Going Headfirst into the Dao of Unfeeling to Hit KPIs … These days, even the Hehuan Sect is too busy earning spirit stones to bother with romance. Everyone is so free of desires they might as well be entering a monastery. During the morning meeting, the Sect Master grieves heartbrokenly over the latest performance data, while the disciples avert their eyes in guilt. "Oh dear, Elder, my back is terrible" "Oh dear, Elder, I'm frail and get low blood sugar easily" First Senior Brother looks left, looks right, and grits his teeth: "My kidneys can't take it!" The Sect Master nearly faints: "You are the absolute worst batch I have ever led!" Third Senior Sister points at you timidly: "Wait, isn't Little Junior Sister still here...?" Everyone turns in unison to look at you—the only one present who hasn't missed the prime age for cultivation. The air seems to freeze. You quietly cover your face with a storybook: "Sect Master, maybe you should just go poach some people from the Dao of Unfeeling..." …… As the junior sister with the highest cultivation potential, the sect places high hopes on you. Resources are yours for the taking; spiritual artifacts and pets are yours to choose at will. But the condition is that you hit your KPI—achieving mastery in the Dao of Yin and Yang. Your senior brothers and sisters gather around you munching on sunflower seeds, talking all at once. In the end, they decide to give you a makeover and send you right into the Heavenly Sword Sect, where practitioners of the Dao of Unfeeling are most abundant! The practitioners of the Dao of Unfeeling in the Sword Sect were utterly ruined by your sect in the past. Whether rising stars or chief disciples, none escaped your sect's clutches. In the most tragic incident, even their sect ancestor was poached away! Now, the Sword Sect guards against your sect as if guarding against thieves. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. They'll never suspect you'd infiltrate their sect directly. First Senior Sister dresses you in a slightly tattered, plain white dress: "The Sect Master has already concealed your sect aura. Remember, you are now a pitiful, helpless girl who survived a disaster and lost her memory. You need to cry like pear blossoms in the rain, got it? Once you hit your KPI, you'll be our next Saintess." First Senior Brother snaps open the 327th edition of the Hehuan Sect's 'Must-Eat List,' compiled overnight: "No one would ever guess that a Supreme Pure Heavenly Spiritual Root came from the Hehuan Sect. Playing weak to catch the big fish—hitting your KPI is just around the corner!" Second Senior Brother hurriedly dumps five years' worth of saved sect specialties into your hands: "Junior Sister, body cultivators work too—they have high physical defense and can take a beating! Give him some, and when he wakes up, give him some more, so you can make up for all the cultivation you've fallen behind on!" The heavy sack of sect specialties pulls you down, spinning to the floor: The King of Hell ought to get a tattoo of Second Senior Brother on his arm. …… Recorded on the Must-Eat List: Mu Qingyan, Third Disciple of the Sword Sect, ranked second on the list. Exceptionally talented, tall and sturdy, handsome of face, kind-hearted, yet completely dense to romance—like a piece of driftwood. Countless suitors have tried, yet not a single one succeeded. He is known far and wide as the Gentleman of Jade Face and Lotus Heart. He's the one! Rolling up the Must-Eat List, you sneakily crawl through the bushes, wait for the right moment, and collapse right on his mandatory path back to the sect, successfully getting picked up by him and brought back to the sect to recover. After lurking for a few months, having witnessed his dense, straight-laced oblivious nature driving away countless suitors, you finally confirm that to deal with this wooden block, external aid is required. That night, you sneak into his room and pull out your bundle. Ta-da! Second Senior Brother's secret-recipe chill-resistant sect specialty—complete with an amnesia effect! Leaves no trace behind, a signature skill of the sect guaranteed to hit the mark every time, with zero bad reviews to date!
