Rumor had it that the top cultivation sect had taken in a new junior sister. She had no money to her name and looked like she couldn't lift a finger, but her eyes were stubborn and pitiful.
The good news: After a century without a single disciple, they finally had a junior sister.
The bad news: Though she was a total weakling, she loved rubbing salt in people's wounds, and her mouth was the hardest thing about her.
For example
During a demon-hunting mission.
Junior Sister: "Hmph, only ten of you? Here's what I'll do: I won't even use my sword. Gather a hundred people, then challenge me."
Senior Sister, surrounded by a hundred people alongside her: ...
During a tournament match.
Junior Sister: "A match should end when one side has had enough. Since you're only at the Golden Core stage, I'll give you a suitable treasure to ensure a fair fight."
Second Senior Brother, down below and afraid she'd get beaten to death: ...
During her tribulation to ascend.
Junior Sister: "Why are you so nervous? It's only the Heavenly Dao. If it dares stop me, I'll defy, mmph, mmph!"
First Senior Brother, covering her mouth: (smiling) "Master, this one's a lost cause. When are you going to find us another junior sister?"
Their rebellious junior sister had the whole sect worrying that her enemies might come after her while she was out training. The only solution they could think of was to take turns pretending to bump into her every 24 hours to keep her safe.
Then they saw the delicate, helpless flower vase of a junior sister split mountains and shatter the cosmos with a single sword strike
Dressed in white, the young woman stood as the lights of countless homes divided the world into light and shadow behind her. Her eyelids moved. After a moment, she heard a sound and raised her eyes.
"I'm invincible. Do as you please."
"...?"
The day Ye Sui awakened, she realized she was the female supporting character in a power fantasy novel.
The 600,000-word original story was either about the male lead stumbling upon some lucky opportunity or about him humiliating everyone who had once looked down on him.
As for Ye Sui, she was the NPC who fell in love at first sight, foolishly gave the male lead a treasure, and pushed his romance with the female lead along.
On the day the male and female leads married, no one cared about the sect that had once rejected the male lead's request to become a disciple, been treated by everyone as a gift meant to curry favor with him, and been slaughtered to the last person overnight.
On that full-moon night, her red-clad Senior Sister was pierced through the heart by a sword wielded by the male lead's faction. Her Second Senior Brother, who had wanted to taste every herb in the world, had his hands and feet cut off.
And her elegant, untainted First Senior Brother was cast into the mire, imprisoned in the filthiest dungeon of the demon realm.
In a so-called power fantasy novel, only one person was allowed to shine.
After cutting off the head of the male lead she loved with her own hands, Ye Sui returned ten years into the past.
From the day she climbed each step on her knees to become her master's disciple, she had made a vow
If the Heavenly Dao was blind, then she would be the one to break it.
From now on, she, Ye Sui, would be the new...
"Sui Sui."
When she looked up, her black-haired First Senior Brother stood there in green robes. With a sword in one hand, he summoned sword qi and sliced off a cluster of peach blossoms above her head.
He smiled and spoke to her like an immortal descended from the heavens:
"I think your path is the Path of All Living Beings."
