A Cat's Guide to Winning Over the Beautiful, Tragic, and Powerful

Yun Qi transmigrated one day and became a snow-white kitten in the Nine Realms.

System Jiujiu told her the Nine Realms were about to be destroyed.

She had to save the Nine Realms and reform the big boss who would destroy the world.

But what could she possibly do?

Before transmigrating, she was an ordinary corporate drone.

After transmigrating, she was an ordinary cat.

She was just an ordinary person.

The task of saving the world couldn't afford to fail.

*

The future boss who would destroy the Nine Realms was named Jiang Chenzhou.

He wasn't quite what she had imagined. He was only sixteen, frail and pale, with something wrong with his cultivation. His body was covered in wounds.

And yet he was working so hard, and had the finest spiritual root and spiritual bones.

Yun Qi wasn't surprised.

As the saying goes, you may claim to be a piece of gold, but Beijing is full of gold.

People don't succeed in this world through talent and hard work alone.

Having grown up in an orphanage, she understood this better than anyone.

*

The Langya Secret Realm.

The youth's spiritual bones were extracted, and his spiritual root was replaced.

The cultivators of Chaoyang Sect returned in triumph.

The youth who had fallen into the mire was destined to become a villain, and the Nine Realms were destined for destruction.

Yun Qi sighed.

She had tried her best, but how could an ordinary person like her help Jiang Chenzhou? How could she save a world?

Just as Jiujiu had said: having his spiritual bones extracted and his spiritual root replaced was fated. What was fated was always hard to change.

A person's fate and fortune.

Two light words that summed up an entire life.

But the youth braced himself on an ordinary, broken iron sword. In pain, he staggered and stumbled, then rose to his feet.

He was so frail.

Yet in that moment, he was like Pangu splitting heaven and earth, opening up the whole world in an instant.

Her heart, dead and extinguished for years, suddenly blazed into life.

She heard herself say, "Jiujiu, Jiujiu, I want to help him."

She wanted to help the youth who had fallen into the mire.

And she wanted to help the version of herself who had once hit rock bottom.

She was determined to try and see whether fate could truly be defied, whether fortune could really be changed.

Blurb: Have you ever been utterly outclassed by a true genius?

Of course not.

In Zhu Jinming's eyes, she had always believed that she was the true genius.

She began Qi Refining at five, Foundation Establishment at ten, formed her core at sixteen, and reached the Golden Core Great Perfection at eighteen, ready to break through to the Nascent Soul stage at any moment.

Growing up, the looks she saw most often were admiration, envy, reverence, and adoration.

Zhu Jinming certainly deserved to be called a genius.

But all that came to an abrupt end the day she joined Hengyang Sect.

Hengyang Sect was the greatest sect on the continent.

The sect's senior disciple was Ji Lingyun, courtesy name Yanzhi.

He was born into the Ji family, one of the continent's three most prominent clans.

He was already at Great Perfection in Qi Refining at birth, established his foundation at three, formed his core at eight, and reached the Nascent Soul stage at fifteen. Now eighteen, he was already ready to advance to the Golden Core stage.

Zhu Jinming refused to accept it.

After joining Hengyang Sect, she trained relentlessly, day and night. After six months in seclusion, she finally broke through to the Golden Core stage.

The day she emerged from seclusion,

no one in the entire sect congratulated her. Everyone was saying that Senior Brother Ji Lingyun had broken through to the Deity Transformation stage that very day.

It didn't matter.

Few people knew that, apart from cultivation, she had also mastered the art of formations.

But at the talisman-cultivation tournament a month later, Ji Lingyun defeated Zhu Jinming with ease.

Only then did Zhu Jinming learn that the world-famous senior brother of Hengyang Sect could refine pills, forge artifacts, draw talismans, and set up formations.

For the first time, even Zhu Jinming felt a sense of dejection and helplessness welling up from deep within her.

She had exchanged a few brief words with Ji Lingyun on Hengyang Peak, in the Hengyang Mountains.

At the time, he had stood on the highest peak of Hengyang Mountain, smiling with unrestrained confidence and a commanding presence. "Zhu Jinming, I've met plenty of geniuses. But they all call me a genius."

Zhu Jinming was speechless.

Some mountains could not be crossed, and some people could not be compared with.

She had given everything she had to climb from the foot of the mountain to its peak, while there were people who had been standing there since birth.

Perhaps some people really were favored by the heavens from the moment they were born.

She hated Ji Lingyun. She couldn't help envying and loathing him.

After that,

every time Zhu Jinming closed her eyes, she saw the eager, hopeful faces of her parents and the eager praise in everyone's eyes.

She would wake from nightmares, drenched in cold sweat.

She knew she had developed a heart demon.

Ji Lingyun was the source of her heart demon.

She had to stay away from Ji Lingyun. She had to leave Hengyang Sect.

She bid farewell to Hengyang Sect, but before long, before she had the chance to dispel her heart demon, the world changed dramatically. The demon clan rose again. The next time she heard news of Ji Lingyun, the greatest genius in all the world had already died at the hands of the demons.

The demons advanced with overwhelming force, and most of human territory fell into their hands. Before long, Zhu Jinming also died at the hands of a demon cultivator.

Her heart was cut out, but when she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the year she was sixteen, when she had just joined Hengyang Sect.

When she saw Ji Lingyun again, she could only sigh. The greatest genius in all the world had died so young, at just nineteen.

This time,

her heart demon had not yet taken root. She no longer hated Ji Lingyun, but she still couldn't bring herself to like him.

But after living a second life, free of those feelings of envy and loathing, she seemed to notice something unusual.

Ji Lingyun, the greatest genius of Hengyang Sect, seemed to... like her?
