I’m Clearly Powerful, Yet I Have to Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger

Also known as: Stick to the script from her past life, and she’ll solve the endgame in a man-dominated world [Transmigrate into a book + heroine cracks jokes + past and present lives + no romance + ridiculous System + patriarchal world] After a failed surgery, Xia Ning quick-transmigrated into a novel as an extra who had never even appeared on the page. The bad news was that it was a world where men outranked women, and she had somehow taken the original heroine’s place and gotten bound to a “ridiculous System.” She’d only wanted to keep her head down and stay alive, but the System coaxed her onto the path of Cultivation. Xia Ning: “You’re coaxing me into Cultivation? This is freaking unbelievable! That damn System sure thinks highly of itself!” System: Not listening, not listening. The tortoise is chanting sutras. But she never expected to meet like-minded people along the way. System: “Your senior brother seems to like you!” Xia Ning: “Then isn’t this whole thing screwed? The guy cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness likes me?” System: “Yep~” Xia Ning: “Blergh, did he get hit in the head? Is he crazy? Is this right? Huh?” So Xia Ning decided to stay away from them and go become the Demon Lord of the Myriad Demons instead. When people from the Heavenly Dao tried to take Xia Ning’s life Xia Ning: “Chasing me, chasing me, you chased me all the way here! Are you weasels trying to get someone to grant you a title?” When someone from the Heavenly Dao called Xia Ning uncultured Xia Ning: “My manners are up for debate, but my upbringing isn’t. I treat people the way they treat me. I can lack manners, but I can’t lack upbringing.” Xia Ning: In short, if the Heavenly Dao makes my life miserable, I’ll make life miserable for the people around it. I won’t go easy on anyone or show mercy. I’ll pay them back in kind, pure and simple.
