"It's just a travelogue..." said the carefree immortal.
Lin Yingyan practiced diligently every day and finally reached the Deity Transformation stage. She thought she could at last leave the mountain and have the time of her life, but instead she was told she would have to compete with her junior sister for the next sect leader's position.
She had planned to lose in a token gesture, but her opponent framed her for poisoning an elder. She was expelled from the sect, and the sect leader decided to go into seclusion and put the matter off until later...
Junior Sister: "Ha ha ha! Let's see how you can compete with me now. Senior Brother likes you, and the sect leader favors you. Why should you get everything?!"
Lin Yingyan: "... I never wanted to compete with you in the first place. This works out just fine for me. Bye!"
Dodging assassins, she traveled to scenic places as a carefree immortal, taking in the mountains and rivers, meeting all kinds of friends, and seeing the people of the world. What a wonderful, joyful life!
One day, she happened to return to settle the matter, only to learn that an expert had already uncovered the truth and cleared up the misunderstanding. But the expert wasn't from her sect. Afterward, the sect leader sent someone to bring her back and inherit the position. She refused on the spot.
Perhaps that expert had said something to the sect leader, because after that, no one came looking for her again...
She remained as carefree as ever, still the same wandering immortal. After seeing the world's beauty, all she wanted was to remain an elusive, carefree immortal, no longer bound by anything else.
She had once seen the world only in terms of good and evil, righteous and demonic. But after becoming a carefree immortal, she came to understand just how complicated the world could be, and how hard emotions were to make sense of...

About this story:
1. The protagonist, Yan-chan, has no romantic pairing, though some supporting characters do.
2. The story sees the world and its many ways of life through Yan-chan's eyes. No matter how much she comes to understand, it is all her own insight.
3. Characters from my other books may appear. That's normal. Yan-chan may cross paths with them, but their ties to her are tenuous.
4. Updates are irregular because the author is free-spirited~
Theme: Follow your heart, but stay within bounds.
