Trapped in a Tragic Xianxia Novel, I Can Boost My Spiritual Power by Spending Money

Huo Xiu always thought she'd transmigrated into a historical romance novel. For a while, she even believed she was devastatingly beautiful, had poor morals, and was probably a villainess destined to do evil and die without a body left behind.

To protect herself, she used advanced agricultural knowledge to develop farming in the area. After struggling for years, she'd become the empire's richest person, cultivated connections with powerful nobles everywhere, and even made the empress her adoptive mother. Just as she was beginning to feel safe, the male and female leads finally showed up...

Flying swords filled the sky. All kinds of bizarre, ferocious ghosts and monsters appeared.

Cultivation, immortals and chivalry, demons, monsters, ghosts, and even the underworld?

Only later did she learn that trouble here meant an entire family being wiped out, or a whole city destroyed. A Great Ascension cultivator could wipe out a small kingdom with a wave of the hand. The male leads, female leads, and supporting characters were all Demon Lords, Immortal Lords, or sect prodigies, locked in feuds that lasted three lifetimes and three lives. Old, are you?

And the book's ending had everyone getting a bad ending, with the world nearly destroyed.

Huo Xiu, rich enough to rival a country but completely useless in this situation: ???

Luckily, Huo Xiu suffered a concussion while trying to hang herself and awakened the Heavenly Book Merit System: whenever she spent money to earn merit, she could directly increase her spiritual power.

Huo Xiu got right back up, put away the rope, and prepared to become the leader of the Three Paths, hanging up and taming the male and female leads, their supporting characters, and every other unhinged character. Her specialty was playing the almighty, hell-raising head teacher.

The Heavenly Book Merit System: If you beat them up, you can't beat me up, okay?

Theme: The most unhinged protagonist goes all out and takes everyone down.
