The Movie Queen's Demon Sect Leader [Transmigration] GL - Chapter 1
Luo Xuange sat on the bed, holding her phone, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Luo Xuange was originally the Demon Sect Leader. Because her temperament, conduct, and style were at odds with the righteous martial arts world, and because her unique cultivation methods were unrivaled, she incurred the displeasure of the righteous sects. Under a joint effort by the righteous martial arts world and the imperial court, Luo Xuange was poisoned and assassinated.
However, she woke up, reborn into this utterly astonishing, different world. Through the memories left by the original owner of the body, she learned that she had transmigrated, borrowing a corpse to return her soul to life in another world.
Three hours had passed since her rebirth in this new world. After organizing some of the memories in her mind, she sat on the bed, playing with the phone she found most interesting.
Just as Luo Xuange pressed the phone screen, she saw a stunningly beautiful woman on the phone’s wallpaper.
After seeing it, a segment of memory immediately surfaced from the depths of Luo Xuange’s mind.
The woman on the phone wallpaper was the original body’s new wife from a month ago, named An Ruoshui. The reason she married the original owner, a poor, powerless orphan without parents, was because An Ruoshui had a special fate. A fortune teller said she wouldn’t live past twenty-five. With her twenty-fifth birthday approaching, the An family sent people everywhere to find someone who could break An Ruoshui’s fate.
After much searching, they found the original owner. The original owner didn’t believe in such pseudo-scientific things, but she couldn’t resist the huge sum of money offered by the An family.
Having received the money, the original owner was naturally willing to marry An Ruoshui. However, on the day of the marriage, An Ruoshui proposed that their marriage would only be in name, could not be mentioned to outsiders, and they even had to act as if they didn’t know each other in front of others.
The original owner was a fan of An Ruoshui, so she naturally obeyed her idol’s words 100%.
Thus, the original owner married into a wealthy family, but ultimately starved to death in a small rented room.
As for the large sum of money the An family gave her, two children in the orphanage had an accident at the time and urgently needed medical expenses. The original owner donated the “selling herself” money, not a single penny held back.
Luo Xuange lay on the bed and stretched. Actually, because the original owner had a good appearance, she was signed by a talent scout to an entertainment agency, which was considered a decent job. But the original owner had bad luck and met a disgusting agent. He constantly wanted the original owner to “sell herself” for resources. The original owner, in a fit of anger, fought him, and the result was naturally no benefit for her.
Luo Xuange lay on the bed, looking at the fragmented notes on the phone’s memo app. These simple sentences recorded the original owner’s struggle from optimism and cheerfulness, and her eventual helpless compromise and surrender.

Today I finally got a role, even if it’s a small beggar, at least I showed my face. I’m one step closer to my dream! Go! Go! Go!
November 23, 2042
Hu Zi and Xiao Yue are both sick. Uncle Dean says they urgently need medical expenses. What should I do? What should I do? I’ve sold almost everything I can sell, I’m just short of selling myself. But it’s still not enough money…
November 24, 2042
Need money, need money!!!
November 25, 2042
Someone found me today and talked to me about an incredible “deal.” Should I agree? If I agree, I can raise enough for Hu Zi and Xiao Yue’s medical expenses. But I don’t want to marry someone I’ve never met. Especially since the other person is a woman.
November 26, 2042
Ahhh! I saw my marriage partner today, and it’s actually my goddess. This is too good a deal! Marry, marry, must marry! I’d even pay to marry!
November 27, 2042
I’ve already received the money the An family promised me. In the morning, I took Hu Zi and Xiao Yue to the hospital, and in the afternoon, I registered our marriage with my goddess. Before I could even clearly see the red booklet, my goddess looked at me coldly and said: ‘My work is special, if possible, I hope we don’t reveal our marriage to outsiders. Also, in front of outsiders, I think we can maintain our previous state.’
Previous state… not knowing each other?
So sad, but it’s okay! I even got the little red booklet with my goddess, this is something tens of millions of fans long for but can’t get. What do I have to complain about? Cheer up, work hard to become a big star, standing at the top of the entertainment industry’s pyramid, looking down on everyone! LOL, so chuunibyo, but that’s my dream!
November 28, 2042
I really have no contact with my goddess at all. She’s playing the lead role in a big-name production, and I’m a small extra in a third-rate one, LOL. Keep going! One day, I’ll be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with my goddess!
…

