Actress Jiang Li died in a car accident and woke up inside an old cultivation novel she had read before, as a cannon-fodder character destined to die young, with only two years to live.
The System told her that if she wanted to survive, she had to complete a mission.
Her mission was to pretend to be the heroine and win over the future great demon king, who would not appear for another hundred years.
The demon king was undergoing a trial from his past life. For now, he was Song Qi, an illegitimate son of a cultivation clan with a century of history. The body Jiang Li had entered belonged to Song Qi's elder brother's fiancée.
Young Song Qi was blind, frail, and plagued by misfortune. His father showed him no affection, his mother didn't love him, his siblings bullied him, and the world despised him. His heart was filled with malice.
Jiang Li took on the identity of the heroine, Xie Zhiyao. She approached him, cared for him, and looked after him, but also deceived him, manipulating him time and again.
She said, “Kid, I'm a fairy from the heavens, come down to keep you company. You need to behave, be sensible, and be grateful. Don't go around acting aloof and treating me like I'm invisible.”
Song Qi was cold and resistant, seeing through her tricks again and again, yet each time he found himself falling for her despite himself.
Two years later, with his affection rating high enough, Song Qi went to his death. The great demon king was reborn, and Jiang Li completed her mission and left.
But years later, during the war between immortals and demons, the reborn demon king, Li Jinyao, recognized Jiang Li at a glance in the crowd and cornered her. His voice was low and tender as he asked, “Sister, you promised to stay with me for the rest of my life. Why didn't you keep your word?”
