[A writing exercise. My writing is extremely, extremely, extremely clumsy, and I admit it myself, so please go easy on me.]
[Serious version] I wake from a dream into a absurd world, with a boundless heart within. One sword subdues the heavens; I ride the phoenix and soar above the clouds!
[Normal version] (It really is a little melodramatic)
A feel-good power fantasy!
Sheng Yunhuai had a rough start in her previous life. She was abandoned in the lower realm as a child and fought desperately to cultivate her way back to the Brahma Realm, only to find that a so-called “replacement” had long since taken her place.
Her birth parents: “Chi’er is pure of heart. Don’t keep bullying her!”
Her older brother: “Stop trying to take Chi’er’s things. It’s disgusting.”
Her younger brother: “You think you deserve to be my sister? I only have Sister Chi. How can you be so selfish and vicious?”
The master her family forced her to bow to forcibly sacrificed her Green Lotus Spirit Seed to improve Sheng Yunchi’s talent.
After she won a sword duel, the Demon Venerable who adored Sheng Yunchi crippled her innate sword bones on the spot.
A friend whose life she had saved fell for Sheng Yunchi, turned against her without hesitation, and attacked her from behind.
Sheng Yunhuai’s fate was full of hardship, yet her talent was peerless, destined to ascend. In the end, she fought four opponents at once, a Great Ascension cultivator slaying a Profound Immortal, and they perished together.
Given the chance to start over, Sheng Yunhuai decided that so-called family, affection, masters, and friends were all nonsense. She wanted none of them.
I’ll ride the phoenix and soar straight above the clouds!
