[Coming soon: Why Is the Villain So Sincere? Please add it to your reading list! Blurb at the very bottom]
One day, after transmigrating, dream-weaver Qiu Li became a cannon-fodder supporting female character in the cultivation world, destined to have her Golden Core ripped out for the male lead.
The good news: she escaped. The world was wide open, and she was free!
The bad news: her Golden Core was gone, and she had been dumped on some nameless mountain to fend for herself :)
To stay alive, Qiu Li joined an obscure little sect and became an utterly unremarkable illusion cultivator.
When the grand tournament between the immortal sects came around, Penglai Immortal Mansion didn't have enough disciples to compete, so they recruited her at the last minute.
At first, everyone thought she was only there to make up the numbers.
"What can an illusion cultivator even do, pull parlor tricks?"
Later...
On a five-meter arena, Qiu Li shaped mountains and scenery, blotting out the sky and trapping her opponent in an illusion.
During the secret-realm trial, her opponents wielded austere, chilling swords to hunt and slay beasts, while Qiu Li carried a gun and cultivated immortality, going rat-a-tat-tat at the monsters.
In the illusion trial, everyone was beset by inner demons and unable to escape their desires. Only Qiu Li could cut down her demons with her sword, rising to become the greatest illusion cultivator in the cultivation world.
Qiu Li made a name for herself in a single battle, and her fame spread far and wide.
By then, the exceptionally gifted Sword Lord had failed to break through his inner-demon illusion. He invited Qiu Li to help him enter a dream and slay the demon.
"Senior Sister Qiu said she likes sincere and earnest people!"
The Sword Lord gritted his teeth, then bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, acting with the utmost devotion. At last, he made it to Qiu Li's door.
There stood the young woman, her sleeves fluttering, her voice cool and distant. "Sword Lord, shouldn't you give my Golden Core back?"

Blurb for Why Is the Villain So Sincere?
Jiang Huaishu cultivated the merciless path for over twenty years before learning she was a supporting female character in a novel.
In the story, the male lead was unruly and defiant, the male supporting characters were scheming and wealthy, and the villain, Su Tinglan, young master of the demon clan, was ruthless and cruel, a real piece of work.
[You are the male lead's brainless follower in the story. You love him deeply and are obsessed with him, but your love goes unrequited. You turn evil and go mad, ultimately disgraced and dead, your cultivation destroyed.]
[You must complete your mission, or you will be erased on the spot.]
When she was bound to the System, the story had just reached the part where she drugged the male lead and tried to spend the night alone with him so she could win his heart.
Jiang Huaishu lay in bed beside the drugged male lead.

Thank you for free (put your hands together)
After reading the story, thank you to the author. Overall, it was pretty good, except that the male protagonist's feelings for the female protagonist were a bit inexplicable at the beginning.
You still have to have the ability to make money hahaha??(???*)
