My completed novel, The Substitute Female Supporting Character Chooses to Go Mad, is available in my column. Feel free to check it out.
A note up front: This is self-indulgent writing for my own enjoyment. I didn't handle the groveling arc well, so enter with caution.
Blurb:
1. Yingning was a sword, a divine sword coveted by all from the moment she was born.
For the several centuries she spent as a sword spirit, though she had plans of her own, she always believed that she and her wielder were the perfect match.
Until she was snapped, thrown into a furnace, and used to repair another sword, a half-broken blade white all over.
As her soul was fading away, Yingning struggled to lift her head and caught a glimpse of the new sword spirit's pale, exquisite face. The girl looked listless, while the former wielder's eyes brimmed with irrepressible delight and sorrow.
At that moment, she was frighteningly calm. Suddenly, she remembered someone long ago, braving wind and snow to make her a promise.
2. A century later, after drifting through the mortal world, the broken sword was found by a boy.
The young boy was hardworking, but unfortunately lacked talent.
The sword spirit never learned her lesson and came up with another scheme. Using her ruined body, she told the boy:
"Your swordsmanship is decent, but you lack experience and emotional understanding. If you want to make progress, take me as your master. I can give you a heart-wrenching teacher-student bond to help you achieve greatness in the sword path."
The boy scrutinized the broken sword for a long while before finally saying, "All right."
Yingning put in even more effort than last time, raising him into someone every bit as formidable as her former wielder.
The moment she cultivated a human body again, Yingning felt her blood freeze inch by inch. After the boy ascended, his face had become indistinguishable from that of her former wielder.
The agony of being reforged in the furnace was etched into her bones. Amid the guide's shocked cries, the sword spirit raised her sword and plunged it inch by inch into the boy's chest.
In the end, she cast aside the sword body without hesitation. To sever their karmic ties, she leapt straight from the Ascension Platform.
She did not know that after she left, the young sword cultivator searched everywhere for her in vain and could never hold a sword again.
Important:
1. The male lead does not change. The former wielder and the disciple are the same person.
2. The heroine doesn't love the male lead at first. What she feels is a sword's trust in its wielder.
If this isn't your thing, please leave in time. I hope everyone finds a story they love!
---PREVIEW OF AN UPCOMING NOVEL---
The Succubus Has No Choice but to Have the Sword Venerable's Child
Couple: A charming, scummy succubus x an aloof sword venerable
Succubus Jian Qiao bears a great responsibility for the Abyss: she must find the strongest cultivator in a completely unfamiliar world and bear his child.
She quickly settles on a target: Xie Xilou, the current champion of the Central Continent and head of the Sword Sect.
With her species' innate abilities, Jian Qiao takes down the entire Sword Sect at the outset. Only one person holds out to the end.
The little succubus grips the young man's chin and eyes his snow-white collar, threatening, "Sect Master, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your sect, would you?"
But what greets her is a sword beam more beautiful than snowflakes.
Later, the succubus suppresses her demonic aura and disguises herself as a mortal woman, only to make the man fall for her. She succeeds in getting him pregnant.
As they're about to become cultivation partners, she sees "Xie Xilou" listed among the wedding invitation recipients.
Realizing something is wrong, Jian Qiao falls silent. "You're not Xie Xilou?"
The young man looks at her and reaches for her hand. "My name is Xie Changci."
Xie Changci?
The monster said to be able to cleave half the cultivation world with a single strike?
Jian Qiao immediately takes off her wedding robe. "Sorry, I have the wrong person. I'm looking for the number one cultivator in the Central Continent."
Called back to the Abyss midway through, the succubus can only fake her death.
With nothing but a rusty iron sword, the white-robed sword venerable challenges every major figure in the land, completely reshuffling the rankings on the Central Continent's Heaven Stele.
When she returns, she finds the young man caring for their child, expressionless as he pays respects at a grave in the mortal world. The small mound clearly bears the inscription: "The grave of my wife, Jian Qiao."
Jian Qiao, who suddenly comes back to life and is about to take the child away: ...

Let's just change the name to "A bloody article about abusing a woman". The more I read it, the more frustrated I feel. There are too many planes, it looks very confusing, and the timeline and world line are also messy. Next time the author can close the logic loop and improve his writing skills, he will write a story with such a grand world view.
I wish I could tell the world that I stole my ancestor, hahahahahaha
Chapter 88... Where is the crematorium... The main plot and the ambiguity... Is it my problem?
Love each other, don't insult love. If you truly love someone, would you deliberately abuse them because you think the other person doesn't love you enough? Do you think she has someone else in mind, so you are disgusting with her? What rod-making behavior
Ahhhhhhh, so annoying! Can the hero please go away? Who is the male lead? I have to look for someone to join him. If I find someone, I will not be satisfied. The female lead has no memory of the past. Why does the female lead still have to remember that you threw him into the furnace to refine her? You also blame the female lead for stabbing you. You have forgotten all the shit you did! Male protagonist, go away. The female protagonist can live a good life without you. What else can you do if you come here, except to move yourself and get jealous and bring unreasonable disaster to the female protagonist! You were able to live well in your previous life and this life because the heroine helped you. In the previous life, she treated you like a sword and practiced it for you. In the previous life, she was your master and took you to ascend. I found out that it was your bad boy who stabbed you. Yidao himself also jumped. In this life, you have to rely on the heroine to be born. He has not done many good things for the heroine. He pesters the heroine every day with his own selfish desires. His inner activities are still full of resentment against his husband. It seems as if no one is sorry for you. Can we change the male lead? There is no male lead who can't deal with people all his life. Or maybe he can just be a stand-in and find a stand-in who can't recognize the original lead.
? This man is so confusing
Okay, the scumbag is completely cool.
I beg the male protagonist and Yun Yu to stop disturbing the female protagonist's life in this life, and don't be as annoying as dog-skin plasters.
Damn it, when will a woman be happy? Didn't she say she would be at the crematorium at the end of the month? I want to see Bai Huan offline and the heroine start a sect!
Bai Huan and Mrs. Chu Han are disgusting. When will the heroine kill them?
