On the eve of the college entrance exams, the nation’s most talented cultivators are full of ambition, ready to challenge the heavens. Only A’Diao remains timid and unassuming.

When the competition begins, she quietly pulls out a common, cheap magic staff and casts a curse: “Everyone, turn into pigs!”

Poof, poof, poof!

A group of geniuses, chasing after the exam scrolls on their flying devices, all plummet to the ground, transforming into little pink pigs upon landing.

After taking first place in her group, she screenshots the “pig farm” and posts it to her social feed to gather resentment, captioning it: “What’s there to be proud of in getting first place? After all, what they lost was their score, but what I lost was their love for me~~~”

Set against a backdrop of a feudal empire with high-level martial arts and technology, this world has robots, spaceships, Taobao, and college entrance exams. It also features a highly stratified society with a ruling imperial court, entrenched noble classes, and powerful corporations that control the lifelines of the economy. Everyone’s life and death are subject to the whims of others.

Some say that with the revival of spiritual energy and the proliferation of subterranean lairs, the Three Kingdoms will fall to a demon king who will slaughter all in his path.

Some say A’Diao is that revived demon king.

Perhaps she is.

The world is high-risk. Characters will use any means necessary to get ahead, and the collective morality does not align with modern perspectives (the protagonist is ruthless as well). This is a parallel, fictional world; do not project it onto reality. Readers who are sensitive about moral ambiguity or prefer “pure” characters should avoid this. The views and actions of the characters do not represent the author’s own; this is simply a story.

The female lead follows a grassroots-to-power trajectory. For the first few dozen chapters, she appears to be lying low but is secretly scheming and profiting. This is not an “instant power-up and dominate” story, but she generally doesn’t let her enemies see another day. There are also hidden secrets regarding her family’s enmity. All characters are essentially tools for the plot; the female lead is a professional focused on gaining money and power. The story arc where she dominates everyone begins with the academy assessments.

A proactive spoiler warning: if the two points above are off-putting to you, please do not read. I also politely decline any writing advice. Thank you.
