A Thousand Skies to Mend

I poured my morning tea, expecting a quiet day of meditation. Instead, a messenger delivered my broken engagement decree, and I coughed up a petal of the Void Lotus. That was the unmentioned twist of this reality: the original protagonist's destined, world-shaking romance is a 'central love story' that literally siphons the realm's life-force to grant them plot armor. The universe will shatter in exactly one year to fuel their happy ending. As the discarded fiancée, my role was to weep and fade into obscurity. Instead, I returned to the ashes of the Canghai Sect. I have arrays to reconstruct and a collapsing firmament to patch. When my sudden, icy competence inadvertently draws the obsession of my ex-fiancé, his powerful rivals, and even a Supreme Deity, I implement a strict policy: an exorbitant offering of rare spiritual materials for every minute they wish to speak to me. I have no time for their romantic delusions when the sky is falling. But as the Supreme Deity empties his celestial treasury just to sit in melancholic silence by my side, I wonder - can I finish the grand array before my own soul crumbles to dust?
