A Villainess, Yet a Sword Venerable

For her entire life, Jiang Zhou has indulged in wine and women, living without restraint.

Her greatest passion, and the one glimmer of humanity she possesses, is poverty alleviation.

Whether it's a down-and-out disciple hoping to rise through the ranks, a young master from a prominent family who willingly throws himself into her bed, or the cultivation world's number one beauty, who carves out a path with her looks... all of them can receive her angel investment.

Those who volunteer to escape poverty, she accepts without exception.

Those who resist with all their might, she forces into it like a fierce flower taking a man by storm.

In short, everyone who catches her eye must be lifted into her arms and onto her ship.

On the road out of poverty, no one gets left behind. Thousands upon thousands gather to form a sea.

After escaping poverty, every one of them becomes a vinegar factory director, demanding policy support and preferential access to resources.

But Jiang Zhou is a seasoned professional in poverty alleviation. How could she play favorites?

She has only one goal: to help more people escape poverty, and get more people aboard the giant ship to riches.

Years later, when The Sword Sovereign's Daily Records documented Jiang Zhou's inner journey, it inadvertently revealed a few words from her heart.

“As the Sword Sovereign, it is only right that I help others and spend my wealth generously.”

“After lending a hand, taking a little something in return isn't unreasonable. They never refused.”

“Now that I'm the Sword Sovereign, can't I enjoy the company of a few more men?”

“What fun is there in being the Sword Sovereign if I can't do that!”
