The Junior Sister Awakens and Exposes the Black Lotus, Sending the Whole Sect to the Crematorium

In her previous life, Shen Qing poured her heart and soul into winning the approval of everyone in her sect, only to be run through the heart by her master. Her spiritual bones were ripped out, and her senior brother threw her to the demons to be devoured. She died a horrific death.

After being reborn, she finally learned that she was the vicious supporting woman in a black-lotus female-lead novel, an insignificant cannon-fodder character.

In this life, she cut off all attachments, broke free of the plot, kept her distance from the black-lotus heroine, and refused to be a lapdog for her sect ever again.

But her senior brothers wouldn’t let it go. One after another, they came begging for her forgiveness.

Her aloof master dug out his own spiritual bones and humbly pleaded with Shen Qing to turn back and look at him just once.

The upright and proper eldest senior brother’s eyes reddened as he volunteered to enter the demon lair and suffer the punishment of being gnawed by ten thousand demons.

The second senior brother, who had once indulged in worldly pleasures, gave up his desires and severed his emotional ties. He even disfigured himself to save Shen Qing.

The sword-obsessed third senior brother, who loved his sword more than life itself, destroyed the very life-bound sword that had once wounded Shen Qing.

Her arrogant twin younger brothers developed inner demons, shattered their own golden cores, and descended into demonic cultivation.

They thought that doing all this would make Shen Qing forgive them.

But Shen Qing only smiled. “You only come to fuss over me after my heart’s gone cold. Even a dog wouldn’t want your concern.”
