I Returned from the Cultivation World and Became a Top-Tier Star

Yan Zhen transmigrated into a male-oriented cultivation novel as the female antagonist who gets dumped by the male lead.

Just as she was about to ascend after killing the male lead and proving her place in the Great Dao, Yan Zhen transmigrated back to her original world.

She was one step from the finish line, only to be sent straight back to square one.

The first thing Yan Zhen did after returning was move to the countryside to cultivate in seclusion, preparing to ascend once more.

A new neighbor moved into the house next door to the one where Yan Jing was staying while filming the livestream variety show Leisurely Living.

The neighbor came and went at all hours. A week after moving in, Yan Jing still hadn't run into them.

Short on living expenses, Yan Jing had no choice but to bring the other cast members next door to buy vegetables the neighbor had planted in the yard.

The door opened, and Yan Jing was dumbfounded.

The mysterious neighbor who filled her yard with vegetables and was always coming and going turned out to be his own younger sister, who was spoiled, bad-tempered, unable to endure hardship, and had a terrible relationship with him.

Yan Jing's younger sister suddenly appeared on the variety show. Yan Jing had mentioned more than once that he and his sister had incompatible personalities and didn't get along very well.

Viewers tuning in to the livestream expected to see the siblings' battle of the century. Instead, they saw this:

Yan Jing got food poisoning and was vomiting and suffering from diarrhea. Yan Zhen appeared out of nowhere, shoved a fistful of bright green grass into his mouth, and cured him on the spot.

The guests failed to complete their mission and were all going hungry. Yan Zhen came breezing in, a chicken in one hand and a duck in the other, and whipped up a feast for them.

Yan Jing twisted his ankle while picking wild vegetables and got stranded on the mountain. As torrential rain poured down and he despaired, Yan Zhen came through the storm, holding an umbrella in one hand and carrying him with the other. She lugged him all the way down the mountain.

Yan Jing: ...

Viewers: ...

There's reason to suspect the siblings don't get along because his sister simply thinks her brother is useless.

The livestream variety show made Yan Zhen, a complete unknown, an overnight sensation. She became a top-tier star just like her brother Yan Jing.

During filming, a big bad wolf also set its sights on Yan Zhen.

Before Yan Jing could deal a vicious blow to the wolf, he saw Yan Zhen brandishing a gleaming longsword and chasing after it, hacking away.

She was shouting, "So you're the damn author of that novel! Prepare to die! I'll kill my husband and prove my place in the Great Dao today!"

Yan Jing looked relieved. His sister had grown up and no longer needed him as her big brother.
