Yu Ling Banshan wakes up from a nap and discovers she's transmigrated into a book, becoming the famous Seventh Prince of the Ying Dynasty. Wait, I'm a woman! She looks down and, thankfully, finds nothing that shouldn't be there. But she still wants to curse... What kind of Seventh Prince of the Ying Dynasty is this? She's just a cannon-fodder character who dies horribly and is abandoned by everyone. Famous? Her head gets hung on the highest mountain on the continent. That's certainly one way to become famous.
To hell with this damn fate.
From then on, to keep the male lead from cutting off her head, Yu Ling Banshan fights to survive every day in this bizarre world. She encounters beast taming, corpse driving, witchcraft, cultivating immortality, cultivating the Way, cultivating Buddhism, and cultivating the heart, along with all kinds of people, demons, immortals, ghosts, and devils... Years later, Yu Ling Banshan stands atop the clouds, looking down on the mortal world and staring blankly at her number-one underling. Is this guy really the protagonist?
The great river flows east, washing away the heroes of ages past. And I was one of them?!
"Big brother, help! The enemy has captured Master!"
"Big brother, help! Master's at death's door!"
"Big brother, help! Master got poisoned by the food you made!"
"That food wasn't made by me!"
Looking at the man before her, whose manner is serene and whose appearance is as refined as jade, Yu Ling Banshan feels relieved. A gentle man like him surely won't cut off my head.
"You're a woman!"
"I've been calling you big brother all this time!"
"You've been lying to me this whole time!"
"Male lead, just hear me out!"
Turns out this man can go dark. The original book never said that! What a miserable fate I've got!
A roguish, carefree heroine x a straight man with two faces
