"My dear big sister, I want to live differently this time. I'll take the sect that dotes on you and the junior brother who adores you." Twin sisters were reborn in the womb. The younger sister was born first, and the sisters' names and fates were switched.
Elder sister: Six.
It wasn't until she was a thousand years old and dying that Qiansui remembered she wasn't a native of the cultivation world. She was an unlucky player who had transmigrated after beating a cyberpunk game.
When alien creatures invaded, she revealed her tentacles to protect her sect. Her master took her for a monster and locked her in a forbidden place. Her senior brother used her blood to make pills, while her second senior brother cut off her tentacles to make magical artifacts. The junior brother she'd bought no longer looked at her with admiration; all he had in his eyes was disgust. They relied on her repeatedly distinguishing herself in battle and became the world's heroes, while she was tortured until her body was broken and died without a sound.
So whoever wants to go to that hellhole can go. This time, without her there to bail them out, she's curious to see how far that sect can get on its own.

A branch of the Kunlun Sword Sect was famous for its misfortunes. One of its three master and disciple members was nearing the end of his life, one seemed on the verge of madness, and the other had a shattered dantian. The old, the sick, and the disabled, plus the baby girl they'd just picked up: they had the whole set.
One day, starving Qiansui waved her tentacles around and used a sword to chop vegetables for herself. The three of them caught her at it, one after another.
The master, who usually lay flat and waited to die: "Well, I'm about to die, so whatever... Wait, I can't take it. You have so many hands, and not one of them is holding that sword properly!"
The senior brother, just about to go on a rampage: "Ha ha, I must really be crazy if I'm seeing my junior sister as an octopus monster... Next time you want to eat something, just ask me. You've chopped off hands and left them all over the floor."
The second senior brother, whose dantian was halfway repaired: "Damn, you scared me so badly my pill nearly shattered. Take this bag of spirit stones and go have fun down the mountain. Don't come back to bother me until you've spent it. All those hands make my head spin."
After waiting for ages, Qiansui still hadn't been locked away or used to make pills and artifacts. Instead, someone taught her swordsmanship, cooked for her, and gave her money to spend. Qiansui: "Huh?"

At the auction, Crown Prince Long Qi was locked in a cage, but he wasn't worried in the least. He knew his senior sister would take him away today. She was wonderful in every way, except that she was a monster. In his past life, he'd been disgusted by her and only regretted it after she died. This time, he'd still need her tentacles to make pills and magical artifacts. Once he succeeded in claiming the throne, he'd grant her the title of consort. She would surely be overcome with gratitude.
He eagerly left with Qian He, who had rushed all this way to get him, leaving the dying little slave behind. When Qiansui, whose mind was full of mischief, discovered that the little slave also had dragon blood, she was ecstatic.
[Bonus Scene 1]
Master: "Qiansui is a lovely name. Whoever named you must have had the best wishes for you, hoping you'd live a long, worry-free life."
Qiansui: "No. Those players wanted me dead. They meant I was such a menace I'd live for a thousand years."
Master: "..."
Master: "So be it. I only hope you'll be healthy and happy."
Qiansui: (Looking at the people lying around with their hands and legs severed) "I'm very healthy." (Listening to their despairing wails) "And I'm very happy. Wonderful, I've lived up to your hopes, Master."
Master: "???"
[Bonus Scene 2]
Junior brother: "Qiansui, may I call you A-Sui?"
Qiansui: (Her tentacles flail as she smacks him repeatedly) "No. I like it better when you call me Dad."
