I'm the Only Different One in the Entire Sect

My new historical romance, "After Inheriting My Late Husband's Estate," is now being updated. Please add it to your favorites! Blurb: Before marrying, Ning Xichun was just an ordinary village girl. The wealthy Zhou family brought her into their household because a fortune-teller had said she was destined for wealth. On the second day after their wedding, news arrived that her husband had died far away beyond the pass. Ning Xichun went from newlywed to widow, inheriting the Zhou family's countless silver coins, shops, fields, and farmland, and becoming the richest person in Spring City. Before she can adjust to her new status, the household stewards, outside managers, and family matrons all come to her for instructions. She has to review the shop accounts and approve purchases... She has to decide which family's designs the maids and servants will wear for their winter clothes... And when several young masters cling to her legs, bawling as they beg to find their older brother... Xichun can't help crying with them. Being the lady of a wealthy household is just too hard. [No amount of money can make her happy] * Zhou Bing thought that when he returned home, he would find his wife remarried with a huge sum of money, his trusted aide at a loss with his young brothers, and the household's shops and fields in chaos without his guidance... He was so sure of it that he held firmly to this belief all the way home. But when he returned, none of the scenes he'd imagined came to pass. The house was clean and orderly, the servants each knew their duties, his younger brothers had made great progress in their studies, and all the sharp business sense that had once been his was now credited to Madam Zhou. That graceful, dignified, lovely woman sat in the main hall, surrounded by the young masters. He seemed... entirely superfluous. The head of the household? No longer needed. [Novel blurb] Xianchun is a cultivator with five spiritual roots, so she is destined never to become a disciple of a famous sect or master. But she never imagined that a prestigious cultivation sect could be this poor. Even the plaque over the main gate is wobbling, ready to fall at any moment. The senior brothers and sisters of Minghua Sect are just as hopeless. None of them strive to improve or study diligently. They only think of crooked shortcuts, relying on pills to build up their cultivation. On Xianchun's very first day at the sect, her senior brother swindles her out of the only low-grade spirit stone she has just been given. He only wants to go home in style, with the grandeur of a cultivator. Du Hanning has a top-grade mutated single spiritual root. With one swing of her sword, she can split half a mountain. She is the most renowned prodigy in the cultivation world. Yet in her previous life, Du Hanning was rejected by her fiance for being too stiff and fell for Mu Xinyue, who was delicate and easy to bully. The two of them kept telling her how sorry they were as they joined forces, using Mu Xinyue's good luck to bring about her death. She was reborn too late. Those two despicable people have already made their move against her. Du Hanning has only one wish: to find, before the person who once gave her a mantou to save her life is caught up in this senseless disaster and ultimately dies, and to reject him. She doesn't need that mantou. Purchase ratio: 70%. In a word: My wife is heaven's favored daughter. I'm not. A cultivation novel with a male lead. Reader's note: Enjoy the story. This novel is not intended to be scrutinized for historical or cultivation accuracy. Message: Even without natural talent, you can forge another path and reach the Great Dao.
