Qi Wanning really likes her senior brother, Mu Yanbai. She fell for him at their first meeting, and thinks she must have fallen in love at first sight.

After all, her senior brother is gentle as jade and every inch a refined gentleman. He truly lives up to the saying, "A man as lovely as jade, unmatched in all the world." No one could help but admire such a bright and noble young man.

If she had to find a flaw, it would be that his face doesn't quite match his overall temperament. Still, his looks are undeniably excellent. But that's fine. She doesn't like him for his appearance. She likes the aura around him, bright and pure as the moon.

Who could have guessed that before she could win her senior brother over, she'd fall for someone else! She never knew she could be so awful. Was she really such a shallow person, swayed by looks?

And the person she has fallen for seems to be the traitor to the immortal sects, despised by all, who slaughtered the entire Song family!

Qi Wanning gazed silently at the young man sleeping beside her. He had a face as fine as jade, brows like distant mountains, and a high nose bridge. A beauty mark beneath the corner of his eye lent a touch of allure to his cool, aristocratic face.

Looking at that cool, aristocratic face, which seemed utterly innocent, Qi Wanning fell into deep thought. Are you telling me that he slaughtered the entire Song family while wearing that innocent face and carrying such a pure aura?

Song Jibai noticed that the new junior sister at the sect seemed to really like his face. Every so often, she'd stare at him in a daze.

While accompanying his junior brothers and sisters on sect missions, he realized that he might have fallen for his junior sister. But he couldn't shake the feeling that she wanted to toy with his feelings and then cruelly abandon him.

So he decided to use another identity to seduce her, test whether she truly liked him, and see if she could resist the charms of a handsome man.

Who could have guessed that she'd fall for his other identity so easily? Watching his junior sister, apparently infatuated with his other persona, Song Jibai sneered. He knew it. She just wanted to have some fun with him. He wouldn't let her get her way.

And so, while holding fast to his resolve not to let his junior sister get her way, Song Jibai ended up sharing a bed with her.

After doing everything there was to do, Song Jibai sat expressionlessly on the edge of the bed and got dressed. He glanced at the kiss marks on his body and clenched his teeth. That fickle, faithless woman! She said she liked him, then turned around and went to bed with another man!

He absolutely wouldn't let her toy with his feelings and get away with it!

Qi Wanning noticed that ever since she fell for someone else, her senior brother was always in a bad mood. Every so often, he'd give her a chilly look.

It made Qi Wanning feel a little guilty, but then she thought, I haven't done anything. So she looked right back at him without a trace of shame. Her senior brother would then look away and ignore her again.

This inexplicable staring contest continued until one day, when she walked into her senior brother's room by mistake and caught him bathing. She saw kiss marks all over his body.

Qi Wanning was shocked. She never imagined her usually cool and aloof senior brother was so adventurous. But those kiss marks looked... a little familiar?

Why did they look like the ones she left!? The moment Qi Wanning reached that conclusion, she instinctively tried to run, but her senior brother blocked her escape and pinned her against the wall. Water droplets ran down his hair.

"What? After having your way with your senior brother and playing with his feelings, you want to leave? Hmm?"

Faced with this scene, Qi Wanning felt like crying. What should she do after falling for the real person and sleeping with him!?

[Reader's Guide]

1. The setting is entirely my own. This is my take on cultivation, not a traditional cultivation novel.

2. The protagonists aren't all perfectly kind and virtuous!

3. Both protagonists have secret identities, which will be revealed later. They're equally strong and devoted only to each other. The heroine's sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside nature will become more apparent as the story goes on.

4. The male lead's real name is Song Jibai. Mu Yanbai is an alias.

5. I'm bad at writing blurbs, so the story itself takes precedence.

The worldbuilding is entirely original. The following Nine Thoughts are all my own creations, with no specific source material. This is my take on cultivation, so I make the rules. Awakening the Eighth Thought activates the Fate Mark, which grants a corresponding ability.

The Nine Thoughts are: Greed, Anger, Delusion, Emptiness, Slaughter, Hatred, Love, Tribulation, and Memory.

The Thoughts are ranked from one to nine. Apart from the Ninth Thought, the other eight have no clear differences in strength. Power depends on one's talent and the abilities one comprehends: the greater the talent, the more powerful the abilities one can master. Each Thought has six stages, with the sixth being the pinnacle. Comprehending each stage of a Thought grants a corresponding spiritual ability.

--Coming Soon: The Male Lead's White Moonlight Who Dies Young--

(The blurb will get a major revision. If you're interested in the premise, feel free to add it to your reading list.)

When Chi Shuang woke up, she found herself inside the male-oriented power-progression novel she'd been reading before bed.

The male lead, Pei Shiheng, was a classic chosen-one hero. Wherever he went, an NPC would randomly spawn to mock him, and then he'd launch into his face-slapping routine.

Mockery, face-slapping, leveling up, mockery, face-slapping... The cycle went on and on until the male lead finally ended up with a whole harem of beautiful women.

And she was the dutiful, hardworking white moonlight who died young in the novel.

She'd been engaged to the chosen-one hero since childhood. Like many male-oriented novel heroes, Pei Shiheng had been a prodigy as a child, but for some unknown reason, he became a good-for-nothing overnight.

Unlike the other female characters in broken-engagement stories, she neither mocked him cruelly nor broke off the engagement in public.

Naturally, the chosen-one hero never got the chance to deliver the famous line, "I control my own fate, not the heavens!"

Whenever the chosen-one hero was mocked, she helped him. When he was mistreated, she brought him comfort. Then, one day, after tirelessly standing by him, she was killed by one of his enemies.

After her death, the chosen-one hero was consumed with grief and began searching for a way to bring her back to life. Along the way, he met one woman after another who was destined to join his harem, eventually forgetting about his white moonlight and living happily ever after.

When Chi Shuang transmigrated into the story, she was right at the point where she was about to be killed. What kind of joke was this? She'd just transmigrated, and now she was going to die? No way.

After narrowly escaping death, Chi Shuang decided to toy with the chosen-one hero's feelings, dump him, and go live happily ever after surrounded by handsome men.

As if! He fell in love with other women while trying to bring her back to life. If she didn't toy with the chosen-one hero's feelings, how could she do justice to the body she'd transmigrated into!

After Chi Shuang had finished playing with the chosen-one hero's feelings, she called off their engagement. But then she realized that the male lead, who had been a loyal puppy just moments ago, had suddenly changed completely.

Pei Shiheng approached her with a sinister look in his eyes and a faint smile on his lips. He looked dangerous. "A Shuang, are you trying to abandon me and find someone new? Have I failed to win your heart?"

Pei Shiheng stepped closer to Chi Shuang, his lips brushing her ear as he toyed with her hair. His voice was alluring.

"A Shuang, tell me, you were only joking just now, right? Hmm?"

Chi Shuang froze, not daring to move. Can someone tell her what's going on with the male lead!? Shouldn't he have accepted the broken engagement and gone off to find his harem!?

What does this side of him mean? Did she break him...?
