I Rule the Three Realms by Scavenging

[Looking for Favorites] Please bookmark my upcoming novel, The Villain Clears Their Name Through Relentless Hard Work. It really means a lot to this bald author! The blurb is at the end. Mwah~

Ying Qiong inherited her master's legacy and now scavenges trash in the Celestial Court.

One day, she found a half-plucked chicken. Just as she was about to roast it, someone told her it was actually a rare divine phoenix.

Everyone thought Ying Qiong had hit the jackpot and looked at her with envy.

Only Ying Qiong herself was unhappy.

Not only had she lost a roast chicken, she now had to spend money feeding that bald phoenix!

"They say phoenixes eat only bamboo seeds and drink only sweet spring water. You're way too expensive. Go find another owner!" Ying Qiong said, tossing the phoenix back into the rubbish heap.

The phoenix flew into a rage and set fire to every trash can under heaven.

As its temporary owner, Ying Qiong was forced to tame it.

From then on, the precious divine phoenix wandered through all kinds of garbage heaps, covered in grime and no longer looking majestic.

Later, Ying Qiong spotted a child in a rubbish heap.

Thinking she could raise him to be her successor, she took him home.

But the child wouldn't go scavenging and had endless demands. He was even harder to raise than the phoenix.

Ying Qiong couldn't take it anymore, so she waited until he was asleep and threw him back into the rubbish heap.

A few days later, Chen Hui, the renowned God of War of the Three Realms, showed up at Ying Qiong's shabby little home.

"Throw me in the garbage again and I'll kill you."

After a string of incidents involving a ten-thousand-year-old cultivator, a phoenix, and a God of War, everyone in the Three Realms treated the legendary scavenger with the utmost respect.

Ying Qiong had this to say: "There's no need, really. I'm just an ordinary little genius at picking through trash!"

The trash she'd picked up: "Who are you calling trash?"

Blurb for my upcoming novel, The Villain Clears Their Name Through Relentless Hard Work. Please bookmark it. Mwah~

In her previous life, Chu Sui was assigned a villain's role by the Heavenly Dao.

She rose above the script and overperformed, nearly destroying the cultivation world and becoming a great villain feared by all.

Five hundred years after her death, the Heavenly Dao summoned her back.

It told her that she hadn't been a good enough villain in her last life.

Chu Sui was baffled. "I got up earlier than chickens and went to bed later than dogs. I worked all 365 days of the year, either doing evil or on my way to do evil. Kids passing by were so scared when they heard my name that they'd run home to their mothers. And that still wasn't good enough?"

The Heavenly Dao spread its hands helplessly. "You were too competitive. You worked so hard that the righteous sects felt inferior to you. Instead, they came to admire and look up to you."

It pointed to a temple bustling with worshippers. "Look. The people praying to you never stop coming. Even passing children come in to pay their respects."

#The Righteous Sects Have Such A Bizarre Way Of Thinking#

#This Makes It Really Hard To Do My Villain Job#

Theme: No occupation is beneath anyone. Even picking through trash can lead to great achievements.
