The Sword Cultivator Who Only Took the Bargain

Xia Jinnian escaped from the pleasure house and, hoping to get something for nothing, followed the guidance of the sword spirit from her dreams. By chance, she came into contact with cultivators. “If I get the chance to try, why not?” After plenty of maneuvering, she entered the cultivation world. She hit it off with a senior sister who had her own agenda, and pulled strings to become a menial disciple. Guided by the sword spirit in her dreams, she practiced while sweeping floors, becoming a half-baked sword cultivator. When her one-year term ended, she won the championship and was promoted straight to personal disciple. A sure-fire overpowered protagonist's script, at the peak from the start. Transferred to a new peak, she ran straight into someone jade-like features, graceful as an immortal. Was this the sect's reward? Damn it. Why was it the enemy who used to dock her allowance? Now that he was her senior brother, he was even worse: keeping tabs on her, punishing her, lecturing her. “Could you please stop being so responsible?” Exhausted, she gritted her teeth and broke the sect's rules, only to be “severely” punished again. Before she knew it, he had worked his way into every corner of her life, even the parts no one was supposed to see bore traces of him. “Why is it you in this position? Why does it have to be you, the one who's always been against me?” “Because I'm your senior brother.” Absurd. He had more junior sisters than just her, and she had more senior brothers than just him. Yet no one else went this far. A cool-headed, practical, young baddie of a heroine vs. a gentle, aloof hero
