Within the Nine Provinces and beyond the Thirteen Isles, the Three Sects and Four Orders are where the immortals dwell.
Jiang Wen is the Sword Sect's eldest senior sister.
The Sword Sect is known as the most relentless of the relentless, the king of kings.
After their master died young, Jiang Wen single-handedly raised her junior brothers and sisters, working herself to the bone as both father and mother. At long last, she got them all to adulthood.
Then she went into seclusion for more than a decade.
When Jiang Wen finally emerged and stepped out of her cave, she discovered that all the little cabbages she'd raised to be free of love had turned into hopeless romantics.
Her taciturn second junior brother, born with a sword bone, knelt outside her cave for forty-nine days and nights, pleading for Jiang Wen to release the demoness imprisoned by the Discipline Hall. With his forehead pressed to the flagstones, he rasped, "Senior Sister, I love her."
Her third junior sister, once single-minded in her pursuit of the Dao, aloof and self-possessed, clutched some phoenix man who'd appeared out of nowhere. Blushing for once, she said, "Senior Sister, I only want him."
Her youngest junior brother, a volatile half-demon, half-immortal who used to be a walking disaster, had become entangled with a married woman. When Jiang Wen pressed him for an answer, he avoided her gaze. "Senior Sister, don't blame her."
Jiang Wen: "..."
Jiang Wen: "…"
Fine, fine. So that's how we're playing it.
Jiang Wen went with a knife to confront the friends who had promised to look after her junior brothers and sisters, only to discover that each one of them was surrounded by beauties and tangled up in romance.
Jiang Wen: ?
Do peach blossoms really have to appear in whole clusters?
Her junior sister's romance with the phoenix man moved at a dizzying pace, and she threatened to kill herself if she couldn't bond with him.
The second and fourth junior brothers did their utmost to support the couple, the elders of the sect approved and praised them, and even her friends said they were made for each other.
For a moment, Jiang Wen became the one breaking up the lovebirds.
Her elders blamed her, her junior siblings resented her, and her friends tried to reason with her.
Jiang Wen was the villain.
On the wedding day, Jiang Wen sat in the seat of honor, staring expressionlessly at the couple as they slowly approached.
They followed the rules, offering tea and making their vows. Just as they reached the final step, Jiang Wen suddenly heard a faint electronic voice.
[Conquest progress: 98%. The mission is one step from success. Host, please complete the wedding as soon as possible.]
The phoenix man's voice followed: [I know, I know. According to the plot, I'm supposed to kill my wife to prove my Dao, right? Finally, we're getting to the main story. Then I'll have a harem of three thousand beauties--]
In an instant, it was as if heaven and earth had become clear. Countless voices flooded her ears.
The noise came from her second junior brother, her youngest junior brother, and her friend standing with his hands behind his back.
[Conquest target: Sword Sect prodigy. Conquest progress: 70%.]
[Conquest target: Half-immortal, half-demon. Conquest progress: 65%.]
[Conquest target: ...]
That day, hundreds of families gathered, and the halls were packed with the finest talents of the immortal sects and prodigies of the righteous path.
From the highest seat came the sharp crash of a porcelain cup breaking.
The Sword Sect's infamous, cold-hearted eldest senior sister gripped the groom by the throat, her expression blank.
"I do not approve of this marriage."
This is a story about a world riddled with transmigrators, and an absolute genius whom no one can ever conquer.
