After Coming to My Senses, I Secured a Steady Job at the Immortal Sect

Li Daixing had a long dream, and when she woke up, she realized she'd been an idiot.

She dreamed of another person named Li Daixing, living in a world called "modern times." This woman had the same parents and the same relationships as her.

In the dream, Modern Li Daixing was a "middle-class only daughter." Determined to be herself and escape her family's control, she insisted on marrying a man from out of town. She also flatly refused to take the civil service exam or accept any job her parents arranged for her. In the end, a car accident left her permanently scarred, her family fell apart, and her childhood friend, who had grown up alongside her, was left permanently disabled after saving her.

Modern Li Daixing's tragic ending gave Li Daixing of the cultivation world a harsh lesson.

She was from Yujing. Both her parents were immortal officials there, and she had a childhood friend named Lu Lingyu. She had just had a huge fight with her parents, refused to take the Holy Palace's immortal official exam, and resolved to start from the bottom in a remote region plagued by witches and demons. She also genuinely disliked her childhood friend and his superior attitude.

As a result, Modern Li Daixing was judged to have "played a great hand terribly," to have "had it too good and never been knocked around by life," to have "paid the price for not listening to her parents," and to have just needed to "go hungry for a few meals."

In her dream, Li Daixing received the regrets of her other self from another world:

"I regret it so much. I should have listened to my parents and studied hard for the civil service exam."

"They were right. A man from out of town really wasn't right for me."

"There's nothing wrong with being a good girl."

"Lu Lingyu doesn't seem that bad. I should have treated him better."

"It's a shame it's too late..."

Li Daixing had just had a huge fight with her parents and Lu Lingyu, and was about to pack her things and run away from home. Her eyes widened in shock. No!

Suddenly, she felt she could still turn things around!

So what if she had to treasure the good hand she'd been dealt and be a good girl? Her idiot brain had woken up, and she was changing her ways on the spot!
