A goofy, fiercely protective, naturally gifted heroine vs. a gloomy, sly, lovesick male lead (strong female lead + powerful heroine + ensemble cast + a System that makes everyone evil)
Two hundred years after her death, Jiang Qingyue unexpectedly returns to the living world.
It turns out she was assigned by the Heavenly Dao to be a wicked cannon-fodder character. For the past two hundred years, a soul from another world has occupied her body, wreaking havoc and mistreating her disciples, driving her own soft-hearted eldest disciple, Xie Buyi, to become a gloomy young man covered in scars and left with a disability in his leg.
Now the whole mess has landed in her lap. Worse still, there’s a broken System inside her, watching her constantly. If she lets it catch on, she’s done for.
To return to the human world, she owes the King of Hell a full hundred million top-grade spirit stones.
She has no choice but to work off her debt while tricking the idiotic System into giving her information.
What? Qin Li of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is the Child of Heaven? Her cheap little disciple is the heroine of a cultivation furnace story?
The Heavenly Dao wants her dead? She’ll overturn the entire Divine Realm and start over.
Her eldest disciple, Xie Buyi, is a formation genius. Her youngest disciple, Qu Ling’er, is a pill-refining prodigy.
Even her silly younger brother, Jiang Qingfeng, is a master craftsman.
Jiang Qingfeng: “Sis, what should we do with him this time? Pan-fry him or deep-fry him?”
Qu Ling’er: “I think he’d be better served cold.”
Xie Buyi: “Too much trouble. Just chop him up. It’s quicker.”
Jiang Qingyue: “...No. He’s the Child of Heaven. Let’s keep him around and squeeze out all his value first.”
Xie Buyi: “Master, my senior uncle said you were once betrothed to me.”
“Since you don’t want to marry... I’ll marry you instead.”
“Besides, we’ve already cultivated together.”
Jiang Qingyue: “...When?”
Xie Buyi: Every full moon night.
