A hilarious stream-of-consciousness story, completely absurd. This story is free to read.
Ye Lin woke up to find herself reincarnated as a cannon-fodder villain in the cultivation world.
Her master was an absentee landlord who was nowhere to be seen all day.
Her senior brother was a sword-cultivation prodigy, but a cultivation deviation turned him into a demonic cultivator.
Her third junior sister came from a family of puppeteers, but was a lovesick fool who took up sword cultivation for love.
Her youngest junior brother was the perfect vessel for the ancient spirit sword Shadow Chaser. He was more or less the only normal person, but... he was also the one who would eventually run her through the heart with his sword.
According to the original owner's memories, she had worked hard for years in her previous life, becoming a model disciple of the sect, only to turn evil overnight, betray her sect, steal a spirit sword, grievously wound her master, and finally die at her junior brother's hands. What a tragic life.
As for why the original owner became a villain, as far as Ye Lin could tell, she had no idea.
All she knew was that her sect had always been full of hidden talents and oddballs.
Oh, well. She had been the villain back then, after all.
To avoid meeting the same fate, Ye Lin had no choice but to plan her own way to survive:
Don't betray the sect. Don't steal the spirit sword. Don't hurt her master. And get along with the only normal person in the sect, her junior brother.
Under Ye Lin's cautious plans, the story unfolded just as she hoped. But she gradually realized that the “only normal person” from the original owner's memories wasn't quite as... normal as she had imagined.
“I want to be the only one in Senior Sister's eyes.”
“Senior Sister didn't come to watch me practice my sword today. Did you go see someone else?”
“I only waited five hours early. I haven't slept since the day before yesterday, just thinking about going on a mission with Senior Sister...”
He even returned from a mission badly wounded and covered in blood, stumbled into her room, and murmured, “As I thought, even if I die, I still want to be buried with Senior Sister...”
Ye Lin: ?
It's over. This sect is completely doomed.
