Reborn with My Entire Sect as My Enemies

Upcoming no-romance male-lead novel: The Wandering Road of Keshan (also known as After Leaving the Mountain, I Made a Name for Myself)

Short Blurb:

[This is a world governed by fate, from its birth to its destruction.

There is one person at its center, the absolute protagonist. Everyone exists because of her and lives for her.]

At the moment Chang Qing learned the truth, she understood only one thing:

The vast world had nothing to do with her, and everyone in her sect was a stranger.

Her stern, just master, her gentle, considerate mistress, her aloof but warmhearted senior brother, and her lively, cheerful junior brother: everyone in the sect was an obstacle in her way.

And she herself was a stepping stone for her junior sister.

Given another life, this time she only wanted to live for herself.

Full Blurb:

Chang Qing was an unremarkable female cultivator in the Chuanyun Sect, a disciple no one noticed. She was orphaned at three, lost her voice at five, had her meridians severed at eight, and was disfigured at ten. But she thought she was simply unlucky, and that no one was to blame. To her, living an ordinary life was already a blessing.

Her junior sister, who was the same age as her, was lively and adorable, gifted beyond measure, and treasured by everyone in the sect. She was also the only one who would say in front of everyone, "Chang Qing is my senior sister, and my friend."

Though Chang Qing liked to keep to herself, she didn't resist her junior sister's closeness. She had always been good at going with the flow.

Until the sect's disciple tournament, when demonic cultivators slaughtered their way through the grounds and blood stained the Ascension Platform. Her senior brother accused her of colluding with the demonic cultivators and betraying the righteous path. Her master glared at her and expelled her from the sect on the spot, while her junior sister, who was closest to the current leader of the demonic cultivators, wept and asked her, "The sect treated you well. Why would you do such a thing?"

"You were the one who told him everything," Chang Qing said, and nothing more.

In the end, she and her junior sister were both locked in prison.

But she never expected the demonic cultivator to be cruel and capricious, yet such a hopeless romantic.

He set a trap for her, and she had no choice but to fall into it. Thus her guilt was confirmed, and her junior sister's innocence was cleared.

In the demonic cultivators' territory, she suffered endless humiliation and wished she were dead. When that wretched sight happened to catch the demonic cultivator's eye, he laughed and said, "You dared to envy Ruan Lin. This is what you deserve."

Chang Qing closed her one remaining eye and clung to her last breath. Suddenly, she remembered the cultivator who had brought her into the sect. He had once said, "What you have and what you lack are all decided by fate. Don't force things, and don't fight against it."

But was all the suffering she endured now also ordained by fate?

She refused to accept it.

As her core shattered, Chang Qing broke free of fate's chains. Looking back on her short life, she finally realized that she hadn't taken a wrong turn.

All her suffering had been destined.

The Heavenly Dao does not love all living things. It loves only one person.

Reader Notes:

1. This novel has no romance and focuses on the female lead, though there may be a tiny bit of one-sided affection.

2. This is not a power fantasy. The early story is slow-paced, with a focus on growth. The female lead has no small, personal love, only great love for all.

3. The cultivation levels in this novel are: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Severing, Deity Transformation, Body Integration, Tribulation Transcendence, and Mahayana.

4. The cultivation and other settings in the story may not be entirely rigorous. Please forgive any shortcomings.

Upcoming novel: The Wandering Road of Keshan:

Xue Huanchuan had cultivated in the deep mountains since childhood, for nearly five hundred years. Only after his master passed away did he finally leave the mountain.

To find his family.

"Huanchuan, your mother is the Mistress of Keshan. Go to Keshan and find her."

With his master's letter in hand, he came down from the mountain.

The many faces of the mortal world and the myriad aspects of the cultivation world were all far too complicated for him.

As Xue Huanchuan traveled the world and searched for his mother, the complexity of the outside world left him reeling, but he enjoyed every minute of it.

After a long time had passed, he had searched everywhere but still couldn't find Keshan. At last, he opened the letter.

It contained only a few short lines.

But they were not addressed to the Mistress of Keshan. They were written to him.

By then, the sealing formation had collapsed, and the demon had returned to the mortal world. In midair, he stood before the gathered crowd, facing the demon from afar.

Behind his opponent stood a blood altar a hundred zhang tall and thousands of demonic cultivators. Behind him lay a world in chaos and all its countless people.

"You were supposed to stand on this side," the demon said.

Xue Huanchuan chuckled softly, his plain white robes snapping in the foul wind.

"I stand with those who suffer for no reason."

[This is the story of a five-hundred-year-old mountain boy going out to see the world, and of a "little tadpole looking for his mother (?)".]

Reader Note: The male lead is powerful from the start. The tone is partly lighthearted and partly serious.

Theme: Love yourself and be yourself.
