Wen Yi believed she had been an ordinary office worker in the twenty-first century in her previous life. Her greatest pastime was killing time at work by reading one web novel after another.
After enduring the male-oriented stud novels on a certain site, with their domineering, manipulative fathers; the old-school CEO romances on a certain other site, where the delicate heroine was abused in every imaginable way; and the heartache of stories about awful men who could never let go of their first love, she finally transmigrated one night into a completely different world. She was so full of resentment from working without a day off that it could have nourished ten evil sword spirits.
She even had a fair amount of status and talent. In this new cultivation world, where everything depended on strength, she was able to get along just fine and live a pretty good life.
But... who can tell her why?!
Why was there a celestial beauty trapped by an old man using tears, scolding, and threats, then dragged down from her pedestal? And why wasn't that enough for him? He left her bones trapped on the sacrificial altar, ready to ensnare the next girl.
Why would a young lady devote herself to love, leave her family, and exhaust herself until she was spent, only for her husband to give all his love and compensation to her young concubine half-sister, supposedly so she could die without regrets?
Why, in a world of immortals, were there still tired old tropes about a woman losing her memory and failing to recognize the person who saved her, then tormenting her innocent benefactor until she became a deeply unhappy noblewoman who wished for death and spent her life consumed by hatred?
Why were there still substitute tropes, misunderstandings, first-love tropes, conflicts between good and evil, and even disgusting tropes like killing your wife and abandoning your children?!
Why had she transmigrated into this string of melodramatic, tragic romance novels? She was a princess, yet had no freedom, and was even expected to continue the "previous story," sacrifice herself wholeheartedly, and become a heroine who suffered physically, emotionally, and along with her entire family?
#Help, help, help!#
#Do none of you have brains?#
#I'm sick of stories that torment women!#
#The cultivation world can just be destroyed.#
*Here is the proper blurb:
Wen Yi saw with her own eyes the true ending for the heroines of these tragic romances. The elders who had treated them well, the cousins bound to them by blood, and their lively, adorable younger sisters all rushed into a future with no happy ending, dying for "love." Meanwhile, the men responsible gained both fame and fortune, and only had to endure the trivial hardship of "a miserable life without love" before moving on without a care.
She used to be a young woman whose family protected her well. She still is.
She had tried every way she could think of: hiding, running away, backing down... The power of the Heavenly Dao tightly shackled every option that left room for compromise, insisting that Wen Yi accept her one and only "glorious mission," which was about to begin.
Who could possibly put up with that?!!!
What kind of idiotic, fated love and tragic romance was this? She refused to believe in fate. She would turn the world upside down, completely crush those people's arrogant pride, and pave the way for a new world with their blood!
"Everyone, look me in the eye."
What do you want, exactly?
Me?
I want to draw my sword against injustice,
I want to crush every hardship in my path,
I want us
to thrive for all eternity, our names never to fade.
Content warnings:
1. The male leads will be tortured, and I mean literally: the protagonist kills her husbands. Fans of the male leads, please do not read. I repeat, male-lead fans, do not read, do not! If you can't accept the male leads in each arc suffering, please click the X in the top right. Thank you.
2. Again, the male leads are all "take the bad and discard the good," so their endings will be absolutely, utterly miserable. Male-lead fans, please don't click in. Run away, quickly!
3. This is an ensemble cast, with my take on cultivation. It's a female-led progression story, with lots of companions. The heroine won't be the only one wielding a sword. (To repeat: this is an ensemble story, so don't ask why there are male characters or why they get their own scenes. It's an ensemble story about both women and men. Yes, there are both women and men. If you ask similar questions in the comments again, I won't reply.)
4. Please note that this is a slow-burn story. There will be a long buildup before she kills the awful men. The first volume also has many positive male characters, though there will be even more women. The heroine only starts taking the world by storm later, so please stop reading if that's not for you.
5. Since this is an ensemble story, there will be good male mentors, senior male disciples, and so on. The severe punishments are reserved for the male leads in each arc and the scumbag supporting characters. Please think carefully about whether this suits your tastes. If you nitpick in the comments again, I'll bite back!
6. One more time: this is a slow-burn story, with a very long buildup. If you want a huge twist from the start, go read my other two acclaimed books. Look through the "Best Comments" section on my page; they're all listed there.
7. I promise again: I'll kill them. Every last one, one at a time. Don't rush me! If I don't kill the men in a volume before it ends, come find me and leave a long negative review in the comments!
8. No writing advice, no trolls, and no confrontational demands. Please be respectful. I welcome discussion of the story, so feel free to speak up.
9. Updated daily, between 11 p.m. and midnight.
The more comments and support you send, the more likely I am to appear~
10. Morality is not the only shackle placed on women. The heroine and other female characters may not follow conventional moral standards, so please don't read if that bothers you.
11. My Weibo and Afdian accounts use the same name as the author here. I've been reported quite a bit lately, and I don't know what the future holds...
