Modern girl Jiang Tao unexpectedly transmigrates into the world of The Untamed, becoming the key variable that changes the fate of the siege of the Burial Mounds.
She once thought saving everyone simply meant:
✨ Using antibiotics to save a dying disciple (made from moldy steamed buns)
✨ Getting Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli together ahead of time (pretending to be the matchmaker after tying the wrong red string)
✨ Changing the outcome of the massacre at Nightless City (by disrupting it with a square-dance formation)
Until she discovers that...
Lan Wangji stays up late copying down the “recipes from immortal islands overseas” she made up
Wei Wuxian remakes the Chenqing flute for her, carving the words “Don't starve to death” into it
⚡ Jiang Cheng secretly keeps her “Manual for Getting Along Peacefully with Wei Ying”
When the conspiracy comes to light, the girl who once said, “I'm most afraid of dying,” stands in front of everyone and tears up the scroll that could take her back to the modern world.
“Jiang Tao,” Lan Wangji says, his bloodstained fingers brushing her brow, “you are the greatest variable of all.”
