[Female-Oriented Strong Heroine] [Lighthearted and Hilarious] [Lottery System] [Everyone Misreads the Situation] [Ensemble Sect Cast] [No Romance] [The Working Class’s Voice] [Reverse Rat Race]
Overworked wage slave Gu Tingshuang suddenly dies and becomes the short-lived, vicious peak master of Yunmiao Peak in the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect. The original owner’s cultivation has fallen, and she has only six months to live. Worse, she has tormented her four adopted disciples, future demon lords destined to destroy the world, until they’re covered in wounds. Their favorability toward her starts below minus one hundred! To top it all off, she has a fear of heights and can barely fight.
Fortunately, in the depths of her desperation, she binds herself to the [Heavenly Fortune Critical-Hit Lottery System]. Raising her disciples’ favorability or helping them break through earns her lottery draws for top-grade opportunities and spirit treasures. She also gets “Shennong Spirit Sight,” which lets her see the energy tiers of all things. To stay alive, Gu Tingshuang launches an all-out rescue effort: she hands out top-grade divine pills, calling them low-grade candy beans, and casually digs up what looks like wild vegetables on the back mountain, only to find an ancient divine herb!
All she wants is to lie flat and quietly scrape by until she reaches immortality. Who could have guessed that every one of her rebellious disciples would awaken the ability to read far too much into everything!
The beautiful but tragic eldest disciple: “Master forced me to take a Nine-Turn Golden Pill. She must have known my inner demons weren’t gone and used herself as bait to save me!”
The sharp-tongued second disciple: “She called me useless, but she was really condemning the unfairness of Heaven. Such breadth of vision makes her a model for all ages!”
The sect elders: “The people of Yunmiao Peak lie around in the sun all day. So they’re contemplating the supreme laws of Heaven!”
Watching her disciples drive themselves relentlessly and sweep across the Nine Provinces, Gu Tingshuang can only weep in frustration. “I really am just slacking off! Please stop reading so much into everything!”
