[Question: What do you do when you discover that you're the heroine's fully automated wishing machine in a xianxia novel?
Thanks for asking. I'm at the medicine hut, and I just finished refining a pill. The next second, it's already being requisitioned.]
Shen Yunyao has recently started to feel like a human good-luck charm:
The pills she gives the heroine help her reach enlightenment and break through, while eating them herself brings her three days of bad luck.
The treasured sword she finds ends up choosing the heroine as its master, while Shen Yunyao is forced to bond with a junky black-iron sword.
Even the righteous senior brother abandons her for the heroine.
As the Heaven-approved unlucky one, she finally gets it: she's done!
With the plot reaching the “tool character sacrifices herself for love” chapter, Shen Yunyao puts all her hopes in the righteous senior brother:
“See that Sword Venerable, Demon King, and Buddhist heir chasing after the heroine?”
The young man treating her lifts his eyes. “What about them?”
Shen Yunyao thinks, Can't you see they're out for my blood?!
No one's going to save her. There's only one thing left to do.
“Run!!!”
Then one day, as the countdown to the cold pool ticks away:
“Remember today's cultivation mantra! Stay away from the heroine, stay even farther from the demonic path, and stay away from...”
“Stay closer to me.” The young man's sword tassel winds around her wrist, while red lotuses of karmic fire bloom across the three realms behind him. “Yaoyao, let me guess: where have you been all these years?”
