The Relentless Top Scholar Is the Real Heiress

After Zheng Juan became the undisputed champion of a parallel world obsessed with competition, she was sent back to her original world as the Zheng family's biological daughter, who had been lost long ago. The lingering consciousness in her body told her that this world was "dangerous." As soon as she returned to the Zheng family, everyone criticized her for being uneducated and incapable, and said she didn't deserve to be the family's true heiress. Zheng Juan: ...Uh-oh. Have I ended up in an even more competitive world? Faced with the fake heiress's mockery, her classmates' contempt, and her family's ridicule, Zheng Juan had no choice but to work even harder than before. When everyone else turned in their vacation assignments at the start of the school year, she submitted a paper she'd already sent to a leading academic journal. When everyone else performed popular songs and dances at the school party, she performed an original composition that attracted countless talent scouts. When everyone else aimed for a top place at the sports meet, she accidentally made it into a world-class competition. When the college entrance exams arrived, everyone else was waiting to take the exams, get recommendations, or study abroad. Only Zheng Juan had the world's top universities competing to send her offers! Everyone wanted to recruit this once-in-a-generation genius, but Zheng Juan politely turned them all down. "My level isn't good enough. I still need to focus on my studies." Late at night, Zheng Juan looked at the pile of technology she had finally developed and accumulated, and managed to relax a little. If someone even more impressive appeared, she'd still have a chance to outdo them, right? This world was truly dangerous. Every time she thought she could easily crush the competition, someone told her there were even stronger people out there! The others, who were only talking tough and never expected her to take them seriously: ... The day they saw groundbreaking innovations emerge one after another, they cursed under their breath: She still isn't done? Will this ever end? Can't she leave everyone else a way to survive? *The male lead appears after Chapter 76, and the romance takes up a large portion of the final few chapters. If you only want to read about her career, you can treat Chapters 74 and 75 as the ending. ---Pre-order: After Becoming a Spirit Treasure, I Turned Myself In--- After Ran Xia dies, she becomes a spirit treasure in a modern novel about spiritual qi revival. She is the treasure itself, and within it resides the soul of a demon who lived before spiritual qi vanished. Once spiritual qi revives and the demon awakens, her consciousness will be gone. Ran Xia's treasure body trembled: Help! When archaeologists arrived to examine her, she decisively emitted a ray of light and turned herself in. Rongyu, a supreme spirit treasure from the ancient cultivation world, can nurture souls, burn away impurities, and serve as both weapon and shield. Everyone longs to possess it. No one knew that before the spiritual qi vanished from the world, it had been captured by a demon, who sealed his soul inside it, waiting for spiritual qi to revive tens of millions of years later so he could return to the human world and create a new hell. The demon was well prepared, too. He had gathered countless precious books and magical treasures from the time before spiritual qi vanished and hidden them all away. He had countless spirit stones and spirit ore, along with maps of every mineral deposit. Ran Xia: I have all the information. Just save my life! The new museum employee: Don't worry. We understand how much you've contributed, and we'll do everything we can to help with your difficulties and improve your quality of life! Ran Xia became a precious national treasure with a permanent position. People cared for her attentively and provided all kinds of electronic devices to improve her life. When she wanted to go out, she could tour the country, with museums everywhere eager to welcome her. When she wanted to work, she could join a spiritual qi academy, choosing any subject and either a teaching or staff position. From time to time, she would even receive exciting missions to save souls or fight disasters, elevating her spirit. Ran Xia: What a life! No regrets! The demon: ??? Could you people at least show some manners? When spiritual qi revival arrived, the states of Blue Star fell into chaos, but the people discovered that Zhongzhou had long been prepared. While other states scrambled to deal with the dangers of strange energies emerging, Zhongzhou had already set up instruments to collect them. While people capable of wielding power in other states varied greatly and social order shifted, Zhongzhou could already send out a group of mature cultivators to manage public order, open schools, and teach systematically. While other states cried out and fought fiercely over the spirit treasures that suddenly appeared, Zhongzhou had already managed to mass-produce them so everyone could have one. Those states: "...??? How did you do that?" Zhongzhou: "Well, to answer that, we'd have to start with our state's thousand-year-old history and traditions..." Theme: Pushing beyond one's limits
