A Sect's Loaned Disciple

A bold, brilliant female cultivator x a frail, saintly white-lotus beauty

Fun fact: To go from a tiny sect in the middle of nowhere to studying at the greatest sect in the world, all you need is one Lu Jialing.

The sect leader of Linghua Sect sold off his exceptionally gifted disciple for just eight dou of spirit stones.

The other side even offered her an incredibly tempting deal:

"You're exceptionally talented. Staying in a tiny sect like this would be a complete waste. You should come to our Yuxiao Palace instead!"

"Choose any master you like, learn any spell you want, pick any magic weapon you please! You'll be second in command, right after the sect leader!"

At first, Lu Jialing didn't think she'd walked straight into a scam.

But when she arrived, she saw none of the promised perks. Instead, she got some terrible news:

"This Star-Exorcising, Soul-Guiding Formation is ready in every respect. All it lacks is a formation core."

"What kind of formation core?"

The elders all fixed their smiles on her.

*

Bai Guiyu, son of the Yuxiao Palace sect leader, was born with an incomplete soul and the look of someone destined to die young. Apart from being handsome, he was good for nothing.

With the elders' help, the Star-Exorcising, Soul-Guiding Formation was used to heal him and prolong his life.

To that end, they even borrowed Lu Jialing, a supposedly brilliant cultivator, from a tiny sect a thousand li away.

Who could have guessed that this once-in-a-thousand-years genius would arrive at Yuxiao Palace and, on her very first day, blow the altar for his life-prolonging ritual to smithereens?

Reader's Guide:

1. The female lead is bold and uninhibited, sees no one as her equal, and loves her freedom. She says what she likes without caring about supporting characters' feelings, and she has no interest in traditional feminine virtues. Don't read if that bothers you.

2. The romance is one-on-one, and the male lead is chaste.

3. The male lead will awaken his own abilities in the middle and later parts of the story. He's neither a prop nor useless, but he won't be stronger than the female lead. Don't read if you insist on a dominant male lead.

Theme: Only by being strong and brave can you create the future.
