Because I Fear Pain, I Became the Toughest Woman

Crushed by a falling jumper, Chu Jiao wakes up in a xianxia novel—as the heroine's disposable meat shield. Destined to die gloriously protecting the protagonist, five-year-old Chu Jiao says "absolutely not" and flees to the Four Symbols Sect, where money solves everything and eccentricity is a virtue. Armed with a powerful alchemy system, she'll craft elixirs, hoard wealth, and forge herself into an invincible fortress. No more cannon fodder deaths—this time, she's building a body even heaven can't break.
