Xie Jianwei was an orphan whose life had been full of hardship, until three voices claiming to be Systems tried to tempt her:
"Wow! A once-in-a-thousand-years beauty destined to be a heartbreaker! Girl, want to fight for power in the inner household? I'll make you the champion!"
"Oh? A perfect foundation for a female protagonist! Girl, come here!"
"Tsk, a kind face but a wicked heart. You're a natural for the path of cultivation, but..."
Xie Jianwei: You three... get along nicely. (I knew I wasn't ordinary.)
After tricking all three Systems into joining her, Xie Jianwei packed up and went in search of immortals.
Forget becoming the champion of household battles or scheming her way to the throne... She wanted to cultivate and become an immortal!
On the day she found the immortal sect and entered its gates, all three Systems issued missions at once:
[White Lotus System No. 1]: "Ding! Host, switch back to your sweet, delicate beauty persona and use your tenderness to win over that cool, black-clad hero up ahead!"
[Female Protagonist System No. 2]: "Beep! The handsome, soft, helpless-looking guy ahead is the crown prince of the demon clan! Host, give him your wicked, unrestrained stare and intimidate him! Make him fall for you and become your lackey!"
[Wicked Woman System No. 3]: "Yes, right now! Pick up a rock and hit that ugly old man. Tell that bunch of losers: I'm your great-grandmother!"
Xie Jianwei, who had planned to cultivate a calm, unbothered persona: ...
Thank you for curing my poker face [clutches wall in agony.jpg]
Her acting was so convincing, and her personas so different, that on the day the Piaomiao Sect opened its doors to accept disciples, no one realized...
The little white lotus clinging to the sword cultivator prodigy's coattails
The mysterious big shot who rescued the demon prince and became the object of his affections
And the lunatic who was the first to charge out of the examination hall and beat up the examiner
were all the same person!!!
And so, on the day Xie Jianwei became a disciple of the Piaomiao Sect, she claimed three spots on the list of legendary figures.
[The lotus beauty who is sweet to your face and vicious behind your back, yet impossible to resist]
[The mysterious sword cultivator big shot who loves showing off]
[The only head disciple in the Piaomiao Sect's history whom no master dared to take]
Xie Jianwei: ?

As the sect's grand ancestor, Qi Yu developed a heart demon because cultivation was too boring. The heart demon kept chattering and disrupting his cultivation, so he drove it out.
It wasn't until a landslide split the mountain where Qi Yu was meditating in seclusion that he learned the truth.
His heart demon had somehow conned a girl into coming along, and she was wreaking equal havoc on everyone in the sect.
This time, she'd even set her sights on him...
So the grand ancestor, whose own backyard was on fire, emerged from seclusion. The first thing he did was take that universally disliked little menace as his disciple.
The heart demon was acting like a menace and leading the girl astray. As its master, he obviously had a duty to teach her properly.
Xie Jianwei: Universally disliked?
You don't know, do you? I have two other accounts that are universally adored.
No. 3 Wicked Woman (Heart Demon) System: You old fossil, quit pretending. I'm your dark side...
Reading Guide:
The heart demon and the grand ancestor are the same person.
The other two Systems are at the bottom of the food chain.
