[No Romance, No Feelings, Everyone's Overthinking, Heroine Only Wants to Build Things]
Yun Zhen was a national-level cultural relic restorer. The moment she opened her eyes, she'd transmigrated.
Into the body of the foremost of the Ten Great Demon Venerables.
And one who had failed to ascend and died on the spot, at that.
On the day she took over, she inventoried her assets:
One body past its warranty date (and bald);
One collapsed sect;
Seventeen mouths to feed;
And one low-grade demon crystal.
The righteous sects wanted her dead, Heaven wanted her dead, and the Source-Eater was already at her door.
Yun Zhen took a deep breath and opened the ancestral tool case.
If she couldn't cultivate immortality, surely she could still repair things?
And then she sent the entire cultivation world's style of life askew:
The sect-protecting formation collapsed?
Mortise-and-tenon joints and structural reinforcement. The shoddy project now came with a thousand-year warranty.
An ancient ferocious flood dragon blocked the shipping route?
One round with the ultrasonic descaling machine, and its century-old barnacles came right off. The dragon lord roared with joy as he transformed into a true dragon.
A wayward disciple causing trouble?
The fox king of the black market who'd absconded with the money, an ancient black dragon who'd been socially anxious for ten thousand years, and a blind sword cultivator who'd guarded the sect alone...
Not one of them escaped. They all ended up working three shifts in the workshop.
Later, the entire cultivation world knelt before her, claiming she'd plotted for ten thousand years and was unfathomably deep.
Only Yun Zhen herself was baffled. She hadn't planned anything at all?!
She'd simply succumbed to professional habit: when she saw something broken, she wanted to fix it.
She fixed formations, artifacts, people, and earth veins. Before long, she'd turned the Demon Realm's garbage dump into ten thousand acres of demon farmland and a home filled with lights.
On the day ten thousand demons came to pay homage, Yun Zhen squatted on the field ridge and gave orders:
"No need to kneel, no need! Line up on the left to register for grain rations. Get a number on the right to collect your farming tools."
I devoured over 40 chapters in one go! It was my first time reading a fantasy/infrastructure-themed novel, and I initially thought it wouldn't be very interesting, but the whole concept was surprisingly imaginative and fun. It was hilarious! 😄
