When Du Jun opens her eyes on a sheer cliff, a cold sword is pressed against Zhou Lan’s throat. In the original story, this assassination attempt leads to her being hunted by the Martial Arts Alliance Leader until her meridians are destroyed.
What good is knowing the original plot?
Fated death flags cling to her like a bone-deep curse, and every key plot point is forced to play out.
“Why not use you as my get-out-of-death-free card?” She turns her sword and takes the rising young martial artist hostage in front of everyone.
What she doesn’t know is that this seemingly gentle, mysterious young lord had already seen through the secrets of fate on the night she transmigrated into a book. He catches her by the wrist, pressing on the life-or-death point: “Miss Du, would you allow me to make a move in your game?”
When the black-lotus villainess starts turning the plot on its head and joins forces with the seemingly gentle but secretly ruthless male lead to overturn the original story’s framework,
the two go from the Demon-Slaying Assembly to a battle for supremacy in the martial world, falling in love as they fight through deadly trials and turning a certain death into a path to ascension.
