Robbed of All, I Rose First on the Immortal Path

[Level-Up Progression + Strong Heroine + No Romance]
Lu Shao Heng was spoiled and willful, living for luxury and pleasure, but she had every reason to be that way.
With a privileged birth, top-tier talent, doting loved ones, and a fiancé promised to her, everything came easily.
Until a girl barged into her life and forcefully took everything.
Lu Shao Heng tried one move after another, yet some twist of fate always made her lose.
Old friends turned on her. Her parents treated Lu Shao Heng like something to be traded. The elder brother who built his fame on her poetry and policy essays chose to abandon her, the younger brother she had trained after studying the military classics trampled her with contempt, and her fiancé had long since fallen for someone else…
When Lu Shao Heng lay starving and freezing in a ruined temple, a voice spoke.
[Life was a play. You were destined to be Jiang Yun Jiang’s backdrop, a clown forever in her shadow. But now you can choose to return to the past and change everything.]
[Back at the beginning, you can offer everything to Jiang Yun Jiang and trade it for a decent future. Or you can plan again and face her once more.]
Starting over sounded like a miracle.
But Shao Heng chose to let go of the past and move forward.
She was going to cultivate immortality!
“I never regret anything, so why start over?”
Letting go of resentment and bitterness, Shao Heng finally saw the truth: power was the foundation of every rule.
Ambition woke in her bones, and desire spread like wildfire.
Look – mountains would erode into new shapes, rivers could even reverse and change their course, but she would always move forward.
…
In cultivation, years meant nothing. When Shao Heng looked back, she had gone from her first step on the immortal path to taking first place on the Phoenix Cry Rankings, soaring straight into the clouds, and cutting down immortals with her sword.
Along the way, she had already become the immortal path’s unrivaled leader, someone the whole world had to admire.
