Extending further the background from the introduction blurb, the story is definitely of a side character /mob character trope. The protagonist, Wei Zhiruo is a complete newbie, when it comes to cultivation. She doesn't even know what cultivating to become immortal means. Along with looking out for complete culture shocks, she has to navigate with other people continuously infringing on her life. She never intends to be part of the story, but how can that be? She definitely has all the power, intellect to see what is going on, and enough compassion to not just go past the atrocity (coming plot point) blindly. I am defending her, but the position she has inherited is definitely something that will never allow her to remain a silent bystander.
