The Sword Sect's First Exchange Student

Wen Zhao, a beautiful ornament from the demonic path, was chosen as the first guinea pig in the exchange student program launched after the righteous and demonic factions made peace.

She'd wanted to be a layabout, but unexpectedly embarked on an unconventional path to becoming stronger.

During the entrance trial, she somehow made it to the top and came in first.

In her first major test, she somehow turned an expedition into a spring picnic.

At the Sword Mound, where cultivators chose their swords, she successfully organized the first Sword Spirit Job Fair at Taiyan Sect, giving sword cultivators and sword spirits a chance to interview one-on-one.

By the time of the summit between the righteous and demonic factions, Wen Zhao was standing onstage in a daze, accepting her award as the top exchange student. When asked how she'd gone from a pretty ornament to number one, she suddenly snapped to attention.

Wasn't I supposed to be a layabout from the start?

A rumor was going around: The top exchange student had only achieved her results by seducing the Sword Sect's senior brother.

A busybody went straight to ask the Sword Sect disciples.

The disciples looked astonished. Their leader pulled out a copy of "The Hehuan Sect Guide to Cultivation" and opened it to a list of requirements.

First: Good looks and an outstanding figure.

Second: To win someone's heart, start by winning their stomach.

Third: A contrast between public and private selves: aloof in public, sweet in private.

An onlooker gasped. "Wen Zhao really rose to the top using those methods?"

The Sword Sect disciples looked even more perplexed. "You've got it backwards."

"Our senior brother is the one who fits all the requirements."

"He's the one who seduced her first."

A beautiful ornament in the early days who grows more and more formidable, a junior sister of the Charm Sect x a Sword Sect senior brother who thinks he's preserving peace between the two factions, but is actually so biased he's practically in the Pacific Ocean

Pre-release: "Until Dawn"

Shen Wenyuan, the gifted eldest son of the Shen family and their pride and joy, was told he was not truly one of them. When the real eldest son came to claim his place, Shen Wenyuan crippled his own cultivation, rendering years of practice worthless overnight.

A fallen tiger is bullied by dogs.

The boy was chained by the neck and put on display as merchandise on an auction stage. Yu Li stared at the bloodstains still drying on his face, the glaring red against his pale skin. Without thinking, she pressed the bid button.

Everyone at Sihai Academy knew that the Yu family's good-for-nothing young lady and the top student of their year, Shen Wenyuan, had never gotten along. When news broke that Yu Li had bought Shen Wenyuan, most people were more eager for the drama than surprised.

But as they watched, spring turned to winter, and instead of the spectacle they expected, they heard the two of them had won first place together in the joint tournament.

Everyone: Who said they didn't get along?

Yu Li thought Shen Wenyuan was like a stray dog that would never be tamed.

When she found out he was really a demon beast, unlike everyone else, Yu Li could only think of one thing:

See? I told you he was a dog.

But when the boy knelt before her, placed his fluffy tail in her hand, and looked up to beg her to keep looking at him, Yu Li closed her eyes, but her hand instinctively stroked the tip of his tail.
