Jiang Heli worked herself to death in the rat race of the twenty-first century, only to open her eyes and find herself as the scheming green-tea female side character in a cultivation Mary Sue novel.
The character has nothing but a gorgeous face and noble status. Her cultivation comes entirely from pills, and her gear is all provided by her elders. Thanks to her masterful ability to keep everyone happy, she has charmed countless powerful figures and maintained a flawless public image. Revered as the cultivation world's foremost beauty, she is a transcendent fairy, pure as the moon.
Then the heroine exposes her true face. The heroine's unique soul makes the powerful men love her but unable to have her, so the side character grows jealous and viciously targets her. After suffering one face-slapping defeat after another, she is abandoned by everyone. She falls to demonic cultivation and is killed by the respected master she revered most.
The side character can't accept this, so she brings in Jiang Heli.
Jiang Heli transmigrates right as the side character's lies are falling apart. Powerful figures from all sides are crowding outside to demand answers, and inside the room, a beautiful young man is tied up with his clothes in disarray.
The Demon Lord/medical cultivator/Buddhist disciple/miracle healer/demon cultivator/Ghost King/emperor, all strung along by her: “Who do you love?”
Jiang Heli, with an air of righteousness: “Of course I love cultivation! My heart is set on nothing but the Great Dao!”
To prove her resolve, Jiang Heli puts her scholar's workaholic spirit to the ultimate test.
The heroine and the Immortal Venerable have a heart-to-heart beneath the moon. Just as the heroine is about to describe her lofty ambitions in the moonlight, Jiang Heli quietly appears and sits cross-legged on a rock. “As expected, meditating here is the most efficient way to absorb the moon's power.”
The heroine encounters the Demon Lord in the forest. Just as she is about to hide the gravely wounded Demon Lord, who has changed into his original form, Jiang Heli lifts him by the scruff of his neck and calmly remarks, “This kind of demonic beast isn't recorded in any of the 231 reference books. We should hand it over to the sect.”
The heroine and the Buddhist disciple are trapped in a secret realm. Just as the heroine is about to sacrifice herself to cure his poison, help him defeat the mechanism beast, and escape the realm, Jiang Heli quietly passes them by on her way deeper into the secret realm. “An earth-grade puppet? Nothing worth studying.”
The heroine protests: “How can you turn everything into a competition? Why not compete over the romance plot for once? Do you even have a sweet romance?”
Jiang Heli: “...I don't think I do.”
A certain beauty: “I do. Ah Li has only me in her heart.”
Everyone: “And who are you?”
The beauty: “Just an ordinary incarnation of the Great Dao.”
