The Paragon of Righteousness Wants Me to Win Him Over

[Scheming sword cultivator x a half-dead, laid-back office girl]

[I'm winning over the light of the righteous path (×) He's the one throwing himself at me (√)]

After working herself to death, Lu Zhimian transmigrates into the body of a villainous disciple in the cultivation world. Gifted with exceptional talent, she spends every day slacking off. The villains can't stand her wasting away like this, so they send her undercover to the Sword Sect on an important mission: win over Xun Xu, the shining light of the righteous path.

Lu Zhimian: I can win him over, but I'm not stopping my slacking.

Under the villains' watchful eyes, Lu Zhimian has no choice but to employ her office-slacking techniques, sticking firmly to an eight-hour workday. Five days on, two days off, no matter the weather. The entire Sword Sect thinks the junior sister is head over heels for the senior brother.

The villains are terribly disappointed and send another disciple to replace her. Lu Zhimian finishes disguising herself and is halfway through making her escape when someone blocks her way.

The golden bell shield becomes a cage. Senior Brother Xun still smiles with gentle elegance. "Junior Sister, see things through to the end."

Lu Zhimian trembles as she looks at her frozen watch.

How come this shining light of the righteous path seems so ruthless?

*

From the very first day Lu Zhimian set foot in the Sword Sect, Xun Xu saw through her identity and her mission. At first, he couldn't care less. But watching an undercover agent who put in even less effort than he did gradually got under his skin.

Turns out, winning someone over was just an excuse for her to enjoy herself. It didn't matter who the target was.

If she won't climb up to him, then he'll descend from his pedestal. That should work, right?

Reading guide:

1. One-on-one, sc, HE. The heroine appears to be forced to win him over, but in reality the hero pursues her.

2. The hero isn't entirely righteous. He's usually gentle and wears a fake smile, and he has a hidden identity.

3. The heroine is jaded, gloomy, and melancholic, with a serious case of office-worker fatigue. She slacks off on the clock and refuses to work 996.
