Synopsis
[A seemingly gentle but secretly twisted, obsessive male lead x a sunny, guiding female lead]
Yang Zhixiao transmigrates into a book, and the System tasks her with identifying the hidden villain in the original story.
To get home, she has no choice but to work diligently on her missions. The good news is that the System finally does something right and summons a human-shaped golden finger for her.
This golden finger is perfect in every way, except for one strange thing: he especially dislikes her fellow disciple, Senior Brother Yu, and is always secretly comparing himself to him.
One day, Yang Zhixiao suddenly realizes she's mistaken the two men for each other.
Lu Zhao grabs the corner of her sleeve, his voice low and heavy. "You can't seduce me and then abandon me."
Yang Zhixiao: ?
As the young man falls in a blizzard after risking his life to fight the villain and save her, Yang Zhixiao hears the mission success notification ring in her mind.
She chooses not to leave. Instead, she risks utter ruin to gather his soul and enter a new world, all so she can take him home.
The person before her looks just like Lu Zhao, but his head of white hair stands out starkly against the night.
System: [Once conquest progress reaches 100%, you can take him back to the original world.]
System: [However, the Host will transmigrate through the timeline twice.]
Yang Zhixiao has barely said a few words to Lu Zhao when her first transmigration begins.
The young man watches her sleeping profile, then leans down and kisses her.
Yang Zhixiao transmigrates thirteen years into the past. Lu Zhao is still a child, with nowhere to turn, clinging to her clothes and refusing to let go.
Yang Zhixiao: ...A raising-him-from-childhood story?
So she becomes his master, teaches him swordsmanship, and paves the way for him.
When the boy is fifteen, Yang Zhixiao transmigrates for the second time and returns to the original timeline.
Her first thought is: Why is my mouth so dry?
Lu Zhao smiles gently. "Master, have some water."
She gulps it down without a second thought, then grabs the hand of the person in front of her and asks, "How old are you now?"
The young man looks at her with glistening eyes. "Eighteen."
Three years, then?
In those three years, the boy has shed his childishness and grown to look more and more like the person in her memories.
Why is the progress stuck at 90%, even though they've held hands, confessed their feelings, and been married for two years?
Thinking back on the countless romance novels she's read, Yang Zhixiao reaches a conclusion: maybe she needs to try something more drastic.
After much deliberation, Yang Zhixiao decides to try running away from home for a day.
But before she can even take a step out of the courtyard, everything suddenly goes black.
The weather is warm and drowsy, but a chill creeps into Yang Zhixiao's heart.
Lu Zhao holds her hand and rubs it against his face, his voice full of longing. "Master, when you look through me, who are you really seeing?"
Then he adds gently:
"It doesn't matter who it is. From now on, there will only be the two of us here."
Reader's guide:
1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced; 1v1; happy ending
2. After the male lead recreates his body, he is jealous of himself until his memories return, but both versions are the same person
3. Please don't scrutinize the clothing or objects. Everything serves the story.
Theme: Though we know the vastness of the world, we still cherish the green of every blade of grass.
