[The main story is complete. The extra chapters will be given away as bonus content. My next novel starts updating this week: a fake farming story about a Demon Lord cultivating immortality in an immortal sect, titled My Master's Pockets Are So Shamefully Empty. The blurb is at the bottom. Please add it to your wish list.]
*The heroine is a heartthrob, and the entire novel exists to make her shine!
A super-genius heroine. There is a CP, but the male lead is just window dressing, and the romance is not a major part of the story.
*
As someone who transmigrated into a book, Shen Xuanning had three great advantages that let her show off in the cultivation world.
The best talent, the best luck, and the best god's-eye view, with the entire plot at her fingertips.
She could pick up power-ups just by taking a few steps. Wasn't this System making sure she could cultivate properly in a cultivation novel?
And so, at sixteen, Shen Xuanning became the youngest Golden Core cultivator in the history of the cultivation world, full of confidence and ambition.
She stole the show at the Immortal Sects' Assembly. With cultivation far beyond her peers and the original novel's plot in hand, she swept through one dungeon after another alongside the young protagonist group.
Shen Xuanning showed off at every opportunity and pulled off every act. She never got her comeuppance.
System missions? Changing history? Defeating a puny Demon Lord? She played innocent and clever, breezing through everything as if it were effortless.
And then, as history repeated itself...
The Demon Realm's gates swung open. The immortal sects fell, and life was laid to waste.
Standing at the beginning of the story, Shen Xuanning finally discovered the greatest secret after piecing everything together.
**
Once, when they had some time to kill, someone asked Shen Xuanning what kind of person she liked.
She pondered for a long time before answering, "Someone handsome and gentle, who can wash his hands and make me a good meal."
Xie Shuyan was gentle and considerate, breathtakingly handsome and refined. He smiled warmly at her and said, "What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you."
He really was exactly Shen Xuanning's type. Change a single thing, even slightly, and he wouldn't be the person she liked.
Shen Xuanning thought it over, then asked with a completely serious look, "Xiao Xie, would you like to become my cultivation partner?"
Xie Shuyan's voice trembled almost imperceptibly, as if he'd been waiting for this for a long time. "Yes."
CP: The strongest sword cultivator, a brilliant but shameless heroine x a beautiful, kindhearted male lead who is her white moonlight.
■ A traditional cultivation progression story with an invincible heroine, satisfying wish fulfillment, and a large ensemble of sects.
■ The protagonist group are the chosen talents of their respective sects. Rivals and best friends, these spirited youths wield their swords together against powerful enemies.
■ The heroine's talent surpasses all the other prodigies. She is the strongest, and there are no plotlines where the men are stronger than the women.
Cultivation realms: Body Tempering → Qi Refining → Foundation Establishment → Golden Core → Nascent Soul → Deity Transformation → Infant Transformation → Void Refinement → Mahayana → Ascension to Immortality

My Master's Pockets Are So Shamefully Empty
Ming Yuan, the Demon Lord, spent her whole life pushing herself to the limit. After failing her tribulation, she was killed by a baffling beam of golden light.
The good news: She was reborn and could keep pushing herself.
The bad news: She was reborn in an immortal sect, on enemy territory.
As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you can win every battle. Ming Yuan figured that since she was already here, she might as well start cultivating from scratch and learn the immortal sect's techniques while she was at it.
But the people in the immortal sect weren't nearly as reliable as she'd imagined...
The Artifact Refining Sect changed its name and opened a general store in the mortal world. Their motto was to bring technology to the masses, selling all sorts of strange little magical devices: household demon-revealing mirrors, self-cleaning brooms, image-recording stones, laundry talismans that clean with one application...
The Profound Heaven Sect sold all kinds of spirit talismans that were excellent for warding off evil and preventing ghostly encounters. The disciples of the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion put their specialized skills to work as information brokers, and occasionally set up by the roadside to tell fortunes for spirit stones.
The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, meanwhile, spent every day hiding their faces and reselling little animals at the flower and bird market.
Only the Hehuan Sect didn't hide who they were. They'd wave a handkerchief at her as she passed. "Young hero, come have some fun!"
Weren't the immortal sects supposed to be aloof and righteous? So much for being pure of heart and free of worldly ties.
Was there even one place here where people studied magic properly?!
Her master said there was, then brought out the cultivation manuals she'd collected over a lifetime for her little disciple to study.
Ming Yuan read the first few lines. Interesting.
She read a couple more, and got into it.
She turned the page, and... that was it? There was nothing else?
Her master explained, rather embarrassed, "The immortal sects charge an arm and a leg for their techniques. I've been saving up spirit stones for ages, and could only afford this one page..."
Ming Yuan: "..."
*
To earn a few spirit stones and buy those overpriced manuals from the rotten immortal sects, the Demon Lord swallowed her pride and took up farming and odd jobs that involved beating people up.
And so...
The Profound Heaven Sect: "Who the hell is mass-printing our evil-repelling talismans?!"
The Beast Taming Sect: "Which wretch is making such an awful beast-taming call?! Hey! Put my rabbit down!"
The Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion: "Firsthand information, ten thousand low-grade spirit stones. No age discrimination, no refunds if you get swindled."
The Hehuan Sect: "Hehe, young hero, come have some fun!"
1. A fake cultivation-and-farming story. CP: A cold-faced, secretly kindhearted Demon Lord who pushes herself to the limit x a beautiful, kindhearted master who loves farming
2. The heroine is the strongest in the whole book. A young genius who pushes herself wherever she goes. No pretending to be weak to lure out the strong; she dishes out face-slapping all the way through, and makes even the slackers work hard.
3. You can cultivate the demonic path and still become an immortal!
