Original title: "[Dream of the Red Chamber] The Twelve Beauties Cultivate as Immortals Together"

Lin Xizhao transmigrated one day and gained an older sister named Lin Daiyu.

After Jia Min's death, the sisters were sent to the capital.

Facing the dangers and intrigues of the Rongguo Mansion, Lin Xizhao, who looked like a little white rabbit but was actually a sister-obsessed young girl, thought:

Who cares what demons and monsters they are? If anyone dares bully Daiyu, she'll teach them how to behave!

Jia Baoyu accosted Daiyu and encountered a female ghost that night, nearly scaring himself to death.

Madam Wang schemed carefully, then suffered nightmares every night and couldn't sleep.

No one expected an imperial decree from heaven to announce that the sects of the upper realm would be holding immortal trials to recruit disciples.

On the day of the trials

The imperial consort Yuanchun shed her phoenix robe and hair ornaments, raced out of the palace in plain clothes, and shouted, "I'm done being a consort! I want to cultivate immortality!"

Wang Xifeng, the fiery Phoenix, kicked the frivolous Jia Lian out of the way, took Qiaojie with her, and joined an immortal sect, leaving the Rongguo Mansion's mess behind.

The pitiful Qin Keqing beat Jia Zhen and his son until they were half-paralyzed, escaped the mire, and soared into the upper realm.

The Twelve Beauties of Jinling joined immortal sects one after another.

From then on, Yunjiao Sect had a girl with an umbrella who chased disciples from every peak with her sword each day:

"You bunch of ugly losers! If you dare follow my sister again, I'll cut you down!"

Everyone was too terrified to say a word.

Lin Xizhao curled her lips, lifted the hand resting on her head, and looked askance at the person before her. "Senior Brother, do you want to be my brother-in-law too?"

The elegant, otherworldly young man pressed his lips together and said nothing.

Lin Xizhao suddenly realized that this ethereal senior brother, the first disciple of the sect's leader, looked exactly like Miss Yubai from the Rongguo Mansion.

Who could tell her why Senior Brother looked at people so strangely?

Later, she learned that this fellow wanted to become her sister's brother-in-law.

A hundred years ago, twelve reserve flower fairies from the Flower Realm were inexplicably cast into the Book of Ill-Fated Beauties and forced to descend to the mortal world, where they suffered through the cycles of human emotion.

One day, the Fairy Jing Huan peered into the mortal world through a water mirror in the Great Void Illusion Realm. She could no longer see the Twelve Beauties, but heard a heavenly soldier report:

"The Twelve Flower Fairies! They've fought their way back to heaven!"

Shen Shiwei had been madly in love with Luo Tongshang for years, becoming the laughingstock of all Penglai.

No one knew that she had actually transmigrated into a male-lead-centered immortal-cultivation novel. She became a cannon-fodder female supporting character whose job was to make the male lead and heroine look good. Bound to a pursuit System, she followed the male lead for over a hundred years so she wouldn't be struck by lightning.

But her progress remained stuck.

After nearly going into cultivation deviation, the System told her that a bug had made her pursue the wrong person all along.

Shen Shiwei clenched her fists. "What the hell..." (Ten thousand words omitted here.)

System: Host, please pursue the real white moonlight.

Shen Shiwei: "No! I'm going on strike!"

"BOOM!"

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, turning Shen Shiwei into a charred lump.

Amid the ashes, she coughed out a puff of black smoke and struggled to say, "I... agree, all right?"

Shen Shiwei was forced to leave the mountain. Behind the red maple woods in Liuxian Valley, she met a gentle and powerful young man in white, and the two escaped danger together.

Just as she was about to ask his name and thank him, the System chimed in: "System has detected that the target is in place. Host, begin your pursuit."

Looking at the moon-bright face before her, Shen Shiwei thought, "I suppose I could do that."

And so she clung to Pei Yijing, employing all seventy-two tricks to keep pestering him no matter how many times he tried to send her away.

Later, on the Lancang River, Shen Shiwei was accused of colluding with demons.

The white-robed Demon Venerable came through the churning waves and stood in front of her, sword in hand.

"I'm the one who colluded with her."

Shen Shiwei stared in disbelief. "Seriously? I always thought you were a good person."

How had her beloved savior and white moonlight turned into the great villain?

On a rainy night a hundred and sixteen years ago, Pei Yijing saved a little girl.

She thanked him repeatedly and begged him to point her toward the path of immortality.

Pei Yijing casually pointed east.

Years later, when they met again, he had forgotten all about it. But the girl, dressed in Penglai's green robes, tugged at his sleeve and followed him everywhere, like a piece of sticky candy he couldn't shake off.

Pei Yijing couldn't be bothered with her, so he let her do as she pleased.

Later, when the immortal sects trapped him in the Celestial Lake, he struggled to open his eyes and saw a flash of green rush toward him. She tugged at his sleeve and bared her teeth. "Pei Yijing, if you dare die on me, I'll bite you hard one more time, then forget you."

Pei Yijing raised a hand covered in bloody scratches and gently touched her cheek. "Then forget me."

Her reply was a resounding slap.

Core theme: Work hard to change your fate.
