After five grueling years, Cheng Wuyue had finally earned her PhD, only to have her life cut short by a speeding sports car.
When she opened her eyes again, a "Heavenly Dao Talent Program" System had come looking for her.
Mission: Become the peak master of Yuedu Peak at Tianyan Sect in the cultivation world, and train every disciple under her to ascend.
Reward: Return to her original world and receive a prestigious permanent position with an annual salary of five million, a nine-to-five schedule, and guaranteed job security.
Cheng Wuyue was ecstatic. Wasn't this the divine job she'd always dreamed of? For a secure job, she was all in!
But a high-paying, stable position wouldn't be easy to get.
Her eldest disciple had a mixed spiritual root, was insecure and gloomy, and could only be called "academic deadweight."
Her second disciple had the bearing of a prodigy, but was arrogant and refused to follow orders.
Her third disciple had extraordinary talent, yet was sensitive and prone to overthinking, making progress at a snail's pace.
Her youngest disciple was taciturn, always studying alone, and refused to communicate.
Facing this group of "problem students," Cheng Wuyue smiled. Good, this was just like supervising grad students! She would be sure to give them a good dose of psychological manipulation... no, squeeze them for all they were worth... no, encourage them to work hard at their cultivation and ascend as soon as possible.
She offered heartfelt encouragement to her insecure eldest disciple: "No one's done it before? Then you be the first! You'll be the first person with a mixed spiritual root to ascend. You'll be an expert in this field!"
She used pressure management on her arrogant second disciple: "Honestly, I'm a little disappointed in you. When I recruited you, I was counting on you to become the team's leader."
She gave her sensitive third disciple a soothing heart-to-heart: "Cultivation is an art, and it takes inspiration. I believe in your sensitivity, and I'm looking forward to your next breakthrough."
She bombarded her introverted youngest disciple with "literature": "You can't learn everything by studying alone. These are the cultivation techniques I've carefully selected for you. Make sure you master them thoroughly."
Not enough resources? Cheng Wuyue became an "academic enchantress," sweet-talking her senior brothers and mentors and pestering them for extra spirit pills and elixirs.
If the sect didn't have what she needed, she snuck into the demon realm, dated a handsome young demon, and tricked him into giving her plenty of important "experimental materials."
Watching her disciples' cultivation soar as her project progressed steadily, Cheng Wuyue breathed a sigh of relief. My position is secure!
But she'd overlooked the looks in her disciples' eyes. They had long since shifted from reverence to an unspeakable possessiveness.
Her senior brothers and mentors were growing more and more controlling under the guise of indulging her.
The talented demon she'd tricked out of his money and his heart turned out to be the ruler of the demon realm. He was about to storm her sect with his sword, swearing to take this "academic con artist" back with him and make her the Demon Empress.
When the whole love-triangle battlefield erupted, Cheng Wuyue finally realized in shock: I only wanted to run a good project and get a secure job. Why do all of you want to talk about love with me?
