The Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Heroine Refuses to Be Human

Pei Xuehe rose to fame at a young age, taking first place on the Cultivation World's Soaring Clouds Ranking at fifteen.

A gifted prodigy, proud and unruly, she roamed the world with her sword, vanquishing demons and defending the righteous.

Until her friends and family betrayed her, leaving her surrounded on Yandang Peak.

The friends and family of old, even her closest teachers, seemed to have become entirely different people:

"Pei Xuehe, you're nothing but an orphan with no powerful clan to back you. You dared to act so recklessly in the Cultivation World. You brought this on yourself!"

"Senior Sister, as long as you live, you'll keep us all under your thumb. We'd all be better off if you died!"

Her teachers urged her to surrender meekly and let them refine her into a human pill. They would preserve a sliver of her consciousness and turn her into a sword puppet, there to be commanded by anyone.

Looking around at the betrayal and abandonment, with nowhere left to run, Pei Xuehe awakened the ancient demon bloodline within her and tore through space before everyone's eyes.

Pei Xuehe: "Well, would you look at that! Turns out I'm not human. What a mess!"

The Demon Realm believes that the young lord of the Feng Clan, lost for years and finally found, is nothing but a pretty face, an aristocratic wastrel who can neither study nor fight.

That is, until the Three Realms Tournament, when one sword strike soared through the air and shook the assembled heroes.

Pei Xuehe: ???

Believe it or not, when I got back to the Demon Realm, I started by learning to read. Why don't the Cultivation World and the Demon Realm use the same writing?

Help! What do I do when my ancient demon bloodline lets me ascend just by lying around?

A satisfying revenge story with some comedy. The heroine is mischievous.

Every villain will get what's coming to them.

The antagonists include both men and women.

Theme: Draw your blade and live boldly, true to the fire of youth.
