Give It Up! This Isn't Normal

[Blurb]

In response to the latest policies of the Six Realms, the Ten Yama Kings of the Netherworld all went into the mortal world to experience reincarnation, along with its seven emotions and six desires.

Before they left, they temporarily entrusted the entire Netherworld to Granny Meng, who had not appeared before the ghosts for several thousand years.

During Granny Meng's first month in charge, the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm appeared on the Bridge of Helplessness every day... ladling soup and sending souls on their way.

By Granny Meng's sixth month in charge, no one knew how the Ten Yama Kings were faring as they experienced the seven emotions and six desires in the mortal world. But Granny Meng and the Demon Lord, who had met on the Bridge of Helplessness, went together to the World Tree and firmly tied their red threads of fate for the tens of thousands of years to come.

After transmigrating into the cultivation world, Nan Xiaoxing unexpectedly became the twenty-eighth sect leader of Tianyan Sect because of the unfinished last words of its former leader.

The sect was already down on its luck, and nearly half its members left on the very night she took over, making it even more desolate.

She had planned to just muddle through, but the System's rewards were too tempting to ignore, and she couldn't help setting out to build up the sect...

*

The first day of building the sect.

Nan Xiaoxing instinctively mastered the boss's skill of making empty promises. "Senior Brother, listen to me. Just work hard for a few more years. Once our sect goes public, uh, I mean, grows strong, you'll be able to get anything you want in this whole continent!"

"Senior Sister, listen to me. These little romances are nothing. See that strong, strapping sword cultivator on the neighboring mountain? Work hard, and once our sect grows big and strong, you can pick whichever one you like!"

Senior Brothers and Sisters: "Oh, oh!"

The first month of building the sect.

Scattered rumors about Tianyan Sect began to spread at the foot of the mountain.

"I hear Tianyan Sect has been doing pretty well lately?"

"Come on, you believe that? A sect that couldn't even afford spirit rice has merely developed enough to have a meal of spirit beast meat and improve its diet."

The cultivators: "Oh, oh..."

The first year of building the sect.

Rumors about Tianyan Sect were everywhere, not just at the foot of the mountain, but throughout the entire cultivation world.

"Have you heard? Those Tianyan Sect disciples eat precious pills like candy!"

"That's not all. I hear the cultivators of Tianyan Sect even have high-grade spirit stones embedded in their shoes!"

"That's nothing. Apparently, Tianyan Sect cultivators sleep right on top of spirit veins every day. Their cultivation improves by leaps and bounds without even practicing!"

The entire cultivation world: "Oh, oh OoO!!!"

*

Much later, Tianyan Sect had become an utterly unshakable colossus in the cultivation world.

The cultivators who had first kept an eye on Tianyan Sect all those years ago were gathered outside its mountain gate, as usual discussing the latest news about the sect.

"If you ask me, Tianyan Sect is great in every way. It's just a shame its sect leader still hasn't drawn qi into her body. Tsk, tsk."

The other cultivators all widened their eyes and stared at him in shock.

"Are you seriously feeling sorry for her?"

"Have you forgotten? Outside Fengdou City, the four sects' Nascent Soul Ancestors fought her for three whole days. In the end, the Nascent Soul Ancestors ran out of spiritual power, while she was still glowing with health!"

"She can set up formations with every step, without even using a spell. And you call that a shame?!"

"And not long ago, the Heavenly Dao itself laid down a Stairway to Heaven to welcome her. A shame? Please, save some of that pity for me!"

#My sect may be in a sorry state, but that's okay. It'll grow on its own!#

#I may not be able to cultivate, but that's okay. I've got a cheat!#

Wealth-Building System 007 transmigrated into a tragic romance novel and became the heroine, Song Xizhi.

She was the legitimate daughter of a merchant family, beautiful but useless in every other way.

The story began with the late emperor's death. The feudal lords rose up, and the realm was plunged into conflict.

On the male lead Ye Lintian's path to conquering the realm, the Song family, to which the heroine belonged, was responsible for providing financial support in the early stages. The heroine, Song Xizhi, was responsible for being misunderstood, abandoned, crippled, suspected, physically abused, and emotionally tormented. In short, she took on every duty expected of a tragic romance heroine.

After going over the plot, Song Xizhi: "..." Back! Back!! Back!!!

On the first day after Ye Lintian misunderstood and abandoned her, she met Qin Chaoye at the Song family home. In the original story, he was a deranged villain with few men and little military strength, but he would make a comeback and become the male lead's strongest rival later on.

Song Xizhi: I've decided to raise you! My little one!

*

Qin Chaoye had thought he would spend his whole life struggling to survive in the darkness. But at the most wretched point of his life, he met someone.

She was the only deity in this broken world, lighting a flame meant for him alone amid the raging fires of war.

He lacked food, so she taught him to grow crops.

He lacked money, so she helped him make it.

He lacked weapons, so she helped him forge them.

Everything he had ever coveted but never possessed, she placed in his hands as casually as if it meant nothing.

But her heart seemed to belong to someone else.

She paid attention to that person, thought about that person, and even pulled him along to follow in that person's footsteps.

He grew dark and jealous, and the anger and possessiveness in his heart grew day by day.

*

Song Xizhi recently realized that the villain cub she was raising to cripple and torment the male lead, and to shoulder the responsibilities of a tragic romance hero, had been acting strangely.

To be specific...

When she ran around recruiting talent, the villain cub changed into casual clothes. "Xixi, can you stop bringing that person up from now on?"

When she racked her brains over how to write a declaration of war, the villain cub picked up a spatula. "If I win Xixi's stomach, will I win her heart too?"

When she worked herself to the bone earning the people's favor, the villain cub raised a red candle. "Xixi will stay with me for the rest of our lives, right?"

Song Xizhi stared in horror at the villain, who was holding chopsticks and about to feed him. "Are you insane? The realm is right there for the taking, and you're sitting here acting lovesick?!"

#Heck, the villain I raised turned into a lovesick fool#

#Men really can't be relied on. When it counts, I have to do it myself#
