Mr. He Wants Me to Stay Single

Daoist Yao had been single for five hundred years. He'd heard that accomplished men like him were supposed to have a plum tree for a wife and a crane for a son.

So he planted a plum tree and made an online wish to find a partner.

On the first day after he planted it, his crane pecked the dirt away from its roots.

On the second day, the crane scared the female cultivator who came to water it so badly that she wouldn't leave her room.

On the third day after he planted the plum tree, a crane flew onto his bed.

The white crane flapped its wings and turned into a young woman. "I heard you want to get married, Daoist."

"The Background Extra Senior Sister Is Done with This"

Xu Qingfeng lived for nearly a hundred years before discovering that she was a background extra in a cultivation novel.

In the story, she didn't even deserve a name. She was always just "Senior Sister."

The male lead went around face-slapping everyone, while she rushed around cleaning up his messes. The male lead made enemies everywhere, while she rushed around cleaning up his messes. Even when he caused a calamity of epic proportions, she was the one left to clean up after him.

In the end, the male lead ascended to immortality and achieved perfect merit, without remembering any of Senior Sister's efforts. He even trampled on her, saying she was weak and had brought shame to their sect.

Who could put up with that? Not her!

After learning what the future held, Xu Qingfeng went on strike. Whoever wanted to be Senior Sister could do it! She was done!

Why should she be a background extra, silently giving everything? Did she look like a sucker to them?

Before long, everyone in the Qinhua Sword Sect realized their Senior Sister had changed. Carrying a long sword and a ledger, she went around collecting debts, and no one could bully her anymore.

Everyone in the Qinhua Sword Sect lived in fear, dreading the day the Senior Sister with the ledger would show up at their door.

Xu Qingfeng simply smiled and declared, "Not a single debtor is getting away!"

As her mood improved, Xu Qingfeng's cultivation rose steadily. She also gained a group of friends who genuinely cared about her, and her days grew happier by the day.

Without Xu Qingfeng to clean up his messes, the male lead soon had his tendons cut after making too many enemies. Xu Qingfeng, meanwhile, enjoyed smooth sailing and quickly awaited her ascension.

At Xu Qingfeng's ascension ceremony, the male lead sobbed and accused her of ruining his life. How dare she stop putting all the good things in front of him like she used to! How dare she stop being his background extra!

Not one of the spectators paid him any attention. They only thought he was completely deranged. Since Xu Qingfeng was about to ascend, they assumed she wouldn't bother with a male lead who was already crippled.

But Senior Sister had a long memory and held a grudge. Her ledger still listed two thousand five hundred debts this man owed her. Now that he'd come right to her, how could she let him off so easily?

She put her ascension on hold to collect a debt first.

The Senior Sister swooped down and began reading from her ledger as she collected. With every item she read out, she slapped the male lead across the face. Soon, the slaps ran together in a delightful rhythm.

Amid the slapping, the male lead stared in shock as golden merit shone down on the Senior Sister.

She kept slapping him, her lips parting to speak in a clear, crisp voice.

"I forgot to tell you. I cultivate the Dao through face-slapping."

Theme: Even when life is difficult, stay positive and make the most of every day.
