Synopsis

[Traditional cultivation + System + genius protagonist + satisfying wish fulfillment + wicked female lead + no main-story romance, though she has a one-sided admirer]

Merchants value profit over parting.

After successfully eliminating her other illegitimate siblings and inheriting the family business, Ning Zhao pulls an all-nighter and dies of exhaustion. She transmigrates into a female-oriented cultivation novel titled After Proving My Dao by Killing My Husband, I Ascended on the Spot.

And she is the cannon-fodder female supporting character, given only a few lines to make the heroine shine!

The heroine’s true lapdog, her former fiancé: “You and I were never meant to belong to the same world. If you have any self-respect, we should part on good terms.”

[Ding! Host has triggered the plot and successfully activated the “I Want to Cultivate Immortality, and Joy Shall Reach the Heavens” System. How will you respond to your fiancé’s humiliation?]

A. Say heroically, “Heh. The river shifts east for thirty years, then west for thirty years. Don’t look down on a young man just because he’s poor.”

B. Say self-pityingly, “Forget it. In the end, I was the one who reached above my station...”

C. Say indignantly, “You old bastard, you’ve gone too far!”

Ning Zhao: ...What’s going on?

I’m not sure. Let’s wait and see.

[Content notes: The story contains foreshadowing and doesn’t rely much on the System. It mainly follows the traditional cultivation path.

The female lead is flawed, has questionable values, and puts self-interest first. She has a few principles, but not many.

There may be rivalry between women, but it will never be over love or a man!

As usual, there are lots of author-created details. There are a few romantic subplots, but they won’t affect the reading experience. If that bothers you, read at your own risk! No “strong female lead, even stronger male lead” dynamic. The final pairing will be revealed in the extras.]

Author: If you like it, give it a try. If you don’t, close the page. Please don’t flame the story! (Read the synopsis carefully and make sure you’re okay with the premise before starting. Haters, please stay away. Thanks!)

Cultivation Stories These Days Are So Cringey, and Female-Oriented Stories Are Always About Women Competing Against Women

Are there any cultivation novels for a female audience with a CP, but a little more refreshing and unconventional? No rivalry between women, no rivalry between women, no rivalry between women! No CP, no CP, no CP, no CP, no CP! She should care about the world, not spend the whole story thinking about romance.

I quite like the female lead's personality, and the plot is good too. It's just my personal preference, but no matter what novel I read, I don't really like the main characters having too much ambiguous romantic subplots. Personally, I feel that Mu Yuzhong and the female lead are a good match, but reading the later epilogues felt a bit off, like something was missing...

Beautiful, very beautiful I hope the extra chapters will show Mu and Chong ending up with the female lead. Who can resist a loyal dog who knows how to manipulate himself? "And why does she only bully me and not others? So, rounding up, she still likes me."

Pretty good Our Yao is definitely the female lead—decisive, intelligent, and adorably ambitious. Ahhh, that little vine is so good at flaunting her talents, hahaha! I especially love how the female lead acts all high and mighty—who knows what I mean… Ah, Fairy Maiden is so cute! Her brother looks like her male mom, hahaha. There's also a girl who likes to tease Yao Zhi. She's so cute!

This is a truly satisfying read; it's not frustrating, it doesn't involve playing dumb to outsmart others, and it's not understated or low-key. If she absolutely had to define the path she cultivates... She thought it must be... Her alone. He only considers his own perspective and acts solely according to his own desires. —If there is no Dao for me in this world, then I will take my body as the Dao.

The female lead's personality is just my type! She perfectly embodies the profit-driven nature of a businessman, and her arrogance—always seemingly escaping death—is incredibly captivating and inspiring. I hope the author will continue to do well in the future. Since you don't plan to include romance in the main story, please focus on your work!

This is so good, I finished it in one go! Please, author, produce more! I love the female lead so much! She's decisive, doesn't hesitate, and is reliable. She knows how to find a powerful backer and communicates with her master constantly. She doesn't act blindly or hide anything, and she's so eloquent—I love her!

Not bad, not bad. So far, there aren't any major flaws. The writing style is quite humorous. Finally, a book where the female lead and the original female lead have a normal relationship is being written about. The female lead's personality really resonates with me; I like her a lot.

This is one of my absolute favorites 🤧 I've read a lot of books of this type, but this one is truly unique. The female lead's personality is exactly to my taste; this self-serving character is incredibly appealing—she's so confident and unrestrained.

A 7.4 Rating is unacceptable! I'm giving this author a boost! I'm following all three books! 😢 I love each and every one of them, reading them day and night. Each character has their own unique style and personality, and they all resonate with me. Please don't abandon this one! 😢😢 Those who don't like it, please turn left and leave. You don't even read the synopsis or warnings, do you?
