Chen Yao is a game streamer. After dying suddenly by accident, she gets bound to a game System. She closes and opens her eyes, only to find herself inside a melodramatic cultivation game, reborn as a nameless little cannon-fodder character. Her master is a sword cultivator famous for being poor, and the whole sect is so broke they can barely afford to eat.
To stay alive, Chen Yao tags along with her senior brothers to freeload meals at the various sects. Instead, she discovers shocking scandals everywhere.
What she doesn't know is that everyone in the cultivation world can read minds.
At the betrothal ceremony between the daughter of the Tai Xu Sect's leader and the young master of the Feng Qing Sect, the sects mingle and drink together. Only Chen Yao is stunned:
[Holy crap, isn't that the scumbag who killed his wife to prove his Dao?]
[He's only getting engaged to see if his white moonlight gets jealous. On the day of the bond ceremony, he publicly announces he's breaking off the engagement, then forces his former Dao companion to give up her heart's blood for his white moonlight. What kind of scum is this?]
[Why is it so noisy up there? What's happening?]
Everyone: The Tai Xu Sect's leader just struck that scumbag with lightning. Surprised? Didn't see that coming?
At the bond ceremony between the daughter of an elder of the Tian Dan Sect and his disciple, Chen Yao shakes her head as she eats:
[Childhood sweethearts, close since they were kids, raised by their master for eighteen years, and all of that means less than a green tea's "I just feel sorry for him." Disgusting.]
[He can't even tell right from wrong. He hears a few words of provocation and wants to wipe out his whole sect? What's the point of a fool like that?]
[Hey, where's that pretty sister from earlier?]
Everyone: She went to kill her husband. You keep eating.
At the cultivation world's grand tournament, Chen Yao knows she isn't strong enough, so she pulls out a handful of melon seeds and decides to sit out until it's over.
The stern-faced leader of the Tai Xu Sect walks by and tosses her a secret sect manual. "My storage ring is full. Keep it for wrapping snacks."
An elder of the Tian Dan Sect walks by and casually hands her two bottles of top-grade pills. "I made too many by accident. Eat them like candy."
Chen Yao gazes at the growing pile of snacks in front of her in amazement:
[Who says the cultivation world is all about the strong bullying the weak? These are all good people who help the needy!]
[Also, everyone's here. Why hasn't it started yet?]
Everyone in the cultivation world: "..."
We're waiting for you to finish cutting up the melon first!
