[Leveling-up wish fulfillment + hilarious, sweet romance] With an exceptional spiritual root, she can coast through cultivation. This money-loving legitimate daughter fleeces the entire cultivation world, making money and breaking through realms while hilariously swindling powerful figures. It's so sweet it'll give you a toothache, and so funny you won't be able to stop laughing!
After staying up all night and making a fatal mistake in her accounts, seasoned accountant Ye Su transmigrates into the body of a legitimate daughter from a small cultivation family. Others cultivate to seek immortality; she cultivates to get rich! Blessed with a once-in-a-century, exceptional single fire spiritual root, one hour of meditation is worth three days of hard cultivation for anyone else. But all she can think about is spirit stones, and she's both miserly and hilarious.
Others meditate to break through; she meditates while working out the numbers on her abacus. Others slay monsters to rid the world of evil; she searches their bodies for spirit stones first, even weighing up how much a villain's torn belt might fetch. She can't bear to spend spirit stones on a lamp, but doesn't mind burning her curls with spiritual fire. Her miniature abacus never leaves her side.
The Tianyan Sect's recruitment trials are coming up, and she's determined to get in, not for the sect's glory but for the monthly stipend and core rewards. Her goal is to save enough spirit stones to achieve financial freedom! But then she runs into Shen Yan, the Tianyan Sect's aloof, by-the-book envoy. One clings to the sect rules, even carrying a copy of the Sect Rules, while the other keeps demanding spirit stones, leaving the cold, imposing expert speechless and constantly breaking character.
“First place in the assessment gets fifty spirit stones. I won't do it for a single stone less!” “There's no rule about that.” (He silently takes out the spirit stones.) “I want a performance-based commission on the pills I sell!” “Thirty percent.” (He turns around and helps her land high-paying jobs.) He thinks she's obsessed with money, yet willingly helps her manage her spirit stones and shield her from trouble. When he miscalculates, he awkwardly offers her spirit stones to cheer her up. She fleeces him, yet stays up all night making the best pills for him when he runs short. She complains that it's a loss, but her ledger is full of entries marked “For Shen, the Deadweight.”
So beautiful [admiration]
