Me, a Good-for-Nothing, Aspire to Reach the Heavens

Here, you'll play an illegitimate daughter of the Jiang family, a good-for-nothing who is bullied at every turn:

To make your opening experience more immersive, you'll be given several scheming concubines, siblings who love to stir up trouble, and a father who favors his legitimate children.

Of course, these are just the appetizers.

Everything only begins after you leave the Jiang Manor map.

You'll meet an innocent yet cruel blind boy, a mysterious girl who casually sheds her clothes, an overbearing young master with a commanding presence, or a beautiful beast tamer with a mercurial temperament... Do your best to get them into your debt, or they'll kill you before long.

You may also meet friends you can trust with your back, or a lover who captures your heart, but remember: anyone in this world could become your mortal enemy.

Oh, and don't forget the most important thing: if you want to reach the heavens, you must first defy them.

[Serious Story Blurb]

#Among countless men in this world, every one of them must bow before her#

In her previous life, Wen Jiuxi was the daughter of the greatest military family in the land, beautiful as ice and snow, with the looks of a goddess. She was peerless.

The new emperor had announced to all under heaven that he would make her his empress, yet on the eve of their wedding, an imperial decree condemning her entire family to death sent her to the executioner's block.

When she opened her eyes again, she had become Jiang Jiuxi, an illegitimate daughter of the Jiang family: lowborn, timid, incompetent, and bullied by everyone.

Her enemy had already sat on the throne for twenty-five years, high above all others, with a household full of children.

No path to revenge? Worlds apart? An unbridgeable chasm?

She just smiled.

“So what if there is no path? I'll make a road to the heavens open for me.”

“What I seek in this life: first, to love and hate as I please; second, to achieve all I desire; third, to stand tall and proud.”

[From a good-for-nothing who couldn't lift a sword to a legend recorded in the history books]

*

Later generations knew only that Jiang Jiuxi was peerless and had done immeasurable good. How many remembered that he, too, had once been brilliant and unmatched?

But he was willing to do it, and never regretted it.

Since Jiang Jiuxi aspired to soar above the clouds, he would rein in his own brilliance and become the cloud beneath her feet, sending her into the vast sky to claim boundless lands and rivers.

Though he bore a blood feud, he never once used her; though the poisonous parasite tormented him day and night, he still overcame it for her.

“Love is too difficult for you and me. Jiang Jiuxi, I love you, but I can't bear to make you fall for me.”

[Reading Guide]

1. The golden finger isn't powerful. The heroine will become the best among her peers later on. This is not a case of the male lead being even stronger than the strong female lead.

2. Plot-focused, with romance as a secondary element. One-on-one, both leads are virgins, happy ending.

3. Many female characters get their moments to shine. The heroine isn't the only outstanding woman. In the early domestic-intrigue arc, there are some one-dimensional villainous men and women for the heroine to gain experience against. Please don't read if that bothers you.

4. Everyone has the right to comment. I won't delete comments or silence anyone. But I hope readers will leave kind words and treat others with kindness, and they will receive kindness in return.
