Everyone knew that the Duke's niece was exceptionally gifted, with excellent natural aptitude. She was the most likely candidate to be taken in as the Penglai Immortal Venerable's final disciple.
Li Qianqian thought so too.
The profound and unfathomable path of immortality came to her at a touch. She could summon complex talismans with a flick of her hand, and even casual study left her fellow disciples miles behind.
And yet...
At the final trial, the most unremarkable fellow disciple killed Li Qianqian with a single move. Before she even got a good look at the Immortal Venerable, she was carried out of the arena, a laughingstock.
Li Qianqian: "..."
That was so humiliating. Could she have a do-over?
To her surprise, when she opened her eyes again, she really had returned to the time just after she had joined Penglai, when she was still riding high.
Li Qianqian swore that this time, she would hold her head high and make her name feared far and wide!
Until she discovered that this so-called do-over was nothing more than a game designed by the immortals...
The good-for-nothing fellow disciple was the beloved apprentice of an ascended immortal. The sickly senior brother who taught her secret techniques was a colleague who couldn't stand that immortal...
Li Qianqian: Am I part of your game too?
Li Qianqian tossed her sword aside. "I'm done playing."
#Let whoever wants to fall in love do it. She's done being the monkey in this circus.
*Reader's guide:
1. This story has a loosely episodic structure. The blurb describes only one of its arcs.
2. The heroine is a pampered young lady with a spoiled temper. Even after her do-over, her personality doesn't change.
The hero is tsundere and secretly flirtatious. His attitude isn't exactly pleasant at first (take note).
3. The mythology draws from a hodgepodge of systems, with tons of original worldbuilding. Don't overthink it.
4. Sui Yu is not the hero.
Please add my next book in the same category, "Good-for-Nothing Junior Sister, but a High God," to your collection!
After enduring tens of thousands of years of nonstop drudgery in the Celestial Realm, Qing Ye decided to fake her death and run away.
Unexpectedly, the heavenly tribulation that came for her was far more powerful than she had anticipated. It destroyed her immortal body and gravely wounded her spirit, sending her tumbling into the mortal world, where she slept for a thousand years.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become a good-for-nothing whom everyone in the cultivation world looked down on.
Qing Ye, once the biggest shot in the Celestial Realm: ...Who are you looking down on? Me?
Fortunately, a discerning sect invited her to join, treating her like a priceless treasure. Qing Ye gladly accepted.
Then she discovered that the people in this sect were the most abnormal of all.
The sickly junior senior brother came from a family of sword cultivators, and could make himself cough up three pints of blood with a single sword dance.
The second senior sister was devoted to the Way, studying and practicing so hard she forgot to eat and sleep. Then she looked up and found she was only at Foundation Establishment, Stage Three.
And the eldest senior brother, the sect leader, had every spiritual root and excellent aptitude, yet insisted he was mediocre. He spent all day cooking and doing laundry, becoming a jack-of-all-trades and master of none.
Qing Ye, who had commanded countless troops: Enough!
Her gaze swept over the junior senior brother, coughing blood in the wind:
"Do you really have to practice swordsmanship? Why not take a look at the pile of heaven-grade pills in your furnace?"
To the second senior sister, shrouded in gloom:
"We're members of the demonic path. Maybe we shouldn't follow the traditional cultivation route."
To the honest, simple-minded eldest senior brother:
"Come on, put down that spatula and repeat after me: I'm a genius. I'm going to ascend."
The Lingxiao Sect had no money, no people, and no skills. It was acknowledged as the worst sect in the cultivation world.
Then, during the sect recruitment, they met a young female cultivator with nowhere else to go.
Her dantian was blocked, her spiritual meridians destroyed. She was a good-for-nothing through and through.
At first, everyone in the sect only wanted to bring someone back to make their ranks look fuller.
Later, they realized they had found a treasure.
With her guidance, the junior senior sister, whose cultivation had stagnated, advanced several stages in a row. The second senior brother, abandoned by his family, made a name for himself. The supposedly mediocre eldest senior brother shone brilliantly...
And the junior sister herself was enveloped in the golden light of ascension.
The Lingxiao Sect: !!!
We're rich now, people!
*
Looking at her flourishing sect, Qing Ye happily cut off all contact with the Immortal Realm and prepared to enjoy a blissful life of eating well and doing nothing.
Then a long-dormant thread in her spiritual consciousness suddenly lit up. "Having fun playing dead?"
#Who's talking?
#I'm already 'dead.' Can you leave me alone?
#Oh, you're a ghost too? Never mind.
Message: Have the courage to admit your mistakes.
Gu Wushi, I advise you to speak less. Every word you say now will be a hindrance to your pursuit of sister Bao.
I really like the emotional pull in the early stages, and I really like the smart and independent Qianqian. Personally, I think it's a pity that the fellow practitioners have gone offline later. The group portraits in the front are very cute! It feels like it's a bit rushed later on, and some things could actually use some foreshadowing (for example, could the last hairpin be described earlier?). But I still like the whole story very much, it would be great if there were extras!
Qiao Jian, it can't be Zhuyu...
Suddenly I remembered that I will upload it tomorrow, so today's update will be advanced to 12 noon~
I won't even look at a real marriage, but I'm extremely excited about a fake marriage.
Madam, will you update today? T T
Princess Anning is written as a princess
When I saw this, I didn't quite understand. When did Gu Wushi fall in love with the heroine? Now he wants to accompany the heroine to collect the fragments of the earthly mirror. He also insists on the heroine leaving his "red rope". I hope the heroine will trust him more and hate him less. Moreover, Yu Ruyi had been During that copy, because I was blind, when I heard the heroine talking to Yao Guang, I would have emotional fluctuations because of the heroine's words, but I never saw what it was about the heroine that touched him, so I felt that Gu Wushi's feelings now were a bit inexplicable...
After reading it, I feel that the ending is a little rushed, but I still like this story very much. I am looking forward to the next book, I hope it will be better!
? Is this a serious ending?
