Cultivating Immortality in My Spare Time

Mu Ziyan is a cultivation-world oddity, blessed with extraordinary talent but unwilling to put in the work. She’d planned to coast along, eating and drinking until she ascended. But then the world fell into chaos: her senior sister fell in love with the Fourth Prince and wanted to elope, the sect of the man she loved went to the mortal realm in search of fame and fortune, and her best friend’s father rebelled and declared himself emperor… That year, the Heavenly Dog swallowed the sun, and the Three Demons were reborn. She wanted no part of the chaos, but couldn’t escape the battle to seal the demons. She lost people she couldn’t bear to lose. Power plays, fame, fortune, the whole world… The peaceful days she wanted to hold on to slipped away all the same. It was all like a great dream… (After finishing this, I felt the synopsis sounded way too grandiose. The story itself will have a lighter feel. There’ll be political intrigue, of course, but overall it’s the blood, sweat, and tears of a rogue heroine chasing the male lead while all sorts of supporting characters keep steering her off course. So it’s not purely a romance. In short, I want to write a heroine who’s incredibly capable, fiery, and carefree.)
