How to Survive Under the Substitute Sword Venerable

Fu Yu transmigrates and becomes a widow in a small border town. She runs a little shop and takes up her old trade as a cook. Her skills bring her a fortune, and she's just about to open branches in the surrounding area when she has an incredibly vivid dream. In the dream, she's the daughter of the leader of the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance and becomes the cultivation partner of Sword Reverence Qingxiao. Although the Sword Reverence is busy saving the world every day and hardly ever sees her, his protection gives her access to the best cultivation resources in the cultivation world, where strength is everything. Her cultivation advances by leaps and bounds, and she lives in comfort and splendor. That peaceful life takes a sudden turn a hundred years later. While strengthening the Demon Venerable's seal, Sword Reverence Qingxiao accidentally enters an illusion and injures his soul. He is carried back unconscious and unable to wake. As soon as the Demon Venerable breaks free of the seal, he rushes to abduct her. Or, more precisely, she goes with him of her own accord. Anyone who has seen Sword Reverence Qingxiao and the Demon Venerable would notice that they look about seventy percent alike. In her eyes, Sword Reverence Qingxiao is just a substitute for the Demon Venerable! She even caused the Sword Reverence to enter that illusion in the first place! What a ruthless wolf in human form! What Sword Reverence Qingxiao saw in the illusion was the past he shared with his cultivation partner and the Demon Venerable: they had loved each other deeply, but their love was forbidden by the world. After he wakes, his cultivation surges. With one strike, he cleaves through the boundary between worlds and cuts down the adulterous couple. And he doesn't even let them share a grave. One is burned to ash, the other crushed to mud… How awful. But they deserved it. When Fu Yu wakes up, even she thinks the version of herself in that bizarre dream was a terrible person. But when she thinks of the grisly end of being crushed into mud… She relates to it too much and is already starting to panic. Still, it was only a dream. She must have been reading too many novels to dream up something so absurd. Immortals don't exist in this world! Fu Yu wipes away her sweat and opens the door, only to see a violet light descending from the sky. An immortal in snow-white robes shimmering with rosy light stands outside. With white hair and a jade-like face, he looks exactly like Sword Reverence Qingxiao in her dream, after he killed the adulterous couple and turned white-haired overnight. The Sword Reverence holds the Boundless Sword and turns to her, his voice icy. "You thought I wouldn't be able to find you if you hid in the mortal world?" Fu Yu: ...My nightmare came true! Maybe I should just go back to sleep ;_; *Cover art of the couple used with permission from Madam Qishier Yin. The novel began on February 13. Updates daily at 6 a.m. I'll take a day off when needed. VIP notice: It goes VIP tomorrow, March 5! Just so you know, everyone -3- Check out my new novel preorder, After Transmigrating into a Book, I Died of Depression Because There Was No Phone. Blurb: Xiangxiang transmigrates into a book. It's awful. Being a mortal in a dangerous cultivation world is bad enough, but there's no flushing toilet, and worst of all, no phone! On top of that, she has to help the hero and heroine's tortured romance along by doing terrible things, or she'll die. Xiangxiang steels herself and keeps at it for a while. She defiles the male lead, Beiting Xue, pushes the heroine off a cliff into a demon's tomb, and thoroughly offends every male and female supporting character. Late one silent night, Xiangxiang comes out of the male lead's room with trembling legs. She can't take it anymore. She gives up and stops doing her assigned tasks. Then she really does die. Xiangxiang: Phone, I'm coming to find you. The people who hated her but hadn't gotten the chance to take revenge fall silent as they look at her body. The System falls silent too as it looks at the tasks marked with red X's. It has never seen a Host this defiant! Xiangxiang :) Unexpectedly, she opens her eyes again, this time with a different identity. She no longer has to carry out tasks against her will, and in her hands is… Xiangxiang: Isn't this my phone? Phone: I was so moved by my owner's devotion that I helped her start a second playthrough. I'm the best phone in the entire universe!
