Need Help Surviving Tribulation? Ask Me, Everyone Gives Me Five Stars

Tangxi Mingzhu stayed up all night watching short videos about villainesses. When she woke up, a system had dumped her into the world of immortal cultivation and ordered her to draw cards, create a character, and complete villainess missions.

Her first card made her the posthumous daughter of a Sword Immortal. The villain stole her sword bone, and her intelligence was crushed down to that of a toddler.

System: You are a low-IQ, incompetent villainess who envies the heaven's favorite. Current mission: steal the senior brother's sword bone and make him fall into the mortal world.

Tangxi Mingzhu: I'm a good-for-nothing. How am I supposed to steal the sword bone of a prodigy? Are you serious?

System: It's fine, it's fine! That's how these stories go: you torment the male lead, he torments you, and then you live happily ever after and have children. The road is winding, but the ending is beautiful!

Tangxi Mingzhu: ...Nope.

Everyone knew the Mirror of Fate would find the person destined to receive it, reveal their trials, and reward them once they overcame them.

The senior brother had stared into the mirror for years, waiting in vain for his junior sister to turn dark and jealous. Looking at the adorable, kindhearted girl, he pulled out a broken mirror. "Junior sister, the prophecy says you'll harm me. Why don't you help me stage it? I'll use an illusion to make a fake sword bone. You can take it, and I'll pretend to be badly injured and go vacation in the mortal world. We'll split the reward."

Tangxi Mingzhu fell silent for a long time. "I'm an honest person. I can't do something that would hurt you, Senior Brother."

"Then do it as a favor for your senior brother!"

[Mission complete]

The senior brother was safe and sound. She took her reward to the mortal world and brought nutritious supplements to the "victim."

Later, every male and female lead she'd "harmed" was alive and well, and had become one of her backers.

When the System returned, it was stunned. "How did you complete the missions?"

Tangxi Mingzhu: I outsource the missions and pocket the difference. Not one dissatisfied customer.

Extra Scene:

Senior Brother Sword God: Step right up! Free readings from the Mirror of Fate! Thoughtfully arranged trial NPCs to help fellow cultivators level up without the pain!

Tangxi Mingzhu: Senior Brother, senior brother, shouldn't you mention the mirror's rewards? Will this really attract people?

Senior Brother: Junior sister, you're still too kind. Us saviors who outsource people's trials have to take a cut!

Tangxi Mingzhu, who had already pocketed a cut herself, looked at her completely unsuspecting senior brother. "Um... I don't think that's quite right, is it?"

(Originally titled "I Outsourced the Villainess Missions")

[Kind, clever cutie + everyone begs her to be a villainess + quietly leveling up + pocketing every cut + everyone has a one-sided crush]

Theme: Good intentions forge their own path; the way home is the heart's true calling
