After Chu Qingci, the senior sister of the Sword Sect, slew a spirit beast, she fell into an illusion.
In the illusion, she was framed by a newly arrived junior sister, alienated from her fellow disciples and at odds with her master, until a Heavenly Sword pierced her body and shattered her bones, leaving her to die a miserable death.
When she awoke from the illusion, her master really had brought home a beautiful junior sister, whose every step seemed to leave a scent of tea in the air.
What was more, Chu Qingci often heard a strange voice echoing around her junior sister:
"System notification..."
Thanks to this so-called "System," Chu Qingci's life in the Sword Sect became a struggle, with obstacles at every turn.
With all hope gone, she decisively bid farewell to the Sword Sect, happily packed her things, and headed to the outer sect.
If I can't afford to offend them, surely I can at least stay away?

The inner and outer sects of the Fuxi Sect are a hundred li apart. To inner sect disciples, the world of the outer sect is beyond imagining.
The rumor goes that the outer sect disciples have no spiritual roots at all, and are kept on the mountain to do odd jobs.
On her first day in the outer sect, Chu Qingci learned firsthand that rumors can't be trusted.
The senior brother, whose spear flashed like a dragon, had relied on body cultivation to break through to the Core Formation stage.
The junior sister, who wouldn't heal the living, had erased Chu Qingci's name from the Book of Life and Death.
The senior sister, who could turn stones into spirit stones, raised spirit beasts all over the mountains and let them roam wherever they pleased.
Her master looked the least reliable of all. He made her practice knife skills while holding a silver spear, then sighed helplessly at Chu Qingci. "My apprentice, your knife skills just aren't good enough. At this rate, you won't reach the Nascent Soul stage in three years."
A proper cultivator often needs decades, or even centuries, to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
Holding her silver spear as she chopped vegetables, Chu Qingci pondered silently:
Had she somehow stumbled into an accelerated cultivation program?

The next time she saw her junior sister was at the Cultivation World's Demon-Slaying Assembly.
Her junior sister had gone mad from cultivation, and the strange System was still at her side. But it had clearly lost the ability to help her turn the tide.
Chu Qingci rested her silver spear against her junior sister's neck. The latter cried out at her:
"Why are you the one who survives in the end? I'm the heroine, and you're just a supporting character! They're supposed to love me!!!"
Chu Qingci blinked in confusion, then lowered her spear. "I don't understand what you're talking about. I'm just a cook."
As for the person she loved, one was enough.
P.S. 1. Contains quick transmigration elements. The heroine is a supporting character in the original book, while the transmigrator is the original heroine.
2. Contains a major groveling-after-the-breakup element (he doesn't win her back; the heroine blows up her fish pond).
3. This is not a food novel (the heroine has no sense of taste and can't cook).
4. I'm a new writer with terrible prose and a few screws loose. Just read it for fun w
Theme: Break the shackles of life
