After the Cannon-Fodder Junior Sister Survived Her Way to Max Level

Yu Xingshuang transmigrates into a xianxia novel as a cannon-fodder junior sister.

Thinking of her tragic fate, getting killed off right from the start, she decides to stay away from the plot.

Why not go into seclusion for a few hundred years and wait until the male and female leads have ascended before coming out?

Cultivators retain their youthful looks forever, so when she emerges from seclusion, she still looks as sweet and lovely as she did back then. But no one in the sect recognizes her, and everyone assumes she's a newly admitted junior sister.

Being a junior sister is great. She doesn't have to protect the world, she can slack off unnoticed, and she won't have to rush to the front whenever something happens. It suits her usual cautious, low-key approach perfectly.

But...

Why are the villains so weak now?

She's out on an adventure with her fellow disciples when they encounter a once-in-ten-thousand-years beast tide.

Yu Xingshuang: Is this just pretend play?

She plucks a few notes on her qin, calming the agitated beasts. They go east when she tells them to and wouldn't dare go west, while even the Beast King obediently does her bidding.

While exploring a secret realm, she and the outstanding young talents of various sects get trapped in an ancient formation.

The chosen ones scratch their heads and use every last trump card.

Yu Xingshuang: You're so noisy. You're keeping me awake with all that arguing.

She draws a talisman and effortlessly breaks the formation. An ancient treasure even recognizes her as its master.

The demons run rampant, and the Demon Venerable leads an army to invade.

Yu Xingshuang: If my sect is destroyed, how am I supposed to keep being an unremarkable junior sister?

She sneaks into the demon camp at night and spars with the Demon Venerable, beating him until he accepts defeat. The demon army retreats that very night.

Demon Venerable: It's bad enough that I can't beat the Immortal Venerable, but I can't even beat an ordinary junior sister passing by! The immortal sects are terrifying! I'm outta here.jpg

Yu Xingshuang thinks her days will continue peacefully like this, and hopes to keep hiding until the original story's ending.

But why does the aloof, dispassionate leader of the righteous path, so far above everyone else that he seems unreachable, look more and more familiar?

Damn, isn't that the handsome senior brother she flirted with years ago?

Upcoming: After the Villainess Fakes Her Death

Vivian, who has entered a Western fantasy comic, suddenly remembers that her loyal knight will become a tyrannical madman in the future.

At that moment, she's diligently maintaining her wicked-woman persona, looking down at him from above.

His hair is disheveled, and there's a streak of blood on his cheek. Ornate, sinister dark markings cover his beautiful pectoral muscles and lean, powerful lower back, confirming his future as a villain.

Remembering all the things she's done to him, Vivian decides she'll be doomed once he ascends the throne. She abandons even her noblewoman's identity and flees in the middle of the night, faking her death.

She reaches the empire's border and lives in anonymity. Life is fairly peaceful.

One day, a wandering bard passes through and performs a song about him.

The wandering royal has now been crowned king, and his glory is sung throughout the continent.

Everyone knows that His Majesty the Emperor has no interest in women and harbors a beloved who remains forever in his heart. She was gentle and kind, and saved him when he was down on his luck. She was a warm light in his long, dark night.

Her name is Vivian, the very embodiment of everything good.

Vivian: That's not true! I didn't do that! Stop making things up!

Later, the demon army invades the empire's border. Vivian can't escape and cowers in the ruins.

A stone above her shifts, and thinking it's a demon, she hugs herself in terror.

But what appears before her is a long, powerful hand, and deep, icy eyes beneath familiar brows.

The handsome, towering knight lifts the frail young woman in one arm, holding a sword in the other as his crimson cape billows behind him.

As his blade sweeps past, the demons in his way fall one after another.

-- "My queen, I've come to take you home."

"I'm not your queen..." Vivian mutters from the knight's arms.

He lowers his eyes and gazes at her reverently, his deep voice brimming with tenderness. "My lady, would you come home with me?"
