After transmigrating into a book, Ye Qingqing gains a magical buff that makes her stronger the more blood she coughs up. Then, for some reason, she falls asleep for a hundred years. When she wakes, the world has turned upside down.
Her fiance has married someone else, her junior fellow disciple has betrayed her, and her closest friend has fallen to demonic ways.
Most importantly, her own sect has actually fallen into decline?!
Tactful and image-conscious Ye Qingqing: I! Won't! Allow! It!
To keep up appearances as they teeter on the brink, and to stay alive a little longer, Sect Master Ye Qingqing decides to go out herself and recruit people to rebuild the sect.
On her first recruitment trip, she brings back a young master covered in wounds.
He is the foil to the male lead in a power-progression wish-fulfillment novel.
On her second trip, she brings back a little girl with a fever that won't break.
She is the vicious, malicious villainess in a novel where everyone dotes on the heroine.
On her third trip, she brings back a child someone had abandoned by the roadside.
He is the ultimate world-destroying supervillain in a domineering male lead novel.
Ye Qingqing: .
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth without changing expression.
Forget it. Let's all rot together.

A few years later, people in the cultivation world are astonished to discover that, under Sect Master Ye Qingqing's leadership, the Tianji Sect has not quietly disappeared. Instead, it has grown more prosperous by the day, showing every sign of regaining its former glory.
It's just that... her disciples seem a little strange.
Disciple 1: You keep smiling at Master. You must be trying to seduce her. You deserve to die!
The heroine of the everyone-dotes-on-her novel: ?
Disciple 2: You keep looking at Master. You must be trying to seduce her. You deserve to die!
The Sword Venerable who admires the strong: ??
Disciple 3: Your clothes are too revealing. You must be trying to seduce Master. You deserve to die!
The domineering male lead, whose clothes have been cut to tatters by his opponent: ???
Coughing up blood, Ye Qingqing gazes at her eldest disciple and sighs.
"Of all these disciples, you're the only normal one."
Her eldest disciple presses his lips together in a smile.
He bends down and kneels on one knee in front of Ye Qingqing, carefully and slowly wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.
His movements are as graceful as ink-washed bamboo on a mountain, carrying the elegance of an aristocratic family, bright and serene.
"If Master doesn't like the sight of them, just let me kill them."
"Rather than waste your thoughts on them, Master, you should think about me more."
Ye Qingqing, in the middle of coughing up blood: ?
Good disciple, is there something wrong with your character setup too?
