A lie-flat, apathetic cannon-fodder heroine vs. a scheming, unfeeling Sword Venerable who has gone mad
After transmigrating into a book as a vicious cannon-fodder character, Jiang Muning decides to give up and lie flat like a lazy fish.
Fortunately, there is no System, and no one can interfere with her fate.
Unfortunately, she accidentally binds herself to her master, Xie Tingxiu, who cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness.
According to the story, she and Xie Tingxiu are fated to have a disastrous romance. She once betrayed her master and seduced him, only to die by his hand in the end. Since she is determined to lie flat, she promptly gives up on following the plot.
The colder her master is toward her, the better.
But for some reason, from the very first day, her master's gaze seems off.
Later, this master, who had always treated her with cold indifference, suddenly changes and spends all day flirting with her, saying things that invite misunderstanding.
Jiang Muning says, "Master, I didn't use a love charm on you this time, so why are you acting like you can't live without me?!"
Xie Tingxiu was the Crown Prince of Nanling. On the day his kingdom fell, Zhenren Haisu took him in as a disciple and brought him into the Taixu Sect. From then on, he cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness and stayed apart from the mortal world.
The year he met Jiang Muning, he was on the verge of mastering the Path of Ruthlessness.
She defied everyone's objections to become his disciple, intending to drag him down from his lofty pedestal.
From their second meeting, Xie Tingxiu knew that this woman was not the real Jiang Muning, and he knew what she was after. The closer she got, the more delighted he became.
Could it be that his inner demons were at work?
At the time, a terrifying thought began to take root in his heart.
No matter what, he would be with Jiang Muning, until death did them part.
Reader's Guide:
● Not equally matched; both are chaste; 1v1
● Content warning: The male lead goes mad later on and has no humanity. Please skip if that bothers you.
● The romance develops mainly toward the end of Volume One and afterward.
● If this isn't to your taste, just move on. Please don't insult the author.
Theme: Good and evil cannot coexist
Hey, which one is this? Is it an inner demon or an evil cultivator?
I feel like the plot is moving a bit slowly [laughs]
Did you mention this before the breath wheel?
Nosy only has 0 and countless times
That's really heartbreaking.
