Soul Seizure

Xiao Qiu somehow ended up in the Hehuan Sect. She always thought the Hehuan Sect was an orthodox cultivation sect.

Though its cultivation methods seemed a little improper... her master was so beautiful and graceful that she looked like a good person, so Xiao Qiu figured it was probably fine. She stayed for six years.

Only after returning from a training expedition and seeing the orthodox cultivators besiege the Hehuan Sect with her own eyes did she realize she'd probably wandered into an evil sect.

But there was one thing she hadn't gotten wrong: her master really was from an orthodox sect. While undercover in the Hehuan Sect, she had happened to pick Xiao Qiu up and take her to the mountain as her disciple.

Xiao Qiu, forced to become a demoness of an evil sect: "..."

Thanks a lot. Thanks to your ancestors for eight generations.

As a member of the Hehuan Sect, she naturally couldn't escape death. But she didn't quite die. She was reborn as a holy maiden of an ancient kingdom, and gained a fiance of noble status.

She remembered the Hehuan Sect's leader saying to her before she died, "Little girl, I'll give you Soul Seizing."

Soul Seizing is the foremost forbidden technique in the world. In a single breath, it can strike straight at a cultivator's spiritual platform.

An extraordinary constitution combined with a miraculous secret art: a peak start, with every buff maxed out.

Xiao Qiu excitedly kicked her chubby little legs, shaped like lotus roots. Heaven is fair. I was cannon fodder in my last life, so in this life I'm definitely the protagonist!!!

-

The heroine steadily levels up, the hero brings death upon himself while pursuing his wife, and the second male lead gets his comeuppance.

A sweet heroine with the heart of a mature woman vs. a cocky, tsundere, cool-guy hero.

P.S. 1. Not a strong female lead. She grows over time and is weak at the start. 2. There is always someone stronger. Neither the hero nor heroine is the strongest, but both are outstanding among their peers. 3. Many original settings. 4. Updates follow the rankings.

The real one-sentence summary: Probably a story about young people striving and searching for treasure?

Theme: Righteousness will prevail over evil
