[Scheming Demon Lord x Funny Girl] [Transmigrate into a book + 1v1 romance + System + pocket dimension + save-point golden finger]
Zhao Ningning transmigrates into an early tragic romance novel as the cannon-fodder senior sister. In the original story, the kind and gentle heroine takes a blow from a spirit beast meant for the female lead, who has trespassed into a secret realm, and falls off a cliff. She barely escapes the realm alive, only to discover that everyone in the sect, including her fiancé, the male lead, has fallen for the green tea heroine, who has spent years “atoning for causing Senior Sister's death.” Even the sect leader, the master who brought her into the sect, treats the heroine like a treasure. After turning dark, the original heroine poisons the female lead, so her cultivation is crippled and she's expelled from the sect. The male lead then joins forces with the other disciples to hunt her down and drive a sword through her heart, claiming he wants to cut off their lingering feelings. They even spare no mercy for the spirit beast she raised to protect her. It doesn't get any more miserable than that!
System: “Don't be afraid, Host. Follow the plot to the end, and you can go home~”
Zhao Ningning: “Like hell I will!”
If you have something to say, say it! If someone wrongs you, get even!
The System knows it's at fault for giving her the wrong script, so it offers up a save-point golden finger with both hands. With a pocket realm in hand, Zhao Ningning thinks that once she's avenged herself and cleared her name, she'll enjoy a peaceful life devoted to cultivation and happy farming. But then a magical artifact unexpectedly awakens the immortal-demon dual nature sealed within her for years.
In public, she's the radiant and virtuous Fairy Ningshuang, renowned for her good deeds.
In secret, she's the Demon Realm's Holy Maiden, lurking in the shadows and commanding its forces.
At the Xuanzhou Tournament, she stuns the world with a single sword strike and overwhelms all her rivals. But as she's on the verge of a breakthrough, demonic energy suddenly escapes her, leaving the entire crowd aghast.
The spirit beast that has always stayed by her side throws back its head and roars, unleashing the might of a Mahayana cultivator!
“I remember now, Master. I'm actually an ancient Demon Lord.”
