* Strong female lead, satisfying power fantasy
* The female lead is her own cheat
* All about her career, no romance
Bai Yujing, the foremost goddess of the Divine Realm, bears the Dao title Yuehua. With skin like ice and bones like jade, she is peerless in beauty.
Beyond her stunning looks, she was born with divine bones and a sword embryo. From the moment she was born, she stood at the finish line that countless geniuses could only dream of reaching.
The darling of the heavens, showered with boundless love and blessed with resources beyond imagination, she was never spoiled. She devoted herself wholeheartedly to cultivating the Heartless Dao.
With her peerless beauty and genius for the sword, who in the Divine Realm would dare not address her respectfully as the Goddess Yuehua?
But her tranquil years of cultivation were disrupted by a disciple who had ascended from a sect in the lower realm.
Whenever she emerged from seclusion, she would somehow find herself caught up in inexplicable predicaments with that disciple. And whenever a predicament seemed impossible to resolve, that disciple would always find a way to overcome it.
At first, she merely thought that the disciple was indeed extraordinary, and for a time she felt admiration for him. But beyond that, she had no other thoughts.
Moreover, to avoid being drawn into those strange entanglements of fate again, Bai Yujing chose to enter seclusion.
"Master, I've come to say goodbye. I don't want to call you Master anymore. I want to call you by your name, A Jing!"
"A Jing, though you cultivate the Heartless Dao, you haven't truly let go of all worldly attachments. I know you have feelings for me. It's just that the bond between master and disciple keeps you from daring to love me!"
"A Jing, wait for me. I'll leave the sect and establish my own. Then you won't be bound by the master-disciple relationship anymore. The day I found my sect, I'll come in person to take you as my bride!"
These utterly outrageous words reached Bai Yujing's ears one after another. First she was surprised, but after that, she felt only a little tired.
Why were people so obsessed with love and romance? Couldn't they just focus on cultivating immortality?
Bai Yujing paid no mind to the matter. In the Divine Realm, there were far too many people who wanted her as their Dao partner, and some were even stranger than him. This incident could not stir even the slightest ripple in her heart.
What she did not know was that he did not belong to this world. He was a transmigrate, a transmigrator with a System, following a level-up-and-defeat-monsters harem storyline. There were his cousin, senior sister, enchantress, demoness...
In short, any beautiful woman would end up in bed with him and fall madly in love with him. But only women who possessed both beauty and a powerful background could join his harem and receive an official status.
As a goddess, Bai Yujing was also one of the members of his harem, and the final target he had to conquer.
But for some reason, no matter how many accidents he set up to plunge her into all sorts of scenarios designed to kindle affection, Bai Yujing never developed the slightest feelings for him.
Even the System within him could not explain this.
"Host, if you fail to win her over, this realm's mission will be deemed a failure, and you will face severe punishment."
The punishment would not be fatal, but he was unwilling to accept his own failure. Besides, how could there possibly be a woman who did not love him?
So he spent all his points to buy a tribulation-of-love editor from the System shop. As long as he could pull Bai Yujing into it, he would be able to arrange her fate however he pleased in the world of the tribulation.
He would make Bai Yujing fall from her divine pedestal in the tribulation world and endure endless torment, life after life.
And he would become her savior, appearing before her when she was at her most desperate and helpless, and making her fall hopelessly in love with him.
If all went as planned, even after Bai Yujing returned from successfully completing the tribulation, she would remain deeply in love with him.
And so the story began...
A friendly note: The female lead will not be abused. She is doted on by everyone, a wealthy and beautiful heiress who lives in comfort and is a versatile all-rounder. She isn't melodramatic or saintly, and is devoted to cultivation, firmly refusing to fall in love. Please don't be offended if this isn't to your taste!
The author has a bit of a brain, but not much. I'll try to keep things logical. If I really can't, I'll make up an explanation on the spot.
The male villain in this book represents only himself, not all men. There are still decent men in the world, just not many.
The female villain in this book also represents only herself. She's simply the familiar wicked-woman template from web novels. This isn't a woman-hating story, and I'll explain why she's a bad person and so on. Please don't overthink it.
A heartfelt thank you to every reader who clicked in to read. Thank you, everyone. (Bows 180 degrees.)
