I Won the Sect by Hiding My True Strength

--

Ling Yue, the gifted senior disciple of Xianling Sect, the greatest immortal sect under heaven, is just one step away from ascension. Then, with a sudden thrust, she dies by the sword of the master she revered most, and becomes a demoness reviled by all.

Reborn, she decides to live differently.

She hides her strength, keeps her distance, and swears to avenge her clan's destruction.

Her fellow disciples act respectful to her face but mock her as a good-for-nothing behind her back. Her master watches coldly, eager to get rid of her. Her nemesis barely gives her the time of day.

She ignores them all, secretly training like mad, fighting monsters, leveling up, and leaving her fellow disciples in the dust.

To get rid of her, her master sends her to the Kingdom of Tianque to exterminate demons.

She takes the opportunity to fake her death and investigate the truth behind her clan's destruction, only to find herself pursued by the kingdom's aloof, dignified crown prince, who has a body that attracts demons.

By a riverside outside the city, under the hazy moonlight, Zhou Rongjing stands tall and elegant, looking innocent. "You were the one who dragged me along. You have to take responsibility for me."

Ling Yue: "..." She is short on money anyway. She might as well keep him as a walking purse.

From the first time Zhou Rongjing saw Ling Yue, he inexplicably wanted to go with her. And that's exactly what he did.

At first, he only meant to use her. But little by little, he gave her his heart.

She was calm and collected, with the world in her heart. She wasn't afraid of his strange powers or his background, nor did she look down on him. Instead, she always thought of his well-being.

Only later did he learn that the overwhelming feeling came from a love he could not attain in his previous life.

After overcoming countless hardships and returning, Ling Yue finally realizes that her enemy has been right by her side all along.

In a life-or-death battle with him, Ling Yue successfully ascends, becoming the first Dao Lord in five hundred years.

On the eve of the great battle, the disciples of Xianling Sect head down the mountain to gain experience.

When they return, the senior sister they had always looked down on has become a Dao Lord. The disciples can hardly believe it. "What did you say? Ling Yue is the newly ascended Dao Lord? Isn't she... isn't she a little good-for-nothing?"

Ling Yue ignores their searching gazes and walks away with Zhou Rongjing, laughing as they go.

The disciples rub their eyes, convinced they must be having a nightmare!