Hu Zi and Xiao Yue are discharged, so happy. I’ll eat an extra chicken drumstick for lunch to celebrate.
December 24, 2042
Today I was a stunt double for Xu Ru, and I was beaten so badly. But my goddess saw me and even asked if I was okay. So happy!!! If I could get my goddess’s greeting every time, then just hit me a few more times, okay. Oh ho ho, my fangirl brain has given up on treatment~
December 25, 2042
Being good-looking is really a mistake. Today I ran into a young male celebrity who wanted to use his power to get me into bed. Hah, the Movie Queen is my wife, what’s a young male celebrity? I decisively slapped him and left in style. (Wuwu~ my heart is so scared, he won’t get revenge on me, will he? So annoying!!! What did I do wrong? Being good-looking is probably the biggest mistake I’ve made in this life.)
December 26, 2042
…Bad luck. Today I was inexplicably beaten up. Don’t let me find out who that scumbag was, otherwise… I’ll draw a circle and curse them. No money, no power, what can I do? Feeling wronged~
December 27, 2042
My leg was injured yesterday, and it’s still not better today, feeling worse and worse. I won’t be crippled, will I? I’ll rest at home for a few days, and if I really can’t bear it, I’ll borrow some money from Auntie Landlady to see a doctor.
December 30, 2042
It’s New Year’s Eve today, I’m so hungry! The lights in the windows outside look so warm.
I’m almost at my limit. I called Auntie Landlady, and her daughter-in-law answered. As soon as I mentioned borrowing money, she started yelling at me. Well, of course, what else can a poor girl like me do but suffer and be bullied?
The Little Match Girl could still see delicious food and her kind grandmother before she died.
I also want to see those beautiful things again. But I don’t even know who I am. I was thrown at the orphanage door three months after birth.
I really want a home…
January 1, 2043
Finally, it’s 2043. I just sent a message to my goddess. I timidly sent “Happy New Year.” My goddess hasn’t replied yet…
Goddess, please reply quickly, okay? I don’t think I can make it.
An Ruoshui, I love you! I’ve always, always loved you. I did agree to marry you because of money, but I definitely wasn’t vain. If I can live, please don’t look at me with that strange gaze anymore, okay? Every time you look at me like that, I feel so sad.
It’s three in the morning, and my phone’s almost out of battery. I’m going to turn it off. Even if I have to leave, I’ll leave quietly.
Goodbye, this beautiful world that can’t accommodate me.
Goodbye, my goddess, I think I can see you now.

Luo Xuange exited the memo app and opened WeChat. There were a few messages from An Ruoshui, sent at 3:15 AM.
An Ruoshui: Happy New Year
••••
Luo Xuange felt a little heavy-hearted. Actually, when she possessed this body, the original owner’s soul hadn’t completely left. At that time, the original owner could have completely taken back the body.
But the original owner told Luo Xuange: “I chose to leave because I’m tired. I’ll give you my body; you live well for me.”
Luo Xuange naturally agreed. She had always longed to live, especially in this strange and novel world.
Perhaps the original owner’s soul is living in another world, just like her, or perhaps it has completely dissipated without a trace in the three thousand great worlds and nine thousand small worlds.
But no matter which it is, it was the original owner’s own choice. Just like when she had no reliance or help, she could have completely called An Ruoshui, and An Ruoshui definitely wouldn’t have ignored her. But why the original owner didn’t make that call, only she herself would know the reason.
••••
New Year, new beginnings. Outside, light snow was falling. Inside, Luo Xuange was eating the hot dumplings Auntie Landlady had just brought her. She held a few hundred yuan in her hand; it was money Auntie Landlady had asked her daughter-in-law about last night and delivered early this morning, apologizing for what happened the previous night.
Luo Xuange finished her dumplings and drank the hot soup, feeling much more comfortable. The money in her hand gradually warmed to her body temperature.
Luo Xuange didn’t plan to go to the hospital. The original owner’s injuries were internal, and now that she was full and warm, she could completely use her internal energy to recuperate her body.
Luo Xuange sat cross-legged on the bed, recalling the cultivation methods of her previous life scene by scene. She also thoroughly recalled all the people and events of her past life, finally placing everything from her past life deep within her memories.
From then on, she would be Luo Xuange of this world. The Demon Sect Leader, unrivaled in the martial arts world, was now a past dream of a carefree existence.
“Since I’ve occupied your body, I’ll live well for you, and I’ll help you fulfill your dreams too.”
••••
—In a world where martial arts reigned supreme, a young girl suddenly “came back to life.”
The cult members kneeling around her excitedly prostrated themselves, shouting, “The Sect Leader has finally awakened! Long live the Sect Leader!”
The girl looked at the group of strangely dressed, joyfully dancing people with a bewildered expression.
“What’s going on? Didn’t I starve to death?”
