Chang Le, worn down by her 996 work schedule, finally transmigrates, only to get a terrible role: she's become a pig demon!
Everyone else transmigrates with a whole host of genius-level perks, but she gets to be a pig!
Still, contentment brings happiness. She refuses to give up and vows to lead her fellow pigs in growing vegetables and making a fortune.
A genius sword cultivator suddenly arrives in her quiet little mountain village. She gazes at him with sparkling eyes, full of admiration, only to be taken away the next moment and forced to work.
Humans and spirit beasts often enter into humiliating contracts that strip the beasts of their rights. Chang Le watches the pretty-faced sword cultivator beside her warily. She'd rather die than sign one!
Mu Qiudu sees right through her. "Afraid I'll force you to sign a contract? So it'll be a case of you die or I die?"
Chang Le looks up at the sky, then down at the ground, saying nothing.
"Relax, I won't use you as a shield." Mu Qiudu smiles faintly. "We'll forge a life-and-death bond, so you can't run away every time we fight."
Chang Le finds his smile creepy and feels like something's off, but then figures she won't lose anything either.
Later, a huge, sleek tiger charms Chang Le, and she falls for his fluffy, doglike tail.
The tiger demon is warm and straightforward, and keeps bringing Chang Le food. Good heavens, who could turn down someone so kind and handsome?
Mu Qiudu watches it all with a gentle, harmless smile. "We've already formed a bond as cultivation partners, bound to live and die together. Didn't you know?"
Chang Le stares at him, dumbfounded. "But aren't you cultivating the Emotionless Dao?"
"When did I ever say I was cultivating the Emotionless Dao?" Mu Qiudu raises an eyebrow at her.
Chang Le gapes at him and points at his sword. "Isn't that the Emotionless Sword?"
Mu Qiudu shrugs. "Just because it's the Emotionless Sword, does that mean I have to cultivate the Emotionless Dao?"
