Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All Novel

In "Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All" by Girl God, Dong Xi finds herself transmigration not as a main character, but as a tragic, overlooked side character. Despite her status as a wealthy daughter, her mother used her as a stand-in for her younger sister, sending her to train at a prestigious cultivation sect. After eight years of dedicated but talentless practice, her gifted younger sister joins the sect, while Dong Xi is expelled, her true identity as a substitute exposed. Her subsequent capture, imprisonment, and torment due to her attractiveness last two years until rescue by a senior disciple, whose motive is revealed to be avenging her sister, leading to Dong Xi's death. Transmigrating just as her cultivation journey begins, Dong Xi vows to overcome her past. She dedicates herself intensely to training, doubling the efforts of others. Eight years later, as her sister enters the sect, Dong Xi departs, leaving the sect in disarray. Meanwhile, the powerful demon lord Su Cheng declares war on anyone who harmed his "beloved wife," whom Dong Xi, still on the run, claims not to know, despite Su Cheng's nostalgic reminder of their shared past counting stars as a snake.
