The Evil Cultivator Refuses to Be Love-Brained

In her previous life, Luo Shisheng was a naturally gifted folk Taoist.

After she died and was reborn, she was lucky enough to be born into a cultivation world, the cherished little daughter of a wealthy mortal family.

Unfortunately, she was born with mortal bones that severed her fate with the Dao. It wasn't that the path to immortality was merely out of reach for her. It had absolutely nothing to do with her.

Fortunately, the sweet life she enjoyed softened Luo Shisheng's gloomy, unruly nature and made her more open-minded. She didn't feel all that sorry about having to live an ordinary life this time around.

That was, until one night, when the Luo family and the entire prefectural city were turned into hell amid the flames.

It was a man-made calamity.

The System, which arrived late, told Luo Shisheng that she had transmigrated into the female lead of a tragic xianxia romance. The book's opening made it clear that she was an orphan whose family had been destroyed. Amid her life of hardship and displacement, she was supposed to meet the male lead, Shen Xiao, a brilliant and promising leader of an immortal sect.

Moved by her loneliness and helplessness, Shen Xiao would disregard the divide between mortals and immortals, take her back to his sect, and avenge her as a beautiful, frail, and miserable girl.

"Sure, in the book you two go through a whole series of misunderstandings, stand-ins, amnesia, and groveling at the crematorium, all that melodramatic nonsense, I mean, plot, but that doesn't stop you from getting your happily-ever-after!" the System earnestly urged her. "Really, as long as you have Shen Xiao, you don't have to do a thing. He'll avenge you, and he's even willing to share his life with you, a mortal, so you can enjoy immortality together..."

By then, Luo Shisheng had already calmly and madly turned herself into a zombie and entered the path of demonic divinity through forbidden arts. Without changing expression, she demonstrated an on-the-spot, bare-handed skull-opening.

System: ...Aaaah! Help! Somebody save this plot that's gone completely off the rails! If this keeps up, this little world is going to explode!

Luo Shisheng: To hell with the plot.

The Fox Demon Is Good at Keeping People Single

Hu Li has a very strong capacity for self-delusion.

So she quickly accepted the reality that after dying, she had transmigrated into a fox with a mysterious, incomplete trading System.

*

Xiao Yuye was the most vicious demon in the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda. Bored, he cut off a piece of himself and sent his separated soul to escape.

Then, by chance, that soul lodged itself in a little fox with a human soul and a fox's body.

The little fox was interesting, so Xiao Yuye went along with her wild imaginings, disguising himself as a System and passing the time by watching her daily struggle to survive in the wild.

*

Hu Li spent some time living the life of a wild fox.

Then she unexpectedly discovered that the world she had transmigrated into was full of demons, monsters, ghosts, and spirits.

And since she was a fox who could cultivate into a spirit, Hu Li cheerfully and optimistically rebuilt her entire worldview.

*

Xiao Yuye realized he had fallen for the little fox.

While lamenting that one wrong step could ruin you forever, he honestly told her who he was.

To placate her, he acted cute, pouted, and played the pitiful one. He even promised to find a way to send her home.

Xiao Yuye: A gentleman's word is as good as gold.

Besides, he could go home with the little fox. (Grin.)

*

Time flew by. By the time Hu Li finally cultivated a human form, she unexpectedly ran into someone else who had transmigrated from her world. That's when she learned that she had transmigrated into an old-fashioned, tragic romance about love between demons and mortals.

In the novel, she was the villainess who went from being the male leads' beloved white moonlight to the speck of rice stuck to their bowls.

Hu Li: Oh, wow!

Xiao Yuye: Oh, wow!

#Hu Li always thought Xiao Yuye was a rabbit demon, and that their romance would be a girl-on-boy dynamic. Turns out the jerk was actually a Hou, yes, the legendary beast said to be able to fight three dragons and two jiaos all by itself...#

Theme: The one who overcomes others is strong; the one who overcomes themself is mighty.
