I'm the Red String: The Days I Cling Desperately to the Main Character

Cheng Xiaochu was just an ordinary office drone who slacked off at work and stayed up late grinding away at games. Then she woke up inside Where Winds Meet as the NPC Hong Xian!

To make matters worse, she had transmigrated as an unlucky little kid who couldn't fight, had no money, and was doomed to watch her village get wiped out?!

What should she do? Run away? No way!

She's a seasoned grinder who knows the story inside out. Even an NPC can change their fate!

To stay alive, she starts frantically cozying up to powerful people, stirring up trouble, delaying the plot, and building her skills. She swears she'll snatch the protagonist's script and turn herself from cannon fodder into the biggest winner in a chaotic age!

And so...

Hong Xian: “Boss, don't start the main quest yet! This side quest gives tons of experience! It's a steal!”

Jiang Che, the protagonist: “?”

Hong Xian: “Uncle Tian! I got you Aunt Han's Tears of Parting. Want to trade me something for them?”

Tian Bushou, proprietor of the Living People's Clinic: “...”

Hong Xian: “Dead Man's Blade! Looking for Aunt Han? I'll take you to her! But you have to agree to one condition first...”

Dead Man's Blade, the deranged big shot: “Hahaha, this little girl has some spirit!”

The assassins of Embroidered Gold Tower are here, and the NPCs are all caught up in the whirlpool of fate!

Hong Xian: “Wait?! This isn't how the story's supposed to go!”

Can Hong Xian change her fate and save her village from imminent destruction?

Can Jiang Che break free from the System's control in this chaotic age and become a true hero?

Conspiracies, betrayal, and destiny intertwine as turmoil looms over the martial world...

Hong Xian can only grit her teeth and keep fighting to carve out a way for the NPCs to survive, even if she has to cut a bloody path to do it!
