Yan Zhao transmigrates into a book and becomes the sect master of the Beast Taming Sect.
She thinks she's got a feel-good comeback story, but the moment she opens her eyes, she discovers she's taken over a sect so poor it could dry out in the wind:
The spiritual rice is almost gone, the disciples are so hungry their eyes are glowing green, and she's the only Golden Core cultivator in the entire sect who can fight.
Even more outrageous, the System forces her to bind herself to five future demon overlords who will slaughter worlds and destroy sects.
Then she takes a look at reality:
All five have been tortured to within an inch of their lives, and they're all doomed to die. She can only grit her teeth and switch on her max-level care mode:
Yao Lin draws packs of demons while he's weak, so she guards the formation core alone for three days.
Bei Ao nearly dies undergoing his lightning tribulation, so she uses her life-bound magic treasure to take the Purple Heavens Thunder for him.
Shuang Ling suffers unbearable pain while molting and faints, so she removes each thorn one by one and mends his tendons.
Lan Jiu is hunted while transforming into a dragon, so she uses her own blood essence to cover his escape.
Ye Ning's demonic blood runs wild and he is surrounded, so she takes a blade for him before an army of ten thousand.
After Yan Zhao raises the five of them until they're lively and healthy, she thinks they can part ways with dignity.
Then she discovers... the plot has gone off the rails.
