[Transmigrate into a book · System · Forced love]
[Snarky heroine × crazy, obsessive priest]
Su Manman transmigrates into the Miao shamanism novel she's spent three years cursing, becoming a cannon-fodder saintess whose spiritual root is to be stripped and spun into thread by the villainous priest.
And that villain? Li Shuo, the very man she'd personally voted “Most Evil” in the annual poll.
The System orders her to stop him from making “Soul-Devouring Thread” and reform him, or her soul will be destroyed.
Su Manman looks at the stunning priest before her, eyes covered by white silk and blood dripping from his fingertips. Her legs go weak. Can I still just die now?
Too late.
To stay alive, she switches on “mindless devoted puppy” mode. When Li Shuo casts a spell, she brings him a bowl of medicine. When he kills someone, she hands him a handkerchief. When he goes to make thread, she grabs the deadly red strand. “Use my spiritual root! As long as it makes you happy, Manman is willing to be torn to pieces.”
She acts utterly sincere, all the while calculating that she'll run as soon as his affection meter is full.
Who could have known that the “Soul-Devouring Thread” would burrow wildly into her heart, winding tightly around her spinal cord? From then on, she shares his pain, and he controls her heartbeat.
One day, Su Manman plans a perfect fake death and prepares to run.
Beneath a sky filled with blood-red spells, the barefoot priest in white approaches through the mist. The white silk falls to the ground, revealing eyes bloodshot and crazed with obsession.
His icy fingers wind the red thread around her neck. His voice is hoarse:
“Manman, the Soul-Devouring Thread has entered your bones… If you want to leave, are you taking my life with you, or my soul?”
Su Manman: ?
Weren't you supposed to strip my spiritual root? What do you mean by gnawing on my neck like a maniac?!
[At first she pretends to be in love. Later, he means it for real.]
