Chu Ying transmigrated into a book.
She was a cannon-fodder female character in a certain cultivation novel, with no talent for cultivation whatsoever. In the end, despite possessing countless treasures, she had no way to protect herself and met a miserable end, murdered for her possessions.
Fortunately, Chu Ying discovered that she could cultivate by absorbing other people's emotions. The stronger their emotional reactions, the faster she could cultivate.
Formerly famous author, also known as the Queen of Abandoned Stories, Chu Ying: Oh, I'm good at this!
Before long, an author using the secret identity "Start a Story, Then Vanish" appeared out of nowhere.
At the time, the cultivation world was obsessed with reunion-after-a-breakup stories. The heroine would suffer emotional and physical abuse at the hands of the hero because of a misunderstanding, endure countless hardships, and finally learn the truth and live happily ever after with him.
But in her novel, The Tyrannical Immortal Venerable's Substitute Bride, the heroine was indeed framed, and the cold-hearted hero was about to begin abusing his wife...
Then the heroine turned around and chopped off his head.
Readers: ???
The unconventional The Tyrannical Immortal Venerable's Substitute Bride became an overnight sensation. The entire cultivation world eagerly followed each new chapter, desperate to know how the story would end
Then one day, the author suddenly stopped updating.
The cultivation world was in an uproar.
Heaven's favored prodigies and reclusive powerhouses all came out of seclusion, swearing to unmask the author's secret identity and hunt her down across a thousand miles.
Unless she showed them her drafts folder :)
Meanwhile, Chu Ying stared pensively at the mountain peak she had just severed with a single sword strike.
Hmm... I still need a little more cultivation.
To get more attention, maybe I'll try adapting it for the screen next :)
