The Heavenly Court Career Advancement Handbook

[Strong heroine + not a wish-fulfillment story + heroine’s growth + female-centered agency] Heaven is like the workplace, and the workplace is like a battlefield. She’ll probably have to fight alone. Ti Yan has been working at the Tianquan Palace for hundreds of years, coasting along. She has one dream: to become Heaven’s greatest female warrior. Unfortunately, things don’t go as planned. The only department willing to take her is the Ministry of Letters. Oh well, writing isn’t so bad! Then one day, every immortal tells her: “You are the only hope of the Six Realms!” Ti Yan: “Me?” Yeah, it feels like the higher-ups are workplace-gaslighting me. Since I’m here, I might as well make the best of it. They all say she’s chosen by fate, and Ti Yan wants to see who’s really playing whom. The immortals have probably forgotten by now that the little fairy from the Ministry of Letters, who usually writes routine reports and occasionally breaks up fights, nearly beat the souls out of her fellow candidates during the immortal examinations a thousand years ago. With a brush in hand, she can be a perfect lady. But once she takes up her spear, it’s anyone’s guess who’ll live or die.
