Meng Qiwui writes deliciously angsty, over-the-top melodramas.
She closed and opened her eyes, only to transmigrate into a cultivation novel as the cannon-fodder junior sister whose spiritual root gets dug out.
In the original story, the original owner was hopelessly in love with the reborn male lead, Long Aotian. He used her, stole her supreme Heavenly Spiritual Root, and turned it into one of his early golden fingers.
After losing her cultivation and spiritual root, the original owner was expelled from the sect, and her fate was unknown.
Having nearly kicked the bucket right after transmigrating, Meng Qiwui cursed the heavens. She had spent all the money and spirit stones she had just to save her own life.
To earn money and stay alive, Meng Qiwui put on a secret identity and spent all her savings to buy a column in a cultivation-world newspaper.
Three days later, the new issue came out, and everyone who bought a copy saw the column.
[Five hundred years after becoming Dao companions with the Immortal Venerable, I finally learned that I was her double. My body was refined into a vessel, while that woman used it to share a loving life with my Dao companion...]
Passing mortal: Wait, a double?
Passing cultivator: What? Refining a body and borrowing a corpse to return to life?!
What a treasure! Let me see!
A few minutes later, mortals and cultivators alike had their minds blown.

After she started writing, Meng Qiwui was delighted to discover that the popularity of her novels could be converted into achievement points. She could use those points to repair her body and keep cultivating!
She casually joined a small sect. By day, she was a lazy junior sister who couldn't be bothered to do anything. By night, she put on her secret identity, [Real Person Mengli], and wrote furiously.
But Meng Qiwui never expected that a week later, a great figure she'd never heard of would be nailed to the pillar of shame.
Everyone was talking.
[I knew that Real Person Songwu was no good! Real Person Qinse was so gentle, but since last year she's suddenly become hot-tempered and unreasonable. She even let slip that her name was Zhen Yao, not Qinse!]
Meng Qiwui: ...?
Meng Qiwui hurriedly switched to another story. This time, she wrote a mistaken-love story about a woman disguised as a man. Before long, she heard news of two real people she didn't know getting married.
Everyone was talking.
[Real Person Changhe and Real Person Changshu of the Kunlun Sword Sect have become Dao companions! Real Person Changhe had disguised herself as a man for three hundred years. Her senior brother, Changshu, always thought he was attracted to men and refused to hold her back. He never knew Changhe was a woman!]
Meng Qiwui: ...Wait?!
I made that up! Why did it actually happen?!
Life in the cultivation world is way too colorful!

The more Meng Qiwui wrote, the more she feared someone would come after her. To protect her life, she buried her secret identity and wrote even more melodramatic stories to raise her cultivation through achievement points.
The more she wrote, the more dangerous things became. The more dangerous things became, the more she had to write. She was caught in a vicious cycle.
Countless classic tales spread through the mortal and cultivation worlds, greatly enriching everyone's spiritual lives.
Meanwhile, the original male lead, Long Aotian, continued to rely on his protagonist's halo to plunder other people's fortune.
Meng Qiwui took the opportunity to quietly build up her strength, her cultivation soaring thanks to her melodramatic stories.
Just as Long Aotian was about to become sect master of the Kunlun Sword Sect, the number-one sect, Master Mengli's new serial was quietly released.
Everyone in the cultivation world took a closer look and was stunned.
