My Fellow Disciples Are All Proud Gods, but I'm Just an Ordinary Mortal

Under the Xuantian Sect, the greatest sect in the cultivation world, there was a tiny offshoot of an offshoot of an offshoot called the Aotian Sect. The Aotian Sect sat on the most barren little hill in Xuantian Mountain. To survive: The eldest senior sister ran all over the world but could only take small jobs for spirit stones. The second senior brother offered a whole range of low-end services, including drawing talismans, refining pills, and crafting artifacts for hire. The third senior brother worked as a bodyguard for people every day. The fourth senior sister, despite her petite five-foot frame, helped other people mine. The fifth senior brother cleaned other sects' premises for a meager wage. Even the youngest junior sister, who had no cultivation at all, had to run from sect to sect every day, hauling goods, delivering letters, and making deliveries. As a result, the task of guarding the gate fell to their master. The grand sect leader spent every day lying by the entrance like an old gatekeeper. With the worst living conditions and scarce resources, and every member of the sect doing the lowliest work, the Aotian Sect was practically the most inconspicuous sect in all of Xuantian. But nobody in this world knew that... The entire Aotian Sect was actually the protagonist squad of a story about a group of overpowered male and female leads. The Aotian Sect's eldest senior sister was a player. To avoid her overwhelming number of romantic entanglements, she created five, six, seven, eight, nine... secret identities. Her real self ranked near the bottom of the mission board, but the top ten spots were all taken by her secret identities. The Aotian Sect's second senior brother wasn't a pill cultivator, a talisman cultivator, or an artifact cultivator, but he was an expert at drawing talismans, refining pills, crafting artifacts... you name it. Oh, and the one said to have forged the once-in-a-thousand-years divine artifact, the Bad Luck Sword, was him too. The Aotian Sect's third senior brother was an overpowered male lead in the broken-engagement genre. Every time he finished a bodyguard job, he somehow ended up both engaged and dumped. So far, he'd been dumped more than three hundred times. The Aotian Sect's fourth senior sister was a body cultivator. Mining helped her train, and thanks to all that mining, she had reached the late stage of the Golden Core at just eighteen. The Aotian Sect's fifth senior brother was a good-for-nothing who kept stumbling into life-changing opportunities. No matter where he went to clean, he always ran into an expert from beyond the world who helped him rapidly improve his cultivation. Even their master, who guarded the gate, was a retired, laid-back overpowered male lead who loved lying down. But if he ever stood up, nobody in the cultivation world would dare slight him. As for their youngest junior sister, Cen Rou... She really was a good-for-nothing with no cultivation. In the original story, she was a foolish female supporting character whose job was to highlight the protagonist squad's strength and cheer them on. In reality, Cen Rou really did only watch and cheer. As for the fact that she'd transmigrated into a book, been bound to a step-counting System, and spent every day walking between sects to earn step-reward cards, accidentally raising her cultivation to the Deity Transformation stage along the way... none of that mattered. What mattered was that she loved watching the overpowered leads make a comeback and finally hold their heads high! To protect her senior brothers and sisters and ensure their paths to greatness stayed clear, Cen Rou secretly kept an eye on them all day. She maintained her foolish supporting-character persona to avoid ruining their triumphant comebacks, while quietly stepping in to clear away every obstacle in their way. Eldest senior sister, second senior brother, third senior brother, fourth senior sister, fifth senior brother, and Master: Whoever dares bully our junior sister Xiaorou will have to answer to me! Cen Rou: Another successful day as a bodyguard for the overpowered leads! Notes: 1. A silly, slice-of-life story. 2. It might be a pampered-by-everyone story, or it might not. 3. It might focus on the whole ensemble, or it might not. 4. The male lead has already appeared. He's Wuqing, not just a background character, though the romance takes up relatively little of the story. My upcoming story Feel free to visit my page and bookmark it if you're interested! I'm the Normal Person in a Mary Sue Story In a nutshell: I use silliness to turn abnormal people normal. Blurb: As times change, many old-fashioned Mary Sue stories now seem like absurd disasters. So when Lu Momo transmigrates into an old-fashioned story, she becomes its only normal person... One day, the male lead makes his entrance. The entire student body crowds both sides of the school gates, welcoming him and exclaiming how handsome he is, while watching the male and female leads meet for the first time. Only Lu Momo comes sprinting through: Aah! I'm going to be late for my required class! In the end, Lu Momo becomes the only student in the entire school to make it to class on time. She earns high praise from her counselor and professor, and the admiration of every student. What? Someone actually resisted the temptation of a handsome guy and juicy gossip! The next day, the male lead bullies the female lead, who silently puts up with it through her tears. The students gather to watch. Some laugh, some are scared, and some feel sorry for her. Lu Momo can't take it anymore, so she tells the counselor. When the counselor says,
