[A righteous-to-a-fault, wildly imaginative genius × a sinister, manipulative villain]
Jiang Mi transmigrates into a cultivation novel as the vicious female supporting character.
The System plans to have her quickly play out the plot: obsess over the male lead, then die a tragic death.
As the heir to a venerable swordsmanship lineage, Jiang Mi’s thought process immediately goes off the rails:
Win the male lead, body and soul = guide him into my sword path, make him inherit my legacy, and win everlasting fame!
System: Falls silent on the spot.
Everyone idolizes the aloof Sword Immortal, the male lead favored by fate?
Jiang Mi sets her sights on the despised young Xie Huaiyuan instead.
Everyone else: He’s clearly a cruel, bloodthirsty demon who lives for evil, the ultimate villain!
Jiang Mi: He’s a beautiful, tragic gem, beset by misfortune but brimming with potential!
While others abet the wicked, she helps them become saints, chasing after the young man every day to map out his righteous future.
Male lead! We’re going down in history together!

Xie Huaiyuan laughs. The poisonous woman who tormented him has become a madwoman, passionately insisting every day that he’s the chosen one destined to save the world?
Fine, he’ll play along and use her status to fulfill his own demonic ambitions!
Who could have guessed that, with time, he’d get so caught up in the act...

He fancied himself the one moving the pieces, yet had long since surrendered to being part of the game.
But one day, he finally reached his true ending: his ambition turned against him, condemning him to utter ruin.
He closed his eyes, numb.
Then, amid an endless sea of blood mist, he felt someone take his fallen hand and heard her challenge the heavens:
So what if it’s wrong?
I’ll stubbornly refuse to see reason and keep making the same mistake to the very end!
