We've All Transmigrated into Books, So Who's Still Going to Be a Lovesick Fool?

Blurb:

#Cultivation Progression, Plot-Driven Power Fantasy#

After transmigrating into a cultivation novel as the cannon-fodder childhood friend who can never beat the girl who appears out of nowhere, Sheng Lianchi laughs. This is a proper cultivation novel: cultivation and spirit stones are what matter. A childhood friend can only affect how fast I advance and make money!

Destroying my cultivation path for the male lead, offering up my golden core, loving without being loved back, turning evil and causing trouble, burning to death... None of that is going to happen to me!

With a cultivation cheat in hand, isn't leveling up and making money much better?

The hapless childhood friend, Fire-Burned Lotus, says this brainless plot is ridiculous. No way! Not happening! I'm not doing it!

These past few days, the biggest gossip in Kun Yuan Sect is that the childhood friend of the fan-favorite senior brother from Baoyuan Peak has fallen for someone else and is now inseparable from an outer-sect disciple.

Gossiping disciples: What a cliché. It's the old play-hard-to-get trick. Just wait and see. In three days, Senior Sister Lianchi will be on her knees at Baoyuan Peak, begging the senior brother to forgive her.

But:

One day later, Senior Sister didn't go to Baoyuan Peak. She went to Qingping Village to exterminate demonic beasts

Ten days later, Senior Sister didn't go to Baoyuan Peak. She went to the Sword Mound to seek her destined spirit sword

Three months later, Senior Sister didn't go to Baoyuan Peak. She went to a secret realm for a trial

The gossiping disciples waited with bated breath: When is Senior Sister finally going to show up?

Sheng Lianchi, focused on fighting monsters and leveling up to earn spirit stones: Go wash up and get some sleep. You're not getting any more of this gossip.

Short scene:

On her first day after transmigrating into a book, Sheng Lianchi grabbed a passing black-robed youth and kissed him without hesitation in front of all the disciples!

Well, well, everyone exchanged knowing looks. So that's the kind of senior sister she is.

Seeing their reaction, Sheng Lianchi was very pleased. She was just about to head back when the black-robed youth stopped her.

The youth was incomparably handsome, his eyes blood-red at the corners, his expression a mixture of defiance and restraint. "You kissed me and think you can just leave?"

This is bad! Sheng Lianchi instantly turned to stone. The youth was none other than the darkened villain who had nearly wiped out every immortal sect all by himself. Could she go back and kiss someone else instead?

Years later

The villain learned what she'd thought back then. His voice hoarse, he let out a grim, cold laugh. "Go ahead and switch. If you switch to one person, I'll kill one. If you switch to a pair, I'll kill a pair. Let's see if your mouth is faster or my sword!"

Reading guide:

@A cultivation progression, plot-driven power fantasy. Long story, slow-burn romance, perfectly happy ending. My own take on xianxia, written in plain language, with plenty of original worldbuilding.

@The heroine always gets revenge, but she's a good person (probably). She's obsessed with leveling up and making money (in spirit stones), and occasionally gets carried away imagining things.

@The hero has a secret identity and won't truly turn evil (probably not). He's cold on the outside and passionate inside, with secrets and twists in store.

@I revise the story from time to time. If there's no special notice, you don't need to reread it.

Add my upcoming story, The First Demon Pet of the Immortal Sect, to your collection!

After three and a half days of working herself to the bone, 996 office worker Chiyu's heart stopped and she died suddenly. When she opened her eyes again, she had become a frail little white cat, badly injured and weak. A peerlessly handsome man took her home, and she began living the pampered life of a rich family's pet cat, something she'd envied beyond measure in her previous life.

That was more than enough for her cat life. Just as she decided to lie back and coast through the rest of her days, she discovered that she wasn't an ordinary cat at all, but the Nine Lives Cat Demon, the Demon King feared by all the other demons.

Even worse, she'd hidden her identity and injured her own demon core to infiltrate Xuantian Sect, all to assassinate her owner, Pei Yunluo, the Sword Venerable of Xuantian Sect.

What good could come of being a double agent? After regaining the original owner's memories, Chiyu decided to start by brainwashing Bodu, the tiger demon and the Demon King's most loyal follower

"Why do we demons cultivate?"

"To ascend."

"If you had to choose between ascending and becoming the Demon King, which would you pick?"

"Ascending!"

"The demon realm is low on spiritual energy, making advancement difficult. Xuantian Sect has all the treasures you could want, as well as a peak for demons to live on and immortal techniques suited to their cultivation. If it were you, what would you choose?"

"Xuantian Sect."

Pei Yunluo, Sword Venerable of Xuantian Sect, is not only highly accomplished in cultivation but also peerlessly handsome. He is the ideal partner for female cultivators throughout the cultivation world, and the ultimate goal male cultivators strive to surpass. Unfortunately, he never gives male cultivators the time of day, and keeps female cultivators at a respectful distance.

As time passed, everyone assumed his Dao heart was steadfast and his mind free of worldly distractions. He thought so himself, too, until one day he came across a badly injured little beast, barely clinging to life, which turned into a human and fell asleep in his arms every night...

The disciples of Xuantian Sect, who have always held Sword Peak in the highest regard, suddenly began to take pride in having a fluffy contracted beast.

Beast Taming Peak, long overlooked for having the fewest disciples and weakest strength, suddenly became the most popular place for new disciples to seek a master. Even Sword Venerable Pei Yunluo attended every class at Beast Taming Peak, including Spirit Beast Feeding and Spirit Beast Psychology.

At the sect competition, every Xuantian Sect contestant, regardless of cultivation level, had a spirit beast. Everyone thought Beast Taming Sect had merged with Xuantian Sect, unaware that the Demon King and the Sword Venerable had formed a pact, and countless demons had moved to Xuantian Sect.
