The cultivation world isn't peaceful now.

Buddhist health, good temper × black-bellied, humorous, a little naughty Lu Rujiu accidentally transmigrated into the book and became the evil female supporting character in the immortal cultivation novel. The female supporting character did many evil things and coveted the male protagonist. She either died or was injured. Lu Rujiu wanted to cry but had no tears. Could she still be saved if she repented on the spot? In order to avoid the death ending, she tried her best to draw a clear line between herself and the male lead. She even pulled in a reliable junior brother, Chu Changfeng, to cover for her. In the end, she knew everything about the male lead, but she led a wolf into her house. Her ending was even more miserable than the original owner. … Chu Changfeng returned to the sect he had joined many years ago with a motive. He pretended to be a thorn in the side and fought all day long. However, he met an open-minded and easy-going senior sister. She had a gentle smile, but she was clear-headed and efficient when she did things. She was to his liking. He would go all out and try his best to please her. Just as he was about to bring the beauty home, his identity was exposed. " I have bad intentions. In order to save the devil cultivator and return to the sect, I dug up your ancestral grave to get close to you. Lu Rujiu, you can only blame yourself for being blind and not judging people clearly." Lu Rujiu wanted to cry, but she stopped. Why did he start scolding her? …… Later on, Lu Rujiu had indeed taken the old path of sacrificing female supporting characters. Chu Changfeng rushed over to stop her. He was travel-worn and cried his eyes out. It did not match Lu Rujiu's aesthetic standards at all. … Chu Changfeng's life plan was clear, but it did not include his Little Senior Sister who fell in love with the sect. He had resisted and struggled before, but in the end, he still admitted defeat. …… PS: 1. Immortals are casually cultivated. If there is a problem, the author will eat the setting. 2.
