A Cannon Fodder Cultivates Immortality Through Circuits and Cybernetics

*Slacker, laid-back undercover junior sister × senior brother, outwardly refined and gentle, inwardly obsessive

Chao Ying is an electrician, the kind who climbs utility poles.

While inspecting a substation, she ignored safety regulations and trusted a coworker too easily, getting electrocuted to a crisp.

When she wakes up, she's become a villainess, and one who's supposed to destroy the world.

In a world where everyone cultivates immortality, Chao Ying discovers that her spiritual power is electricity.

While everyone else cultivates using the Sunflower Manual, she opens a book on basic circuitry.

Is her body a PCB?

Are the harmful devices circuit diagrams?

This is exactly her line of work!

While she's doing her best to destroy heaven and earth,

she becomes a fellow disciple of Ji Yuqing, the best of his generation.

Everyone says he's refined and noble, a heaven-sent prodigy.

But who is this boy who tried to kill her at their very first meeting?

From then on, during her undercover missions, he takes every opportunity to make snide remarks at her.

This is no gentle, kind senior brother.

He's clearly a hypocrite who acts one way in public and another in private. Chao Ying decides to keep her distance.

She never expected that when her identity as an undercover agent is exposed,

that same senior brother who always gave her a hard time would stand in front of her, covered in blood, and defy his sect for the first time.

Ji Yuqing was doing just fine as the number one sword cultivator

until he suddenly met a strange woman.

She speaks and acts differently from everyone else, and whenever she is near, his inner power mysteriously dissipates.

She must have practiced some sinister, unorthodox technique. She can't be a good person.

But the way she says "Senior Brother" is especially sweet.

So, just to hear her say it a few more times, he works harder at cultivating and strengthening his abilities.

Later, Ji Yuqing discovers that when he gets physically close to her,

the loss of his inner power eases, and he can even cultivate twice as fast. Isn't that exactly what he wants?

By day, they are mutually respectful, loving fellow disciples. At night, they're just as loving and respectful.

Later, even when he finds out she's an undercover agent sent by an assassins' guild,

everyone tells him that the righteous and demonic factions are enemies, and the words of a demon can't be trusted.

But she's not that kind of person.

Coming-of-age story | Light ensemble cast

My own take on cultivation, with mountains of headcanon, the kind of mountains that could be Huangshan and Taishan.

Not a strong-female-lead story.

--Next book up for preorder. Someone wants to read it, right? You do, right? It'll happen, right?--

Tan Jiangning transmigrates into a book, becoming the exceptionally talented senior sister in a male-oriented fantasy novel. She's delighted, thinking she'll finally get to be the heroine's first love or something. But just as she's about to arrive, she realizes she's been scammed!

Several pale, naked bodies lie on a huge bed. The only woman among them is the character Tan Jiangning has transmigrated into. She roars at the System, "Send me back! This is fraud!"

Luckily, the System has a shred of humanity. It doesn't drop her into that scene right away, but sends her three years before it happens.

What a close call.

After transmigrating, Tan Jiangning realizes that she's no senior sister. Three years ago, she had already become the fallen immortal the world sees as someone who willingly abandoned the righteous path.

Luckily, everything has only just begun, so it's not too late. As long as she follows the System's missions and keeps the male and female leads together, the demonic energy inside her can be suppressed.

So this is a Mary Sue story disguised as a male-oriented fantasy.

Tan Jiangning works dutifully as the couple's romance bodyguard, only to wonder why she's the one who gets punished when the leads fight! The demonic energy inside her runs wild, and the only way to suppress it is to have sex.

Just as she's losing control, her senior brother returns.

In Xi Xiudu's mind, his junior sister is pure, kind, and brilliant. As children, she used to toddle after him, so adorable.

Then one day, he returns from a mission to discover that his beloved junior sister was provoked by some brat in the sect. Her Dao heart wavers during a breakthrough, she loses control, and becomes a fallen immortal.

Abuse and blame rain down on her from all sides. It doesn't matter. She's my junior sister, and I'll protect her.

But why does she willingly sink into depravity, deceiving him again and again, until she meets a grisly end: a life of debauchery and a thousand swords through her heart?

And he's always one step too late.

Thank goodness it was all just a dream. But when he returns to the sect, he discovers his junior sister has already fallen into depravity.

So none of it was a dream. This time, he'll protect her.

But when his junior sister struggles to suppress her demonic energy and looks at him with tearful eyes, he hesitates. No, his junior sister is innocent and pure. He can't harbor such thoughts about her.

"Senior Brother, I feel awful."

"Junior Sister, control yourself. Just hold on until it passes."

"Senior Brother, I can't hold on anymore. If you won't help me, I'll find someone else."

The always aloof and proud Senior Brother Yunze grits his teeth and helps the junior sister he grew up with.

Spoiled, high-maintenance junior sister × cold, strict senior brother

Motherly male lead
