[Multiple Heroines, Cunning and Protective, Sect on the Rise, Feel-Good Xianxia]
Before Lu Xuan is even dead, someone comes knocking, setting his sights on his childhood sweetheart.
The reason is simple: he's a useless cauldron furnace of the Hehuan Sect, with only three days left to live.
Three days later, his drained corpse will be sent to the back mountain, his savings of spirit stones will go to the steward, and even his name will be forgotten.
Bai Yao refuses to accept her fate. She offers her last savings in exchange for one chance to cultivate together.
That night, the Dao-Union Diagram in Lu Xuan's sea of consciousness awakens.
If both parties willingly cultivate together, they can accumulate divine insights. The diagram can reveal solutions to flaws in techniques, stubborn pill toxins, and weaknesses in killing formations.
At last, he can cultivate. He also finally sees the truth: his “useless” body has long been cultivated into a vessel for a certain righteous master to seize.
Waiting for the fruit to ripen before picking it?
Then let's see which of us dies first.
The aloof senior sister endures hardship to protect the sect, the alluring second senior sister cares only for money, the sweet sword cultivator swings at everyone she sees, and even the gentle healer has a surprisingly unyielding side.
Lu Xuan and the women each have their own goals. What starts as a transaction soon has them all wagering their lives together.
Fight their way out of the cauldron courtyard, topple the elders, then storm the righteous sect's wedding feast to snatch someone away.
“A cauldron furnace from the Hehuan Sect dares to come steal the bride?”
Lu Xuan pushes open the hall doors.
“Allow me to correct you.”
“I'm the cauldron furnace who has subdued the sect master now.”
Not bad, quite creative
Without deliberately trying to be cool, the choice between the road and the heart is touchingly written. Even the supporting characters have complete stories, but the character names are a bit illegible.
