『I Hear the White Bones Calling My Name』
Shen Shengchi
Female-oriented #Hard-to-Romance #TalismanCultivator #OverpoweredFemaleLead #Pure #NoAbusingTheBaby🚫# Shen Shengchi, Eldest Senior Sister of the Jinyang Sect, head disciple of Immortal Venerable Lingdu, bearer of a divine wind spiritual root, an early-stage Soul Formation cultivator at just twenty-four years old, a prodigy in both talismans and formations, and the universally acknowledged successor to the sect master's seat. On the surface, she is aloof, detached, and sparing of words. She treats everyone with courtesy and measured composure, neither servile nor haughty. She believes in equivalent exchange and never harms the innocent. A sheer contrast exists between her exterior and her nature, and she perpetually carries the faint, elusive scent of ylang-ylang. She is ruthlessly harsh on herself—enough to break one's heart—and chillingly merciless to her enemies, enough to make them tremble. Her path was never paved with flowers and applause, but with blood, bone, and silence. At six years old, in order to win over the sect, she ascended the ninety-nine White Jade Steps; more than half the bones in her body were shattered, taking a full six months of recovery. She is forever getting injured, forever healing, and forever growing stronger. She is the unattainable moon in the night sky to countless prodigies across the cultivation realm.
A talisman as a covenant, a life as the price; where the cinnabar falls, life and death are settled.
