    She's a sword cultivator, but she also cultivates poison; it's quite good. It's the best cultivation novel I've seen on Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform). You should give it a try. The author mentioned in the extra chapters that there might be a hint of a relationship between the male lead and the sect's patriarch in the main story, which I didn't like. Luckily, he doesn't have much screen time, appearing only once every few dozen chapters, but the rest of the story is still very enjoyable.

    Perfectly fitting. (No romance + ensemble cast + comedic cultivation + strong female lead) 300 million arrived, about to set sail, and in the blink of an eye, she was transmigrated. Was it the destruction of humanity or the decline of morality? Good news, she transmigrated into the body of a vicious female supporting character who had committed numerous evils. If she was killed, she could go back to her original world. She looked at her subordinate with great interest, "Honey, I see the sword at your waist is quite nice, can you stab me?" Subordinate's inner monologue: Is she targeting me there? He drew his sword and was about to slit his own throat. Lu Zhezhi stopped him. This subordinate had a misunderstanding. It's okay, the people who want to kill her could line up from the South Pole to the North Pole, one more won't make a difference. The second male lead is devilishly beautiful, she decided to go back and use his face to find a male concubine. She pretended to tease him, and the second male lead became angry and tried to put a protective seal on her. Lu Zhezhi, "..." Is this guy a masochist? In desperation, she slammed her hand on a rock and imprinted it on the stone. The second male lead immediately vomited three mouthfuls of blood, but he still wouldn't kill her. Oh no, he really is a masochist. The third male lead had a late-night chat in her boudoir, hesitating before killing her. Lu Zhezhi smacked him on the head with a pillow, "Villains die from talking too much, you know? Hurry up and do it!" As a result, the third male lead took the blow for the male lead. On her first day in the book, the male lead died—and he died protecting her! What? Later, Lu Zhezhi joined the cannon fodder sect that the female lead had wiped out. All four of her senior brothers loved the female lead; they were infatuated with love, obsessed with love, and even killed each other because of it. Lu Zhezhi initially intended to coldly watch them perish, but she was moved by their genuine affection. "Senior brothers, step aside, junior sister will take you flying!"
