I Transmigrated into the Villain and Ascended by Picking Up Junk

[Pre-release: A Guide to Ruining Your Villainous Junior Brother. Blurb at the end.]

Zong Zhengman died of overwork in the real world. When she opened her eyes, she discovered she had transmigrated into a book.

There wasn't much wrong with transmigrating into a book, except she'd gotten the villain's script!

To avoid attracting attention, Zong Zhengman carries a bamboo basket up mountains and down fields every day, scavenging for junk. She hopes her strange behavior will conceal her villainous identity.

But the junk in the cultivation world seems to be pretty high quality. Zong Zhengman keeps pulling SSR-level loot out of it.

For instance:

The random rock she picked up turned into a top-grade spirit stone after a wash.

The little black pot the male and female leads didn't want turned into a spirit-gathering cauldron when she brought it home.

The handsome guy lying by the roadside turned out to be the Great Demon King after she cleaned him up (crossed out).

And so on, too many examples to count.

In this way, Zong Zhengman uses her unbelievable scavenging skills to climb straight to the top.

Everyone hears rumors that the senior sister of Qianshan Sect has gone mad from stress and started scavenging every day. Only later do they realize that Zong Zhengman has already ascended, thanks to all the "junk" she picked up.

Everyone is stunned: So I'm the real clown?!

A strong, lucky queen of scavenging x a beautiful, domestic, unhinged Great Demon King

P.S. The setting is entirely made up.

Cultivation levels: Qi Refining - Foundation Establishment - Golden Core - Nascent Soul - Spirit Severing - Body Integration - Mahayana - Tribulation Transcendence (Ascension)

An unromantic workaholic senior sister x a gloomy, scheming, love-struck junior brother

Years after transmigrating to another world, Shen Shuang cultivates diligently, all to become the greatest sword cultivator and ascend back to her original world as soon as possible.

Who would have thought that one day a System would suddenly appear and tell her she's the heroine of an angst novel?

She will become so consumed by the gentle affection of her junior brother, the Demon God, that she'll turn into a lovesick fool and give everything to help him cultivate. In the end, the male lead will slaughter her sect and torment her both physically and emotionally. After countless misunderstandings and injuries, she'll choose to forgive him and achieve a happy ending.

To rewrite her hapless-lead script, Shen Shuang immediately decides to nip the problem in the bud.

But the male lead has the protagonist's halo, so Shen Shuang can only take her time: ruin her junior brother's cultivation while stealing his fortune and rewriting his destiny.

Under her meticulous care, the Demon God male lead is raised into a beautiful, fragile parasitic flower.

Meanwhile, she successfully breaks through to the next cultivation level, with only ascension left to go.

Everyone in Liuyun Sect knows that the cold-hearted senior sister dotes on her junior brother, protecting and caring for him at every turn, never letting him face danger alone.

Even Yue Chenshu believes it himself.

To keep her favor, he works hard to play the role of a fragile junior brother in front of Shen Shuang. He never bares his fangs, and nearly forgets why he infiltrated the sect in the first place.

So it isn't until the day the Frostfrost Sword pierces his heart that he suddenly realizes:

Heh. So the senior sister has been lying to him all along.
