Transmigrating into a Cultivation Novel to Form a Harem

When Shi Nidie awakens as the sovereign of the Pleasure Palace, she realizes she has been cast into the perilous world of a cultivation novel—and her new identity is anything but safe. To secure her survival, she devises an ambitious scheme: rather than flee from the story's pivotal players, she will intervene directly. Her roster of troubled charges includes Nie Guixun, the ridiculously overpowered male lead whose heroic path she must gently steer; He Lanshan, a prodigal wastrel drowning in his own lethargy, whose latent fire she must rekindle; Dan Jiudeng, the sharp-tongued tsundere hurtling toward a tragic end; and Yun Lin, the fiercely loyal hound whose devotion will otherwise lead him to an early grave. Determined to rewrite their collective fates, Shi Nidie takes all four men as her personal disciples and establishes a brand-new sect—one founded on the radical principle of defying destiny itself. Yet molding four volatile personalities with divergent futures is a monumental challenge, and her grand plan quickly descends into a whirlwind of chaos, shifting alliances, and unexpected entanglements. As she struggles to keep her fledgling sect afloat and her disciples on track, Shi Nidie also works tirelessly to expand the reach and influence of the Pleasure Palace. What begins as a desperate gamble for survival soon evolves into a treacherous tightrope walk between altering the novel's foretold tragedies and managing the delicate, ever-growing dynamics of her reverse harem—all while the original plot conspires to reclaim its course.
