[The blurb has been revised, but the central trope is unchanged: after transmigrating, the heroine is forced into a relationship.]
After transmigrating, I discover that I'm completely naked. When I look up, I see a stunningly beautiful man staring at me. I think he's a pervert, but it turns out he's my creator, my "father."
He carved this body out of jade. Since my soul hasn't adjusted to it, I often freeze in place for no reason. So until I can move like a normal person, I have to stay in a little stone cave.
Through my fragmented dreams each night, I finally understand my situation.
I've transmigrated into a novel about a forced relationship, and my "father" is the male lead. The mother who gave me flesh and blood was driven to the end of her rope by him and now lies asleep in a cold coffin of ice.
I was created to serve as a key, using my spiritual power to open a secret realm and revive my mother.
After learning all this, I start to dislike him. Whenever I see him, I no longer feel the joy I used to. He sees right through me but doesn't explain. Once I've adjusted, he leaves me in the care of his disciples to be taught.
But I don't get along very well with my four senior brothers.
The eldest is like a fox, always languid in speech and manner, and loves teasing me. The second and third are twins, and their eyes are always full of scrutiny and suspicion when they look at me. The fourth is a wooden beauty; we can sit silently side by side all morning.
But my "father" and I haven't completely lost touch.
Every month, I have to go to his courtyard so he can examine the spiritual power inside me. But I don't like cultivating and always slack off, so my progress is poor month after month.
Until the third month, when he seems unable to wait any longer and asks which senior brother I'd like to cultivate dual cultivation with.
I call him a lunatic and rush out the door.
But I forget that he's the male lead in a forced-relationship story. There isn't a single trick he won't use.
That very night, I'm trapped in my fourth senior brother's room.
Reader's guide:
1. There is no romance whatsoever between the "father" and the mother mentioned in the blurb. The reason will be explained in the story.
2. It mixes together all kinds of melodramatic tropes, including forced relationships, brothers turning against each other, and love turning to hate. If that's not your thing, read with caution.
3. I still write according to my personal tastes, and this is still a dark story. I can't guarantee every reader will enjoy it, so please stop reading if it's not for you.
4. All-in, but with a horror ending (that is, although the heroine returns to the modern world at the end, she's still entangled with them).
5. My take on cultivation. The levels are based on Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and so on.
