A Mystic Sect Master Reborn as the Villainess in a Republican-Era Tragedy

Shen Yiran, a master of the mystic arts, woke up to find she had transmigrated into a melodramatic Republican-era romance novel, where she had become the tragic supporting female character.

In the novel, the original character's father, Shen Jianwen, married her mother in a match arranged by their parents. After the original character and her younger brother were born, he went abroad to study.

Who could have guessed that he would find true love while overseas, and that the original character's mother, his legal wife, would be cast aside as a relic of feudalism and driven out of the Shen family?

To support her mother and younger brother, the original character had no choice but to become a singing hostess at a nightclub.

At the dance hall, she fell in love with the male lead and gave herself to him. But before long, he fell in love with the daughter of Shen Jianwen's true love, because she was pure, innocent, and kind.

On the day the male and female leads got married, the original character jumped into the river and killed herself. Her mother, consumed by guilt, followed her into the river. The original character's younger brother tried to avenge her, but was killed by the male lead.

Shen Yiran transmigrated at the very moment the original character was about to enter the dance hall and become a singer.

The dance hall manager: Third Master, there's a promising girl outside. She could be trained to become our star attraction. Would you like to see her yourself?

Lu Zhenwan: Bring her in. Let's have a look.

Shen Yiran, upon meeting Lu Zhenwan: Boss Lu, dark energy is gathering between your brows. You're in danger of a bloody disaster. For just twenty silver dollars, I can avert it. Interested?

Lu Zhenwan: ...

Lu Zekun, heir to the Lu family, one of the Four Great Families, was cursed by the Lu family's enemies while still in the womb. He has been plagued by yin energy for years, leaving his limbs cold and making him a target for demons.

Then one day, he met a young girl at his third uncle's place. Whenever he got close to her, he felt warmth flowing through him, and the demons that had coveted him no longer dared approach.

Theme: Face the sun and grow.
