Ye Chengzhen transmigrates into the role of the doomed black-moonlight female side character in a male-oriented xianxia novel.
The character is beautiful but foolish, with a head full of romance. She has the script of a chosen one, yet somehow ends up hated by everyone and plunged into the demon realm.
Ye Chengzhen laughs. “Why bother with romance when building a career is so much better? Once I get my golden finger, the whole world will be in my hands.”
But the golden finger comes with an authentication system: only the male lead can touch it.
Ye Chengzhen fails to take it, so she finds another way: pretending to be a middleman and making a profit on the difference.
Once the job is done, she makes a quick getaway, eager to enjoy the good life as a young city lord. But then she learns that the Chen family has been wiped out, and only the male lead and his younger cousin have escaped with their lives. They're on their way.
Ye Chengzhen: “Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not following the plot. I'm here to build a career. Keep your distance and please show some respect.”

Synopsis:
As the most gifted sword cultivator of Jianlai Peak, Song Jiu reached in just twenty years a level others failed to attain even after three thousand.
On the day of her ascension, crowds gathered as far as the eye could see.
More people had come to witness it than there were thunderbolts in the sky.
Song Jiu raised her sword and cleaved the heavens. When the thunder faded, she found herself in another world, a lowly alchemy furnace in a medicine hall, with all her cultivation gone.
Once the medicine is ready, the furnace flames rage. Swallow the concoction, and you can form a golden core and attain eternal life.
An old man with a deeply furrowed face surveyed the furnaces and personally chose Song Jiu to be the young master's first alchemy furnace.
The crowd erupted, envy and jealousy raining down like snowflakes.
Clutching her rust-covered lifebound sword, Song Jiu looked up, but what she saw was the powerful preying on the weak and demons running rampant.
Here, female cultivators can only serve as alchemy furnaces, and insignificant people can only be sacrificial pawns.
Here, those in power oppress the weak at will, and the strong take everything.
People say: Being born poor and lowly is fate.
Song Jiu smiles as she grips her sword. “I was born defiant. I believe only in the sword in my hand, not in so-called fate.”
If the heavens are unjust, then why not shatter them?
Reader's guide
An obsessive, scheming male lead X a heroine devoted to cultivation.
A cultivation world unlike the usual: people often harm others, but rarely save them.
The heroine is a true sword cultivator, completely clueless about love, and stubborn as a block of wood from beginning to end.
Core message: Rely on yourself rather than others, and strive to be an independent, strong woman.
I skimmed through some parts and felt the female lead was very much a tool in the story. If the male lead weren't on Jinjiang Literature City, he probably would have already built a harem. It didn't feel like I was reading about the female lead's growth, but rather the male lead being "forced" to seduce and hug various female supporting characters while insisting they were just friends.
What exactly is the opportunity that triggers the romance between the male and female leads?
What is honey to one is poison to another.
Judging by this pace, it'll probably be around a thousand chapters?
Author, please keep up the good work! Don't stop updating!
I really liked this story; the genre was one of my favorites, and I was following it closely. But it seems the author isn't planning on writing any more. Fine, let's just leave it at that and part ways amicably. I don't want to cancel the paid subscription. One chapter every two months is really disgusting; it's a waste of such good writing. It seems the work doesn't equal the author's character.
Waaaaah, no kissing candy! [Covers face and peeks]
Ahhhhhh [Let me see] Let's get more kisses! 🎉
So many weeks without a single chapter?
They could even share a robe, so a lot of kissing wouldn't be too much, right? 🎉 [Covering face and peeking]
