I Carry My Sect to Victory Through Bluffing and Deception

Workplace veteran Ning Qian Ge dies suddenly and transmigrates into a cultivation world. This time around, she decides to lie flat and live a life of leisure.

But on her very first day joining a sect, she gets promoted to sect leader.

The sect has just been wiped out, leaving only an eight-year-old errand disciple and the remnant soul of a foul-mouthed patriarch.

Hah. Only an idiot would take charge of this broken-down sect. I’m out of here.

Before she can get off the mountain, the patriarch’s blade is already at her throat. “You’re leaving?”

Ning Qian Ge is terrified, but says, “Leaving? What? You mean my ambition? Of course, it’s to lead our sect to greatness!”

No disciples?

Faced with powerful cultivators, she flatters them. “It’s the honor of three lifetimes to become your disciple. You can rest assured that I’ll take good care of the sect.”

Faced with disciples from the modern world, she makes an empty promise. “You’ve been chosen by the Heavenly Dao to save the cultivation world!”

And as a result...

The patriarch complains the whole time, but still hands over everything he owns. The disciples work from dawn till dusk, pushing the cultivation world fifty years forward in just five.

The sect has no money?

She gets her disciples to put their initiative to good use. The third disciple studies agriculture? Go research hybrid spirit herbs. The second disciple studies computer science? Develop talismans that ordinary people can use. The fourth disciple studies medicine? Make some miracle pills.

And as a result...

The sect’s businesses spread across the continent, and the tiny sect becomes richer than a nation!

Too many enemies?

If she can’t win, she calls on the patriarch to handle it. If she gets into trouble, she gives her archenemy’s name. When she goes out, she smoothly changes between a whole collection of secret identities.

And as a result...

Everyone who knows her says that although the Xingyun Sect has fallen, its leader is a paragon of integrity and virtue, a model for the righteous path!

Later, at the Immortal Sects Tournament, the various sects see the supposedly extinct sect turning out one eccentric disciple after another. A healer performs an open surgery to reconnect a spirit vein. A musical cultivator plays “Jile Jingtu” on a two-string fiddle. A sword cultivator hefts a forty-meter-long sword and says, “I’ll let you run thirty meters first.”

And their sect leader? Oh, she’s stomping on the three great sects, punching the Demon Realm’s king, and becoming the leader of the righteous path.

Just as the sect is flourishing, internal conflict breaks out.

The sharp-tongued ancestor says, “I’ve been using your body for so long, so I should take responsibility. From now on, I’ll cherish you.”

Ning Qian Ge: “Huh? You want me to go practice?”

A disciple says, “That old man must be senile. Ignore him, Master. I’m having trouble controlling my sword. I need you to guide me in person.”

Ning Qian Ge: “If I remember correctly, you’re already at the Deity Transformation Realm.”

Wasn’t she supposed to just lead the sect to success? Nobody said there’d be a love-triangle showdown too! With the old above and the young below, when can she finally, truly retire?

1. The story of a lazy, greedy, sly transmigrator leading a small sect to greatness.

2. A light ensemble cast, no System, just a lot of smooth-talking.

3. Sect-building in the first half, romantic entanglements in the second. The male lead has not been decided yet.

[Next Book] “Becoming a Legend in the Apocalypse Through Chinese and Foreign Literature”

Su Liuguang is a senior majoring in Chinese language and literature who accidentally transmigrates into an apocalyptic novel she just finished reading.

Monsters roam everywhere, resources are scarce, and the only way to survive in this world is to rely on your own ability.

Her ability is to summon characters from literary works.

Standing beside Lin Daiyu, Hua Xiaoshuan, Margaret, and other sickly characters who couldn’t hurt a fly, she suddenly feels pretty burly.

Su Liuguang: ...Are you kidding me? There’s blood and gore everywhere outside, and you give me a bunch of weak old people and invalids?

Ability: As she earns other people’s affection points, her ability level rises, unlocking the ability to summon even more powerful characters.

To survive, Su Liuguang has no choice but to face reality. On the way, she takes a dying man back and carefully raises him (and bullies him).

Affection points +10,000.

Su Liuguang: ???

People at the base have noticed that some oddballs have shown up lately.

At the monster-materials purchasing station, a handsome man in ancient clothing with sharp brows and bright eyes carries a man-eating tiger on his shoulder and says his name is Wu Song.

A monkey with a furry face and a thunder-god-like mouth flies out beyond the base on clouds. He looks like Sun Wukong.

Amid rolling thunder, a man driving a carriage descends with the lightning into an area overrun with monsters. Could that be Zeus?

But that’s not even the strangest thing. The strangest is some bookworm who reads novels while fighting monsters!

A few months later...

The monsters nearby have been wiped out, the Ezhou Base has surrendered, the top assassin in the south is at their service, a mercenary group from Shu has joined them, and powerful ability users have flocked to their base, all bowing at the feet of...the bookworm in the base?

Ji Kongming, the base leader famous for his ruthlessness and intolerance of the slightest flaw, is going to stand for this?

Then they look again. The man kneeling at the very front, blushing bright red, appears to be their leader.

Only later do people at the base understand. What do you mean, bookworm? She’s the Lord of the Gods, the ender of the old era, and the creator of a new age.

Little scene

Su Liuguang: Where did my old-man pajamas go?

Tess: The ones the leader blushingly washed this morning?

Emma: Oh-ho-ho, maybe they “got dirty.”

Anna: Oh my, young people have such wild tastes.

That night, Su Liuguang storms into Ji Kongming’s room to confront him. He says nothing, just keeps working up a sweat.

After being thoroughly ravaged, Su Liuguang deeply regrets being tricked into the wolf’s den by his innocent act.

Ji Kongming pulls a ragged piece of cloth from Su Liuguang’s tightly clenched hand and tosses it in front of her. “It’s been used for so long that it’s worn out. You don’t need it anymore. Here.”

1. A cool, bookish woman × a pure-hearted, easily bullied tragic villain.

2. A delightfully over-the-top power fantasy, set in a fictional world. The heroine is adored by all, the leads are each other’s only ones, and it has a happy ending.
