Description
Qiu Shi held the prestigious position of overseeing the Four Seas, a beloved little koi princess doted on by her parents, a noblewoman of the Four Wastes with both name and status, and a fiancé so formidable he seemed peerless—her childhood betrothed. Living carefreely until the age of thirty thousand, Qiu Shi rescued a severely injured black dragon from the depths of the ocean. The moment she laid eyes on him, her heart inexplicably raced. Defying her parents’ objections and ignoring the gossip of outsiders, she took Cheng Yi into her courtyard, tending to him personally. For his sake, she even prepared to break off her engagement with the young patriarch of the demon clan—her arrogant, unruly childhood companion. That very night, Qiu Shi had an eerily vivid dream. She became the vicious female antagonist in a cliché xianxia romance novel. No matter how powerful her initial setup was, the author forcibly dumbed her down, making her suffer at every turn to pave the way for the female lead. The male lead was none other than Cheng Yi, the one she had saved. According to the story, Qiu Shi fell for him at first sight, disregarding his lowly status, personally feeding him medicine, nursing him with devotion, and following him recklessly. Yet in the end, Cheng Yi would be moved by the female lead’s kindness, ascending to godhood and wielding unparalleled power. The story concluded with the male and female leads’ grand wedding, while Qiu Shi—the troublemaking villainess—would have her cultivation stripped away and be imprisoned in a desolate courtyard. Imprisoned · Antagonist · Qiu Shi could not accept this: *This is utterly absurd.*
