The Chou Niu Family Has a Little Beauty

Niu Xiaohua, the only "pretty little cow" in the Chouniu family, got into the Cangqiong Sect to cultivate by having her entire clan sell everything they owned.

But after all that cultivation, she was still solidly in last place.

Her companion was Senior Brother Zhuang Yanyou, Jade Dust, a shameless clown who had been in second-to-last place for years.

The whole sect said, "Those two are the Cangqiong Sect's two good-for-nothings."

Until the Spring Festival Ceremony.

Tianjun Sect joined forces with several other sects in a series of battles, declaring they would "teach the Cangqiong Sect a lesson."

Zhuang Yanyou defeated one opponent after another, his swordsmanship stunning everyone.

Everyone: ???

Niu Xiaohua unleashed her primordial strength and headbutted someone right off the arena.

Everyone: !!!

The Tianjun Sect yelled furiously, "Is there something wrong with the Cangqiong Sect?! What kind of act are you two putting on?!"

A few things to know:

1. A clumsy, sincere, protective divine beast girl x a shameless, sharp-tongued man with a warm heart.

2. They train on the mountain in the first half, then fight monsters and solve mysteries in the second.

3. Boy-girl romance, old-school style, a bit of a slow burn. Not a conventional cultivation novel, not a standard wish-fulfillment novel, and not a traditional strong-female-lead story. A light ensemble cast, with their own storylines for all important characters.

Theme: Cunning can't beat sincerity. (Sincerity will always be the ultimate trump card.)
