The Senior Sister Refuses to Be a Token of Love

Chong Ling had the worst luck imaginable when she transmigrated into a cultivation novel. The real danger wasn't becoming a great villain or a sidekick to the protagonist's group. It was becoming an innocent cannon-fodder character whose dragon tendon would be ripped out by the male lead.

Her dragon tendon would be made into a hair tie and given to the heroine as a token of love.

After the protagonists cleared their names, all it would take was three bows at her grave and a quick apology.

Chong Ling was so furious her teeth itched. Why should she have to pay with her life just because he said he was sorry?

But in the cultivation world, might made right, and everything came down to strength. Whether she liked it or not, she had to put up with it.

So Chong Ling had no choice but to cultivate to avoid her tragic fate, make a living by scavenging junk, and raise the hungry junior disciples in her sect.

She did everything she could to avoid the protagonists, but trouble always found her. The people around her ended up bringing the heroine right to her.

At first, Chong Ling foolishly thought she was getting a great deal. She fleeced the heroine mercilessly, even managing to get her contract of indenture.

When she found out the other girl was the heroine, Chong Ling panicked and tried desperately to get rid of her.

But she couldn't shake her off. She even kept inexplicably falling into the protagonists' plot, playing all sorts of bizarre roles.

Stranger still, the story carried on smoothly even without the male lead.

Somehow, Chong Ling even ended up doing things that were supposed to be the male lead's job. When the heroine was injured, she treated her. When the heroine got drunk, she carried her. When the heroine went to sleep, she tucked her in.

Chong Ling: Since when did I become the heroine's nanny?

As time went by, the heroine started looking at her differently.

Chong Ling sensed trouble and decided to run away, but she still underestimated the plot. The moment she stepped outside, she fell straight into a demon lair.

The heroine charged in to save her and took down the Demon King's entire stronghold.

Chong Ling realized she couldn't control the plot, so she reluctantly accepted it. After all, there were some perks.

For example, the heroine beat the Demon King so badly that he dropped countless treasures, and everyone around her benefited.

Chong Ling was happy to benefit, too, but some of the things the heroine gave her were a little odd: a worthless tuft of beast fur [Summon the Demon King],

a fingernail [Thunderclap Vajra Claw], a granny's false teeth [Celestial Maiden Flower Hairpin],

and even a supposedly useless cultivation manual called How to Maintain Good Sleep Quality? [Dream Cultivation Method].

Even the so-called spirit bed she could lie on was no more than a bed mat [Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Spring Bed, one only].

Chong Ling, blind to her good fortune: Li Jianwei only gives me useless junk. The stuff I find is better.

Li Jianwei [Ling Bingyun] smiled indulgently. "A Ling, just make do with these for now. I'll find you something better another day."

Junior Brother Chong Ming, who knew the truth: There can't be anything better than these! Sister Li, please keep spoiling our eldest senior sister! Spoil her rotten, and let's see who would dare marry her.

A glint of satisfaction flashed in Li Jianwei's eyes. "A Ling is so lovable. How could anyone not want her?"

If others are too blind to see her worth, then I'll just have to look after her for the rest of her life.

Greedy, sharp-tongued eldest senior sister x gentle, scheming heroine
