After My Junior Sister's Golden Core Was Dug Out

The junior sister in a xianxia novel always looks frail and sickly, beloved by everyone. In truth, she's a player who reels people in, dripping with affected sweetness.

Xu Niaoniao transmigrated into Feng Yu Xian Ming as the junior sister, a supporting character who played a major part in making the male lead chase after his wife. She survived through half the book before finally making an unwilling exit.

But by the time she arrived, the heroine had been reborn and defied fate. Not only did she see through the green tea act and kick the scumbag to the curb, she also fell in love with the male lead's junior uncle, the most talented person in the immortal sect, and became his destined cultivation partner.

The original junior sister, meanwhile, had her false facade torn away and was despised by everyone. After failing to frame the heroine, she was disfigured and expelled from Jianmen Sect. Then someone cut out her Golden Core, and she died.

At the thought, Xu Niaoniao drew a sharp breath. The empty, searing pain in her abdomen kept reminding her that the original owner had just had her Golden Core cut out. Desperate to survive, she grabbed at anything within reach. With her last bit of awareness, her palm brushed against a corner of gray fabric.

Xu Niaoniao was taken home by Chi Wuwei.

*

Chi Wuwei was a low-ranking disciple of Xuanjian Sect, and his talent was just as low. He was the only person in the vast Xuanjian Sect who had practiced for five years and still couldn't perform even the simplest sword technique.

Xu Niaoniao watched him get kicked so badly he couldn't get out of bed for half a month. He had to beg humbly just to get an extra quilt for her. People stole all his food, and to keep hold of his one and only fasting pill, he stuffed it into his stomach, then forced it back up, coughing blood.

He was very thin, all skin and bones, and very pale. Yet even after all he'd been through, he still looked dignified and handsome.

At first, he took her in only because he wanted to practice a healing technique that wasn't particularly refined but was still usable.

She was the one who said she would avenge him someday.

She was the one who said she would heal his meridians.

And she was the one who said she would take him away from here.

So he kept her.

But staying alive was already hard. Repairing her Golden Core was hard, and tempering her cultivation was harder still.

Her promises didn't sound real. They sounded like a con.

And Chi Wuwei was a tough, stubborn man who had been conned out of everything he had.

At first, when Xu Niaoniao couldn't do anything and could even bring trouble down on them, Chi Wuwei protected her with his own tough hide, bit by bit helping her find a firm footing in Xuanjian Sect.

So later, the more Xu Niaoniao loved Chi Wuwei, the more she hated Xuanjian Sect.
