[Blurb]
Ruo Mei was forced to jump into a well.
The good news: she survived.
The bad news: a strange bone somehow possessed her.
The really good news: everyone from her town who was killed by the neighboring town is still alive in the well.
The neither-good-nor-bad news: a group of people found her and insisted that the thing inside her was some kind of Evil King's Bone. They begged her to become their sect leader and swore to follow her for the rest of their lives.
Ruo Mei thought about it and decided it might not be a bad idea.
She considered herself an ordinary person and had no idea what it meant to treat everyone equally, but if they wanted to follow her, that was fine by her.
Still, she had to avenge the people from her town who had been slaughtered by the neighboring town.
But she had always been lenient with others. If they admitted their mistakes sincerely and took the initiative to apologize, perhaps she could forgive them.

[From the Villains' Perspective]
Even as they lay dying, the Wang family couldn't understand how a little girl who had had her meridians crippled and been forced to jump into a well just days ago had suddenly appeared in town to rob them, despite the guards watching every checkpoint.
And she had brought a group of ferocious-looking people with her.
Now the little girl was completely unharmed and impossible to kill. A huge, glowing tongue could even emerge from her belly.
As everyone stood there in terror, they heard Ruo Mei ask with a smile:
"Do you admit to murdering the people of Guixian Town?"
"If you confess willingly," the girl's smile grew increasingly exaggerated, her mouth stretching almost to her ears as the enormous tongue in her belly stirred, "don't worry. I will grant you all eternal peace and tranquility."
[Reading Guide]
1. An innocent heroine with a sinister streak, plus a touch of natural-born villainy.
2. There may be a bit of Chinese-style cosmic horror. A Tale of Wreaking Havoc in the Cultivation World and this novel share a world, but have different protagonists. The heroine of this story will make a cameo in A Tale of Wreaking Havoc in the Cultivation World.
3. Please add it to your reading list. I'm begging you :(
