Ji Wenyu was thirteen and had only just reached Foundation Establishment when she inherited an empty sect with nothing in it from her dead dad, a demonic cultivator.
The next day, as she was sweeping the fallen leaves from the sect gate and getting by on her own, five little kids showed up, claiming they wanted to become her disciples.
Penniless Ji Wenyu: What kind of refugees are these, teaming up to scam me?
A hundred years later, the Cangxue Sect had become the greatest power in the demon realm. Its five disciples were all cold-blooded demon kings who struck terror into people's hearts, while their sect leader was so mysterious that people trembled at the mere mention of her.
But no one knew that the revered sect leader of the Cangxue Sect was just a good-for-nothing who'd been raised in the lap of luxury.
Every day, her disciples lectured her over and over:
Stay home and be a couch potato. Don't go running off, and especially don't get involved with the righteous sects. The better-looking they are, the bigger the liars they are!
As the Cangxue Sect's influence grew, and more and more people called for her to become the Demon Venerable, good-for-nothing Ji Wenyu panicked. I absolutely do not want to become the Demon Venerable! Aaaaaah!
Believing that the most dangerous place was the safest, Ji Wenyu somehow ended up infiltrating the greatest righteous sect. She even inexplicably became the personal disciple of Xue Huaiqing, the Sword Immortal and foremost figure among the righteous.
The first time Ji Wenyu saw Xue Huaiqing, she thought: Ah, so this must be the handsome liar those five warned me about. I'd better stay far away from him...
In her previous life, Ji Wenyu's five disciples watched their master, a frail young woman, struggle to keep the sect going and raise all five of them, only to die by the sword of Xue Huaiqing, the Sword Immortal she'd been in love with for half her life.
Reborn, the five of them swore to spoil their master rotten, give her a life of wealth and comfort, and make sure she never had anything to do with that scumbag again.
But the moment they let their guard down, their little master went undercover at the scumbag's sect!
The five were furious and immediately sent someone to investigate:
"Has the Sword Immortal bullied our sect leader?"
"Not exactly, but the sect leader has already made the Sword Immortal cough up blood..."
"???"
The scumbag gets his comeuppance
The male lead is replaced
Yes, he's been replaced, because someone made the kind of mistake a disciple in a Jinjiang novel is bound to make...
