Chi Nan Heng has transmigrated, and not just once.
The first time, she transmigrated into a game. To return to her original world, she worked hard to level up and became a god-tier NPC.
The second time, she became a little snake with no parents. No one to look after her? Fine. At least she was free, and she could cultivate.
But then she found that her cultivation was stuck at Foundation Establishment, with no way to advance. She could only fend for herself and try to find some rare treasures to eat.
While searching for medicinal herbs, she suddenly remembered that she'd transmigrated into a cultivation novel.
She'd also become the villainess, constantly trying to get the male lead's attention in front of his white-moonlight love, and repeatedly throwing obstacles in the way of their romance.
Whenever the leads' relationship hit a rough patch and needed a push, the villainess became a brick: wherever she was needed, there she went. She was the perfect tool (crossed out) brick.
Chi Nan Heng: Thanks for asking, but I'm not particularly interested in your love affairs.
The traditional opening would be: The villainess mocks the heroine, the male lead happens to pass by and puts her in her place, and the villainess likes the heroine even less from then on.
Chi Nan Heng's opening: The heroine falls from the sky and lands in the villainess's arms.
Chi Nan Heng: Did I get the male lead's script by mistake? We have no past grudge. Don't come near me!
This world is full of love and romantic entanglements.
But in another world, she had seen countless grand spectacles and all kinds of stories.
So in this world, all Chi Nan Heng wants is to follow her heart and walk her own path with a sword in hand.
[Important] For personal reasons, this story won't be included in any rankings, so it will get very little exposure. If you find it, it's fate (and if you like it, that's even more fateful). So this story will probably have a hard time meeting the requirements for paid serialization. Starting from Chapter 14, I'm going to let loose, so read with caution. Quitting would probably be the best choice, but I've still decided to write it. I love every character I've created equally.
1. This is my take on cultivation, so if you ask, it's all original worldbuilding. None of the characters share the author's values, so don't read too much into it.
2. The male lead hasn't been decided yet, but I don't recommend placing bets.
3. The game System is based on Final Fantasy XIV. You can still enjoy the story even if you haven't played it.
4. She won't be max level from the start. I'm an inexperienced writer, so please forgive any shortcomings.
5. I'll add more if I think of anything else.
