Your Mission Is to Defeat the Male Lead

After transmigrating into a book, Xie Lin discovers that the world she's in was derived from a male-lead cultivation novel. And her role... is the male lead's original wife, who dies young.

Not long after arriving, she gets a confession from the male lead: "My feelings for you are genuine. I'll never change."

Xie Lin doesn't want to die young, so she turns him down without hesitation. "Sorry, I don't have time."

After shaking off the male lead, she's saddled with a rogue System...

System: Your mission is to defeat the male lead and turn your life around!

Xie Lin: (gritting her teeth) The male lead, Long Aotian, becomes one of the most powerful people on the continent. How am I supposed to defeat him? Can I kill him while he's still weak?

System: (sternly) Life is precious, and the male lead has rights. Follow your missions and don't take matters into your own hands!

System: Increase your constitution, cultivation, and spells.

Xie Lin: Deal!

The body she transmigrated into is frail and sickly. To improve her constitution, Xie Lin gives it everything she's got. Defeating the male lead is all she has to do. She can definitely do it!

Except...

Xie Lin: (genuinely confused) Why do all my missions to defeat the male lead involve stealing his women? And why did you give me a divine artifact called 'Male Disguise'? You want me to dress as a man to steal his women? How bizarre!

System: This person is the male lead's closest friend and has helped him immensely. To defeat the male lead, you need to win him over.

Xie Lin: What? I have to steal not only the male lead's women, but his men too?!

Later...

The male lead's women all became her close friends, and the male lead's men took her side too. And she seemed to have...

"Who says female mages are inferior to male mages? Go ahead and compare yourself to Xie Lin!"

"Xie Lin is my idol. She's the youngest and most powerful female mage on the continent!"

"You there, drop the word 'female.' She's the most powerful mage, period!"

1. The female lead's cultivation and growth story. She's weak at first and gradually grows stronger. By the later stages, she's extremely powerful.

2. A light cultivation fantasy, with no gods, immortals, demons, or monsters. Just a cultivation story.

2. Happy ending. The original male lead is Yang Hui. The romantic lead is the male lead's fake-brother.

Theme: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
