When Senior Brother Is Sacrificed to Heaven, Junior Sister Ascends

Shu Youyou transmigrated into an old-school xianxia novel as the vicious junior sister: jealous, ruthless, and the very definition of "beautiful, strong, and hateful."

Luckily, she could devote herself to cultivation and had a chance of ascending one day.

In the original novel, all four of her senior brothers were hopeless romantics. Their love affairs drove a wedge through their sect and ultimately brought disaster upon the entire cultivation world.

The eldest senior brother stole a divine artifact to give to someone and got beaten so badly he couldn't fight back.

The second senior brother eloped with a member of another race, angering his doting master to death.

The third and fourth senior brothers started fighting over the same demon.

Shen Mian: Hopeless romantics are just bored. Get back to tightening screws!

And so...

When the eldest senior brother took a divine artifact to win over a beauty, he found he couldn't even set foot in her chambers.

Shu Youyou sighed. "I saw lots of people calling Lady Wen 'baby' that day. She said she'd change, but it turns out what she changed was the barrier password."

Eldest senior brother: ?

When the second senior brother tried to elope with his lover, he found the letters his master had intercepted before he could pack.

Shu Youyou smiled. "Why does Lady Lin get your name wrong in every letter? But it's fine, senior brother can change his name."

Second senior brother: ??

When the third and fourth senior brothers faced off in a fury and asked which one the junior sister supported...

Shu Youyou brought over a sack. "Keep fighting. I'll inherit the gear you drop when you die, okay?"

Senior brothers: ???

Before long, it seemed Shu Youyou had cured everyone of their brainless, love-addled ways.

Every sect in the cultivation world began chanting slogans each day, determined to focus on their careers.

So how about rewarding her with ascension?

*

The sect brought back a handsome junior brother, and Shu Youyou had gained a new generation beneath her.

The moment she heard his name, alarm bells rang in her head.

Wasn't this He Qi, the darkened villain from the original story, who destroyed all three realms single-handedly in an attempt to win the person he loved?

He was an even greater hopeless romantic than those senior brothers.

But now he gazed at her pitifully every day,

begging her to look his way, just once.

Shu Youyou coldly drove him away. "Loving me won't get you anywhere. I'm a bad person."

He Qi carefully climbed onto the bed

and patted the space beside him.

His eyes were clear and bright. "Then let's see just how bad Senior Sister can be."

Shu Youyou: "..."

1. The senior brothers are all attracted to terrible people; the male lead only pretends to be a hopeless romantic.
