When Tu Ranan wakes up, she discovers she's become the identically named cannon-fodder villain in a cultivation novel, and has a [Pain-Free Cultivation System] bound to her.
System: [Friendly reminder: Make yourself and those around you righteous, and you can ascend without pain. Become a villain, and you'll be struck by lightning.]
Tu Ranan, whose entire sect is made up of villains: "..."
Do you even know what pain-free cultivation means?
Her master is a human-demon hybrid who is determined to become a Demon Lord and destroy the world.
Her senior sister is a remnant of the dragon clan, always plotting to revive it.
Her second senior brother is the young master of the ghost clan, who wants to turn people into ghost puppets every day.
Her junior sister is a princess of the demon clan who dreams of having fluffy creatures rule the cultivation world.
And she is the eldest junior sister of the sect, as well as a useless second daughter cast aside without mercy by a major sect. In the original story, Tu Ranan made one spectacularly foolish mistake: she kidnapped the future Demon Lord and made him her medicine boy.
Because he possessed a divine nature, the major sects betrayed and coveted him at every turn. After the original Tu Ranan captured him, he was tortured relentlessly. Later, he turned dark, broke free of his cocoon, cultivated the ruthless path, shattered the void, and gained the power to turn the clouds with one hand and the rain with the other!
The first thing the Demon Lord did after achieving the Great Way was level the mountain where Tu Ranan's sect stood, seize Tu Ranan, and flay her alive, turning her into a human-skin lantern.
Looking at the emaciated young version of the future Demon Lord, his eyes wild and hostile, Tu Ranan felt a wave of sorrow.
She carefully freed the boy and even dusted him off. "I can see you're gifted. Become my disciple, and I'll dote on you alone! But there's one condition: let's be good people for once."
She was determined to drown the Demon Lord in a barrage of sweet affection.
Watching the Demon Lord grow more and more obedient and her sect become more and more righteous, Tu Ranan was delighted.
#Let the light of righteousness shine across the land#
#The road to ascension is right before us#
Until years later, Tu Ranan saw her sect members standing respectfully before the Demon Lord, shouting, "Your Excellency!"
The autumn wind howled. Cold filled the man's long, narrow eyes, and his entire body radiated a murderous aura.
When he saw Tu Ranan, he pulled her forcefully into his arms. "Master, you said you'd dote on me alone. Then keep your eyes on me."
After the black-hearted Demon Lord saw Tu Ranan shield him from lightning with her body and risk her life for him, he declared: Suddenly, I don't want to destroy the world anymore. I want to seduce my master.
Tu Ranan replied: It was all a misunderstanding! I didn't save you, really! That lightning bolt was meant to strike me!
The cultivators declared: We thank Tu Ranan for all she's done for the cultivation world! Sacrificing herself to feed the demon, she truly is the light of righteousness!
