[A young lady who acts like a villainess but is desperate to survive ✖️ A fallen prodigy who later turns dark and becomes the righteous sect's leader]
Li Yingshui had a dream that she was a character in a cultivation tale.
And she was the evil supporting character who tormented the male lead relentlessly, only to be stabbed to death by him in the end!
After waking with a start, Li Yingshui looked at her own bright yet sharp-featured face in the mirror and thought of Su Jingyue's cold, bloodthirsty eyes from her dream. She immediately backed down.
So when Su Jingyue was thrown into a beast cage by his wicked younger brother and left on the brink of death,
Li Yingshui came running, skirts in hand. “This slave is mine! If anyone's going to kill or punish him, it'll be me!”
She would grip his chin and force medicine down his throat. “Your life belongs to me. No one is allowed to touch you, not even you!”
She would take a fatal blow for him, battered and bruised but still refusing to soften her words.
She would watch coldly as he was humiliated, then secretly clean up the mess for him afterward.
Su Jingyue grew more and more confused.
Why did the notorious, ruthless eldest daughter of the Li family keep doing things he couldn't understand?
Until the day he secretly regained his strength, cornered her against a wall, pressed a finger to her chest, and demanded, “Li Yingshui, why do you keep saving me? What do you want?”
Looking into his eyes, Li Yingshui put on a brave face and said, “I... What if I told you I just want to stay alive? Would you believe me?”
