Synopsis

[Beautifully tragic, aloof sword cultivator + radiant, delicate, bewitching demoness adored by all + devoted to each other + romantic rivalry + light, satisfying, sweet romance]

Ling Xianluo transmigrated into a book and found herself in the cultivation world.

The first time, she became a stone spirit. The second time, she became a seventy-year-old woman. Both missions ended in failure.

On her third try, she became the junior sister of the Demon Sect, the wicked supporting character who was in love with the devoted male lead of this xianxia novel.

System: You finally got it right, but you’ve died too many times, so your mission has automatically been upgraded to Hell Mode.

Your mission is not to win over the male lead, nor to compete with the female lead for a man.

Instead, you must seduce Xie Fuyan, the foremost sword cultivator of the righteous path, admired throughout the cultivation world for his noble character and elegance.

Afterward, Ling Xianluo concealed her identity behind secret identities while getting close to the protagonist group and making sure Xie Fuyan noticed her.

All she had to do was win over the Sword Leader, deceive him into falling for her, drag him down from his pedestal, then leave when he was begging her to stay with tearful, reddened eyes.

At first, Xie Fuyan thought she was simply a very ethereal girl.

Later, he discovered the secret Ling Xianluo was hiding.

One glance was all it took for his heart to stir.

There was a demoness famous throughout the cultivation world.

After she died, the greatest sword cultivator became a demon for her, the compassionate Buddhist monk tried to save her soul, the entire Demon Sect went mad for her, and the righteous sects all came to regard her as their unattainable ideal.

The resurrected Ling Xianluo: ???

People said that Xie Fuyan, the aloof beauty, had gone mad.

He used a forbidden technique to bring Ling Xianluo back to life, sharing his own lifespan with her. After her resurrection, she saw him standing before her amid a sea of blood. His trembling hand touched her face, both agitated and elated.

“Everyone who wanted to hurt you is dead. A-Luo, can you tell me you love me one more time?”

His eyes lowered, his lashes trembling as he begged with a humble expression.

He wasn’t pure white snow. He was a cold-hearted demon who had once walked into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood for the one he loved.

What a captivating premise! 😫 The aloof and detached senior brother lives a naked existence, seemingly robotic, and gradually falls in love with the female lead, being nurtured and taught by her. 😫😫 The female lead is a heartthrob; her radiant brightness and vitality are irresistible. Her excellence attracts many admirers.

I only watched a little bit and I already want to give it five stars! I absolutely love the male lead's character. He's completely clueless about relationships, only remembering the female lead saying, "If you like her, kiss her and hug her..." 🥰 And the female lead has such strong moral principles! So cute and adorable! Not the weak, innocent type, but rather a "I can do it!"

It's well-written; the author's writing style is excellent, and the characters are vividly portrayed. The female lead's personality is also very likable, and she has many shining moments. However, I personally feel that her actions are too passive—passively choosing to pursue the male lead and passively accepting tasks.

The female lead initially only focused on the mission and didn't think much beyond that. Later, she gradually integrated into this world and fell in love with her target. She was willing to sacrifice herself for the world, her friends, and her lover, even knowing she wouldn't die, which deeply moved me. It's very heartbreaking for the male lead because he experienced the death of his lover.

This book is so good, oh my god! It's not finished yet, and I'm too scared to finish it all at once, afraid I'll get stuck on the part where Xianluo dies... And the character I feel most sorry for in this book is the male lead, so I'm terrified of the part where Xianluo dies, even though it seems like he only dies in two chapters. The further I read, the more heartbroken I get!

I really love the male lead's character, and this book doesn't have any setbacks or the feeling of being rejected. Although the male lead is aloof, he genuinely responds to everything the female lead does and says. In the early stages, the female lead doesn't experience the frustration of trying to win her over; it's a two-way street. God, I don't usually like 1v1 stories, but this one is really to my liking.

2026.01.26 06.21 I really love it, ahhhhhh 🥰🥰, I'm completely captivated by the seductive enchantress and the aloof swordsman! Ling Xianluo is simply my source of joy, she's both charming and seductive, she has Xie Da Lao completely under her thumb, and the way the aloof swordsman gradually falls for her is just too irresistible!

This is seriously super good! The male and female leads are so adorable. I feel like this story leans a bit towards a micro-group narrative, and every couple is incredibly sweet. The author is amazing! This novel is totally my cup of tea, and I'm sure the rating will keep rising. Keep it up, author!!!

So good! I love the aloof, slightly crazy female lead. The plot moves so fast and it's so engaging! The author is such a great writer. It would be even better if there were more male leads. I love all the supporting characters too! Why can't I have them all?

Oh my god, this book is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend it. The writing is so smooth and enjoyable to read! And the original main characters are all such wonderful people! The part where the male lead goes crazy, listening to the music "Day and Night" with it is so incredibly catchy! I swear, this book is the best I've ever read in 2025! I read it from 9 pm until after 1 am last night!
