Luo Huai has a secret: she transmigrated here, and brought along a useless System. She can see everyone's embarrassing secrets.
Other people transmigrate with the script in hand and become rich and powerful. She transmigrated only to become a hapless disciple, forced by her master to endure punishing cultivation. And just after he brought her back to the sect, her master promptly washed his hands of everything.
All he left her was a sect buried under a mountain of debt,
plus a senior brother like Lin Daiyu, betrayed and emotionally abused until he stayed shut away in his room all day;
a second senior sister driven out of a major sect after her childhood sweetheart and fiance conspired with his mistress against her, now drinking herself into a stupor every day;
and a frail third senior brother who could no longer cultivate after a disciple of the Hehuan Sect dug out his golden core;
Luo Huai: What a catastrophic start.
In response, Luo Huai speedily founded the Cultivation World's first entertainment gossip rag:
"Shocking! The Immortal Venerable of the number one sect has secretly been married for years?! He may be in love with a fox woman from the demon race, and they even have a child!!"
"The most popular gentleman among women turns into a gorgeous bottom and meets a muscle-bound man at night! Could the other man be his sworn enemy?!"
The rival: Buy the story! Buy every copy!
In recent years, the cultivation sects of the six prefectures of Chuanzhe feared neither demonic invasions nor chaos caused by the demon race. What they did fear was the First Entertainment Headline announcing, "Next month, we're dropping a huge scoop!"
Everyone rushed over to buy the stories, terrified that their own embarrassing secrets would be exposed and ruin their reputations beyond repair.
Sometimes, if they ran into each other at the door, they could only whirl around in a hurry and pretend they were just passing by.
When someone came to buy a story, she said, "Your spirit mountain looks nice."
The person cried out in anguish: "Take it! Take it all!"
When someone came to mock her, she said, "Good disciples, hurry over to Uncle Li's place and learn a thing or two."
Her rival, robbed of everything: "Close the mountain! Seal it off!"
When someone called her vulgar and said she was barely human,
she went completely off the rails: "Why are you so fierce? Trying to get my attention? Hmph, let me see your little secret, handsome."
"???"
Luo Huai sped along the path of acting like a crazed paparazzo, until one day her home was surrounded, with betrothal gifts stretching from the mountaintop to its foot.
Changsun Rong was heaven's favored son, unmatched in beauty throughout the six prefectures. His Clear Breeze swordsmanship was feared by all, and he was the only person whose scandals had never been exposed.
The once-arrogant top sword cultivator spoke with deep feeling: "Do you remember the person you once saved?"
Luo Huai rubbed her hands together excitedly. "You're the person I saved, right?"
Was she finally going to get the romance plot exclusive to transmigrators? The kind where he offers himself to repay her!
"No." The man's weary expression eased a little, and he smiled. "I'm the assassin."
Luo Huai: ?
