Divagate
Transmigrated into a Xianxia novel as the 'annoying villainess' and cannon fodder, Wu Lianlei faces an uphill battle. Her supposed allies—the doting senior brother and the powerful female lead—are nothing like the book describes, and her icy master is a walking pressure cooker. With the plot veering wildly off course and her life on the line, can she fix the story, save her skin, and perhaps even find her own path in a world determined to make her a casualty? Prepare for a journey of unexpected twists, sharp wit, and a desperate fight for survival in a world that refuses to follow its own script.

The storm over Vermillion Peak was a spectacle of raw power, flashes of lightning etching stark patterns against the bruised sky, each thunderclap a reminder of a formidable talent’s breakthrough. But far from that tempest, nestled in the serene woods of Azure Peak, Wu Lianlei reclined in a tree, lost in the delicate sweetness of a lychee.

A gentle drizzle misted the air, cooling the summer heat. With a flick of her wrist, a curtain of branches lowered, shielding her from the spray. Her cultivation manual, usually a source of quiet contemplation, was interrupted by a familiar, chilling presence.

“Still so slow.”

Li Hanlan, the bane of her transmigrated existence, appeared in the clearing, his silver-masked face a study in amusement. Another verbal sparring session, another display of his infuriating superiority.

Then, just as the usual bickering began, he dropped a bombshell.

“Master told me to get you; that hothead will join us once she’s finished frying her mountain.”

And so, the game began. The novel’s plot, which she had desperately tried to avoid, was finally pulling her into its dangerous currents.
