The Inherited Immortal Venerable

In many romance novels, the devoted male second lead has a miserable time: he falls deeply in love, only to be treated like dirt. Immortal Venerable Chonghua is a classic example. In *The Record of Cultivating Immortality: Fuyao*, he expends all his cultivation for the heroine Bai Yaohua, only to be framed by the domineering male lead and turned into a cultivation furnace. He is later humiliated to death in the Ten Thousand Demons' Cave. That was the original outline. The author was flamed into abandoning the story. In the derivative world, Immortal Venerable Chonghua crawled back from the Ten Thousand Demons' Cave, fell into demonic cultivation, killed the male lead, imprisoned the heroine, and single-handedly destroyed both chosen ones. With its pillars gone, the small world was on the verge of annihilation, so the Transmigration Bureau had no choice but to send an employee to repair it. When Bai Yaoguang transmigrated into the world, Immortal Venerable Chonghua had already become the heroine's cultivation furnace. The heroine entered a secret realm and faked her death, so the furnace was reassigned. A Heavenly Yin body was coveted by all. The male lead was watching eagerly, about to get what he wanted, when the overlooked second daughter of the Bai family stepped forward. With a single stroke of her sword, she cut the rope around Chonghua's waist. Raising a face remarkably similar to Bai Yaohua's, she said coolly, "Chonghua isn't a resource of the sect. Since my elder sister has passed away, I should be able to inherit her cultivation furnace, right?" A straightforward, powerful heroine x a male lead who keeps toeing the line of what's acceptable Theme: No one who works hard to live deserves to be trampled underfoot with contempt.
