Not a Stand-In, but the Reborn White Moonlight of the Entire Cultivation World

[Blurb posted on 2022.07.18. I will rewrite it carefully before starting the novel.]

"That day, the entire cultivation world celebrated the same happy occasion.

The demonic god who had fallen into depravity in the Ninth Heaven was finally dead. The various sects had joined forces to drive her from the God-Slaying Platform, destroying her soul and leaving not a trace of her remains."

In a little teahouse at the foot of Mount Taixu, the storyteller sighed.

He tapped his folding fan against his palm and carefully studied the pale, frail young woman before him, clicking his tongue in wonder.

"Come to think of it, you really do look like that god. You could have been made from the very same mold."

The young woman smiled vacantly, like a flower glimpsed through mist. "Not at all. You must be mistaken."

"How could a dead woman who was lucky enough to get her body back be compared to a god?"

.

After the god was corrupted and killed, the various factions schemed against one another, each hoping to take her place as the former guardian of the Heavenly Dao.

It was only after Mei Qianning died that she understood she had made two mistakes.

First, she thought that boundless magical power meant she could trust people without question.

So the disciple she had taken in plotted against her, the demon emperor she had befriended poisoned her, and the sword sovereign she had regarded as a confidant joined everyone else in forcing her from the God-Slaying Platform.

Second, she was an immortal who had let herself fall in love with a mortal. She had fallen for her eldest disciple, who cultivated the heartless path.

Only at the end did she learn that he had long been conspiring with someone else to get rid of her, the obstacle who wielded the Heavenly Seal.

The ancient goddess who had protected the Six Realms ultimately saw her Dao collapse and her divine seal shatter, only to be cursed by everyone as deserving of her fate.

Reborn, she had no wish to repeat the same mistakes. She only wanted to live an ordinary, unremarkable life until she died.

But she wanted to take it easy. The others didn't agree

In the former divine palace, the aloof emperor above looked down from afar and ordered her to raise her head.

The instant he saw her face, he froze in shock, then burst into tears. "Master..."

At the grand ceremony in the demon realm, the bewitching demon emperor glanced over languidly, tipping the wine in his hand.

He seized the hem of her skirt, nearly frantic. "Qianning, I've suffered so much waiting for you!"

At the summit of Sword Sovereign Peak, the arrogant cultivator in blue gripped his sword so tightly that blood seeped from the web between his thumb and forefinger.

"Another dream." He looked at her, covered his eyes with his palm, and murmured bitterly.

Mei Qianning: ?

Mei Qianning: You were the ones who killed me. Why are you all more heartbroken than the last?

To get to the bottom of it, she decided to play along, agreeing to let someone with an ulterior motive impersonate her past self and stir up conflict among several top experts.

.

The newly enthroned ruler of the demon realm was a fallen immortal, capricious and cruel.

Mei Qianning heard that he had served under the god and, after her death, personally scoured the world to collect her remains.

At first, she had no impression of him. Then the demon cultivator who had picked her up introduced her to the Demon Lord, claiming she was an indispensable part of a revenge plot.

She looked up at the refined young man sitting quietly beside the pool. He did not turn around, but his profile looked strangely familiar.

Only then did she remember an immortal attendant from the divine palace who had kept watch beneath her window for millions of years. He had never been absent from her side from the day she was born until the day she fell, except once.

That one time was the day she fell from the God-Slaying Platform, and the day he fell from immortality and became a demon.

[Easygoing, blunt female god reborn x obsessive, loyal fallen immortal turned Demon Lord]

#The male lead is the Demon Lord. Everyone else gets their own groveling redemption arc.

#The blurb is serious in tone, but the main story is goofy and funny.

#In her previous life, the heroine was a powerful, gorgeous, and adored god. Reborn, she's a slacker who wins effortlessly all the way back to the top. No angst in this life, just satisfying victories.

Theme: Return kindness with kindness, and repay injustice with justice.
