The Tool-Character Heroine Has Given Up

When Bai Wu transmigrated into a book, she immediately realized that she had become the heroine of a power-fantasy novel, a woman named Bai Wu just like her.

As the heroine, Bai Wu was bound to be gentle, beautiful, talented, and well-born. But to keep up with the absurdly overpowered male lead, she cultivated herself to the point of ruining her health. Her disciples scattered, and later her personality twisted into something obsessive and extreme. She tried to kill the male lead's beloved, only to be captured by the villain Ning Yuanzhou and tortured to death.

Meanwhile, the male lead, Yi Chongshan, relied on her family, her father, and his cheat-like advantages to reach the pinnacle of life and marry eighteen wives.

Bai Wu: …

Why bother being the heroine? I'll just slack off!

Under the expectant gaze of the male lead, Yi Chongshan, at the crucial moment when she was supposed to introduce him to her father, Bai Wu quietly stuffed a pile of cultivation treasures from the table into her own pockets. Then she said to her father, "Dad, this is a new underling of mine. His aptitude is decent, but he's a bit arrogant. Send him to the outer sect to get some experience for a hundred years or so!"

Yi Chongshan: ???

What happened to all that sweet talk yesterday? Weren't you going to help me ascend?

A woman's words are lies from the devil.

As the daughter of the head of the foremost immortal sect, Bai Wu governs a peak. She is the most talented cultivator the sect has seen in a century, and countless people envy her.

Ever since she started slacking off, she has spent her days on her mountain peak drinking tea, watching the show, munching on sunflower seeds, and basking in the sun. Life couldn't be more comfortable.

A disciple rushed in to report, "Master, the peak lord next door says you don't deserve your position!"

Bai Wu: "He's absolutely right."

She even skipped the regular meeting, putting on a demonstration of exactly what it meant to be unworthy of one's position.

Disciple: "Outer-sect disciple Yi Chongshan says you used him and then dumped him, and that you're deliberately suppressing him!"

Bai Wu: "Huh? He dares badmouth me? Cut his monthly allowance in half again."

Disciple: "Master, what about your lessons...?"

Bai Wu tossed down a book titled Cultivation for Beginners: From Starting Out to Being Buried. "Teach yourselves."

Disciple: "..."

Ning Yuanzhou had been in love with Bai Wu for years. He could only watch her secretly and love her quietly, too afraid to confess because of the gap between their stations.

All he could do was watch her fall in love with someone else, unable to help her overcome the tribulation of love written into her fate.

At her tearful pleas, Ning Yuanzhou ended her suffering with his own hands.

His heart died with her.

After failing to ascend, he returned to his youth.

As he endured the pain of the lightning tribulation, his mind was filled with Bai Wu. If only he had become strong sooner, realized the truth sooner, saved her sooner...

Everything began again.

Ning Yuanzhou suddenly understood.

At the initiation ceremony, Bai Wu walked up to him while Yi Chongshan stared in disbelief.

"Would you be my disciple?"

Ning Yuanzhou knelt at her feet. The heavens seemed to open before him, and at last everything had meaning.

Message: Meet the unchanging with an unchanging heart.
