[Blurb]

The Demon Lord Tongwu hides beneath a black cloak every day. Rumor has it that everyone who has seen "his" true face has met their end.

In reality, Tongwu is a woman who loves good food and beautiful people. She kills only the wicked and devotes herself to maintaining world peace.

She heard that Shen Mu, the greatest cultivator in the world of cultivation, was an excellent cook. Tongwu only wanted to sneak in and mooch a meal. Instead, she unlocked an extraordinary talent for cultivation and was taken on as his personal disciple.

Tongwu: I, the Demon Lord, am cultivating now? But can I opt out of this constitution that's supposedly perfect for people to use in their cultivation?

*

Shen Mu was extremely strict with his disciples. After several of his apprentices were scared off, he took on a new one.

This disciple was something else. She was diligent, hardworking, and always striving to improve.

And besides that...

The first time her spiritual energy went berserk, she knocked him down.

The next time she saw him, she put an arm around his waist and saved him.

The next time she saw him, she asked him to become the Demon Lord's consort.

The time after that, they compared sword techniques. She said, "You were too slow with this move, so by the time you followed with the last one, your breathing was unsteady." She demonstrated the moves again, her swordplay more fluid than his.

Shen Mu: ?

Shen Mu: I may have taken on a fake disciple.

*

After Tongwu began cultivating both immortal and demonic arts, she realized there was more to this world than met the eye, and it was all connected to a man known by another name: "the Long Aotian male lead."

Reading notes:

1. Strong heroine and strong hero, a satisfying read. The heroine grows stronger as the story goes on. He's strong, but she's even stronger.

2. A heroine who loves pretending to be weak while hiding her strength x a seemingly frail beauty of a hero who's secretly a schemer. One-on-one romance, happy ending, both fall for each other. (Let's start by keeping misunderstandings and melodrama away.)

3. The heroine brings the swoon, the hero brings the beauty (he gets swoon-worthy sometimes too, depending on the author's writing).

Blurb for the lighthearted xianxia power fantasy Snatching the Long Aotian Hero's Script and Powering Up with Love:

Xie Qingsang transmigrated into a book.

In the future, the original character would become a cannon-fodder member of the Long Aotian hero's harem, making her debut for a dozen or so chapters before sacrificing herself to advance the plot and help him ascend.

Xie Qingsang: No way!

She had a mutated lightning spiritual root, with unrivaled attack power and the perfect aptitude for killing enemies and protecting herself. But her mutated lightning spiritual root came with one condition: she could only "generate power with love," cultivating through love.

Since the Long Aotian hero's love was divided among thousands upon thousands of women, the tiny bit she got wasn't even enough to whet her appetite. A perfectly good mutated lightning spiritual root had become a useless good-for-nothing's talent.

Xie Qingsang: It never said whose love I had to use to generate power, did it?

So before the Long Aotian hero became the Long Aotian hero and ruled the cultivation world, Xie Qingsang used her strength and personal charm to win over one beautiful, kindhearted young woman after another, successfully turning his harem into her own sisterhood.

Xie Qingsang: You love me, I love you, and the lovely ladies and I are sweet as can be.

Fueled by the love of her lovely ladies, Xie Qingsang cultivated as easily as breathing, her power rising by leaps and bounds until she became a renowned master.

Xie Qingsang: Our motto is to take down Long Aotian, take his path, and leave him with nowhere to go!

There was a cool, mature beauty in the sisterhood, with legs and presence both a mile long.

Xie Qingsang discovered that when she stayed by this young woman's side, her cultivation improved as if she were riding a rocket. So she kept finding excuses to hang around her.

Xie Qingsang: I want to cuddle up to this cool-faced, kindhearted beauty.

Then one day, Xie Qingsang: Damn! My sister turned into a man!

Blurb for the modern fantasy power fantasy Can a Movie Queen Be Reborn as a Has-Been and Still Make It Big?:

Mu Yanqing, a three-time award-winning movie queen, was known throughout the industry as a tireless worker.

She was either on set or on her way to one.

But one day, she accidentally tumbled down some stairs while filming. When she opened her eyes again, she had become Ye Yanqing, a has-been with barely any fame.

She relied on her mouth rather than acting skills, was surrounded by scandals, had a terrible reputation and no work. Her account held 300 yuan, and she owed tens of thousands. Her contract was full of traps.

Worse still, her agent had just signed her up for an acting competition show. The show's script had her "prove herself" by impressing the award-winning actor Qin Weiming, becoming his student, and then getting eliminated in the second round.

The production team had even thoughtfully prepared her elimination speech.

Mu Yanqing: Prove myself? That's right up my alley.

Everyone was waiting for her to embarrass herself as the show's cannon-fodder foil.

Who could have guessed that when the show aired, the entire internet would be dumbfounded? Ye Yanqing was killing it with her acting?!

Her improvised lines were clipped by netizens and spread everywhere as trending quotes.

Her popularity soared, and passersby switched from hating her to becoming fans.

Her agent was frantic. "Just act normally. Don't be this good. If you make it to the next round, we'll owe them tens of millions in breach-of-contract fees!"

Mu Yanqing: ??? I want to do a worse job too, but I genuinely don't know how! Why don't you rig the scores behind the scenes?

The audience voted enthusiastically: I voted, and my whole family voted too! Even a blind person can see how good her acting is. You can eliminate anyone, but not her!

Mu Yanqing: Stop voting, stop voting! A nobody like me doesn't have any money. I can't afford to pay them back!

*

One late night, she happened to see Qin Weiming playing an old video over and over.

It was an interview from her previous life:

"A man should be handsome, look good in a suit, be well-read, and know how to manage a household frugally. If I can't find someone like that, I'll just live alone."

He had looked up to her and followed her all along, but hadn't managed to hold on to her in time.

This time, he didn't want to miss her again.

Theme: Good and evil aren't absolute. Only those who must choose can weigh them.
