You Treated Your Stand-In Like a Treasure? Now That I’ve Cut Ties, the Whole Sect Regrets It

Jiang Ningxi couldn't understand why her master, foster brother, and childhood sweetheart, who had always doted on her, were treating her this way over a newly arrived female cultivator. For Su Ran's sake, her master, who had always scrupulously followed the rules, was willing to break the sect's regulations just to take her as a direct disciple, turning Jiang Ningxi, his only direct disciple, into a laughingstock. They indulged Su Ran's caprices and mischief, but when it came to Jiang Ningxi, they wouldn't allow her to make even the slightest mistake. Because she was the descendant of a hero, she had to do everything perfectly, without the smallest error. Whenever something involved Su Ran, they invariably took her side. They were even willing to sacrifice Jiang Ningxi herself. They stole her fortune and gave everything that belonged to her to Su Ran. They even set their sights on her supreme water spirit root and her sword physique. After they cruelly dug out her water spirit root to give to Su Ran, the last traces of affection she felt for them were shattered. She left the Wuji Sword Sect without a backward glance, and only then did Sword Venerable Yun Jing and the others panic, searching for her until they were nearly driven mad. It was only then that Jiang Ningxi realized Su Ran was merely a stand-in, someone they used to hide their feelings for her. They had long since fallen for her, but didn't dare cross the boundaries of their relationship or defy convention. She found it laughable. Sword Venerable Yun Jing and the others hurried to confess their feelings, but she was already in the Demon Realm. Reborn through demonic cultivation, she shocked the world. With someone new by her side, she no longer wanted to spare them a glance. She had once been constrained by countless rules. Now, she would break those shackles with her own hands. The unorthodox path is forbidden, and the righteous sects are the only way forward? Then she would walk that unorthodox path herself and see what was so wrong with it!
