Wenyan leyó un libro en el que un personaje secundario que compartía su nombre era una falsa heredera. Después de que la verdadera heredera asumiera su posición, la impostora intentó asegurar su lugar en la familia adinerada drogando al hijo mayor y haciendo un hecho consumado de un arroz cocido, solo para ser desenmascarada por la Familia Shen y terminar suicidándose en la desesperación. Wenyan estaba furiosa de ver tal final. ¿Cómo no se podría sobrevivir sin el respaldo de una familia adinerada? ¿Acaso la familia no le había proporcionado una casa de lujo y un sinfín de artículos de lujo? Solo vender esos le reportaría decenas de millones. ¡Ella era simplemente un caso perdido! Si ella fuera la Wenyan del libro, habría renunciado a su posición y simplemente habría vivido relajada como un pez salado! Pero cuando despertó de su sueño, realmente transmigró al libro. Fiel a su palabra, dejó de conspirar. De la noche a la mañana empacó sus maletas, vendió su casa, coche y bolsos, y buscó un trabajo. Toda la Familia Shen notó el cambio en Wenyan, su hija adoptada. No solo se había mudado obedientemente, sino que también nunca causó problemas de nuevo. Aún más extraño fue que ahora podían ver sus pensamientos más íntimos. «Papá, Mamá, nunca quise usurpar su nido, pero los resultados de la prueba de ADN de la verdadera hija tienen problemas. De hecho, ella es incluso más falsa que yo, la supuesta heredera.», pensó. Padres de la Familia Shen: ...... Entonces, la 'hija' perdida y encontrada fue expuesta como una impostora y llevada por la policía para ser interrogada. «Hermano mayor, ese compañero de colegio tuyo no es bueno, es un espía corporativo, el hijo ilegítimo de los archienemigos de la Familia Shen.», pensó. El hijo mayor de la Familia Shen: ...... Después, el compañero fue sorprendido robando documentos confidenciales y también fue llevado por la policía para ser interrogado. «Segundo hermano, eres una persona tan pura y noble, no debes estar con la hija de la Familia Qin, ella solo te está usando, su corazón en realidad está puesto en alguien más.», pensó. El segundo hijo de la Familia Shen: ...... Gracias, lo investigaré. «Y tercer hermano, cuarto hermano......», pensó. Al final, nadie podría haber predicho que la hija adoptada menos distinguida de la Familia Shen se convertiría en la mimada nuera.

When a mountain comes to life, awakening its consciousness, it takes on another form—a Mountain Spirit. And that’s me reborn with extraordinary Divine powers. Want to know what these divine powers are? Well, one of them allows me to accelerate herb growth—up to one hundred times faster! Impressive, right? But wait, there’s more! I also possess a ‘golden finger’—which is ‘Space-Time’ system that lets me fish for lost techniques, weapons, pill formulas, and other treasures from the rivers of time and space. With these at my disposal, I’m sure to become stronger, at least stronger than the beautiful sect master who claims my mountain as her personal retreat and constantly drag me into her matters. It’s not an easy life, but no need to worry! I’m not just any spirit—I’m a human spirit born from a mountain, which means I have an extraordinary talent for cultivation. To top it off, my system was generous enough to grant me a divine cultivation technique right from the start. There’s just one tiny problem: it’s a dual cultivation technique, and I need a partner to cultivate it. So, I had no choice but to convince the sect master’s stunning disciple to help me out. I mean, it’s not like I’m after her gorgeous long legs, her curvaceous thighs, or her… well, you get the point. I’m just a humble cultivator trying to grow stronger by any means necessary. If only she’d run into some trouble, so I could swoop in and save the day. That would make things a lot easier for me… but alas, life is never that simple. Still, I’ll find a way. With my Space-Time system, my mountain’s power, and a little charm, I’ll outgrow this mountain and surpass everyone—even the sect master. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll enjoy the beauties along the way. *** No NTR, No Yuri, No Yaoi *** LinkTree- https://linktr.ee/Around_The_Moon Discord- https://discord.gg/zTgR9VFduX
