[Transmigrate into a book + System + Ensemble Cast + Power Progression + Hilarious Comedy + The Pursuit Begins at the Crematorium]
Jiang Zhaoran transmigrates into a cultivation novel as a cannon-fodder character whose village is massacred in the opening chapter.
The System, Xiao Qi, chatters away: “You just have to survive until the end!”
Jiang Zhaoran looks at the village burned to ashes, then at her two friends crying their eyes out beside her, and slaps her thigh.
“Fine! We’ll follow the main cast around collecting scraps and quietly make a fortune!”
“Senior Brother Xie, do you still want that Spirit-Gathering Pill you crushed underfoot? I’ll take it home to feed the chickens.”
“Senior Brother Xie, you really don’t want that spirit sword you damaged? I could melt it down and sell it for a few spirit stones.”
Xie Yan’s face is ice-cold. “Get lost.”
Jiang Zhaoran promptly gets lost, then uses the hem of his robe to wipe the floor on her way out.
Until one day, she realizes that the cold, heartless sword cultivator is looking at her in a very different way.
Xie Yan pins her into a corner, his fingertip gently stroking the cinnabar mark between her brows. “Who was it that said she only wanted a pure friendship with me?”
Zhaoran shrinks back. “...You cultivate the Heartless Way!”
He gives a low laugh, the corners of his eyes reddening. “Who told you that cultivating the Heartless Way means you can’t have desire?”
Zhaoran: ???
System: Warning! The plot has seriously derailed. The antagonist’s romance route is now 999% off the original story!
Zhaoran: You’re only telling me now?!

It's so beautiful. How come no one sees it?
