[Transmigrate into a book + System + cutthroat competition in the cultivation world + no romance]
Ling Ye transmigrates into a cultivation novel as a good-for-nothing female side character, destined to be trampled to death by the senior disciple Liu Yuyao. With her bones about to be left unburied, she luckily activates a System that lets her leech benefits from others.
By leeching spiritual essence from her enemies, she transforms from a good-for-nothing with five spiritual roots into a cultivator with all-round spiritual roots. By leeching the world's spiritual energy, even the magical treasures she casually crafts are ancient divine artifacts. By leeching the opportunities in secret realms, she leaves the young prodigies of every faction with not even a drop to drink.
But as her strength skyrockets, she discovers that the opportunities in this cultivation world follow a bizarre pattern. Liu Yuyao's hostility toward her is not simply jealousy, either. It seems a far greater force is manipulating everything from behind the scenes.
Ling Ye sneers: “I don't care if you're the Heavenly Dao or some grand conspiracy. If you dare stand in the way of my leeching, I'll drain you dry until you question your whole existence!”
