[Ridiculous Comedy | Love and Hate | Unhinged Sword Sovereign | Shared Pain | Angsty Push and Pull]
Lin Xiaoyu is a low-level worker at the transmigrate-into-a-book agency. She just has to make it through three years until the story wraps, and then she can clock out.
According to the script, she is supposed to take a blow from the Immortal-Slaying Sword in place of the Sword Sovereign, Ye Wuchen, close her eyes, collect her ten million retirement bonus, and head home for good.
But just as she resigned herself to death, the aloof Sword Sovereign, supposedly beyond all worldly emotions, pried open her mouth with bloodshot eyes and forced his vital energy into her, dragging her back from the brink.
[Ding! The plot has gone off course! Your ten million retirement bonus has been canceled!]
[Ding! You have been forcibly bound by a life-and-death contract. Breach penalty: 100 million top-grade spirit stones!]
Staring at the gorgeous man who had spat up blood three times and was now gazing at her with madness in his eyes, Lin Xiaoyu slapped him across the face.
“My ten million! Ye Wuchen, pay me back!”
Their life-and-death contract meant they shared each other’s pain.
She kicked a table leg, and thousands of miles away, the Sword Sovereign groaned and hit the floor.
She reached for a knife, and the haughty Sword Sovereign hurriedly tossed her his cosmic pouch, begging her not to hurt herself.
The entire cultivation world heard the rumor: the supreme Sword Sovereign had been brought to heel by a demoness who held his life in her hands.
Lin Xiaoyu thought it was all just a debt-collecting scam, and focused on making money so she could run away.
Until the nine heavenly tribulations descended, and the fastidious, proud man shielded her beneath him. With a thousand arrows piercing his heart, he smiled with obsessive devotion.
“I’ll settle your debt for you. From now on, your life belongs to me.”
