---- Blurb for this novel ----

Yu Wanwan, a die-hard overachiever in the apocalypse, was unlucky enough to be pierced through the heart by the Zombie King during a mission. After dying, she transmigrated to the cultivation world and became the junior sister of the Xuantian Sword Sect.

The good news: all five of her supernatural abilities had come with her, so she didn't have to start grinding from scratch. The bad news: the laws of this world were different, and having five spiritual roots made her a good-for-nothing in the cultivation world.

Yu Wanwan: Yay! Time to lie flat and enjoy retirement!

From then on, among the three hundred disciples of the Xuantian Sword Sect, where everyone was an overachiever, there was one lazy junior sister who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and had no desire to improve.

But one day, junior sisters from several sects suddenly started working themselves to the bone. When word reached the Xuantian Sword Sect, her senior brothers and sisters looked at her expectantly.

Senior brothers and sisters: How about you, too...?

Yu Wanwan: Absolutely not.

But the face-slapping came fast. The food System that had lain dormant in her sea of consciousness for years suddenly struck, telling her she had at most one year left to live.

This is bad. My fate is out of my hands, so I need to find a way to keep myself alive first!

She used a medicine cauldron as a pot, a spirit sword as a spatula, and a heavenly flame to light the stove, cooking all things under the sun.

A bowl of fish boiled in water reconciled her with an old friend, who went on to overcome tribulation and achieve the Golden Core stage.

A serving of pork in sweet-and-sour sauce freed someone from their lovesick obsession, helping her tear apart a scumbag and devote herself to the Heartless Dao.

A spoonful of coconut chicken helped a weapon-refining genius comprehend the Great Dao and forge an unparalleled divine weapon.

A cup of hand-shaken lemon tea helped a body cultivator girl master an external incarnation and become a candidate for sect leader.

From then on, a saying spread through the cultivation world: If you want to ascend, give up fasting.

Yu Wanwan, whose lifespan was skyrocketing: More, more! I want to live even longer.

And so, by a twist of fate, the mountains and seas were overturned, spiritual veins revived, and a depleted continent bloomed with life once more.

Then she saved the cultivation world.

Xie Buyan, the foremost disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, was just like his name: a man of few words. He was certainly powerful, but terribly cold and distant.

That was until one day, Xie Buyan handed his treasured spirit sword, which he wouldn't let anyone else so much as touch, to a young woman.

Without even furrowing his brow, he watched her wield it, bringing it down with a swift stroke to slice up the fish she'd prepared. The ancient spirit sword, meant to slay demons and vanquish evil, turned the fish into thin slices.

Everyone's jaws dropped.

After that, rumors that Xie Buyan had been possessed ran rampant.

Meanwhile, Xie Buyan, bound to a romance-loop System, stared blankly at a sword manual late into the night. On its first page were the words: Forget the one in your heart, and your sword will naturally find its spirit.

Later, he tore the manual to shreds and added another log to the young woman's stove.

Things to know before reading:

1. This novel is 30% absurd comedy, 30% food, 30% male lead, and 10% everything else. It has the feel-good tag, but everyone's idea of a satisfying story is different. If you come across a scene that doesn't do it for you, feel free to give the author a kick or run for the hills.

2. The female lead isn't a superwoman. She's imperfect and grows over time.

3. After the story goes premium, I'll do my best to update three chapters a day. I'll let you know if I need a break, and I'll see it through to the end.

4. This is my take on cultivation, with plenty of personal worldbuilding.

5. I'll add other notes if I think of any. There are countless great stories on Jinjiang. If anything makes you uncomfortable, just click the top right corner and leave feeling refreshed.

---- Below is the blurb for my upcoming novel. Tap my profile to see it, and please add it to your favorites! ----

Ye Chichi was bound to a transmigration-into-a-book System and dropped into a tragic cultivation novel. Her mission was to win over the aloof Immortal Venerable, Xie Jiuyuan.

With an incredible start from the start, Ye Chichi thought: I've never had such an easy fight. Surely I can win him over without breaking a sweat?

Then the unexpected happened.

Xie Jiuyuan ignored her beauty, which could stun all six realms, and kept her at arm's length.

He ran, she chased, and she ended up the cannon fodder every time.

Xie Jiuyuan's affection level was like a locked door, always stuck at 99% with no way to break through.

At last, on her ninth attempt, the System couldn't take it anymore and crashed as all kinds of side-story endings went haywire.

Ye Chichi returned once more to the day she first met Xie Jiuyuan.

2.

Everyone knows that tragic cultivation novels have three essentials: the good-for-nothing, the substitute, and the lovesick fool.

After experiencing it nine times, Ye Chichi had this to say: Thanks, but I'm not getting hurt by this story one bit.

System: Plotline one: Take a sword blow for the Immortal Venerable in the secret realm.

Ye Chichi: I'm supposed to be a good-for-nothing. I could die if I take a sword blow.

System: It'll only hurt a little, and you'll become the Immortal Venerable's one true love.

Ye Chichi: I'll give you two big slaps! I'm not going!

System: Plotline two: Use the blood from your heart to forge a sword for the Immortal Venerable.

Ye Chichi: No need. I can buy one for ten spirit stones.

System: ...

Avoiding every crucial plot point, Ye Chichi diligently cultivated and quietly enjoyed her retirement. She had a carefree life, occasionally teasing her junior brother for fun.

Until one day, she started thinking about leaving the mountain. The usually aloof and self-possessed Immortal Venerable pinned her against the bed, gripping her wrist tightly. His eyes looked fragile, as if he were a puppy about to be abandoned by its owner. "You slept with me and now you want to run? Not a chance."

Ye Chichi: Hey! You're breaking character!

Reader's guide:

1. This is a romance-focused practice piece written to pay off a debt. I'll do my best to create intense romantic tension. If I fail, don't hesitate to run!

2. The male lead isn't a scumbag. The System's mission involves killing her if she fails. One-on-one romance, happy ending.

3. The male lead is devoted from beginning to end, and only ever loves the female lead. (I can't say any more without spoiling things.)

4. I'll add more if I think of anything.
