The Useless Sword God: I Became an Empress Through Archaeology

Transmigrated into the body of a good-for-nothing with shattered sword meridians, Ye Qingli just wants to laze around.

She has barely been dumped by her fiancé when a mysterious swordsman corners her in a ruined temple:

"You've seen my sword. Either die, or become mine."

Ye Qingli whips out an IOU. "You owed me a life in our last life. Pay up in this one."

The aloof swordsman is dumbfounded. "???"

Later...

She casually picks up a broken stone and uncovers ancient sword intent.

She casually digs a hole and unearths twelve divine artifacts.

She casually drops by a ruin and discovers she's actually the Sword Emperor reborn!

The myriad worlds tremble, and the Heavenly Dao descends.

Everyone thinks she's doomed.

Only Di Linyuan clasps her hand tightly:

"You strike down the Heavenly Dao. I'll protect you."

"If you fall, I'll follow you into reincarnation."

Ye Qingli smiles.

"Who says I'm going to fall?"

"Today, I'll continue the Sword Emperor's legend."
