The thing Ji Qing regretted most in her life was not kicking Xiao Shixu down Mount Jiulu the day she inherited her family's spiritual power.
If not for him, how would she have ended up in such a sorry state?
Not only did she fail to inherit her family's spiritual power, but as soon as she came down the mountain, someone knocked her unconscious and stuffed her into a carriage. When she woke up, she found herself surrounded by a bunch of sobbing girls.
They were all about to be sacrificed to an evil cultivator as ingredients for an alchemy pill!
Ji Qing: Thanks. Bad luck, be gone. Go, go, go.
Even after the evil cultivator finished attacking her, Ji Qing was still over there studying his wicked cultivation techniques.
"Fellow Daoist, what did you put on this? Will you share the recipe? That hidden weapon of yours looks pretty good too. Name your price. Would you sell it to me?"
Evil cultivator: ???
After finally fighting her way out, she became a bodyguard, traveling with a whole group in tow. Along the way, she even picked up a fluffy little puppy?!
Ji Qing looked at her "dream team" and fell into thought. Weren't we supposed to revive the family? How did I end up collecting underlings?
As for the son of the Xiao family who had betrayed her, she heard he had requested exile to the purgatory of Chidu Prefecture, where he endured the agony of soulfire burning him day after day.
Chains pierced his bones, blood ran freely, and he knelt in a pool of blood like an abandoned dog.
When they met again, he clutched the hem of her clothes, eyes red-rimmed.
"Qing'er, give me one more chance..."
Ji Qing looked down at him and took out the little notebook she carried with her.
"Don't rush. Let me study how this repentance routine of yours works."
She's a professional at studying exes. (Confident face.)
Reader's guide:
1. A groveling male lead who begs for forgiveness and plays the victim.
2. A = a heroine obsessed with collecting unorthodox, wicked techniques; B = a male lead who accidentally finds himself on the path of cultivating unorthodox, wicked techniques. A ∩ B = Hehehe...
(P.S. By unorthodox, wicked techniques, I mean nonstandard cultivation methods, not just evil cultivation methods.)
3. The heroine's abilities grow according to how much of her family's power she has collected.
4. The male and female leads will be apart for the early part of the story, and they'll have long phone calls, haha.
5. The heroine will have lots of little followers of all kinds, haha. If you have a type you like, make a wish in the comments!
6. I'm trying hard to figure out how to blend traditional culture into the story...
Theme: What kind of past can determine who I am?
