[Immortals clash + aloof beauty + play the pig to eat the tiger + quit while you’re ahead]
Xia Li falls in love with the villain, Jin Zhao, in a book.
To spare Jin Zhao from being tortured, she sends the author a long essay with her suggestions.
She’s only just submitted it, and she’s already transmigrated.
She wakes up in the body of a cripple who has nothing and has been unconscious for ninety-eight days after suffering grievous injuries.
Book Spirit: You have a golden finger. Starting today, train hard, surpass the villain Jin Zhao, and become the villain yourself.
Xia Li: All I feel is that my whole body is weak, my hands and feet are limp, and I can barely breathe.
Jin Zhao, the only princess of the Northern Domain Kingdom, was surrounded by four spirits when she was born. She is also a once-in-ten-thousand-years cultivation prodigy.
Her talent for cultivation is so exceptional that she reaches the Nascent Soul realm in just twenty years.
At first, Jin Zhao says: “Come with me if you don’t want to die.”
Later, Jin Zhao says: “She has me behind her. Who dares lay a hand on her?”
Later still, Jin Zhao says: “You’re allowed to have allies, but my Xia Li isn’t allowed to have someone backing her?”
Xia Li wanted to surpass the villain, but the villain was too powerful and ended up becoming her patron.
After all the turmoil, they think they’ll be happy together forever.
But then Jin Zhao disappears.
When Xia Li sees her again, Jin Zhao has become an untouchable being of supreme status.
She says: “A god must not fall in love.”
Xia Li: ...I quit. I want to go home.
