Disguised as the Beloved of the Deceased Immortal Lord
OnGoing
After transmigrating, Xu Wanci found herself in the body of the notorious villainess from a popular cultivation novel.
The original character, obsessed with the male lead, repeatedly schemed against the female lead, committing countless atrocities.
In the end, the male lead, pushed to his limit, dragged her to the Hall of Justice, stripped her of her spiritual roots, and left her to die a miserable death.
Upon opening her eyes in this new world, Xu Wanci was met with the stern, imposing figure of the Hall’s elder.
At this life-or-death moment, her mind raced, and she dredged up a minor, barely-mentioned detail from the depths of the novel’s lore.
Lifting her head, she fixed the male lead with a hollow, desolate gaze and asked in a voice devoid of hope:
"There’s just one thing I want to know."
"Is Chu Qingchuan truly the reincarnation of the Venerable Qingyan?"
Armed with her knowledge of the original story and pouring every ounce of her acting skills into the performance, she successfully convinced everyone that she was the beloved of the Venerable Qingyan.
A century ago, Qingyan had sacrificed himself to save the cultivation world from calamity, leaving every cultivator indebted to him.
And the key to ascension? Resolving one’s karmic debts.
Thus, not only did Xu Wanci save her own life, but she also became the linchpin for countless powerful figures seeking to ascend.
Watching these mighty cultivators fawn over her as their ticket to immortality, Xu Wanci played her part to perfection. To survive, she threw herself into cultivation while clinging fiercely to her carefully crafted persona as Qingyan’s devoted love:
Qingyan favored blue—so she draped herself in nothing but shades of azure.
Qingyan had a heart for saving the world—so she gave up treasures and devoted herself to aiding the needy.
Qingyan...
As she played the role, she also inherited countless relics Qingyan had left behind.
Just as she was basking in her success, she noticed something odd—every character from the original story seemed to be acting strangely.
The female lead went to great lengths just to make her smile.
The male lead desperately tried to prove he was Qingyan’s reincarnation.
Countless side characters treated her like an untouchable white moonlight.
And then there was the cultivation grandmaster who willingly became Qingyan’s substitute?
Xu Wanci: "...Did I overdo it?"

A hundred years ago, Xiao Yuyan sacrificed himself to mend the heavens.
Reborn as the new Heavenly Dao, he lost all memories of his past life—along with every trace of emotion.
He watched indifferently as the cultivation world forgot him, feeling not even a ripple of regret.
Observing everything Xu Wanci did in his name, he gazed at her with the detached pity reserved for all living beings:
No matter how much she sacrificed, no matter what history they might have shared, he would never remember.
But then—
When he saw Xu Wanci risking her life yet again for an offhand remark he’d once made, his tranquil heart stirred for the first time.
And so, the emotionless, desireless Heavenly Dao developed an obsession.
Staring at the so-called "Heaven’s Chosen" Chu Qingchuan, his eyes darkened:
"If the Heavenly Dao must favor someone... why shouldn’t it be her?"
P.S.: The female lead’s lies will never be exposed.
The male lead appears later in the story, around the mid-to-late arcs.
