Li Xi transmigrates into the cultivation world of a comic, becoming the story's biggest cannon-fodder character. Disguised as a man under a secret identity, she just wants to lie low and survive in a world crawling with powerful figures.
Instead, she lies low her way into becoming the biggest powerhouse in the cultivation world, a feared leader of demons and monsters.
When Li Xi sees the obsessive male lead sharpening his knives in jealous fury, she swats him aside with a single palm strike. “Sorry, but I'm the biggest shot in this story.”
A crowd of demons and monsters wants her to reclaim control of the cultivation world and become their great demon leader. She gives them all a fond pat on the head. “Sweethearts, don't call me a demon lord. Call me the leader of the Sun Moon Divine Sect.”
The demons and monsters are baffled: “??”
She switches into teaching mode, helping old ladies cross the street and telling them to hand in any money they find to their leader…
And so the cultivation world loses a whole bunch of demons and monsters, because they now call themselves a Divine Sect outside the orthodox path.
The senior disciples ask: “What about us?”
The characters begin acting out scenes unlike anything in the original book: a transmigrator into a book who disrupts the story and watches the chaos unfold, a reborn master, the original female lead turned assassin, and the original male lead turned madman.
Li Xi pulls at the tangled red strings in her hands. “Don't rush. I'm just here to match you all up.”
The cultivation world's fiercest sword spirit gazes at her fondly. “When you're done playing, come home. I'll warm your bed.”
This is the story of a cannon-fodder character who transmigrates into a book and is forced to become the strongest, taking up her sword to cut through every obstacle on her path to ascension.
The heroine seems cheerful and adorable, but is actually cold-hearted. The hero is a pampered, sickly young master who clings to her.

The author's writing isn't very good, but it's still quite interesting to read. If you set aside all preconceived notions and approach it with a learning attitude, the experience is quite different.
My review is here.
The synopsis doesn't match the content, and the male lead's character also doesn't match the synopsis. There's little to no laugh-out-loud humor; the story is primarily tragic with secondary comedic elements. The plot is good; I haven't seen a plot like this before, it's very novel. The writing style felt a bit odd at first, but you'll get used to it.
The plot is good, but the way it's written is a bit of a shame.
The plot twist was truly unexpected and sudden; the selection of the male lead was quite a rollercoaster ride, and in the end, it was his mentor.
