Office worker Yang Zanxing, after working overtime for five consecutive days, transmigrated into an old-school male-oriented cultivation power fantasy novel she had read last month, successfully becoming a female cannon fodder who appeared for only three thousand words before being killed by the male protagonist’s palm strike for framing his childhood sweetheart.

Yang Zanxing: What’s the deal???

The office worker who knew the plot let out a deafening cry: My fate is in my own hands, not heaven’s!

However…
The Demon Shark from forty years ago returns for revenge, Divine Maiden’s Ruins left behind in secret realms, the withered Serpent Witch Clan reappears in the mortal world, and the legendary Divine Sword sees daylight again…

Is God unable to play fair??

Facing the gradually escalating plot difficulty, Zanxing has only one goal: to survive until the grand finale.

—Destiny is something that will happen no matter what, no matter how you struggle, the ending will not change.
—I insist on changing it.

9/2/25 I am bereft this is my last QSCK book and she's seemingly not even got any in the works? I'm too 😭 to even look. Xianxia is simply NOT MY GENRE - and QSCK leaned HARD into the tropes which ugh. But it was ... slightly mitigated by the fact that I felt it was a bit tongue in cheek/she KNEW. Which ... the fact that it was intentional - ARGH. But then there was that whole "savior of the world" thing - and the twist that she's "evil" only NOT. (Bit of an eyeroll to the soul fragment thing, although at least there was the hint of it - and I definitely DID want her back and them together, so there is that.)
Will I re-read it ? ... Actually maybe. But would I definitely be rereading General, Deng Hua Xiao, Malicious Empress, or Ill Fated Consort first/over it? Likely yes. Felt there were too many "this is stupid/plot hole/mistake" things - which again - tropey since QSCK does NOT do that in - at least not to this degree - in her other books. Argh.

But holy cow batman I cried SO MUCH near the end. [Sad for once I've got like 0 interest in the extras. At least the parents. I think ESP cuz the last ones are the tragic shit of her dad and the human woman - WHY BOTHER/END ON A SHITTY NOTE, MAN?!]
Plus her sacrifice thing - felt that was too rushed/glossed over. And she was INSANELY/bafflingly chill at what the "righteous sects" did too her. And the instigators etc not suffering any consequences. Grr.

B++ ... maybe B+++
~*~*~*~
ZanXing

1 Yang ZanXing is the host? And engaged to Wang Shao?
Mu Cengxiao is the protagonist of the book

3 but 😅 seems like she’s stolen all his shit (Seriously what was up with that snail)
Dude just a few minutes and she’s near foundation establishment?!

5 aww her servant Hongsu is so loyal. (And kinda the coachman)

8 lol but omg to Wang Shao bring her atm. Seems he doesn’t care for her at all so why would he pay for everything? 🤷🏻‍♀️

9 ok well Duan Xiangrao is a cunt and I hope she dies a miserable death soon

11 ok but imo it was stupid AF to break off the engagement & get nothing. What about her compensation?! Dummy you have no money!!!

18 lol srsly this novel fucking dog blood making DXR her roommate AYFKM 🙄😒

20 I have been wheeze laughing for over a minute at the special book for her smiting a Barbie pink aura 😹😹😹☠️☠️☠️☠️

25 yay she won - of course

29 oof tough 2nd battle but yay of course she wins!

34 both Hua Yue & DXR need to die. FL can’t beat them now but they seriously need to be eliminated

35 ok what was up with that green “min candy” she swallowed that let her float

36 🤷🏻‍♀️ golden egg

37 ohhh is 7th sect uncle the ML?!?

38 😹☠️ yeah we already don’t like Gu Baiying “Other novels: ML saves FL from her enemies
Zanxing: ML saves her enemies from FL”

39 QSCK I’m so mad at you throwing dog blood around this is so stupid FL “being unable to explain herself” this is all so infuriating & stupid as shit

41 eee a blue eyed white fluffy kitten hatched from the golden egg!!!

