Phoenix Destiny

Summary of the Phoenix Destiny

When her dad remarried and completely messed things up back home, she wasn't buying into any cosmic plan. Thrown headfirst into that cursed valley? That was a whole different kind of test for her belief in luck. And the worst part? When she had nothing – no resources to even start her cultivation journey, just pure despair.

But here’s the thing about Lu Mingshu: she refuses to accept things as they are, especially not unfavorable ones. She climbs out of the ashes, bit by bit, relying on sheer will and maybe some ruthless tactics along the way. And wow, does that path ever lead her to power! Her rise is so potent, it makes people genuinely *fear* her.

Her core philosophy? Absolutely no surrender. If justice isn't handed to you, she says, then you gotta seize it yourself, grab it by the horns even if it means being an absolute thorn in everyone's side. If fate thinks it can just toss you aside and ignore you? That’s a challenge she takes *personally*.

That mix of guts, strategic mind, and total refusal to bend to anyone’s will – including her own imagined limitations – is what makes Lu Mingshu tick. She stares down the concept of fate itself and declares that no matter what obstacles or betrayals come her way, she's going to become a *phoenix*. That phoenix wasn't just any bird; it was forged from fire, rising stronger than before.

And honestly? When someone talks about being ruthless for you like Lu Mingshu does ("ruthless woman," risking everything), and asks if you're moved at all... that stops being just an offer. It reflects her own nature perfectly! She embodies the struggle where every calculated step is a move against the odds, making her both admirable and deeply unsettling to behold.
