Breaking the Precept is a Chinese web novel by Qiao Jia Xiao Qiao, blending elements of cultivation and fantasy. The story follows the protagonist, who embarks on a rigorous spiritual journey in pursuit of higher cultivation. As the protagonist faces a series of challenges, both external and internal, they are forced to confront the conflicts between their personal desires, spiritual growth, and the complex moral codes of their world. The central theme of the novel revolves around the concept of "breaking the precept", which represents the protagonist's struggle to reconcile their individual path with the restrictive religious or moral laws governing their cultivation sect. This concept not only explores the consequences of breaking societal or spiritual rules but also delves into deeper philosophical questions about the nature of freedom, destiny, and self-realization. The novel intricately combines intense action sequences with philosophical and ethical dilemmas, offering a compelling narrative for readers interested in the tension between spiritual discipline and personal autonomy. With its richly developed world-building, complex characters, and a story that examines the boundaries between right and wrong, Breaking the Precept has gained a strong following, particularly among fans of the cultivation and fantasy genres.

The story takes place in a fantasy world called "Xuantian Continent", where there is a rich cultivation culture and powerful sect forces. The protagonist is named "Yun Yi" and is a genius disciple of the "Tianjian Sect". Due to an accident, he lost all his cultivation and was ignored by the sect and ridiculed by his peers. During a sect trial, Yun Yi unexpectedly discovered the truth of his family's destruction, which was originally related to the high-ranking members of the sect.

Standing in the Aristocratic Circle New to the Aristocratic Circle and Subjected to Bullying After crossing over, Dai Shi Ya found herself in a hostile aristocratic family. The housekeeper, Liu, treated her poorly, arranging for her to stay in the servants' quarters and providing her with servant uniforms as "daily clothes." The other servants also held prejudices against her due to her status, making life difficult for her at every turn. Faced with these difficulties, Dai Shi Ya did not choose to confront immediately but decided to take the initiative to try to integrate into the family. She began to help in the kitchen, learning various domestic skills. Although her efforts did not immediately win the recognition of everyone, she gradually won the respect of some of the servants. Shining at the Family Dinner In order to establish herself in the family, Dai Shi Ya decided to take advantage of the family dinner. She meticulously prepared for various aspects of the dinner, including venue layout and menu design. At the dinner, she encountered multiple difficulties from her cousin Dai Yue. Dai Yue first tried to prevent her from attending the dinner by soiling her dress, and then attempted to embarrass her by making her perform piano in front of everyone. However, Dai Shi Ya used her intelligence and skills to defuse the crisis and showcased her embroidery talent and "mind-reading" skills at the dinner, winning everyone's admiration and changing the attitudes of the family elders towards her. Resolving Crises and Consolidating Her Position At the birthday party of the Dai family patriarch, Dai Shi Ya once again became the focus of attention. She not only put in a lot of effort in the preparation process but also skillfully handled various unexpected situations at the party. She exposed Dai Yue's malicious acts of spreading rumors behind the scenes, causing Dai Yue to be embarrassed in front of everyone, while also gaining the recognition and support of the family elders, further consolidating her position in the Dai family. Handling Family Affairs Dai Shi Ya gained the trust of the Dai family patriarch and was asked to handle some family affairs. She took over a land project that had been abandoned for many years and, through her own efforts, resolved a series of issues in the land development process, including the breakage of the capital chain and the resettlement of residents. In the process of handling the land project, she also discovered some clues about the late wife of the Dai family patriarch, which brought her closer to the patriarch and also aroused Dai Yue's jealousy and resentment. Business Competition and the Test of Friendship Business Conspiracy and Counterattack Dai Shi Ya's rise within the family aroused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of some people, making her a target of business competition. The collateral branch of the Dai family, including Dai Qiang, spread rumors behind the scenes, trying to tarnish her reputation and undermine her position in the family. Dai Shi Ya was not knocked down by these rumors. She exposed the conspiracy of Dai Qiang and others through her intelligence and investigative skills, and successfully counterattacked them at the family meeting, maintaining her reputation and position. Friendship Crisis and Resolution Dai Shi Ya's good friend Wei Qing was implicated in her business competition. Wei Qing was threatened by Zhao Lei, forced to distance himself from Dai Shi Ya, and betrayed her in some business affairs. Dai Shi Ya did not give up on Wei Qing. She investigated the truth through her own efforts, exposed Zhao Lei's malicious acts, successfully resolved the friendship crisis with Wei Qing, and also freed Wei Qing from Zhao Lei's threat.
