Xie Qionghua transmigrated into the cultivation romance novel she had just read.
This was a tragic xianxia romance, and none of the three main male leads in the original story were any good.
The senior disciple who was a spy for the Demon Prince, the master who was an Immortal Lord from the Immortal Realm undergoing a love tribulation in the mortal world, and the little pet of the Demon King from the Monster Realm: They all had extraordinary identities, but they were also all using the heroine for their own ends.
Then, as the genre demanded, they abandoned her, regretted it, went mad, and came back to pursue her.
When Xie Qionghua read the novel, she had thoroughly enjoyed those scenes. That was, until she transmigrated as the heroine.
Xie Qionghua: ...
Thanks, but no thanks. Not interested. I refuse. Stay away from me.
Why bother with romance? Isn't cultivating immortality better?
But the original male leads kept gravitating toward her.
Unwilling to follow the original plot, Xie Qionghua had no choice but to be even more shameless than they were.
She climbed over the undercover senior disciple to get ahead, turned the tables on her master when he tried to manipulate her, and used the Demon King's pet to make pills and strengthen her body with its blood... If someone else had something, she'd get it for herself. If someone else was strong, she'd become even stronger. Xie Qionghua seized every chance to improve herself, and so a shameless cultivation-world workaholic was born.
From an ordinary disciple with mediocre talent to the sect leader, from being stuck at Foundation Establishment for years to ascending in a last-minute sprint, Xie Qionghua always managed to overtake others where they least expected it.
"Shocking! The secret to the fastest ascension in the cultivation world is embezzling public funds!"
"Scandal surrounds the selection of the next sect leader: Candidates collude openly to rig the competition!"
"The human, monster, and demon races go to war. The biggest beneficiary behind it all is actually..."
P.S. The focus is cultivation. The heroine's moral compass is all over the place.
There is very little romance, only a few chapters. The focus is on the heroine's growth.
The ending has no romantic pairing.
