Western Region of the Weiyu Realm
In an exquisite bedroom in the rear courtyard of the Wei family mansion in Kunyu City, a child of about five suddenly opened her eyes. She was still somewhat dazed, staring blankly at the pink bed curtains overhead for quite a while. Just then, the little girl heard voices. Unable to gauge the situation, she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
"Sister Chunyu, what do you think will happen to our young lady? Madam has only just passed away, and Master is already in a hurry to elevate the concubine to the proper wife. Will we have to move out of Zhuohua Courtyard from now on?"
"Xiamo, shut your mouth! Are such matters something servants like us can discuss?"
Xiamo seemed frightened. After hesitating for quite a while, she finally said timidly,
"Sister Chunyu, I do not want to either, but this concerns our future."
What followed was a long silence. In the end, Chunyu spoke.
"Whether we can have a good future depends on whether Miss has the aptitude to cultivate. As long as she can cultivate, then no matter how much Master dislikes her, he will not dare make things difficult for our young lady openly. Besides, Miss still has her maternal family. What I fear is that Miss is still young. If she listens to everything Master says and goes along with him in all things, she will only wrong herself."
Xiamo echoed her words.
"Miss was protected too well by Madam."
"Let us wait for now. Qiutao and Dongmei have already gone to notify Madam's younger brother. If someone from Miss's maternal family comes, our little mistress will not suffer an obvious loss."
"That is all we can do now. Miss cried herself to sleep. After we carried her back, Master did not even come to take a look. How pitiful!"
"Shh! No matter how pitiful she is, she is still our mistress."
Wei Yunxi could no longer take in the words that followed. Was this not the opening of the second chapter of Ascending Gracefully, that immortal-cultivation romance webnovel she had left a five-hundred-word bad review for? No wonder these names and conversations had sounded so familiar!
At that moment, the door was gently pushed open. Wei Yunxi had not figured out how to respond, so she simply continued pretending to sleep. Then she felt someone touch her forehead, tuck in her blanket, and leave the room again, gently closing the door behind them.
Wei Yunxi waited for a while. Once she was certain no one else would come in, she opened her eyes and began recalling the plot and characters from the novel. The more she thought, the colder her heart became. It felt as though she had transmigrated here only to deliver her own head on a platter.
Before she had transmigrated into the novel, it had still been ongoing. She had happened to catch up to the chapter where the female supporting character Wei Yunxi, who shared her name, was jointly stripped of her Spiritual Root and had her Golden Core dug out by the female lead Wei Yunqing and the male lead Sheng Yuhong, after which the female supporting character was directly written out.
Set in the Weiyu Realm, the novel told of love, hatred, and grudges within the Cultivation Realm. It wore the skin of a grand female-led cultivation tale, but in truth, it was the story of the female lead cultivating all the way under the nourishment of countless resources and the male lead's protection, until the two finally ascended together hand in hand.
The female supporting character Wei Yunxi, who shared her name, was the novel's first great cannon fodder in its early stages. She and the female lead Wei Yunqing were half-sisters born of the same father. Both possessed exceptional aptitude. The female lead had Water-Wood Dual Spiritual Roots, while the female supporting character was even better, possessing a Lightning-element Single Spiritual Root. In the end, both were sent by the Wei Family to cultivate at the Haoran Sect.
After entering the Haoran Sect, the sisters encountered the sect's senior disciple, Sheng Yuhong. He was a leading figure among Haoran Sect's new generation and was adored by countless disciples.
Because of her outstanding aptitude, the female supporting character Wei Yunxi became a disciple of the Haoran Sect Leader. She and Sheng Yuhong became fellow disciples, senior brother and junior sister, and her heart fell upon him.
Unfortunately, the male lead belonged to the female lead. Wei Yunqing entered the Pill Hall Elder's tutelage at the Haoran Sect with her Water-Wood Dual Spiritual Roots. She rose to fame for being able to refine pills above her cultivation level, thereby drawing Sheng Yuhong's attention.
