Yun Kai transmigrates into a xianxia romance novel full of heartbreak. The System tells her she must play a vicious young heiress, repeatedly court disaster, and collect malice points. Once she reaches the death ending, she can return to her original world and come back to life.
Yun Kai looks perplexed. "So you're saying I'm rich and beautiful, and all I have to do is bully the heroine, steal the male lead, abuse the villain, and spend my days causing trouble and courting death to complete the mission?"
System: "...That's right."
She is overjoyed. She hasn't played the part of a domineering, spoiled heiress in years.
*
To collect malice points, Yun Kai throws herself into antagonizing other people.
Until she discovers that the kind and upright members of the righteous sects are very tolerant of her, earning her only a meager number of points.
But petty, jealous scoundrels, wicked cultivators, and demonic cultivators bring in a fortune.
Yun Kai looks at the pitiful, saintly heroine she has gone to great lengths to torment, and sees that she only brings in a paltry reward: ...
She sharpens her blade, eager for action. "Slaying demons and vanquishing evil to defend the righteous path is my duty!"
The villains she's burned, smashed, robbed, and looted: What kind of righteous cultivator are you, anyway?

The System's idea of doing evil: Play a delicate, spoiled, scheming white lotus, frame the heroine, pursue the male lead, abuse the villain, and ultimately die in disgrace with a terrible reputation.
What actually happens: Challenge minor villains every day, do good deeds across the cultivation world, become a fully automated villain-destruction machine, clash with young geniuses, foil the demon clan's schemes, and somehow become the leader of the righteous path without any convoluted twists.
It looks at the chaotic mess, then at Yun Kai, who has exceeded her mission requirements.
System: "...Well, it looks like she's definitely going to become the leader of the righteous path."
