Cloning Is Forbidden in the Cultivation World

[Spoiled young master x laid-back powerhouse]

[He said he’d expose my true colors sooner or later. Me: Oh.]

Ru Sheng was a dazzlingly successful woman whom everyone hated. She had no friends or lovers, and reached the top with nothing but her sword and her own strength, only to die an untimely death.

Three years after her death, she was reborn in the body of a pitiful girl who looked exactly like her.

Her old sect had divided up all her savings and slandered her until not a good word remained. After thinking it over, Ru Sheng turned around and joined the sect across the way, taking the name “Ning Xu.”

On the pitiful girl’s first day at her new sect, her new master patted her on the head and issued a firm order: “Spoil her. Spoil her as much as you can!”

When her junior sister needed to draw water, her senior brother swung his sword and made a river in front of her door.

When she wanted to hunt for treasure, her second senior sister opened her own Qiankun bag.

When she wanted to cultivate, her third senior brother’s spiritual power pushed her straight through a breakthrough.

Ru Sheng, once a workaholic cultivator and now forced to become a slacker: …Fine, then I’ll lie flat.

Before she could lie down, a sharp pain pricked her back.

Ru Sheng pulled a hidden thorn from her clothes and fell into thought.

Looks like there’s a traitor.

Lian Yi had been utterly disdainful of the new good-for-nothing junior sister at first.

This shameless imitation was just an inferior copy! From her clothes and food to her daily routine and cultivation, Ning Xu was clearly copying his goddess in every way!

Everything about Ru Sheng had been distorted and erased by her sect. No one believed Lian Yi’s accusations, so he could only sabotage Ning Xu in secret.

He planted hidden thorns, stole her opportunities, and threw difficult problems at her… Sitting on Ning Xu’s roof with a foxtail grass stem in his mouth, Lian Yi was unbearably smug.

Just admit defeat and back off already. Ru Sheng is irreplaceable.

Later, when Ning Xu fell into the Ten Thousand Demon Cavern, he was the first to charge into the fray. Covered in blood, he held his “substitute junior sister” tight in his arms.

“Sheng Sheng,” Lian Yi said, his eyes red and his voice choked with emotion. “Don’t die.”

Ning Xu wiped the blood from her face and pushed him away without expression. “You’ve got the wrong person.”

[Bonus Scene]

Someone teased Lian Yi, saying he was Ning Xu’s dog.

He smiled faintly without denying it, then turned around and killed the person with a single sword stroke.

That night, the all-powerful Prince Lian leaned over the young woman with his hands behind his back, enunciating clearly in her ear: “Woof.”

Ning Xu: ?

#From solitary workaholic to everyone’s darling

#Reborn as your own substitute

#I’m not really bad at this, but you’re a real dog

Reading Guide:

1. One-on-one romance, both are each other’s first and only, happy ending. Face-slapping, punishing scumbags, and returning to the top. The heroine goes from universally hated to universally adored, and everyone from her old sect gets their comeuppance.

2. Going by soul age, it’s an older-woman-younger-man romance. The heroine handles physical damage; the hero provides psychological attacks and backup.

3. The hero is a real little shit: sharp-tongued, obnoxious, but sincere at heart. He was the heroine’s fanboy in her previous life and her nemesis after she was reborn. Get ready for him to fall hard.
