Lu Yun spent eighteen years coasting through life before discovering she had transmigrated into a cultivation novel aimed at male readers. The protagonist is Lou Xiao, the sect's second senior brother. Without the eldest senior brother's lucky streak or the youngest disciple's powerful family background, he can only forge himself into a sharp sword and fight his way to the top. Then an accident earns him a God-Tier System. From that moment on, the wind is at his back, carrying him toward the clouds.
When Lu Yun transmigrated into the book, only half of it had been serialized. The heroine, still no more than a background character, had yet to be confirmed, though the clues suggested she would be one of two people: either the sect master's daughter or her. Judging by the details scattered throughout the story, this cute, girl-next-door type would only be the heroine of the male lead's first youthful crush before dying in the battle to become a god while protecting him.
Lu Yun was speechless and raised her middle finger to the heavens.
She picked up her blade and headed for the training grounds. What could be better than leveling up? She would leave everyone in the dust and wreck this messed-up fate.

As a cultivation power fantasy that starts low and ends high, the protagonist has to be put through the wringer early on to make her later comeback satisfying. Lu Yun was still in a foul mood over having transmigrated into a book when she went out for some air and saw Lou Xiao, his spiritual power sealed, drowning in the water.
Should she save him or not?
As Lou Xiao sank toward the bottom of the lake, framed by his enemies, a white mote of light slipped into his chest. It was the God-Tier System, the prize countless people would covet and fight over.
God-Tier System: Ahem, from now on, we're partners.
The surroundings were silent. It was completely ignored, and just as it was about to speak again...
[Quiet.]
The soaked young man lay on the shore, doing his best to gaze at the cloud drifting away, surrounded by blossoms like a ball of pink silk.
P.S. This is a leveling-up story with a heavy romance plot.
