After Chu Yang, the greatest genius of her era, had her meridians destroyed and was falsely accused and expelled from her sect, she learned the truth: she was a cannon-fodder female supporting character in a no-romance, overpowered male-lead cultivation novel. She was destined to fall to darkness, become a demon, and cultivate evil arts by dual cultivating with the male lead. Her sect, meanwhile, was filled with righteous, saintly protagonists.
Chu Yang: I got up at three every morning and went to bed at five. In my fifteen years of life, I've only ever eaten fasting pills. Isn't it great to finally leave this oppressive, rotten sect and roam freely, far away from the protagonists?
But Chu Yang, who had long kept out of the world, was deceived and ended up in a villain's sect. She also became bound to the person who tricked her by a Fate-Changing System.
Out of one pit and straight into another.
Chu Yang: Look at me. I'm not crying.
Her senior brothers and sisters were future villains destined to fall to darkness and destroy the world. Every one of them had once been knocked flying by Chu Yang's sword at a tournament. They trained themselves to the bone every day, determined to get revenge on her.
Having lost all her cultivation, Chu Yang nervously went undercover in the sect as its junior sister. Her daily mission was to stop them from falling to darkness.
She secretly coached her senior brothers and sisters in swordsmanship, helping them shine at the tournament and beat the people from her former sect to a pulp.
When someone tried to target her villainous senior brothers and sisters, she secretly dealt with them too.
Every day, Chu Yang showered them with warmth, healing their past traumas and stopping them from becoming villains.
Senior brothers and sisters, moved: "Junior Sister, you understand me so well, and you're so good to me."
Chu Yang: "...It's nothing."
I understand you because you used to be my defeated opponents, and the most thoroughly beaten ones at that.
One day, her identity was unfortunately exposed. Thinking she was done for, Chu Yang prepared to make a quick getaway.
Her former sect regretted everything and wanted to forcibly take her back.
But her villainous senior brothers and sisters stood in their way, swords in hand, speaking ominously:
"Our junior sister belongs to us now."

Chu Yang had always known that Ji Yunjian, the Child of Heaven who had tricked her and bound her to a Fate-Changing System, was a little strange.
Armed with a prophetic golden finger, this overpowered male lead took her roaming all over the world, including but not limited to provoking the Demon Lord, killing the Demon King, and turning the entire righteous cultivation world upside down.
Chu Yang earnestly advised him: "Bro, you're the Child of Heaven. Why are you trying so hard to get yourself killed? Isn't it better to just coast to victory?"
The overpowered male lead gave her a long look. "You didn't say that when you were straddling me and telling me to destroy the world."
Chu Yang: "I didn't! I never said that! Don't make things up!"