42 yo imo she needs to be WAY more concerned about that red mark on her hand…
Poor not little silver moon lion - I hope it becomes incredible! ❤️💯

43 🙄🙄🙄😒😒😒 of course GBY is dying. Dammit author
lol 🙊 that green thing she ate was def supposed to be for GBY huh. lol serves him right, asshole

44 🙈🤦🏻‍♀️ no. Girl. Don’t be stupid and try to pursue him 😖

45 oops that qinchong seed was even more precious than I thought - it can repair her spiritual veins?

46 Mimi cat! Imma need you to do better!

47 😹☠️ must dual cultivate lol QSCK you bitch you went ALL in on this xianxia mess

56 lol her silly little ritual saved her! (Seriously though how is HY still allowed to do all this shady shit)

58 Why was she spit out if she defeated the Mo Sha?

59 yay Xuan Lingzhi is now her direct shifu! And he chose Tian Fangfang & Mu too.

66-67 seriously Men Dong & GBY aren’t funny now they’re just annoying AF

Ok I like how playful Shaoyang Zhenren is…

71 no but why couldn’t she pick a weapon in the armory

Wait what up through 72 was only the first arc “quest for immortality”?! I’m annoyed at how much FL is letting Hongsu feed Mimi (and how much she did too) like… don’t abuse the cat dammit

75 😹☠️ QSCK really is OBSESSED with ML saving FL at the last second

79 >.> did ML hear the bell ring? Or at least do SOMETHING?!

87 Men Dong is super irritating. Biggest pig teammate. Self righteous, stupid, LOUD.

96 the little boy the princess saved, the mute guard who gave her the blue conch shell - that’s the actual shark demon right? The killer “demon” was the emperor. But who is the copycat now & why

105 😿 poor little lovely in love Yin Li “shark demon”

106 😐 does Yin Ying care about his twin at all?

108 Yin Li’s story made me tear up - even though I KNEW it’d be like that. I’m mad at the stupid princess even as I know it’s not Linzhi’s fault. Yet she shot him in the tail.

111 ugly crying at the Yin twins tragedy
(Does the portrait the demon wants look like FL?)

113 shark demon arc over. ☹️ poor Yin Li

114 ugh 😒 in text “My apologies for the mistake. Let me correct that” I bet this “translator” used some GenAI shit

115 I get why but I’m so sad Yin Li erased the princess’s memories as his last act 😭

128 ok the woman in the portrait - the hut - it’s def ML’s mom right? Is his dad some demon?

129 honestly maybe I just haven’t read enough xianxia but I think it’s stupid AF FL just decided that palm thing is her going against the plot so she’s deliberately keeping basic. Bitch what if it’s some demon thing you still have traces in you dummy just this is so fucking stupid. Either it’s rage inducingly stupid or the author better explain it ASAP 😡
(Also if this… is this Fairy Qinghua’s consciousness? Is she dead?)

131 his dad is Gu Caiyu? Who is that? And dude if/since he has his dad’s surname how does nobody know who ML’s dad is?!

135 oof his dad was a carefree hidden genius who actually guided his mom

136 oh no she had to personally kill GCY cuz that demon lord put the remainder of his soul in him. Poor couple

165 ahhhhhh the bell rang!!!!!!!!!

172 oof illusion arc over. At least we have some relationship development

173 Bwahaha “From outside came a familiar call, “Seventh Uncle!”
The young man jolted back to reality and tossed the bell away as if it were a hot potato. Zanxing, who had just appeared at the window, caught it perfectly. Holding the Jie Xin Bell, she exclaimed in surprise, “Uncle, you’re actually throwing things around?”
Gu Baiying composed himself, quickly snatched the bell from Zanxing’s hand, and deftly shoved it into a drawer, closing it seamlessly.
Zanxing asked, “Uncle, why did you…”
“It’s broken,” Gu Baiying interrupted her.
“But I just heard it ring…”
“Impossible.””

