The Female Lead Only Wants to Save Herself

The main story is complete.

Mu Jin transmigrated into the body of the powerful goddess from her dreams.

But her own grandfather grew jealous of her and sealed her away for thirty thousand years. She finally escaped, only to be found by him and killed with a single sword thrust.

Fortunately, she woke up just after breaking free of the seal.

It wasn't the end yet. There was still hope!

To stay alive, Mu Jin turned her attention to her fiancé, the God of War, and his reincarnation.

Rumor had it he possessed Zhaoyuan, a sword that could sweep through a thousand armies when paired with hers.

She concealed her strength and joined the immortal sect where the young Luo Li was studying. While awakening her fiancé's dormant powers, she secretly built up her own forces, pursuing both goals at once.

Many years later, the Demon Realm launched an all-out invasion, intent on conquering the world.

Rumor also had it that the Divine Realm had fallen, leaving no gods to oppose them. Everyone feared for their lives, overcome with anxiety.

Then the obscure junior sister from an immortal sect in the human realm stepped slowly to the front of the crowd.

"Who says the gods are gone?"

Mu Jin then fought her way out, sword in hand. That day, mountains and rivers were shattered, and gods and demons alike were wiped out.

Luo Li was born a prodigy, a rising star among the immortal sects.

That was, until he met Mu Jin.

At first, all he wanted was to be strong enough to wield a sword and protect her.

But the junior sister who had fussed over him and made him fall head over heels had always been looking through him at someone else.

In the end, his heart filled with countless desires. He wanted more than simply to protect her.

With red-rimmed eyes, his voice full of humble pleading, he said, "A Jin, I'm not him... Could you look at me instead?"

[Reading Guide]

Extra chapters are still being updated, but there won't be too many!

This is my first time writing a novel, so please feel free to point out anything that needs work.

The plot develops slowly. The replacement trope is only a pretense.

This isn't just a story about the heroine and hero. The plot calls for a large cast.

[The other female members of the main cast appear later.]

One-on-one romance, happy ending [no guarantees for other supporting characters]

My own take on the xianxia setting. Please don't nitpick the worldbuilding.

Theme: What sets human beings apart most is their ability to restrain their desires.
