While following the story Beloved Little Junior Sister, Tan Xiao felt the most sorry for Su He, the ill-fated supporting female character.
At thirteen, Su He was brought back to the sect. Her elders doted on her, and the entire sect treated her like a treasure.
But one day, her senior brother told her to have her spiritual bones carved out alive for their junior sister.
It turned out she wasn't beloved at all. She was just a vessel for cultivating the junior sister, to be discarded once she had served her purpose.
By an incredible coincidence, Tan Xiao transmigrated into the body of this ill-fated substitute. She was given three choices:
1. Be sacrificed to the heavens, with her soul utterly destroyed.
2. Be offered to a demon serpent, with her fate unknown.
3. Have her spiritual bones carved out alive for the junior sister, and accept it without complaint.
What kind of deadly start was this?
So, furious, she chose option four:
Win over the arrogant, unhinged ancestor who lived in the back mountains. Anyone who dared make her life miserable would find the ancestor making theirs miserable, too.
All she wanted was enough to eat, but somehow, along the way, the ancestor carried her to success.
The senior brother who wanted to carve out her spiritual bones was made to kneel and apologize to her.
The junior sister who wanted her dead begged for forgiveness, blood streaming down her face.
The sect master, who had never treated everyone equally, declared that she was the pride of the sect...
Faced with all this, she just wanted to cling to the big shot's coattails.
Then one day, she accidentally stumbled into the pool where the ancestor was bathing.
And churning through the water was... a thick, glossy black serpent's tail...
"Running away?"
The massive serpent coiled around her, loop after loop. Its icy golden eyes, bright as torches, fixed on her as if it meant to tear her apart and devour her.
