A Heavenly Court Secretary's Guide to Self-Cultivation [Journey to the West]

As secretary-general of the Heavenly Court's Secretariat and chief designer of the Journey to the West project, Si Xuan kept her merits and fame hidden for years.

Patriarch Bodhi? She found him.

Taibai Jinxing? She arranged it.

The three disciples? She personally groomed them.

The route for subduing demons? She directed and planned it herself.

Fame and profit? She wanted neither.

Merit? She cast it aside like so much dirt.

Once, Taibai Jinxing asked Si Xuan what the secret was to becoming a successful secretary. She only smiled and didn't answer. It took him many twists and turns to finally understand:

A successful secretary must be able to grasp the directives and arrangements of the Great Dao's senior leadership at once, fully carry out the strategic plans of the Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao, rigorously uphold the laws of heaven, prevent improper conduct such as immortals descending to pursue romance, becoming demons, or eating people, and efficiently coordinate the various departments of the Heavenly Court to keep projects advancing smoothly and sustainably.

Si Xuan? She really could do it all!

The female lead is max-level from the start and exceptionally capable: secretary-general of the Heavenly Court's Secretariat, the Heavenly Court's ace writer, a key member of its publicity team, and a veteran executor of major projects.

Not a Primordial Chaos story. Original worldbuilding. The original settings of the various myths and classic novels are respected, with changes made to ensure logical consistency.

Combines Investiture of the Gods, Journey to the West, and other classic novels with traditional Chinese mythological and immortal lore.

Inspired by Black Myth.

Unless something unexpected happens, the male lead will be Sect Master Tongtian.

Their relationship is a love-hate dynamic. The female lead cares only about her Dao (her official position), that is, and readers who easily feel sorry for the male lead should beware.

Not a long story. Updates are irregular. Not abandoned.

Premise: Get promoted, get a raise, and build a bright future.
