Chu Yan always thought Heaven had finally smiled on him, granting him a chance at immortality.
Born into poverty and abused, he had fought his way into an immortal sect all on his own.
Then he saw the male lead, Ling Yuan, for the first time. “Wow, what a cool setup!”
A chime rang in his head: [Key plot point detected. Hello, Host. You are the stepping stone in this story, paving the way for the male lead's ascension.]
Chu Yan: “...” You're the stepping stone! Your whole family are stepping stones!
System: [Beginner's first mission: Kiss the male lead, Ling Yuan, immediately. Failure will result in instant elimination.]
Chu Yan: “???” This isn't how the story is supposed to go!
He snuck into the inner sect to look for Ling Yuan, but couldn't find him. Instead, he ran into the group that bullied him every day.
Their leader, Senior Brother Zhao, sneered. “Well, if it isn't the good-for-nothing who's been stuck in the same place for five years?”
Chu Yan tightened his grip on the hidden dagger in his sleeve and looked up with a smile.
A stepping stone? Today, I'll show you what it means to be a stumbling block.
Well written, boss! I like Chu Yan so much! Xiao Chu is a completely cold beauty, tough and ruthless, but at the same time, the vulnerability, helplessness and unwillingness to admit defeat that she inadvertently reveals are so astringent! Although the interaction between the protagonists is not much, they are gradually getting closer to each other according to the logic of their personalities and behaviors. Xiao Ling is also completely attracted by Xiao Chu. He always cares about him and wants to get closer. He also senses that Xiao Chu is being forced by the system to do some things of his own. What he didn't want to do, he realized that Xiao Chu had to do it for some reasons, and it was beneficial to Xiao Chu's cultivation, so he silently cared about it and wanted to help. Xiao Ling really couldn't hide his thoughts. His wife was in danger, and he couldn't stand having another person next to him. His jealous nature was beginning to show. Big cheers for the author! Take good care of you! This book has absolute potential!
I was really attracted to the protagonist right away, and I really like the protagonist's tenacious temperament. Such pure love, when will we be together? 😂 And the past of each character is quite heartbreaking. The author's supporting characters are also well created. There are a lot of foreshadowings, and I still haven't guessed who is behind the scenes haha
It looks good, the writing is good, and the plot is good.
