I Became the Beloved of Everyone in the Cultivation World by Catching Ghosts and Making Talismans

[Funny occult arts + no romance + a touch of ensemble cast + everyone’s favorite]

Su Yang was a modern Taoist who diligently (lazily) ran a funeral business. One day, she woke up as the disposable senior sister, a heterodox cultivator whose spiritual root had been dug out to benefit the adored junior sister in a cultivation novel.

Fine, you win. I’ll take this script and do things my way!

So what if my spiritual root was dug out? I have the bloodline of a rare spirit beast!

As she enjoyed her laid-back life in a famous sect of do-gooders, her only shred of conscience made her decide to help her caring senior brothers escape their tragic fate as the adored heroine’s lovesick admirers.

The eldest senior brother, perpetually sleepy and weary of life, sees the heroine as a ray of hope. Unfortunately, she eventually sacrifices him to pave the way for the male lead’s success.

Seeing this, Su Yang slaps him awake. “Eldest Senior Brother, how badly do you need light? Want a lightbulb that stays on all day?”

The seemingly flirtatious, scheming third senior brother is actually the heroine’s loyal, love-struck puppy. In the end, he’s also killed by the demon lord’s male supporting character because he’s not powerful enough to save her.

Su Yang draws a formation of demons dancing wildly, her face expressionless, then smiles invitingly. “Third Senior Brother, do you know what a happy ending for a lovesick fool looks like?”

Watching his junior sister pull off one outrageous stunt after another, the fourth senior brother can’t help sobbing and clutching his chest. “Junior Sister, I’m a good, simple man. I wouldn’t...”
