After transmigrating into a book, Ji Xingyun got neither the complicated-background protagonist role nor the long-suffering supporting-character role.
She transmigrated into the role of an elder of the Disciplinary Hall at the Twelve Continents' Supreme Immortal Sect.
The kind who specializes in tormenting the protagonist.
Ji Xingyun: ?
Forget it. It's no big deal.
She could slack off and live carefree anywhere, anyway.
Until the first time she had to administer a punishment, Ji Xingyun fell silent.
Haha, she had absolutely no control over the whip.
Protagonist 1 was moved: “You didn't hit me at all. Elder Ji must know I was framed!”
The second time she had to administer a punishment, Ji Xingyun had just learned how to hold the whip.
Mm-hmm, she had no idea how to swing it.
Protagonist 2 was touched: “You missed several times. Elder Ji must understand my plight!”
The third time she had to administer a punishment, Ji Xingyun was exhausted from practicing how to hit people.
Tsk, my hand is so sore.
Protagonist 3 was moved to tears: “You hit me so gently. Elder Ji must feel sorry for me!”
The fourth time she had to administer a punishment, Ji Xingyun was finally ready to show off!
Quick! Let her put everything she'd learned in her life to the test!
Protagonists 1, 2, and 3 applauded in unison: “Great hit! Hit him even harder!”
This was the one who had framed them time and again! Elder Ji, give him a good whipping!
And so Ji Xingyun spent her days drinking tea when she was free and hitting people when she was busy.
When she was in a good mood, she slacked off. When she was in a bad mood, she whipped people indiscriminately.
She secretly saved up countless spirit stones, planning to use them to support herself in her old age after the Immortal Sect dismissed her, so she wouldn't be left with no one to rely on.
Who could have guessed that years later, she still hadn't been dismissed by the Immortal Sect? Instead, she had whipped up a new lease on life and quite a reputation, becoming the beloved icon of the Twelve Continents' Immortal Sects?
Ji Xingyun: “?”
Ji Xingyun: “Thanks for the offer, but I just want to retire.”
Su Xuesheng raised his eyes slightly at that.
As the acknowledged number-one swordsman of the Twelve Continents, he was as cold as ice that had endured for ten thousand years, yet his gaze held a tenderness he reserved for just one person.
“I can take care of you.”
Protagonists 1 through 9: “We can too!!!”

After saving the world countless times at the cost of his own life, Su Xuesheng grew tired.
This world was rotten to the core. Saving it was meaningless.
In his final cycle, Su Xuesheng decided to watch the world perish.
But this time, there was someone else.
Ji Xingyun.
Noisy and annoying, acting without restraint or the slightest method.
Su Xuesheng thought there was something seriously wrong with her.
But later, he came to feel that nothing in this world was more adorable than her.
With her by his side, the world had meaning to him again.
