Everyone Who Tried to Conquer Me Ran Away in Tears

[Unhinged villain + Reverse conquest + Transmigrate into a book + Beautiful yet tragic + Female ghost + Sweet romance]

Shen Jiujiu had been dead for three hundred years, the least noticeable wisp of a ghost in Withered Bone City.

She had no magic, no memories, and just one skill: roasting chestnuts with ghost fire. She always burned them, too.

She had known for a long time that she was living inside a storybook. Every seven days, the Heavenly Dao would toss in a transmigrator, complete with a System, a golden finger, and unshakable confidence. Their only goal was to conquer the white-robed, gentle-smiling demon lord Wen Chaomu, who killed without blinking.

For three hundred years, Shen Jiujiu had watched one confident transmigrator after another enter Withered Bone City, only to drift back out as dust.

All she wanted was to roast chestnuts in peace and wait for the day her soul dissipated.

Then one day, the smoke from her roasted chestnuts drifted right beneath the demon lord's nose.

Wen Chaomu sat in front of her, a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Are you here to conquer me too?"

Shen Jiujiu was so frightened that she stuffed all the chestnuts into her mouth and mumbled, "I'm here to poison you to death."

She thought she would die.

But the demon lord picked up a charred chestnut and ate it.

From that day on, the transmigrators found the conquest difficulty skyrocketing, because a little ghost had appeared by the demon lord's side, and the way he looked at that little ghost was completely different from how he looked at everyone else.

Those transmigrators receiving System notifications that said "Affection +1" didn't know that the true rules of this story were far more cruel than they imagined.

Who exactly is Shen Jiujiu? And who was Wen Chaomu waiting for three hundred years ago?
