farm, make a fortune, and become the richest woman in the entire cultivation world!
Then she discovers that she can only use the treasure by practicing the immortal arts of Yunding Sect. Her dream of becoming the richest woman crashes in an instant, and she still can't escape the plot. Not only can she not just ditch Gu Yao, she has to go to Yunding Sect and watch him become utterly infatuated with the girl who appeared out of nowhere.
But it doesn't matter. She doesn't love Gu Yao. Whether he falls for that girl, a fairy, or anyone else, whether he loves them so passionately that he'd move heaven and earth, all those original-story antics have nothing to do with her.
She'll quietly develop her skills, quietly cultivate, and, while she's at it, quietly pick up a gentle and handsome third male lead. Forget loving the heroine. Isn't she charming, sweet, and rich?
Gu Yao has known since childhood that the little dumpling from the neighboring immortal estate is a troublemaker. She's been making his life difficult since she was three. She's also a little miser, always shouting that she wants to farm, become the richest woman, and marry a beauty to take home and live happily ever after with. Farming and becoming the richest woman are perfectly fine, but marrying a beauty and living happily ever after? Who gave her the nerve? The moment she clung to him and rolled into the same little blanket with him at six, she was destined to be his wife, Gu Yao's. Looking for some other beauty? Dream on!
Coming Soon: The Master Thinks I'm in Love with Him. Gu Changxia transmigrates into a book as the male lead's third junior sister. In the story, aside from her pretty face, she is completely unremarkable.
Yet this gentle, quiet character is made to fall for the young master of the villains, only for the man to beat her to death.
When Gu Changxia read the book, she couldn't help sighing. Good women really do get hurt by terrible men so easily.
Now that she has become the original owner, that villainous young master can go die wherever he likes. If she gets strong enough, perhaps she'll even kill him and avenge the original owner.
But first, she has to become strong.
That means keeping a close eye on the male lead, her senior brother, the chosen one of destiny.
By her calculations, the year she transmigrates, her senior brother will encounter an ancient secret realm and obtain a priceless treasure.
Gu Changxia naturally won't steal the male lead's opportunity, but she does want to follow him and pick up something he overlooks.
When the male lead later returns to the secret realm, he obtains an ancient spirit-healing acupuncture manual.
The manual is perfectly suited to the original owner's talents, but by then she is already dead, so the male lead feels a little sad for a while.
Mastering this remarkable book allows one to heal or kill. Later, the male lead gives it to a friend, who uses it to make a name for himself.
Gu Changxia wants to get her hands on the manual.
So...
That year, whenever her senior brother goes out on a mission, she follows him. When he takes leave to visit his family, she finds a way to secretly follow him, too.
Even when her senior brother goes to bathe in the spirit spring, she... has no choice but to follow him.
Heaven rewards the persistent, and at last, she succeeds.
But after that, her senior brother starts acting strangely, always staring at her with a resentful look.
Ji Yuanchen's first impression of his third junior sister was that she was a gentle, shy, quiet, and sensible girl.
That is, until she spent an entire year "pestering" him. Wherever he went, all he had to do was pay the slightest attention and he could tell that a little tail was following him.
Even when he went to bathe, that little tail actually dared to shamelessly follow him.
He was indeed handsome, born into a distinguished family, and exceptionally gifted, so having his third junior sister adore him so much was, admittedly, a minor "annoyance."
Then, a year later, this "annoyance" vanished without a trace.
His third junior sister not only avoided him at every turn, she spent all day trying to pair him up with other women.
Ji Yuanchen sneered to himself. So now she was trying to play hard to get? He wasn't falling for it.
Besides, being devoted to him wasn't a bad thing. After all, he... had feelings for her, too.
