Her mother was perfect in every way, yet was tormented at every turn, all because she gave birth to a daughter, Gu Zhixing.
After her health was damaged, her mother could never have another child.
But her father took many concubines, trying night after night to produce a son.
In just three years, the concubines gave him seven children, all boys. Mother and daughter were trampled underfoot, and everyone wanted them dead.
They fed them leftovers, made them live in dilapidated rooms, and put arsenic in their food...
When they realized the two still would not die, they plotted to extract Gu Zhixing's immortal bones, so her father's other sons could embark on the path of cultivation.
Only later did Gu Zhixing understand that her mother was the foil in a cultivation novel.
Her mother was a supporting female character ordained by the Heavenly Dao, destined to make the heroine shine by comparison.
That was why everything her mother did was wrong, and why she was wrong too.
The Heavenly Dao was so unjust.
Sent to the water prison, where her immortal bones were about to be extracted, Gu Zhixing was filled with hatred for this world. The System activated and told her to uphold justice in Heaven's name, traveling to other worlds to change destinies.
As long as she changed enough fates, she could remake her and her mother's destinies.
When Gu Zhixing returned from the minor worlds, she and her mother fought their way out of the water prison, and her cultivation soared overnight.
“What are you going to do?!”
Everyone stared in horror at Gu Zhixing, who was a completely different person from before.
Gu Zhixing said each word distinctly: “For my mother's sake, I will remake the Heavenly Dao.”

The Xu family had a daughter named Xu Zhaozhao, beautiful enough to make the moon hide its face, but spoiled and fussy by nature.
Even with her betrothed, whom she had been promised to since childhood, she held her chin high and laughed at him for being less than handsome. He had nothing but martial prowess, a brute who knew nothing of romance.
The fiancé she mocked quietly went to the border to fight the enemy. By the time he returned, he was a decorated general, second only to The Outcast and above countless others.
Not long afterward, news broke that Xu Zhaozhao, the Xu family's legitimate daughter, was a fake. The real Xu daughter was someone else.
So Xu Zhaozhao, who had been pampered for seventeen years, went from the most renowned beauty in the capital to a discarded girl accused of taking another's place.
She had been raised so delicately that her fingers were soft and slender. Even one less layer of bedding would leave red marks all over her body.
But after her true origins were revealed, she fell from the heights of privilege into the dust, losing everything.
The capital's wealthy young rakes were finally free of their scruples, and one after another they wagered a few taels of silver that they could take her as a concubine.
“Xu Zhaozhao used to think herself above everyone. I want to see how long she can keep up that pride once she's in my hands.”
“Such a beauty. At last, I can have a taste.”
The rakes who said those words had their legs broken and were driven from their homes the very next day.
Everyone saw General Qin, now the apple of every noble young lady's eye, protect Xu Zhaozhao, the castoff of the Xu family, and petition the emperor for an imperial decree.
“Your servant wishes to take Zhaozhao as his wife.”
