After I Transmigrate into a Book, the Demon Venerable Only Wants to Get Rich

Sheng Yaoqing transmigrates into the body of a major villainess, born into a prestigious righteous sect but destined to have her spiritual roots and meridians crippled and be expelled from the sect for envying and framing the heroine. Later, the villainess becomes the fearsome and utterly wicked Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, only to die in the end with her soul shattered after enduring scorching lightning and fire and the agony of a thousand cuts. To stay alive, Sheng Yaoqing decides to lie low and be a good-for-nothing, steering clear of the male and female leads. Who would have thought that she, the mighty Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, would nearly be unable to afford a single meal with meat? After looking into it, she learns that the Demon Realm is so poor they can’t even afford a full meal, and everyone is dressed in rags. What’s more, they’re all pretty faces with nothing to show for it, since they have no cultivation resources at all. She wants to laze around, but there’s no food, her people are all useless eye candy, and she has to worry constantly about their safety. Sheng Yaoqing is at her wit’s end! So she rises to the challenge! She leads the demon folk in opening restaurants and launching demon courier and ride-hailing businesses. She starts a tabloid that sets trends and spreads gossip across the Three Realms, and even gets into the arts, staging the cultivation world’s most crowd-pleasing love triangle. Her strength draws envy, and cultivators keep coming to pick fights. She drives them all away with a single demon blade and even manages to collect a few fees along the way. As she leads the people of the Demon Realm on the road to prosperity, she suddenly realizes that she has become the richest person in the Three Realms. As for those who hurt her in the past, she just laughs it off. Who needs them when she has her loyal hound, who also happens to be the most handsome man in the Three Realms? This is the slightly funny story of a good-for-nothing who’s forced to work hard and become a big shot. The heroine is the original host. Includes a groveling redemption arc, but he’ll never win her back.
