Synopsis:

Ming Li was incredibly strong in her past life, stronger than anyone else.

She was born into a prestigious sect, had extraordinary talent from a young age, and at the age of sixteen, became one of the top seven powerhouses of the continent. She was the epitome of beauty and strength, living a life without misfortune.

Because the ones around her were the ones who suffered.

From close friends and family to fellow disciples, they were all tortured by love, hatred, anger, and obsession to the point of life and death.

It was rumored that her older brother, who had a terrible relationship with Ming Li, was crippled, disfigured, had his tongue cut off, and was locked away in a place with no sunlight.

It was rumored that her junior sister, who once envied Ming Li and badmouthed her at every turn, was turned into a puppet after her heart was dug out and her blood drained as a substitute.

It was rumored that her senior brother, who once humiliated Ming Li, was stripped of all his pride and turned into a slave, bowing to everyone he met.

It was rumored that her junior brother, who once pierced Ming Li’s heart with an arrow, was cursed with the most vicious curse in the world and imprisoned under the Tower of Resentment, suffering day and night.

When Ming Li returned from her reincarnation: “?”

Who is spreading these ridiculous rumors about my bad relationship with them?

In her previous life, Ming Li was so obsessed with cultivation that she couldn’t see the undercurrents around her. It wasn’t until her return that she discovered everyone around her had disappeared one by one.

Ming Li thought for a moment and decided to start with the one she liked the most: her little junior brother.

Her junior brother was always gentle and patient with Ming Li. To others, he appeared aloof and indifferent, but in her presence, he was as warm as a little sun.

The rumors, however, were all wrong.

It was Ming Li who pierced her junior brother’s heart with an arrow.

Ming Li liked him.

When Ming Li finally found her junior brother after much difficulty, she saw him sitting in a sea of corpses and blood, stepping on a short arrow. He propped his chin with one hand, looked at her for a moment, and said with a slow, mocking smile: “Really, any random cat or dog dares to call me their senior sister.”

Ming Li: “…”

It seemed her junior brother wasn’t quite right.

Review:

Ming Li, a revered Pilgrim of the Big Dipper(Bei Dou), was reborn five years after she died in battle. She discovered that not only had her body become smaller, but she also had to cultivate from scratch again. On her way back to the Big Dipper(Bei Dou), she gradually realized that her fellow disciples and family members had encountered misfortune and were being imprisoned. As she rescued them and returned to her sect, she also uncovered the secrets between the Pilgrims and this world. The writing flows smoothly, the plot is tightly knit, and the characters are vivid, each with their own unique story, yet all interwoven. The otherworldly setting is refreshing, and the battles are exciting.
