Dark clouds blot out the sky, banners whip in the wind, and the enchantress's blood runs down the Immortal-Binding Rope and across the ground.

The eldest senior sister was a peerless genius for half her life, yet she fell to the demonic path just because she was jealous of the junior sister..." Ye Lingyuan: Huh? Her fellow disciple glances at her. "It's nice to be as carefree as you." Ye Lingyuan watches the trial in a daze. When heavenly lightning strikes, she even forgets to dodge.

Afraid the demonic energy would hurt her, she hid away to recover, but a backstabbing man took advantage of her weakness. The junior sister has always thought he was her savior. In reality, not only was the junior sister saved by the eldest senior sister, but that opportunistic backstabber also only survived because the eldest senior sister upheld justice and spared his sorry hide all those years ago!] Ye Lingyuan: I thought this was about unchecked ambition, but it's actually a tragic love story.

A thousand-year-old tree finally blossoms, and he goes after his brother's woman? That's wild!" [Breaking! The sect leader, unmarried for a thousand years, falls for her disciple because the girl's features resemble her own!] Ye Lingyuan is stunned. "A teacher-student romance? A substitute trope? If this doesn't end with him getting burned to ashes, it won't satisfy my short temper. Junior sister, I couldn't put up with that. A dog would have more patience." Junior sister: "..."

Unfortunately, after two consecutive months of working around the clock, she died at her desk on the eve of a round of layoffs. Then she transmigrated into a novel, becoming the infamous Demon Venerable. The worst part was that she was also bound to a System. It required her to maintain the persona of a cruel Demon Venerable, become the sworn enemy of this world's chosen hero, and make sure the male lead didn't turn evil and could go on to save the world. At this point, the male lead was ten years away from turning evil and destroying the world. Qin Jun expressionlessly looked over the Demon Palace's financial statements, its unevenly skilled and undisciplined employees, and its disastrous performance over the past hundred years... Under the System's surveillance, she stared at the Demon Palace's staff roster for an hour... Then she decided to hold the first morning meeting in the five-hundred-year history of the Demon Palace. After that, she compiled personal information on every current Demon Palace employee. Next, she issued every employee a communication token, set up a messaging app, and made sure they could stay in touch at all times. No taking organizational property off the premises without permission. Staff must clock in and out for shifts. Field assignments require advance requests... Every employee would be assigned a rank and assessed for an annual bonus based on their cultivation and performance. Those who couldn't meet expectations would have to turn right at the door and find another way to make a living. The male lead, who had decided to lie flat after being reborn, had lost all faith in the orthodox sects and planned to head to the Demon Palace's territory to find a meal ticket. And then... He worked his way up from a Level Four employee to Level Ten, becoming the Demon Palace's only senior expert in charge of a major research and development project. He monopolized key technologies and manipulated the cultivation world's investment market. Qin Jun built on a massive scale throughout the Demon Palace's territory, establishing housing-subsidy districts and building homes near good schools. The company culture started with the children. From capturing the market to total dominance. A hundred years later, cultivators were horrified to discover that the Demon Palace had become the trendsetter for the entire cultivation world. All trading and commerce went through the Demon Palace's exchange. All financial transactions used the Demon Palace's platform. The Demon Palace's technology covered every aspect of life. Even the textbooks used by orthodox sects to teach their disciples were made by the Demon Palace, for crying out loud! Qin Jun became the dark cloud looming over every orthodox sect. Seeing the black aura around the male lead, the chosen hero, grow heavier by the day, Qin Jun decided to give him an extra promotion, dangling the prospect of a higher position so he'd focus on work and stay away from turning evil. After all, the chosen hero was truly a powerhouse among workaholics.
