[Blurb]
There are no words to describe Liu Zhi's face now.
Tiny eyes and thick lips set in a flat landscape, her skin a rugged terrain full of bumps and hollows. As ugly as a miscarriage of justice, as fat as a balloon about to burst, she looks nothing like she did in her previous life... She's practically fainting ( ). This face is shamelessly awful. She has to find a way to fix it... or else find a time machine!
Jiangnan's rain is delicate as silk, and its women are gentle as water. In her previous life, Liu Zhi may not have been gentle as water, but she was still a flower of the countryside. What on earth did she do to deserve such a fate? It would be bad enough to turn ugly, but the Jiangnan where her body now lives isn't that Jiangnan. It's south of the Han River, in a district of Seoul.
Liu Zhi breaks down. Afterward, her tears fall onto the mole on the left side of her chin, activating the portable space that has been done to death in novels.
*
Emotions are the source of power. Inside the space is a cultivation technique that requires nurturing a spirit with emotions, then giving it form.
Reach enlightenment through emotions? Liu Zhi, who's been single since birth: ...Wouldn't it be better to bash my head in right here in this lousy rental? Who wants to date? Can I just start over again?
Too scared to die, Liu Zhi has no choice but to drag her thoroughly unimpressive body along and do her best to stay alive.
She tempers her body, improves her bearing, purifies her voice, and builds her stamina... Along the way, Liu Zhi becomes an online celebrity and goes through the hardships of being a trainee. When she fails to debut in a girl group, she decides to shine as a beautiful solo artist instead.
Nurture a spirit with emotions, then grow indifferent through too much love. Liu Zhi is quite content to be a heartbreaker, but the line of people waiting for her keeps getting longer.
Many original details; names are puns.
A story of growth and a comeback, not exactly a power fantasy. Multiple ex-boyfriends, most of them plot devices. The main pairing is undecided.
Theme: As long as one thought remains, this ambition will never falter.
