[Comprehensive wuxia crossover + System + romance pairing + slow burn]
The story of a knife becoming a person
*
Straightforward blurb:
The sentient spirit of a blade never thought there was anything great about being human, until she became a girl named Cuinong.
The fellow called the System wants her to become the best in the world. In return, it will grant her wish.
The blade spirit thinks it over and decides that sounds interesting.

Comedic blurb:
My name is Cuinong. I used to be a blade spirit, but now I’m a helpless young woman who couldn’t hurt a fly.
Listening to the fellow in my head called the System ramble on, Cuinong clenches her fists.
What?! I’m going to fall in love with a man who uses a blade, and die for him?
Cuinong frowns. “Nonsense! The only thing I love is my blade! Give it back to me, now!!!”
System: …
Much later, Cuinong gazes at the young man who uses a sword, completely satisfied, and says smugly, “See? I told you I like men who use swords!”
She mutters inwardly, “Don’t you know rivals in the same line of work are enemies? Among people in the same trade, I’ll always be better than you!”
System: …
Cuinong’s pairing is Lu Xiaojia, but there isn’t much romance in the story.
