There is a saying in the cultivation world: everyone who hates Jiang Tingwei secretly wishes they could be her.
She is a gifted, dazzlingly talented weapon refiner. Any magical weapon bearing her name is snapped up in a frenzy, and even many veteran weapon refiners have to give her a wide berth.
Her awful temper is as famous as her skill at refining weapons. Plenty of people in the cultivation world hate her so much their teeth ache, yet can do nothing about her.
She is formidable, and her backers are even more so. Her master is the number one weapon refiner, her master's husband is the only Sword Lord alive, her childhood friend is the leader of the ghost cultivators, and her other childhood friend is the top talent of the new generation. It's hard not to throw her weight around.
And yet this very person died in a secret realm, devoured by a demon beast, leaving no corpse and a soul too scattered to gather.
Some rejoiced at her misfortune; others lamented her passing.

When Jiang Tingwei opened her eyes again, she had become a dying good-for-nothing girl on another continent.
A thing calling itself the Cannon Fodder Supporting Female Character Reversal System seized the chance to approach her in this body. It told her that this was a book and she was merely a cannon-fodder supporting female character. The only way she could keep living was to accept its binding and obey it.
But the body's original owner was already dead. The person inside it now was Jiang Tingwei. She had always hated being used as a pawn or threatened, and this damned System was guilty of both.
Even with her body on the verge of death, she could still use her shattered soul to devour this so-called System and read the death-script it had prepared for this body.
There was no such thing as a Cannon Fodder Supporting Female Character Reversal System. It was nothing but a tool meant to hand easy victories to an outsider heroine. Jiang Tingwei even saw herself in one of the sample scripts it had prepared: an arrogant villainess in another book.
Looking at the two scripts with the same ending in her hands, Jiang Tingwei gave a cold laugh. "Go on, wash your necks and wait to die."
Reading guide:
1. There is a non-human side couple.
2. My previous book was a long one; this one will take a while to get started.
3. The heroine really does have a terrible temper.
If none of that bothers you, feel free to add this to your collection.
