[Transmigrate Into a Book + Sweet Romance, Both Leads Devoted to Each Other, 1v1 + Jade Pendant Shared Sensations + Faked Death Goes Wrong + Supernatural Horror, Mildly Scary + Ensemble Cast]
[Green-tea, scheming, younger, lovesick villain who throws himself at an exceptionally oblivious, career-minded, emotionless, cold-faced, adorable sword cultivator]
After being hunted down by her enemies, the genius cultivator Zhu Lingyue of the Unfeeling Way took over the body of the third young lady, Zhu Sijiao, and happened to pick up a little kid along the way.
Then the System appeared and told her she had transmigrated into a supernatural horror novel as cannon fodder, and that the child she’d picked up was the book’s bloodthirsty, murderous villain. Unfortunately, she raised him into a righteous, wildly over-the-top chuunibyou teenager.
To get the plot back on track, Zhu Lingyue followed the System’s terrible advice and forced Qi Si to fall into darkness through coercive love.
“If I died, would you feel relieved?”
“Even if you died, I’d go to the underworld and bring your ghost back.”
Qi Si’s gaze darkened. His tone shifted from its former gentleness to something gloomy and obsessive. “In life after life, until the end of time.”
Zhu Lingyue decided the time was right and immediately jumped off a cliff to fake her death.
[Congratulations, Host! The mission is complete. Qi Si’s corruption level is 100%!]
She thought completing the mission would let her ascend to the spirit realm, but for some inexplicable reason she was missing a fragment of her soul. She had to find it again.
But how was she supposed to do that?
*
After Zhu Lingyue jumped off the cliff, Qi Si searched for her for seven days and seven nights.
He found neither her alive nor her corpse.
Zhu Lingyue had vanished.
He refused to believe she was dead, so he used a secret soul-summoning technique and called back a fragment of her soul.
He carefully nurtured the fragment inside a jade pendant, watching it day and night.
Then one day, he began to share sensations with the pendant.
Joy blossomed in Qi Si’s eyes, and his voice was crazed with obsession. “Master… I’ve found you.”
