In her previous life, Chu Youyou had her opportunities stolen and spiritual roots dug out by her scheming junior sister. She ended up as a “spiritual-root delivery girl,” helping the male and female leads ascend. Reborn, she packed her bags overnight and put on a public performance of “master and disciple devotion, the broke version” at the disciple selection ceremony: “Master! Your handkerchief fell into the latrine! I’ll go fetch it!” Then she quit the sect at lightning speed, fleeing faster than someone on a flying sword.
Who could have guessed that the “little beggar” she casually fed on the road was actually the beloved junior brother of a doomed sect next door? He clung to her leg and begged, “Senior Sister! Our sect needs a mascot... I mean, a genius!” Forced to join, Chu Youyou discovered that the entire sect was made up of short-lived cannon fodder from the original story. Her master was a master of blowing up his alchemy furnace, her senior brother always slashed his own crotch while practicing swordsmanship, and her second senior sister made money for milk tea by pretending to tell fortunes...
Determined to turn their fate around, Chu Youyou switched into “grindset mode.” She helped her master develop an anti-explosion helmet, helped her senior brother practice the Evil-Repelling Crotch Sword, and even left a note when she snatched an opportunity from the original heroine: “Hey, did you drop this golden sword or this silver one? Either way, they’re mine now :)”
Meanwhile, the original heroine’s junior sister kept dutifully following the script: “Senior Brother, she’s bullying me, sob sob...” Everyone replied, “Last time you sobbed, you stole someone’s magical treasure. Do you think we’re blind?”
At last, during the battle between immortals and demons, the junior sister roared, “Why don’t my tricks work on you?!” Chu Youyou pulled out a sack of memory stones. “Because our sect’s required course, Appreciating White Lotus Behavior and Avoiding Scams, got a perfect score. Didn’t see that coming, did you?”
Leaving a note: the female lead levels up on her own in the early stages, the ensemble cast will probably start in the middle, and the villains are like a persistent leech.
