When Hua Li was still inside her eggshell, she often wondered what kind of creature she would be.
A mighty dragon who ruled the skies? A wise old tortoise with a long lifespan? A graceful Azure Bird?
At last, after waiting and waiting for so many years, she finally hatched.
All the birds of Queqi Mountain came to watch. Hua Li puffed herself up proudly. With such a grand audience, she had to be someone extraordinary. She gathered her strength and let out three loud cries: "Honk, honk, honk!"
Honk, honk, honk???
Had she turned into a giant white goose?
So, had all these monsters come for a village feast of roast goose?
Hua Li couldn't take such a devastating blow and promptly fainted.
As she grew up, she discovered that her eight older brothers were all either thunderbirds or Qingluan. Out of the eleven members of her family, she was the only giant white goose!
Alas, she couldn't possibly be her parents' real child.
Fortunately, life on the mountain was carefree and happy, and she came to accept the fact that she was a giant white goose. So be it. Better to live a miserable life than not to live at all. That was, until the self-proclaimed greatest swordsmith in the world came to ask her for a phoenix feather.
Only then did she learn that her eight goofball brothers all had extraordinary skills, her short-tempered mother and fiercely protective father were both hidden powerhouses, and she... was the only phoenix in thirty thousand years!
Wait... something was wrong!
This setup seemed oddly familiar. Wasn't it just like an old novel she'd read who knew how long ago?
What a shock! Her whole family seemed to be villains!
And the biggest villain of all was her?
But I'm a good bird!

1. The little phoenix is only two hundred years old and still underage, so romance is off the table, but she's definitely going to cause trouble.
2. Although she transmigrates into a book, the main story follows the little phoenix. The original novel's hero and heroine won't appear until much, much later.
3. The outline for this idea was finalized on June 1, 2022, and a screenshot has been saved.
Coming soon: "To Go to School, I Became the World's Strongest [Infinite]". Please add it to your collection:
To pay her exorbitant medical bills and tuition, Ling Sanqi rushed from job to job. After working herself to the bone, she finally scraped together the tuition on the day before school started. At that very moment, the ground beneath her feet suddenly shook violently.
Outside the window, the fog was thick, so thick it swallowed up all the city lights.
Among the ruins left by the earthquake, the silhouettes of giant beasts flickered in and out of view. The world had changed.
A System panel appeared before Ling Sanqi: [Welcome to the apocalypse.]
*
Scratching her head, Ling Sanqi made a haphazard assessment: "What a pain. Guess I can't go to school now."
The System coaxed her: [The Host's maximum lifespan is nineteen years. Completing missions can eliminate your exorbitant medical expenses and extend your lifespan. You can also get revenge.]
There was an offer like that? Ling Sanqi's expression finally changed. "...Go on."
And so, she faced bizarre weather, abandoned laboratories, mysterious castles, mutated plants and animals, beauty contests with female ghosts, twisted exam halls... Each one led to the apocalypse.
A monster with eyeballs scattered all over the ground opened its mouth to eat her.
Ling Sanqi picked up the eyeballs with a look of disgust. "Littering. Do you have no manners?"
A sharp scalpel was about to slice open her stomach.
Ling Sanqi kindly warned it, "You may know your way around human experiments, but that knife won't do. I'm tough-skinned. I'll bet the blade breaks first." Sure enough, the scalpel broke as soon as she finished speaking.
A gloomy, handsome boy wanted to date her.
Ling Sanqi, now a vampire duchess, reflected on the matter and said, "Don't be like that. To me, you're just a crispy golden chicken drumstick! There can be no future between a diner and their food!"
The System was speechless: [Could you do something that matches your appearance for once?]
Ling Sanqi clutched her chest like the tragic heroine of a painting. "I'm so scared... Just kidding!"
The System: [...]
After traveling through countless worlds, she finally returned to the starting world. The System was confused: [Are you back for revenge? By the way, do you know that in this world, you're the male lead's doomed first love?]
"???" Ling Sanqi rubbed her chin. "I had no idea. But... what do the male and female leads have to do with me being the world's strongest?"
The System: [Then why did you come back?]
"To go to school!" Ling Sanqi burst into tears. "Who could've known that I'd become the world's strongest just to go to school?"
