After Becoming the Peerless Genius of the Cultivation World

[A cultivation power fantasy with an overwhelmingly strong female lead, written in the author's own style, with a lighthearted tone]

Huan Yunxi is severely socially anxious and goes expressionless whenever she gets nervous. After staying up late to finish several cultivation novels in a row, she closes her eyes and opens them in a place that seems to be the cultivation world.

To go with the flow, she resolutely joins the ranks of cultivators.

However, during the sect's entrance selection, she notices that something is unusual.

The handsome young man who seems unremarkable is the chosen one from a traditional cultivation story, complete with an old master who lives in his body.

The gloomy boy with lifeless eyes and ragged clothes is the male lead in a dark cultivation story: bullied at first, he will awaken later and destroy the world.

The red-robed youth who blends in with everyone and gets along with all sides is a future Demon Lord, infiltrating the sect to bide his time.

The sweet-smiling, innocent-looking girl is the heroine of a cultivation story about a fan favorite. She wins the hearts of countless powerful men, who often say things like, "Your eyes are red," "Come here," and "I'll give you my life."

Huan Yunxi: She doesn't know how the books she read got mixed together, but at least she can sit back and watch the drama.

But when Huan Yunxi puts her hand on the Immortal Testing Stone, a pillar of golden light so dazzling it hurts to look at shoots into the sky, illuminating the dusky heavens as bright as day.

The people waiting to be tested are stunned, and so are the elders in charge.

The chosen one stares in astonishment. A shadow of inscrutable light flashes through the gloomy dark-cultivation male lead's eyes. The future Demon Lord curls his lips with interest, while the fan-favorite heroine curiously asks the people around her what is going on.

Feeling the gazes coming at her from every direction, Huan Yunxi, expressionless with nerves, thinks: Well, looks like I can't be an extra after all.

She's stolen everyone's spotlight right from the start. As a socially anxious person, she can peacefully die now.

Years later, when people talk about Huan Yuxi's exploits, they always bring up the scene at the Immortal Testing Stone.

The girl with flowing black hair faces the dazzling golden light, her expression blank and her eyes utterly still. Even with everyone watching, she shows not the slightest trace of joy. Her dark eyes are like ink, like still water that never flows, as if nothing could ever move her.

Everyone who witnessed that scene says the same thing: That bearing truly deserves to be called peerless in the world, the greatest under heaven.

Huan Yuxi, misunderstood by everyone: ???

Could it be that she's just socially anxious and expressionless?

1. This is an absolutely over-the-top power fantasy. The heroine isn't invincible from the start, but she will eventually reach the ceiling of combat ability.

2. There is a male lead and a love-triangle showdown. The possible love interests include, but aren't limited to, the ones in the blurb.

3. My own take on cultivation.
