Go to Hell! You Overwrought Tragedy of a Novel

Yu Xianxian transmigrates into a book, a melodramatic tragedy about a woman called “The Long Road to Immortality, With You by My Side.”

The book is easy enough to sum up: a domineering male lead, a full harem, and a pitiful heroine constantly throwing herself in front of him to take the blows.

After several million words, the story finally reaches its conclusion. The two of them fight the villain together, then end up with one dead and the other gravely wounded. They are separated by life and death, and only then does the hero finally find the courage to confess his love, to the heroine’s almost-cold corpse.

With You by My Side? More like our souls will be together! Is this a one-click transformation into soulmates?

Yu Xianxian: “Are you kidding me?”

It’s agony for the heart, the liver, the whole body! After reading it back then, all she wanted was to give the book a new title: “The Long Road to Immortality: Just Kill the Male Lead and Call It a Day!”

It’s practically forcing a sob story, tragedy for tragedy’s sake! Who wouldn’t read it and exclaim, “What an outrageously melodramatic mess!”

The System: “Your mission is to stay by the main characters’ side, help the hero and heroine enjoy a loving marriage, and avert the tragic ending. Otherwise, your life will be taken back.”

“I refuse to play matchmaker for some domineering hero!” The System watches helplessly as she raises her sword and slashes her own throat, spraying blood three feet into the air.

“...?! Girl, that’s a little too fierce!” It breaks down and frantically clicks the reset button.

Yu Xianxian, thinking to herself: Of course it won’t let me die right at the start! I knew I was right, hahaha! (^.^)

The second time around, Yu Xianxian makes the following demands: First, she can change the ending, but she only guarantees that the hero and heroine both survive. She has no obligation to play matchmaker.

Second, set her power level to maximum.

Later, a junior sister arrives at Snow Jade Peak on Mount Ming. She is said to be sweet and delicate, naturally beautiful without makeup, like a tender willow in the spring breeze. That’s how people who have met her describe her.

At the once-a-century Moon Palace Laurel Tournament, the demon clan breaks through the barrier. The disciples panic and scatter in all directions.

The girl appears with a giant blade in hand, chopping through demons as easily as vegetables. She faces the crowd and smiles demurely.

So much for being as delicate as a willow...

Someone says to her, “Don’t you think it’s deeply romantic to never remarry after your wife dies?”

She replies, “No. Why didn’t he die with her?”

Someone says, “I’m worried my lover will change their heart after I’m gone. Life is so long. Who knows what the future holds?”

She replies, “Take them with you. Then there won’t be a future.”

So much for being delicate and kind...

In a secret realm, she meets a senior disciple from the Lanchan River sect. The young man is gentle and refined, handsome and graceful. Unfortunately, he is mute and often bullied by his fellow disciples.

Thinking of her own grandmother, who was also deaf and mute, Xianxian feels compassion for him. She teaches him sign language and looks after him all along the way, protecting him time and again.

But his temper isn’t as aloof and refined as his looks suggest, at least not with Yu Xianxian.

She hits him. One cheek is swollen and red, the corner of his mouth is split, and blood runs from his nose. Yet the young man isn’t angry or upset. He only smiles faintly, takes the hand Yu Xianxian slapped him with, presses it against his cheek, and rubs it gently like a cat or dog.

Yu Xianxian: “?”

After his voice is healed, Yu Xianxian teaches him to speak. She sounds out each word, laughing as she says it’s just like a mother teaching a toddler to talk.

He lowers his head and thinks for a while, then says each syllable slowly, with the utmost tenderness: “Mother...”

Yu Xianxian: “?”

W-wait, Senior Brother, how are you even better than me at playing against type?!

A pressure-proof, unbelievably strong junior sister × a gentle-seeming but dark-hearted senior brother

I love the idea of a girl tyrant! It feels like such a fun contrast! But she isn’t entirely an overpowered heroine, and this isn’t a story about a powerhouse heroine! The heroine transmigrates into a book, and the hero is reborn. The heroine has a clear head, while the hero is a black lotus, with a warning for dark tendencies. Don’t read if that bothers you.

Mini-scene 1

Yu Xianxian grabs him by the collar and demands, “What about when I die?”

“What does it matter if you die?” Shen Qi’an looks delighted. “You die, I die. We’ll be buried together, sleeping forever side by side. Wouldn’t that be better?”

What kind of sick person is this? With no way out, she says, “My cultivation is weaker than yours. I might rot first. Then I can’t stay with you forever.”

“You’ve reminded me of something.”

The candle flame flickers in the room, casting shifting colors across his face. His eyes are bloodshot, making him look like a demon from the underworld.

He takes her hand and guides it to his abdomen, tender and affectionate to the extreme.

“Would you like me to put you here?”

“Then we’d be one body, joined and blended together.”

“Together for all eternity, never to part.”

Theme: I want you to choose me, and only me, forever.
