Lu Xunran, the modern-day protagonist, was reading a cultivation novel on the subway. It was a melodramatic cultivation story.
In the original novel:
Original heroine: Lu Yueyue.
- Villainess: Lu Xunran.
- Male lead: Xie Wuwang.
Lu Yueyue and Lu Xunran were both baby girls whom Perfected Xuanwei had found at the foot of a mountain twenty years ago. He took them back to the Yunzhao Sect and raised them as his daughters.
On the surface:
- Lu Yueyue was gentle and kind, and everyone liked her.
- Lu Xunran was a scheming, duplicitous, and foolishly malicious green tea white lotus who constantly targeted Lu Yueyue.
In truth:
- Lu Yueyue was simply better at hiding her true nature.
- Lu Xunran was certainly wicked, but much of the time Lu Yueyue had led her astray, provoked her, and used her step by step.
- Xie Wuwang saw through the original Lu Xunran's vile behavior, and came to despise her more and more.
In the original novel, three months later, the Yunzhao Sect receives a mission to slay a great demon.
Xie Wuwang leads a team down the mountain, and Lu Xunran gets dragged into it as well.
Deep in the demon's lair, the male lead takes the opportunity to arrange for the villainess, Lu Xunran, to die in the demon's den.
When modern-day Lu Xunran transmigrates into a book, that fateful death is still three months away.
The heroine knew that someone was setting up a trap, but she still went there, thinking she was going to fight back, but in the end she just ran to pretend that her grandson admitted her mistake and apologized. Will your enemy give up the trap just because you bow your head? Childish
