My Years as a Big Shot's Mount

Bai Jintang was unexpectedly summoned to another world by a book. Good news: She had become a mythical beast, a Bai Ze, with incredible luck and the ability to survive almost anything. Bad news: The book spirit, which called itself the Xuantian Scroll, couldn't send her back for now. First, she had to gather the fortunes of the chosen ones to replenish its energy. With no other choice, Bai Jintang set off to seek out powerful figures. But for some reason, the powerful people she found kept meeting with disaster. One had his eyes gouged out, another was burned and left disabled, and the worst of all, a corpse-controlling grandmaster, had his mortuary base washed away by a mudslide. Bai Jintang: Are all these powerful people so fragile...? No, wait! I think I'm about to get them all killed! After much reflection, Bai Jintang made up her mind: She had to cling to the leg of the most resilient powerhouse she could find! * One day, Daoist Lord Xiangli, known throughout the martial world as the Ghost-Faced Immortal, emerged from seclusion. They said he brought ruin upon his family and sect alike, a true bearer of calamity. While everyone else was on edge, Bai Jintang's eyes lit up! A bearer of calamity? You think you're more unlucky than me? Nervously packing her things, Bai Jintang went to seek refuge with this legendary powerhouse. Daoist Lord Xiangli really was resilient, but he had a bad temper and was stingy. After he rejected her time and again, Bai Jintang figured she'd lose her job sooner or later, so she secretly began scouting other promising powerhouses. But she was afraid she'd get them killed, so she always ran off as soon as she had collected their fortunes. The kindhearted and beautiful demon princess had a bit of a hopeless romantic streak. Bai Jintang gave her a reality check, and the princess became queen. The ethereal and dignified sect master of Qingji Sect had a disciple colluding with the demonic race. Bai Jintang reported him, saving the sect from being wiped out. The divine healer of Medicine Valley could bring the dead back to life, but had made friends with the wrong person. Bai Jintang stopped that person in time, saving a precious medicinal formula. Only after realizing that Bai Jintang had beaten up their fiance, attacked their little disciple, or driven away their best friend to protect them did the powerhouses regret everything. Is it too late to find Tangtang and apologize? * Chu Xiangli was bored one day and took in a mount, never expecting it to be so lazy and gluttonous that it acted more like its master than he did. At first, Chu Xiangli thought, Maybe I should just take her heart's blood to heal my injuries. But as he kept her around, he gradually found it hard to be without her. Then one day, he unexpectedly spotted his mount at a grand immortal sect banquet hosted by a neighboring sect. Watching Bai Jintang lounge beside a young Daoist Lord, Chu Xiangli coldly crushed the wine cup in his hand. The other powerhouses, crushing their cups too: ... They had been searching everywhere for her, and she was out there mooching meals from one household after another! Surrounded without warning, Bai Jintang trembled. "Maybe we could sit down and talk this over?" The powerhouses all reached for her at once, grinding their teeth so hard they nearly cracked them. "There's. Nothing. To. Discuss!" Reading guide: 1. A lighthearted, fun story. 2. Naturally scheming heroine x sharp-tongued, jaded old dog. Includes a bit of groveling and a love-rivalry showdown. Theme: Keep your feet on the ground, punish evil, and make sure bad people get what they deserve.