178 seriously does FL have a brain. She makes all these batshit wild assumptions. I need PROOF

183 still with this stupid drama shit. I got so annoyed I busted out the chocolate

187 whoaaa the jie xin bell broke the binding silence bell to ring
First kiss! Though she’s drunk so 🙄😒 def won’t remember it

191 ahhh so cute! Him casting a spell to protect their names!

197 ugh I’m so mad lol EVEN KNOWING there was a problem I still got chills (also so obviously xianxia is NOT MY GENRE)

209 so sad the wuyou sword - melting it seems both wrong & right. Glad they got the fruit & are leaving that place
She was SO CLOSE to telling him about the pearl

220 uh oh she sees the flower only demons can see. (😭😭😭 but he made her a special hair pin! Will he still give it?!)

221 uh oh ML definitely suspects FL has the pearl

223 sweet birthday banquet & gifts. ML cooked for her!

Skimmed 224 - I want to bitchslap QSCK for this dog blood shit

225 She better realize how valuable that hairpin is. (And ugh something will definitely happen before they talk 🙄😒)

226 if the author disrupts ML taking the third pill I will fight her

228 🙄🙄🙄😒😒😒 QSCK I kinda hate you

230 read/skimmed. Considering it’s only 230 I don’t think she’ll die. I like her crew is defending her but obvs hate the dog blood suffering

232 damn he bound his primordial soul to her/the hairpin? I can’t even enjoy him protecting her though cuz I’m so irritated at everyone else
😿 and Mimi trying to help too (I mean JFC she already died over 1000 times - she basically OUGHT to turn into a demon & kill everyone)

233 made me cry (but why does he keep saying she’s his disciple? Translation error?)
And where will the headband take her to? 😿 He needs to be okay. I want them together.

234 … but her core is destroyed! That’s not fair!
Ugh. So she is the daughter of the demon king. 🙄😒 of course. *kicks stupid dog blood shit* more read/skimming all this

235 … wait she’s the demon queen’s child … and full blood? CONFUSED.
(And how is the shitty half human half brother so much more powerful then?)
WTF he can just rip out the pearl? She’s dead? Why bother throwing her into the abyss of ice?

236 I mean I’m glad they survived & I knew she would, but HOW. Oh. The talisman. But… what about the pearl
🙄 bitch. You did die. A LOT.

237 skimmed (also duh girl practice the heart sutra WHERE IS YOUR GODDAMN BRAIN)
That’s definitely her mom she’s encountering

238 called it
… seems her mom … actually cares for her/her child? Kinda?

239 😅 “Author’s Note:
Bu Jiang: Let me see which unlucky child this is.
Oh, it turns out it’s my own (-.-)”

240 ugh stupid seal

241 😡😡😡 those rat bastards imprisoned ML on that awful wu lei platform

244 … FL died (again?) in the ice prison?

245 that motherfucker Shaoyang Zhenren erased ML’s memory didn’t he. You promised to take care of ML you shitfuck. You failed in every way on every level
Fuck her mom died trying to save her?

246 oh thank god both she & her mom are alive. That qinchong seed finally is useful. (LEARN THE HEART SUTRA YOU DUMMY)

247 for a second I thought the peerless heart sutra was written by ML’s dad but seems not if old man. Maybe it was written by the guy who ascended?

249 yay emerged from abyss! 2nd ever! At what level considering all those purple tribulation clouds. Blue flower! Mimi has finally become a proper silver moon lion?
End star arc

250 lol “return” to the demon city & FL sees the 2 faced demon she defeated in the xumi seed

252 2 year time jump/in seclusion. No news of ML… I hope he’s okay. Bracing myself for him to have “forgotten” her yet will still be so annoyed

257 oh no her mom isn’t sending Xiao Shuang with FL to murder her sect friend is she?!

