The Sweet-Then-Scheming Senior Sister Plays Favorites Online

[Reading Guide] · Double-standard Sect Leader × life-preserving Head Disciple · A senior sister who seems cool and aloof but is actually fiercely possessive × a junior sister who seems timid but is actually a devoted wife-protector · Two female leads | Mutual devotion | Both pure | One-on-one | Slow burn · Qi Guannian is renowned in the cultivation world for being exceptionally careful with her life. Her only life motto is four words: Just stay alive. When the spirit-testing stone shows no reaction, she scrapes by into the outer sect by drawing talismans. When her senior sister is too outstanding, she acts obediently to scrape by as a registered disciple. Later, even when she takes on an apprentice, she only accepts someone who is “to her liking.” She thinks she’s been scraping by just fine. Until one day, she discovers that her cool, gentle senior sister, Sect Leader Xie Yunzhix, who treats her like a precious treasure, has been secretly bringing an inside traitor to heel, interrogating the Su family, and wielding an ancient demonic sword to kill three Soul Formation cultivators in Blackwind Valley, then eliminating all witnesses and thoroughly cleaning up the scene. Qi Guannian: ...? Xie Yunzhix wipes the blood from her sword and smiles at her tenderly. “What, are you scared?” Qi Guannian swallows, then suddenly throws herself into her arms: “Senior Sister, he was mean to me.” On the surface, it’s a cozy sect life where you teach me to draw talismans and I make you tea. Behind the scenes, you slaughter your way through enemies for me, and I search souls and silence witnesses for you. We’re utterly devoted to each other!
