One-sentence synopsis: After becoming a cultivation world's cannon fodder, I use KPIs to whip the whole sect into shape.
Lin Zhiyi died suddenly.
She was an HR director at a major corporation. The last thing she did was process her own resignation.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become a menial servant and cannon fodder in a cultivation novel.
According to the original plot, she would be driven out of the sect in three months and freeze to death on a snowy night.
She read through the entire "Manual for Menial Servants," then sat in silence for a full hour.
No organizational structure, unclear promotion paths, a chaotic compensation system, and no performance feedback mechanism...
"How is this sect not bankrupt yet?"
That evening, she knocked on the finance elder's door.
"Elder, what if I told you I could cut your spiritual stone expenses by thirty percent without affecting the disciples' cultivation efficiency?"
The teacup in the elder's hand shattered.
From then on, the Qingyun Sect had KPIs, OKRs, 360-degree evaluations, forced ranking, and exit interviews.
Outer-sect disciples started writing weekly reports, inner-sect disciples had to give quarterly performance reviews, and even the elders had to attend performance meetings.
The day Sect Master Shen Xuanwei emerged from seclusion, he received his annual evaluation.
He read the line, "Areas for improvement: emotional management; reduce meeting cancellations caused by cultivation deviations," and fell silent.
"Lin Zhiyi," he looked up. "Did you come here to cultivate, or to make me work for you?"
Lin Zhiyi smiled. "Sect Master, working for you is the best way to cultivate."
[HR: I'm never afraid of the fiends of the cultivation world. I'm only afraid my employees won't fill out their weekly reports.]
Ridiculous workplace cultivation x cutting costs and boosting efficiency x the sect master keeps wanting to give me a raise
No angst, pure feel-good fun. Dive in without worry.
