The demon queen Hu Meimei transmigrates into a fox den on Green Kite Mountain.
She is also bound to a System run by a corporate lackey that exploits her labor.
In her previous life, she worked herself like an ox for her boss just to survive. Even after death, she still has to work herself like an ox for her boss.
Sometimes, she wonders if she was born to toil, a workhorse in every life.
Other people transmigrate and get so much money they can barely spend it. She struggles and works hard, only to end up buried in a mountain of debt she can never repay.

Shen Yuan ought to hate Hu Meimei.
After all, in the war of the gods more than ten thousand years ago, she kicked him down from his position as God of War, then ruled the demon realm herself for years.
If it weren't for the imbalance among the six realms, she would never have gone to such lengths to "invite" him back to his post.
But while searching for him, she mistook someone else for him, causing a god who should have ascended to become a demon instead.
Xiao Qi: [This is bad, this is bad. You're going to die.]
Hu Meimei: "So what do we do?"
Xiao Qi: [Forget it, let's restart.]

[Congratulations, Host, on beginning your cultivation journey. I am your most loyal companion: Xiao Qi.]
Hu Meimei: ?
[Complete any three "cause panic" events each month. Each event must generate at least 200 panic points.]
[Ultimate mission: Find your destined companion and help him cultivate to immortality.]
[Reminder: Failure to meet the target will trigger a heavenly lightning punishment. The longer you are overdue, the more severe the punishment will be.]
[Have a pleasant time sowing chaos.]
Hu Meimei: What? I was a corporate drone in the modern world, and now I've transmigrated to a cultivation world to be a cultivation-world corporate drone?
She decides to defy fate and change her destiny. If Heaven is unjust, then she will destroy Heaven and the Dao.
The world is full of prejudice, so she will break those prejudices.
She will show everyone: The mind is inherently neither good nor evil. Good and evil arise from intention. Knowing good from evil is conscience, and practicing good while rejecting evil is the way to cultivate oneself.
[Daoist priest vs. demon queen]
Xiao Qi: Host, you're a demon. Demons have to do bad things, or this System will dock your performance points.
Hu Meimei: You don't understand. This is what I call taking the roundabout route to save the country.
Daoist Shen: ??? You're a fox demon, but you spend every day saving lives and healing the wounded?
Hu Meimei: Who says a demon has to be evil?
Theme: If Heaven is unjust, I will defy it.