258 … bro can it even still be called a river if it takes TEN DAYS to cross?!
Also who has the pulls to call it back/how will they get home?

261 *breathes* ML appears, obviously doesn’t recognize FL. I knew it’d be like this but my

268 FL’s equanimity is making me sad

273 bro what?! Why did Meng Dong ask FL to consider him?!
Oof Meng Ying telling him the truth

274 🙄😒 Pu Tao (how & why is she still alive?!) is definitely going to turn evil. Which 🙄 I know that’s why she’s still alive but ugh

277 no but seriously how TF did the half brother enter the pavilion if you have to be without guilt?!

(280) why did that arbitrary goat ish beast want to kill FL?! 😡

~294 on I already wasn’t interested in this pavilion - even less so in her half brother Gui Yansheng

Scrolled through 299 like yeah GYS had a really tragic life but so did so many others?

303 bell ringing again, fucking *shattered* thank god Buddha tower arc over. So that pearl got split? 🤷🏻‍♀️

312 🙄😒 of course FL’s mom ~fell for ML’s dad & was the one who kidnapped him 🤦🏻‍♀️

314 wait wtf I thought the bell had already shattered?

315 oh he glued it back together
… “The young man paused before speaking calmly, “You are the first person I’ve liked. I never planned to like anyone else. But,” he looked down at Zanxing with an intensity he had never shown before, “humans and demons are different, and so are we. You might be able to like many people at once, but I can’t.””

320 🙄😒 bad love divination bro STILL?!

322 second kiss! Sweet date!

331 ok now I have slightly more mixed feelings about Shaoyang Zhenren since he kinda helped FL - and he always hides his good deeds- … but should Bu Jiang trust him?

338… damn it’s a bit much both ML & FL’s dad appear…

343 I’m a tiny bit sad their dads sacrificed their soul remnants but it was for a good cause & we had such little time I don’t care much other than I just wish for more interaction

344 called it. The peerless heart sutra was written by Yushan Shengren; the sect dude who ascended

350 he sacrificing herself, but mostly her words to ML made me tear up

351 heavenly fate arc over … damn even Mimi got sucked into being a chess piece?

352 1 year jump

354 made me teary. And gah. “I’m not afraid to wait.”

355 him finding & reading the paper cranes made me cry

356 5 years post flood
Gah can’t stop crying

357 he’s visiting every spot

360 more crying. But eee she’s back!

361 e1 lol her mom’s reaction

362e2 lol a 100 day celebration
Yay Mimi! Kinda. Grow and hatch soon! ❤️

363e3 awww her spirit had been accompanying him basically from the street of his recap journey ❤️

364e4(ZanXing 1) lol seeing the sect ~uncles again

365e5 (ZX2) her reunion with MD & esp TFF made me tear up. (I don’t really get her convo with the former sect leader but 🤷🏻‍♀️)

366e6(ZX3)

Eee 367e7 DUAL CULTIVATION 1 sigh. He’s still such a stick in the mud

368e8DC2 lol he “always kept male virtue in his heart” 🤦🏻‍♀️

369e9DC3 *snicker* “The Jiexin Bell rang all night long.”

Eee 370e10 “HATCHING”!!!1

O.o 371 modern c?! … HE DOESN’T EVEN APPEAR IN IT?!?!???????????!?!?

sebagai pecinta xianxia romance happy ending gw suka bgt sama novel ini. penulis nya cerdas bikin cerita fantasy yg di balut sama humor.
suka banget sama Gu Baiying si guru paman ke 7 yg cuek dan judes tp lama2 kepincut sama ZANXING dan cinta mati walau di ceritain 70% di cerita ini muka ZANXING cacat dan menghitam sebelah karena Yu iblis.
Gu bai Ying yg satu2 nya gak percaya kalo ZX bakal kembali.
udah gitu saudara seperguruan ZX bener2 kocak terutama Mendong dan Tian Fang2.
para pecinta kultivator ganteng wajib baca 🤭
