After her toxic honesty earns her a curse, modern misanthrope Su Ian Hoo finds herself trapped as a male peacock in a fantastical, low-fantasy world run by a mocking System Interface. To break the curse, she must level up, completing trials that demand qualities she hates—like humility. But her quick wit and savage cunning turn her into the unexpected "Immortal Scam," a war hero leading an army while unwittingly becoming a pawn in a deadly struggle for power between an ancient dragon's legacy and a looming psychic threat. The war for the world has begun, and the greatest weapon is a furious, flightless bird.
