[Told from the heroine's perspective]
Cocky, mystical goofball x scheming, money-loving overachiever
When Fang Yibai went to Sword Mountain to choose her life-bound sword, she was unlucky enough to get stuck with a piece of junk metal. Somehow, this piece of junk had even developed a sword spirit.
The sword spirit said mysteriously, "Are you looking for me, your golden finger, or some other silver finger or iron finger?"
Looking at the rust on the blade, he fell silent. It probably needed a bit of toilet paper to wipe it clean.
After that, the sword spirit kept making things up. "My name is Shaowei. I am an ancient god, capable of anything. Now that I have awakened once more, I will be able to rule the entire cultivation world once my divine powers are restored. So I need some spirit stones. Since you're young, I'll only ask you to hand over fifty thousand spirit stones to help me recover my power. Then I shall grant you an unrivaled cultivation technique..."
"Hey! You don't believe me? I can tell from your face that you're destined for romance, with a harem of three thousand..."
Fang Yibai glanced at the markings of her Heartless Dao and pointed her sword straight at the spirit.
Shaowei wasn't afraid. Instead, he comforted her. "Oh? You've gone astray and cultivated the Heartless Dao? You're lucky to have met me. I can help you discard your cultivation and start over."
Fang Yibai calmly wiped the black soot she'd gotten on her forehead.
She wasn't a healing cultivator. She couldn't cure brain damage, so she wanted to leave.
But she couldn't get away.
From then on, Fang Yibai's cultivation life was turned upside down.
A free life-bound sword really is the most expensive kind.
Some fellow cultivator: Fellow Daoist Fang, your sword spirit ran down the mountain, set up a fortune-telling stall to swindle people out of spirit stones, and got arrested!
Some villain: You brat! You killed him! And now you're blaming the sword spirit? What would a little sword spirit like her know?!
Some heavenly law: She's still young, just a child who's only tens of thousands of years old. Why pick on a child?
Fang Yibai: Genuine sword for sale, no regard for cost, only 999 spirit stones, urgent sale!
Reading guide:
1. The silly and sweet heroine is also known as a natural-born schemer.
2. The heroine's strength is Schrodinger's strength. She considers herself the best in the world, though she'll change her mind if you offer enough.
3. The ancient gods are my own interpretation.
4. The male lead does not have a harem of three thousand. He's emotionally and physically untouched!!
Theme: Cultivate happily, and your magic power will know no bounds!
