Yan Jing got her hands on a treasure. In this cultivation world, where everyone from the righteous to the wicked, from supporting characters to random passersby, is a major boss, she thought this meant good luck had finally come her way and she had become the protagonist.
She immediately shared the good news with her two roommates.
The three of them huddled together to study the treasure, only to discover that it came with a strange condition:
For every boyfriend she gets, she receives a reward.
Note: The reward level depends on the boyfriend's rating.
A tiny line of text followed: All rights of interpretation belong to xx.
Roommate A immediately urged her, "I've got a top-tier prospect for you: a rising star, a junior brother who's the sect's new hope and pride. He's so handsome that even passing dogs have to take a second look. What do you think?"
She said, "...Didn't you say before that you had your eye on him and wanted to woo him?"
Roommate A said, "That's why this was all meant to be. I was paving the way for you! I've got everything arranged on my end. Just come to class with me, and you can sit beside him. The closer you are, the sooner you'll win him over!"
She: ...Huh?
Roommate B wasn't about to be outdone. "I've got someone too: the gifted darling from the neighboring sect. Handsome, tall, with a straight nose. Want him?"
She said, "The senior brother? ...But aren't you already getting to know him?"
Roommate B picked up her jade token. There was a whoosh, then she set it down and said calmly, "Doesn't matter. I just broke things off with him. Hurry, this is your chance to take advantage of the moment, comfort him, and win him over."
She: ...???
She thanked them for their kindness. "...Actually, I have someone in mind too."
They both said at once, "Then go for all three! Whoever you win over first is the one you keep!"
She politely declined. "That doesn't seem right... Aren't they the people you two were interested in?"
Roommates A and B said in unison, "Don't be shy with your sisters. Once you attain the Dao, you'll bring us along for the ride. What would we need those men for then?"
A week later, three new neighbors arrived.
They stood in a row at the door, each with his own charms, none willing to yield.
"May I ask which one of you is Yan Jing?"
The romance in this story goes: blind date and getting acquainted, flirtation and dates, making it official, then breaking up or getting married.
*Probably a lighthearted, imaginative romp.
