She was a junior medical cultivator of the Five Elements Sect, and the Ye family's true-born daughter.
But her entire family favored the fake heiress and looked down on her as a country bumpkin.
Then she saw the comments floating across the screen and learned the truth:
She was nothing but the vicious supporting female character in a book. In The Fake Heiress, Darling of All and Sect Prodigy, the beloved, universally adored heroine was the fake heiress.
She was the universally despised villainess, meant to make the fake heiress heroine look flawless.
Her bloodline and dantian were to be given to the heroine. Then the heroine would drain her spiritual power and steal her fortune, leaving her to die. Even her corpse would be thrown to the Ye family's dogs.
Ye Chu turned away coldly and headed straight for the Five Elements Sect's apprenticeship ceremony.
What vicious supporting character? What universally despised girl?
She refused to play along.
Her lovesick senior brother was always feeling sorry for the heroine? She put on a spectacular show of playing the victim.
Her frail, sickly fourth senior brother kept exhausting himself to make medicine for the heroine? She knocked him out with a single swing of her stick.
Her aloof, scheming third senior brother wanted to sacrifice himself for the heroine? She pulled a sack over him in one smooth move.
All she wanted was to keep her master and senior brothers safe. So how had things ended up with everyone from the sect's battle champion to the outer disciples who barely got a line chasing after her?
Later, when her parents and older brothers from the Ye family finally came to their senses, they knelt at the mountain gate with red eyes and begged Ye Chu for forgiveness. The whole sect wasn't having it:
"Late-blooming love is cheaper than grass. Get lost!"
