[A first-person writing exercise, a short story with 4+1 chapters in total. One chapter will be posted each day, then it will be moved to the short-story archive.]

After my mission failed, I massacred the imperial palace.

I was an ordinary woman living in seclusion on a mountain.

I didn't know where I had come from. I only vaguely remembered that I couldn't find my way home.

Until one day, something calling itself a System found me.

She said that if I helped the Child of Destiny become empress, she could restore my memories and send me home.

I agreed.

I failed.

On the day of his coronation as emperor, I lay in a small courtyard in the bitter wind, waiting for the System to erase me.

"Beep! Erasure failed!"

When I opened my eyes again, I remembered my past.

Coming soon: The Cultivation Journey of the Beloved Junior Sister

Blurb:

Tao Xiaoshuang woke up to find herself transmigrated into the cultivation novel she'd been following, as a cannon-fodder character who died right at the start.

Tao Xiaoshuang, who was no good at anything, decided that her personality and upbringing weren't suited to life in the cultivation world, so she resolved to seek survival in the mortal world.

But fate had other plans. While she was out shopping, Tao Xiaoshuang was picked up and carried back to the cultivation world by the sect master of Xuan Yun Sect, who loved picking up disciples wherever he went.

Cultivation world, here I come again! Cultivation world, hello!

Wu Xingzhu: "Well, I already picked you up, and it's not like I can't afford to raise you. Come on, become my disciple!"

And so Tao Xiaoshuang was forced to become the disciple of the sect master of Xuan Yun Sect, ranked last among the eight great sects, and suddenly gained eight senior brothers.

Each of the eight senior brothers had their own strengths, and each had their own way of dying.

What else could she do?

She could only do her best to change the future of this sect, which was destined to be destroyed.

She'd start with her seventh senior brother, who would be killed by his own demon sword.

Daily life in the sect:

First Senior Brother: "Junior Sister, why are you staring at me?"

Facing her First Senior Brother, who was destined to die surrounded by enemies, Tao Xiaoshuang said, "First Senior Brother, you have to work hard at your cultivation so you can protect the sect."

Her First Senior Brother smiled gently. "All right, I'll work a little harder. You have to work hard too, Junior Sister."

Facing her Seventh Senior Brother, whose demon sword would turn on him, Tao Xiaoshuang smiled. "Seventh Senior Brother, have you been working hard at your cultivation today?"

Her Seventh Senior Brother glanced at his life-bound sword, which was going berserk nearby. "I'm working on it, I'm working on it."

Facing her Eighth Senior Brother, who would mysteriously disappear, Tao Xiaoshuang said pitifully, "Eighth Senior Brother, I'm scared~"

Her Eighth Senior Brother thumped his chest. "From now on, wherever you are, Junior Sister, I'll be there too. I'll protect you!"

Tao Xiaoshuang: Hehe (*^ω^*)Y
