[A spoiled, nouveau riche slacker transmigrates into a book as the Demon Venerable x a sweet-talking junior sister bound to a conquest System]
Luo Ciyan, a happy-go-lucky slacker, pursues her crush for half a month, only to learn that she's straight. After being rejected, Luo Ciyan transmigrates into the cultivation world as its Demon Venerable.
The Demon Venerable has fair skin, stunning looks, profound cultivation, a fortune to her name, and countless devoted followers.
Luo Ciyan: How is this any different from finding five million yuan!
Having risen to the top in another world, the first thing Luo Ciyan does after hitting it big is
forget where she came from.
Luo Ciyan enjoys a happy life of lavish spending and cozying up to countless beautiful female demon cultivators, but she notices that one disciple of an immortal sect keeps showing up around her, making excuses to get close.
Oh, another girl with a crush on me, Luo Ciyan thinks.
After all, she's a winner in life now.
Luo Ciyan waves her over, thinking she might as well bring the girl into the Demon Palace to serve her.
Then she realizes the girl looks exactly like the straight girl she used to crush on.
Luo Ciyan: I'll have to pass. I can have any kind of woman I want now. I'm not about to become someone's pathetic little lapdog.
Qi Yuewei, the Yunqing Sect Master's personal disciple and the beacon of the righteous path, gets bound to a strange System.
It tells her that a restriction lies within her, preventing her from advancing her cultivation for the rest of her life, unless...
Unless she goes to the Demon Venerable Luo Ciyan, gets close to her, earns her trust, and makes her fall in love.
Qi Yuewei has always despised using her looks to get what she wants, and consorting with that demon is simply unbecoming.
But breaking through is of the utmost importance, and the fate of her sect is at stake. Reluctantly, Qi Yuewei decides to give it a try.
Who could have guessed that Luo Ciyan would be such a flirt, surrounded by countless beauties and entangled in ambiguous relationships with several senior sisters from the sect, yet lose all her cheer whenever Qi Yuewei appeared?
After repeatedly hitting a wall with Luo Ciyan, Qi Yuewei thinks perhaps fate cannot be defied.
She is about to give up and leave when Luo Ciyan, drunk, tugs at her sleeve and whines, refusing to let her go.
Qi Yuewei finds it rather amusing. By day, Luo Ciyan barely gives her the time of day; at night, she clings to her like a child.
She leans closer and hears Luo Ciyan mumble through a slight sob, "You don't even like me, so why do you keep coming after me?"
Only then does Qi Yuewei learn that Luo Ciyan already has someone she likes.
And that person must look very much like her.
Qi Yuewei scoffs. How could someone as proud as she be content to serve as a replacement?
Yet not long afterward, her eyes grow red with tears:
"You welcome so many people, from the immortal path to the demonic path. Why am I the only one you won't accept?"
"Would this make me more like her? Could you... love me a little more?"
