Nothing is more impressive than showing off without realizing it, and Lu Pingping knows this all too well.
She reached the Golden Core realm at fourteen and bonded with a spirit sword at sixteen. No matter how hard she works and competes with those around her, she always says it's nothing worth mentioning.
Then one day, Lu Pingping suddenly discovers she's the female supporting character in a novel about a broken engagement. Her life of showing off for years is all meant to make the male lead's future face-slapping even more satisfying.
A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated!
Lu Pingping throws her head back and shouts, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Don't look down on a young man just because he's poor. When I reclaim my place as the Dragon King, everyone who bullies and humiliates me today will pay in blood!"
The original male lead, just kicked as he walks past:
? You took my line. What am I supposed to say now?!!

No. 2 High is the worst of the worst schools. A new transfer student has arrived recently. Her name is Lu Pingping.
The teachers and students treat her like royalty. After all, they all know she's the Lu family's true genius heiress, someone who has outshone her peers since childhood and has never lost after years of showing off. Lu Pingping herself doesn't disappoint them. Her very first goal after enrolling is:
First, become "Number One in the Class"! Then, become "Number One in the School"! Finally, become "Number One in the Country"!
Everyone is stunned and cries out, "A genius has arrived!!!"
The principal, department heads, homeroom teacher, and students all weep with joy: "No. 2 High is saved!!!! Just wait until our prodigy gets stronger. She'll take first place in the league and wipe away our shame!"
But no one expects that after transferring, Lu Pingping comes in last in her very first assessment. No matter how weak her opponent is, she has the ability to get sent flying by them.
Weak, pitiful, helpless.
As it turns out, when she left the Lu family, her Golden Core was shattered and her bond with her spirit sword was broken. She's become nothing but a cripple...
Lu Pingping slams the table and insists on showing off: "A cripple? I'm just pretending!"
Everyone, by now used to it: (indifferently) "Sure, sure. Sit down, calm down... No, no, no, we didn't say we don't believe you."

Just as everyone takes pity on her, thinking she's fallen from a prodigy to a cripple and will fade into the crowd, the day comes to choose a sword at the Sword Tomb. Lu Pingping calmly walks up to Drunken Moon.
Drunken Moon is the finest sword in the world. It hasn't appeared before the world in a thousand years. Countless people have tried to claim it, but neither the Sword Venerable nor the Demon King, not even the male lead from the original novel, has ever made the haughty Drunken Moon bow.
Everyone turns away, unable to watch, silently counting to themselves and guessing how many seconds it'll take for the divine sword to send Lu Pingping flying. One, two, three...
But in the next instant, the earth shakes and the sun sets as the moon rises...
The divine sword Drunken Moon comes at her invitation.

What happened to the author? I haven't updated for a long time [Tuck my chin]
Come on, come on, come on, author, I'm optimistic about you 💪 💪 💪
"Before Lu Pingping transferred to another school, most of the students in Haicheng, how long did it take to wait for variety shows to answer phone calls, design Kyoto Essence calls, and talk about discussing the country together is a touching story." This really bugged the author~ . . . I don't understand this paragraph [changed]
It looks good. The author should not rest for too long. I look forward to the next update 🤩
