The Tragic Novel's Heroine Ran Away

A Yuan is the youngest junior sister of the Sword Sect.

She comes from a distinguished family, was born with a sword bone, and was accepted as a disciple by a renowned master. Everyone has high hopes for her. She grasped the Dao at a young age, earning everyone's envy.

But in the Heaven and Earth Mirror of a secret realm, she sees the future:

Her master gouges out her golden core and gives it to her senior sister, who looks just like her and has been unconscious for years. A Yuan leaves a letter and jumps from a sheer cliff. Her master, senior brothers, and the others slowly come to their senses, overcome with bitter regret and grief.

After jumping from the cliff, she survives and becomes a demonic cultivator. Day by day, year by year, she finally becomes the great demon of the cultivation world. She kills her senior sister, abducts her master, and subjects him to every kind of humiliation. Defying her master and ancestors, she eventually reaches a happy ending with her beautiful master.

A Yuan's inner demon takes root, and she spits out a mouthful of blood.

She thinks, Maybe I should run away first, find somewhere to hide and cultivate as a demon. Once I've become a great demon, I'll come out of seclusion and wipe out this sect.

But before she can even leave the secret realm, an immortal Venerable passing by takes her in.

"You have talent. Why not cultivate as an immortal with me?"

"There's a character meaning 'Yuan' on your sword tassel. From now on, you'll take my surname. I'll call you Wen Yuan."

Her new master is ethereal and striking, with a heart that embraces all living things and a sword that can command mountains and seas. He is a once-in-a-millennium figure in the cultivation world.

Her new sect also has three senior brothers.

"Junior sister, here's some puffed rice candy."

"Junior sister, I'll take you to steal the wine Master brewed."

"Junior sister, I accidentally set the kitchen on fire. Hurry and say something nice to Master for me."

※

The people of the Sword Sect once told A Yuan:

"Don't smile. You don't look like her when you smile."

Her master sits in a tree, admiring the flowers. As he watches, he spots his little disciple standing beneath it.

"A Yuan, give me a smile."

"Who would tell you not to smile? When our A Yuan smiles, even the wonders of the mountains and seas pale in comparison."

The Sword Sect's youngest junior sister has gone missing. They scour every corner of the world, vowing to find her and bring her home.

A Yuan: Thanks for asking. I've already run away. My new sect is wonderful, and I'm happy here. I'm not coming back. Goodbye.

[Reading Guide]

※ The female lead fails to become a demon and is saved instead.

※ Her master is an exceptionally elegant, compassionate, healing sort of character. He seems unreachable, but is actually very gentle. He finds ways to cheer his disciples up and takes them out to have fun. He's very even-tempered.

※ But when Master gets angry, he's terrifying, and in a fight, he's ferocious. The cultivation world is peaceful from the start. The major villains all hide at home and avoid going out because they fear getting beaten up by him.

※ The female lead is fairly driven in the main story, but her current sect is especially determined to shelter her from harm. So there may be times when her master and senior brothers defeat the monsters she was supposed to fight before she can get to them.
