[Please add my next book, The Real Heiress Cultivates Immortality with Money [Book Transmigration], to your collection] #It really is a female-led cultivation novel, even if it doesn't look like one# How bad can things get at your lowest point? I was the daughter of the prime minister's household, famed throughout the land for both my talent and beauty. The Crown Prince sought my hand, but I chose the least favored prince instead. At last, I helped him ascend the throne and became empress, thinking we'd spend our lives together. Then my husband ran me through with his sword, leaving me with nothing but the words, "Thank you for helping me through my tribulation of love." Damn, that's awful. How did you move on? I became a lonely spirit, sought out a sect, and took my ex-husband as my master... ??? What kind of toxic relationship is this? I wasn't finished. I became his disciple and used our old feelings to make him fall in love with me. Then I tortured him, and finally killed my master to attain the Dao, took his place, and became the greatest sword cultivator in the Six Realms. Synopsis Two The Kunlun Sect is renowned throughout the world for its sword cultivators. Its most powerful sword cultivator is honored as the "Cloudbreaker Lord." Mingwei earned the title at the age of three hundred and held it for a thousand years. Even the Demon Emperor dared not act rashly before the greatest sword cultivator in the world. Yet Jun Yunxiao was a mere lonely spirit who couldn't even wield a sword, and she declared, "I will kill my master to attain the Dao." Everyone waited for her to die and have her Dao destroyed. Instead, they saw the aloof, moonlike Cloudbreaker Lord clutching her wide sleeve in utter disarray, eyes red as he begged in a hoarse voice, "Qingqing..." "You're sorry? You still love me? Master, is my life so worthless in your eyes? Do you think six careless words can make up for it?" Jun Yunxiao sighed gently and thrust out her sword. "Sorry, but I only want... blood for blood." As his soul shattered, Mingwei looked down at the sword in his chest. "...Shattered Silk." It was the sword of love he'd given her during his tribulation, and the sword he'd used to kill his wife and attain the Dao. That year, holding her close, he whispered in her ear, "Qingqing, we'd rather die a thousand deaths with our wings of Shattered Silk than bear to be parted beneath the clouds." ※ A gentle, scheming beauty VS an aloof, arrogant sword immortal. ※ A husband groveling to win her back, with the male lead suffering.

Please add it to your collection. After failing to ascend, the sword cultivator Xiang Wanwan transmigrates into a modern urban cultivation novel written for a male audience, becoming the real heiress of a wealthy family. Her spiritual root is impure, her body is frail, and she's been declared incapable of cultivation. The false heiress arrogantly breaks off her engagement and humiliates the male lead, only to end up with no inheritance rights. The real heiress is found at a young age, wealthy beyond measure, beautiful and kind, and wholly devoted to helping the male lead cultivate. At last, she gets engaged to him again. Sounds wonderful, right? But in the book's ending, the male lead is deeply in love with the false heiress, who also has the perfect physique for dual cultivation. So he carries on with the false heiress while acting lovey-dovey with the real heiress. In the end, the real heiress spends her entire inheritance on him and dies saving him. The male lead claims the real heiress will always be his wife and that he'll never marry again. Then he takes the false heiress and a bunch of other women as girlfriends, cheating so much he might as well have eight tentacles. After reading the story, Xiang Wanwan says, "...The male lead and the false heiress are made for each other. I wish you happiness. I'm out." Who needs a male lead? Her ordinary, unremarkable superpower of having money is all she needs. The spiritual root is impure? Xiang Wanwan goes to the top medical cultivator's home. Her assistant sets down a check: "A billion. Please repair our young lady's spiritual root." Her body is frail? Xiang Wanwan goes to a spirit-plant auction. Her assistant raises a paddle: "Three hundred million. Our young lady wants that Southbright Fire Lingzhi." The false heiress, agonizing over whether to have an egg with her pancake today, sobs, "Sister! Sister, look at me!" The male lead, whose cultivation is slow without the help of heavenly treasures, cries, "My love! Liu Bei wanted to take Jingzhou with all his heart. All I want is to marry you!" Xiang Wanwan toys with the peerless treasure in her hand and tells her assistant, "Keep an eye on the trending topics. Don't let them ride our coattails." "Yes, Young Lady." Her assistant bows slightly. What kind of trash male lead is that? She wouldn't want him even if he were free. Her assistant is much more useful. What's a man, anyway? Her life-bound spirit sword is the real beauty. Too bad it didn't come with her. Xiang Wanwan mutters, then props her chin on her hand and asks, "Assistant Pei, do you like ore?" Her sword loves ore, and the more precious it is, the more it likes to eat it. In her previous life, she was so poor trying to feed the little treasure that she started fasting at fifteen. Her assistant Pei, always serious, gives his staff instructions. His features look especially striking and handsome in the light of the years, and his voice is cool and clear. "I used to. Not anymore." After saying that, his Adam's apple bobs a few times. His fingers, gripping the mouse, turn white with tension as he waits for her to ask him one thing. Then what do you like now? I like you. Theme: Follow your own path, with self-respect and strength
