This one was pretty good. Of all the books I've read on Tomato Bookstore, this is one of the few I've actually finished. No romantic pairing, no livestreaming, the classic "real or fake heiress" trope, but no forgiveness, and even some cliffhangers—it was satisfying.

It's so good! It's exactly the kind of strong female lead novel I wanted, with no romance. Every detail is so touching. The relationships between the characters, their family, friends, master, and grandmaster are especially moving. 🥺🥺🥺 I was so moved. Thankfully, the female lead survived in the end. It's a pity that her grandmaster, or rather, the little fox who had waited for her for hundreds of years, still disappeared while protecting her. It brought tears to my eyes. Highly recommended!

A Foundation Establishment Ancestor who has lived for ten thousand years is bound to a villain-saving system from the start. While others take on disciples to impart knowledge and skills, she only takes on insane villains: a Hehuan Sect senior sister who was murdered for her infatuation with a Buddhist cultivator; a Tengshe male second lead who forcibly took the female lead and drove her to suicide; a stuttering scholar who killed his lover and his entire clan, becoming a demon; an empress who sacrificed thousands to possess her own sister; and a love-starved, suspicious demonic black lotus… The sect's first rule: No betraying your master or ancestors (and absolutely no dating the Ancestor!). Betray outsiders, betray your teammates—fight only your own fellow disciples! The system crashes: I asked you to save the villains, not teach them to do evil!