Wei Yunqing even used her younger sister to approach Sheng Yuhong. Wei Yunxi was unwilling to cooperate, so the female lead began subtly speaking ill of her before Sheng Yuhong and secretly throwing stumbling blocks in Wei Yunxi's path.
Caught off guard, the female supporting character became the female lead's stepping stone and a Fortune-Bringing Child. Her repeated counterattacks instead furthered the female lead's success.
Finally, during a secret-realm trial organized by the sect, the female lead hinted for her followers to deal with the female supporting character. This caused the female supporting character to turn blades against her fellow disciples. Wei Yunqing then stepped forward to stop her younger sister, only to have her Spiritual Root and Golden Core injured by the female supporting character. Senior Brother Sheng Yuhong arrived in time to save the day, rescuing the woman he loved and capturing Wei Yunxi.
To repair his beloved's Spiritual Root and Golden Core, Sheng Yuhong decided to strip the female supporting character of her Spiritual Root and dig out her Golden Core.
Her recollection stopped abruptly there, because that had been the final chapter she read after a gas pipeline explosion sent her transmigrating here.
At that thought, Wei Yunxi abruptly sat up and slapped the bed hard. To hell with this! This lady is done serving you! She had no intention of becoming the female lead's stepping stone and Fortune-Bringing Child. Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing was the best.
She threw off the blanket and prepared to get out of bed, but in the next instant, she was left in an awkward predicament. Her height was simply too limited. Even sitting on the edge of the bed, her toes could not reach the floor. With her current short, stubby five-year-old body, where could she possibly run? She probably could not even get out of Wei Manor.
Seemingly hearing the movement in the room, Chunyu and Xiamo gently pushed open the door. They saw their young lady dangling from the bed's edge, neither up nor down. The two exchanged a look and immediately hurried over.
"Miss, do you need to relieve yourself? Chunyu will carry you to the latrine."
After saying that, Chunyu turned to Xiamo and instructed,
"Go bring Miss's chamber pot in."
By now, Wei Yunxi, who possessed an adult soul, had reacted. She swiftly arranged her expression and said in a voice on the verge of tears,
"Chunyu, I want Mother. I want to see Mother!"
Chunyu and Xiamo both froze. Realizing that their young lady had awoken and was looking for Madam, they immediately coaxed her gently.
"Miss, Madam has already left."
Wei Yunxi thought through every miserable thing she had ever experienced, then squeezed out two tears and choked out,
"You are lying to me! I do not believe it. Take me to Mother's room. I want to wait for Mother there!"
"Miss."
"I do not care. Take me there. I will definitely be able to wait for Mother!"
Making full use of a child's advantages, Wei Yunxi cried and fussed without end, insisting on going to her mother Feng Jiayun's room.
In the end, the two senior maids could not persuade her otherwise. They could only wrap Wei Yunxi in a thin blanket and carry her to Madam's courtyard in the main residence.
The two maids had just carried Wei Yunxi out of the side courtyard when they ran into the Wei Family's eldest master, Wei Lingyue, at the entrance to Madam's courtyard.
Wei Lingyue wore a brocade robe embroidered with Cloud Patterns and a white jade hair crown. His appearance was ordinary, but as a cultivator, he possessed a rather distinguished bearing.
When Wei Lingyue saw the three of them, a flash of displeasure crossed his eyes. Still, he asked,
"Why have you brought Miss here?"
Chunyu and Xiamo were somewhat surprised to encounter their master here. After curtsying, Chunyu said,
"Master, Miss refuses to sleep and insists on coming here to wait for Madam."
Wei Yunxi was an adult. She saw the displeasure in the man's eyes clearly, but she was a child now, so she could only struggle to stretch out her arms.
"Daddy, carry me!"
Wei Lingyue's gaze flickered, but he did not immediately reach out.
