After My Sect Offered Me as a Sacrifice

[Complete. Thank you all for your support =3=] [The preorder, "Has the Background Character Realized She's Everyone's Favorite Yet?", is now underway. Synopsis at the bottom =3=] Xi Zhao was a pitiful girl whom nobody cared about. Though she was an inner sect disciple, she lived in the most remote courtyard. Her daily duties were sweeping the grounds and running errands for her senior brothers and sisters. Her seniors shone brilliantly, while she was like a stone covered in dust. Until one day, everyone finally remembered her. They said, "Xi Zhao, the sect has raised you for years. Now it's time to repay us. Go sacrifice yourself in place of Senior Sister." Xi Zhao thought about it, then said yes. After Xi Zhao died, the sect descended into chaos. When Senior Sister learned that A Ruo had been sacrificed, she fell into demonic cultivation in a single moment. "She saved my life. I'll take her place." The famously good-natured Demon Venerable stood in an empty courtyard, his gaze murderous. "Where's my master?" The favored genius of the greatest sect came looking for them, eyes bloodshot. He had finally found his long-lost younger sister. "Her name is Xi Zhao. How can you not know her?" The Sword Venerable, who had long since ascended, finally opened a passage between the two worlds. His voice was awkward, but anyone could hear the tenderness in it. "My daughter has looked up to you and received your care for many years. I can grant you one request." But the person they sought had long since been pushed into the abyss by someone else. Xi Zhao thought she would die after falling off the cliff, but when she opened her eyes, she found herself in an unfamiliar place. Here, she had a new master and new senior brothers and sisters. They all thought Xi Zhao was a poor thing who had suffered terribly, and they tried their hardest to be kind to her. Only when Xi Zhao embarked on a path no ordinary person could ever reach did they realize that their precious little junior sister had always been a jade stone hidden beneath the dust. - A little skit. One day, the "Broken Family" group met the "Happy Family" family. "We lost our precious girl..." "What a coincidence. We found a real treasure..." "She suffered so much. We feel terribly guilty." "She was treated unfairly before, so we're making it up to her tenfold." "She has extraordinary talent. If we hadn't neglected her, she'd already be a star among her peers." "Well... she's the pride of all of us." Both groups realized something was wrong. "She's a little girl?" "...He's a boy." Much later, after learning the truth, the "Broken Family" group said, "Tch! You bunch of dogs!" "What a coincidence." "Maybe not such a coincidence." "Why don't you fight it out?" Notes: 1. A cultivation and leveling story with a heroine adored by everyone. She's not clingy, doesn't meow for attention, and lets people pet and hug her, but not kiss her. 2. Mostly family and friendship, with a romance subplot, but not much of one. ***** Preorder now underway: "Has the Background Character Realized She's Everyone's Favorite Yet?" ***** [A slow-to-realize, adored-by-everyone heroine × everyone has a one-sided crush] Yun Zhuoqing discovered that she was living in a melodramatic school novel. Every protagonist's life was full of drama, and she was about to transfer to their school. The only thing was, she was a background character without even a name, so none of it had anything to do with her. Yun Zhuoqing: Oh, then no problem. She wrote her name on the transfer application without a care. In everyone's eyes, Yun Zhuoqing was quiet and ordinary, someone almost nobody would notice. The school bully fought a gang of thugs for the special-admission student beside her. The aloof, breathtakingly handsome senior played the piano for the girl he loved, his gentle gaze lingering on the blushing girl beside Yun Zhuoqing. The richest man's nephew was kidnapped, and the kidnappers didn't even want to look at Yun Zhuoqing by the roadside. In short, Yun Zhuoqing always thought she was a successful background character. Until one day, she walked out of the school gates again with her transfer application, only to find the road outside completely blocked by all kinds of luxury cars. The protagonists smiled at her. "Qingqing, where are you going?" - At first, everyone thought the new transfer student was completely ordinary and not worth paying attention to. Later, they realized she was like the missing half of themselves. Even with their ugly, impoverished, fearful, and twisted inner selves, they were a perfect match for her. What made them even more uneasy was that each of them thought they alone had discovered this one-of-a-kind treasure. So they pretended to look down on her, holding themselves in check in public and not daring to act recklessly around her in private either. Until she suddenly left. In their panic, they forgot to hide how they felt and rushed to stop her, only to run into a group of people just as frantic and heedless as themselves, all trying to stop the very same person. They were the same people who usually claimed to look down on her, the dogs. Yun Zhuoqing: A good dog doesn't block the road. Note: 1. The heroine is a Mary Sue adored by everyone, but she's neither saintly nor perfect. 2. The heroine is straighter than a steel bar and unbelievably oblivious. She won't develop a romance with anyone. Everyone has a one-sided crush. Theme: Believe in your own potential.
