In the seventeen years before she transmigrated, Yan Xianyue's life dictionary had only one word: miserable.
She was bullied and never had enough to eat.
Her spiritual root was crippled, forcing her to leave her sect.
Her soul sword broke, and her cultivation plummeted.
She thought she'd spend the rest of her life in a daze, until she met a wish-granting tortoise on her eighteenth birthday.
Not enough to eat? Free Manchu-Han banquet, eat as much as you want.
Spiritual root crippled? Free Heavenly Fragrance Bone Renewal, use as much as you want.
Soul sword broken? Free heavenly-grade spirit swords, take your pick.
With the wish-granting tortoise at her side, Yan Xianyue can get whatever she wants. Her cultivation skyrockets, and she quickly becomes a dazzling prodigy of Flying Snow Palace, just one step away from the Mahayana stage.
The catch is that she has to team up with her Dao companion, with whom she shares a spiritual connection, and pass through the Water Moon Mirror.
Yan Xianyue, who has been single for eighteen years, isn't worried at all.
After all, with the tortoise in hand, how hard could it be to find someone suitable to form a bond with?
She could easily pick a hundred or eighty male models over six feet tall with eight-pack abs!
Yan Xianyue, whipping out the tortoise and making a wish: Ahem, send me some male models!
The next moment...
A man's voice comes from inside the tortoise shell, cold with anger.
"Am I not enough for you? You want to bond with other male demons too?"
Yan Xianyue, shocked, flinging the tortoise two yards away: I must be seeing things. Tortoises get jealous now?

Demon Venerable Bian Zhanxing's cultivation is unfathomably deep. He's ruthless and brutal, and once barged into the world's top sect alone, slaughtered the entire sect, and left unscathed.
After entering seclusion, his consciousness entered a transparent space, where something calling itself the "Wish System" bound itself to him.
Bian Zhanxing: "You're saying that if I grant her wishes, my cultivation will increase too?"
System: "That's right! If she reaches the Mahayana stage, you can kill her and ascend straight to immortality!"
Bian Zhanxing values cultivation above all else. He gives her the finest cultivation treasures, all so he can wait for the day she reaches the pinnacle.
But when that day finally arrives, he sees her lively, petite figure waving and running toward him...
All he can hear is the wild, erratic pounding of his own heart.

Little scene:
Yan Xianyue's inner thoughts: Sigh, when will I find the right alchemy furnace for myself...
Looking at the semi-transparent screen before him, with an alchemy furnace priced at ten thousand high-grade spirit jades, Bian Zhanxing calmly moves the quantity up to 999.
The next second, Yan Xianyue stares blankly at the mountain of alchemy furnaces.
"I was just making an offhand comment! I wasn't making a wish! And didn't you say alchemy furnaces were expensive?!"
Bian Zhanxing answers expressionlessly: "I have too much money and can't spend it all. I just bought a few."
Reader's guide:
1. Cheerful, optimistic, sect good-for-nothing Yan Xianyue x gloomy, obsessive, love-struck Demonic Cult Master Bian Zhanxing. Happy ending, one-on-one.
2. The male lead won't show his true form to the heroine in the early chapters.
3. The male lead doesn't have much of a moral compass and is the type who thinks only of himself, but the heroine will change him later on.
4. The heroine is naturally optimistic, like a little sunshine. Even in adversity, she keeps a positive attitude.
5. Blurb captured on September 24, 2023.
