Synopsis
Yun Can woke up to find herself inside a cultivation novel.
Her transmigration journey wasn't like the novels, with all kinds of golden fingers and lucky encounters.
She excitedly called for the System, called for a golden finger...
Yun Can was dismayed to discover that she really was just an ordinary person. Apart from having transmigrated, fate hadn't given her any special treatment.
Yun Can was scared. Yun Can silently hugged herself...
In this cultivation world, where immortals flew everywhere and spells filled the skies, things weren't as wonderful as they seemed.
Yun Can met a young man.
He was taciturn, but incredibly strong.
Yun Can wanted to do her best to survive in this world, so she bravely clung to his leg.
She sent him a request to team up.
The young man: Accepted.
And so they set off together to explore the cultivation world.
You might wonder why Yun Can didn't suspect the young man had some special identity. After all, this was a novel world.
There was a simple reason: the young man's name was “You Dashan.”
Mm, a very reassuring name.
Yun Can didn't want to get mixed up in the main characters' business. She just wanted to stay out of trouble and save her own skin. After learning that the young man's name was so reassuring, Yun Can happily followed him.
As the bond between Yun Can and the young man grew deeper,
just as Yun Can began to fall more and more for him, fate dealt her a crushing blow.
The young man was the second male lead, destined to love the heroine without being loved in return.
Yun Can: So cliche, but that's reality.
And the young man's name wasn't You Dashan. His name was Song Yan. It was a lovely name, and a very novel-worthy name.
Yun Can: ...I'm just going to die right here.
Yun Can had still held on to a tiny bit of hope for the young man. They'd shared so many years of comradeship, after all. Surely he had to feel something for her? Even if it was just friendship, Yun Can would grit her teeth and accept it, keeping her feelings to herself.
As it turned out, the best way to manage your expectations is to have none.
During an ordinary demon-hunting mission, Yun Can, a cannon-fodder character without even a name in the book, was dismayed to realize that she didn't have to wait until the ending. The plot could quietly erase her in a little accident like this.
In that small accident, Yun Can's death seemed to cause no ripple at all.
Yun Can missed home, her mother's freshly cooked meals, the fans whirring in her classroom during summer, and the noisy cicadas outside the window.
Yun Can wanted to go home.
Yun Can didn't want to transmigrate, didn't want to meet “You Dashan,” and didn't want to get tangled up with the main characters.
A young girl's first crush had ended in spectacular failure.

After being reborn, Yun Can settled in a small village.
This ordinary village was far from the cultivation world, and Yun Can loved its peaceful days without fighting and killing. They were simple and lovely, though it would have been even better if she could go home.
But she never expected that news from the cultivation world would reach this small village, where information traveled slowly. People talked about the swordsmanship genius, the True Lord Xiaofa Song Yan, who had once astonished the Sixteen Provinces with a single sword strike. He was searching everywhere for his missing Dao Companion. It seemed he had gone mad.
Yun Can didn't care. Yun Can just wanted to go home.
Theme: Struggle against fate.
