Does the World's Number One Need Four Dao Companions?

[Next Novel Preview: Hey, Where Did You Get That Harem-Protagonist Script? The blurb is at the very bottom] [In the early chapters, roughly the first thirty, terms such as "master" and "youth" differ from how they are used later. They will be revised after the novel is completed.] [The first two volumes follow the heroine's cultivation journey, with romance taking up a smaller share. The third volume focuses on developing relationships, and the fourth is the author's personal-preference extravaganza. Current status: the official wife is second in line; the first man is brooding and bitter about being the third; the second man has accepted his place as the third; the third is a cheerful third wheel; and the fourth is kept as a pet. They all have bright futures.] ------------ Divider ------------ Shen Qiu transmigrates into a cultivation game and has to become the greatest under heaven before she can go home. Shen Qiu looks at her body, whose spiritual roots are half-ruined, and weeps at her helplessness. To become the greatest under heaven, you need extraordinary talent. To repair her spiritual roots, Shen Qiu investigates the truth behind her birth parents' deaths, only to be captured by the mastermind and left on the brink of death. To become the greatest under heaven, you need a powerful master to back you up. Shen Qiu joins the greatest sword cultivator under heaven as a disciple, only to learn from the System, whose voice is unusually subdued, that her new master is already at death's door. To become the greatest under heaven, you need a weapon that can slice through iron like mud. Shen Qiu finds a rare innate spirit sword, only to discover that the sword spirit inside is about to self-destruct, while an evil god watches hungrily nearby. Shen Qiu: . Fury surges through her. She fights as if she doesn't care whether she lives or dies, and after finally overcoming countless trials, she earns her ticket to becoming the greatest under heaven! Everything is looking up, but the System has to leave for a while. Shen Qiu assures it, "Go ahead. I'll be fine." But when the System returns, Shen Qiu stands bathed in light atop the towering Ask-the-Immortals Steps, listening as disciples bow their heads and worship her: "Long live the Immortal Lord! Long, long live the Immortal Lord!" System: ...? What happened here? Shen Qiu puts her hands on her hips. "Because becoming the greatest under heaven also requires a little prestige!" - The System returns and regretfully announces that Shen Qiu's transmigration was an accident. This world's collapse is irreversible, but to make up for it, the System is willing to make an exception and send Shen Qiu home. Shen Qiu shakes her head and looks at the radiant people around her, her gaze resolute. "There may be many things the greatest under heaven needs, but all I need is my mother, my friends, and a few lovers." "I'm not leaving." System: ... Shen Qiu: What, you don't think so? The System complains, "But you clearly have four lovers!" --[Official Blurb]-- Becoming the greatest under heaven is actually pretty simple. Shen Qiu uses her experience from the game to overcome one challenge after another, only to get caught up in a storyline the game never mentioned: An evil god enters the world, the mysteries of the White Night, the Human Emperor's power grab, the Sword Pavilion's destruction... The demon says he is no demon, and the gods say He has already perished. The fates of countless NPCs in the game change, but the one who laughs last is no longer there. At long last, Shen Qiu finally understands the truth behind her transmigration. Amid rolling thunderclouds, her clothes whipping in the wind, she faces the "True God": "It's come to this, so there's no point saying more. Sword, come!" * [A heroine transmigrates into a cultivation world and saves the world while finding time for a little romance] [No picking favorites, because she wants them all] 1. A young swordsman whose mouth is harder than his head. He seems aloof and tsundere, but beneath that tough exterior, he's soft and tender. 2. A beautiful, physically frail troublemaker who loves watching the chaos unfold. Beneath his fragile pride lies a sensitive, insecure heart. 3. An innocent, naturally clueless demon king, both pure and seductive. He sneaks into the heroine's room in the middle of the night just so she'll touch his horns. 4. A possessive, brooding senior brother with a second, gentle and taciturn personality. His calm restraint is just a front; beneath it, he's a lustful, scheming flirt. Reader's Notes: 1. BG romance, male leads are virgins, and there's no choosing between love interests. 2. A hot-tempered, foul-mouthed heroine transmigrates and cultivates. The novel leans toward an ensemble cast, and the romance has already begun. 3. Everyone loves the heroine, regardless of gender or type of relationship. 4. Every male love interest is hopelessly romantic. They fight and compete for her, and are forced to tolerate one another, so there will be love interests who act as third parties and the heroine really does cheat. If that bothers you, please don't read. --Hey, Where Did You Get That Harem-Protagonist Script?-- Shen Zhiyu dies with a single glance and is chosen by the System to play the villain's beloved in a cultivation novel. She has to humble herself and please him, then die for him, so that the villain, who will become the Demon Venerable, regrets it too late. Before she can agree, the System seems unstable and has to step away for a while. Before leaving, it points to a young man who has just been thrown into the slave pit. They haven't even managed to strip the gold-threaded belt from his waist. [Your soul is unstable. You can only stay alive by maintaining physical contact with him. Understand?] Shen Zhiyu obediently nods and watches the System leave. Then she finds a packet of aphrodisiac and pours it into the villain's mouth that very night. Some time later, the System returns to find Shen Zhiyu seated on the supreme throne, with demons bowing before her and all demonkind singing her praises. Her harem is a complete mess. Several male guests hurl insults at one another and fiercely vie for her favor. The System is dumbfounded, unable to figure out where things went wrong. * After the System leaves, Shen Zhiyu discovers two secrets: First, getting intimate with the villain not only stabilizes her soul, it also raises her cultivation a little. Second, the method seems to work on people besides the villain... 1. BG romance. Everyone is drawn to the heroine. 2. All male characters are virgins; the heroine is not. 3. The heroine doesn't have much of a conscience and really does kill people. If that bothers you, please don't read. Theme: People are the sum of all their social relationships.
