[Blurb]
Nan Ya, a modern-day college student, has dreamed since childhood of becoming a bold, impressive woman, six feet tall and able to stand head and shoulders above everyone else. Unfortunately, she was born with a petite frame and a delicate, pretty face, making her look just like a stunning little white flower.
Nobody believes that she can eat three big steamed buns in one sitting and is built like a tank.
Nan Ya has always regretted having nowhere to put her many skills to use. That is, until she sets foot on the first stair.
It's a tower whose top can't be seen.
Only then does Nan Ya realize that the world she knew is merely one floor of the tower.
Each floor is a world. The worlds are vast and varied, and no one knows how many there are.
It's a tower with no way down.
Once you take the first step, there's no turning back. You either fight your way up or die.
They say that whoever reaches the top of the tower can become an all-powerful god. So people from different worlds charge upward, heads down. Some die on the way, while others climb over a trail of blood.
Nan Ya perks up, eager to give it a try. "My fortune-telling says I can probably do this!"
People driven nearly mad by the tower gather around her. Some see her as weak and plot to kill her when they get the chance; others are drawn to her and want to possess her.
In the lost mountain buried beneath endless snow, the wind cuts to the bone. A beautiful, delicate male lover weeps bitterly. "You know, I never really loved her. Ever since I met you, every minute by her side has been agony."
He wraps his arms around Nan Ya, but the knife in his hand is poised to stab her in the back. The next moment, a chill pierces his heart.
Nan Ya silently puts away her knife. "Ever since I was little, my mother taught me that women who feel sorry for men never end up well. I think she was right."
The god sits high above, gazing down at all creation.
His gaze is detached, yet expectant, as he watches her ride the winds and waves until at last she reaches the top of the tower and enters the divine palace.
He smiles, both cruel and gentle. "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Nan Ya says nothing. She draws her blade and cuts through the water, killing him with one strike.
She looks fondly at the throne now without its master, sits down without hesitation, and whispers to the dead god, "If I were a little white flower, I'd bloom on your grave."
[Reading Guide]
1. Slow burn, not a power fantasy. The heroine grows over the course of the story.
2. The story is plot-driven, with a focus on the different world instances. The male lead is practically nonexistent, and there's very little romance. A supporting male character has a one-sided crush on the heroine.
Upcoming fantasy novel: My Junior Sister Says She's the Female Lead
Blurb:
Xue Lingzhi is reborn as the heroine of a cultivation novel. As the junior sister, she is adored by the whole sect.
But before she can enjoy the good life for more than a few days, her master brings home another junior sister.
*
On her first day in the sect, the new junior sister finds Xue Lingzhi.
The junior sister smiles. "Senior Sister, I'm the female lead. Please return everything that belongs to me."
Xue Lingzhi: ?
The junior sister: "We're characters in the same book. I'm the female lead, and you're just a wicked supporting character. But you stole Master's and the senior brothers' affection, stole my fortune, and even stole the male lead who was meant for me. Now I've been reborn, so give it all back."
Xue Lingzhi: ??
She scratches her head, bewildered. She has no idea what the girl is talking about.
Fine, then. She can be the supporting character.
Not long afterward, Master brings home another junior sister.
The new junior sister smiles. "Senior Sister, I'm the supporting character in this book. The female lead stole my fortune and bullied and humiliated me. I've been reborn to take revenge and reclaim everything, so please step aside."
Xue Lingzhi: "Then who am I?"
Never mind. She decides to be a bystander who minds her own business, and to survive until the very end while caught between the reborn female lead and the supporting character.
*
Not long after she makes that resolution, the male lead appears.
He's an odd one, insisting that Xue Lingzhi loves him, loves him so much she's completely lost her mind.
The handsome young man is naive and innocent, yet wicked; powerful and strange, and constantly doing things that make people furious.
He joins the sect and officially becomes her junior brother, calling her "Senior Sister" every other word.
"Senior Sister, can I steal this chicken?"
"Senior Sister, can I kill this person?"
"Senior Sister, can I destroy this sect?"
"Senior Sister, can I switch to demonic cultivation?"
Every day, he cheerfully gives off the vibe of "Senior Sister, I'm back from causing trouble again."
Once, he pushes Xue Lingzhi too far, and she decides she won't speak to him for the rest of her life.
That night, Xue Lingzhi lifts her blanket and finds a naked, beautiful young man.
The young man flashes two little tiger fangs, smiling obediently as he turns over to reveal strings running through his whole body.
He puts several ends of the strings into Xue Lingzhi's hands.
The young man: "Senior Sister, I've turned myself into a puppet controlled by strings. From now on, you can control everything I do. Don't ignore me anymore, okay?"
Xue Lingzhi: !?
Xue Lingzhi realizes her junior brother might be a complete psycho!
So she runs, he chases, and she can't escape.
The young man: "If you run again, I'll tie you to my belt. If you hide, I'll turn the whole world upside down to find you. If you dare to like someone else, I'll kill everyone in the world so there'll be no one left for you to like."
Xue Lingzhi: !!!
Everyone in the world: What did we ever do to you?
Just then, the junior sister and the new junior sister arrive, riding the wind with unstoppable momentum. They toss Xue Lingzhi a sword manual. "Train!"
Xue Lingzhi tremulously opens the book:
With no man in your heart, draw your sword and become a god. The first move of the sword manual: kill the one you love!
Xue Lingzhi thinks: It's over, it's over. I don't think I'll be alive much longer! QAQ
A beautiful psycho of a young man who wins himself over to love × a laid-back heroine just trying to survive, caught in a miserable mess.
At its heart, this is a story about a deeply unlucky senior sister.
[Reading Guide]
1. A plot-driven comedy told with a straight face.
2. The potential content warning I can think of right now: the junior sister and the new junior sister have special identities, so they have a lot of screen time and might get as much as the male lead.
Theme: As a woman, desire nothing and you will be unbreakable.
It feels like the deaths of Fushan and Xiaoman are endless. It would be great if we could see the extra story o(^_^)oWhat did Lilith think in the end? Also, is there intelligent life in the world created by the New God? If the previous world was created and developed by every god, then how did the people living in it come from? Are these human lives also created by the New God?
After reading it, what should I say? Compared with many bloody novels, it is not bad, but I feel that the article is not rich enough, especially the handling of clouds at the end is a bit sloppy. The master's character is also very thin. I think it would be better to describe it more? There are still many foreshadowings. I hope the author can write better articles in the new year, and good luck in the Year of the Rabbit!
There is a feeling that there are still several floors but the ending is sudden, but when I think about it, it is clear that Fushan and the others died so suddenly.
[Put one in advance] "I became famous after appearing on a variety show to revive childhood games" Fantasy and reality, sand sculpture to Write down the childhood games in your memory. Interested little angels can save them~
Did Fushan brainwash himself to make Lily try to disappear?
I actually think Xiaoling is more like the white flower on the grave
Damn, my Xiaoman is gone too?
Is this the end?? I feel like a lot of things were not explained clearly.
Although I think there is a high probability that Nan Ya will not fall in love with Fushan, but I am still afraid that she will feel compassion for her.
Is it a clockwork doll? Is the clockwork doll Rui Rui's mother?
