Reincarnated into a xianxia novel as a cannon-fodder character doomed to die a gruesome death, Xie Yao clutches a deadly golden finger that can analyze all techniques but shortens her lifespan, and frantically writes her own legend in the Book of Life and Death.
When Feng Yichen, a prodigy of the Immortal Sect, pierces her throat with his frost-ice sword, the deciphered Ninefold Nirvana Art is already burning through the last three hours of her allotted life.
From a failed Qi Refining cultivator to a cheat-powered legend sweeping the Three Realms, the price is the crimson blood she coughs into her palm every night.
As the Immortal Alliance’s kill order descends alongside a tribulation thunderstorm, Xie Yao shatters the ninth forbidden technique. But the young sect lord, his black robes stained with blood, traps her in a sword formation: “Use my life to extend yours. How many lifetimes will you need to analyze?”
I was confused.
