A cute, talented actress who wants to slack off but is too attached to life x an emotionally clueless, lovesick ghost
Mu Baiwei spent five years as a bit-part actress before suddenly dropping dead and transmigrating into a male-oriented cultivation novel. She became a cannon-fodder female supporting character with only a few lines.
The original owner was the adopted daughter of the foremost sect among the cultivation clans. For the first eighteen years of her life, she was the apple of everyone’s eye. Then she learned she was merely a vessel for a god’s birth, and the day the god emerged would be the day she died.
The bad news:
The divine heart in her womb had already begun to develop. Unless something changed, she had only two years left to live.
The good news:
The System gave her two choices.
1. Have a painless pregnancy and birth, then die peacefully.
2. Transfer the divine fetus to someone else through dual cultivation.
Mu Baiwei: 22222
The System said, "I recommend transferring the fetus to the female lead. She has the protagonist’s halo."
Mu Baiwei’s furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.
Right! She could transfer the divine fetus to the male lead!
Whose protagonist halo could possibly outshine Long Aotian’s?!
The System: ???
Daring to think big and act on it, she personally staged an elaborate "rescue a man" scheme and successfully acquired a Long Aotian whose minor injuries had become severe.
Acting was her specialty!
To achieve her goal, she fussed over him and cared for him in every possible way.
Long Aotian’s condition improved day by day. Aside from being quiet, he was perfect.
But Mu Baiwei always felt as if a pair of eyes were watching her.
She started having dreams.
In them, something cold and clammy slowly crawled over her body, gripping her throat until she couldn’t breathe, and she would wake with a start.
As Long Aotian’s health improved, her dreams grew more frequent and more extreme.
Just as she had used her debt of gratitude to get what she wanted and consummated her marriage with Long Aotian, she received terrible news.
She had picked up the wrong man!
The man sharing her bed night after night was this book’s greatest villain: Mo Linxiao, a deranged yandere who knew nothing but killing!
Run!
She packed her things and fled in the middle of the night!
The first day of her escape.
She woke from a nightmare, only to see Mo Linxiao sleeping peacefully beside her.
"..."
She ran again.
The second day of her escape.
A cool, warm tongue licked greedily inside her mouth. Before her were Mo Linxiao’s beautiful yet chilling, glowing green eyes.
!!!
She wanted to go home!!
She was still the cherished young lady of the Mu family. There was no way Mo Linxiao could come after her!
After several peaceful months,
Mu Baiwei hid beneath her older sister’s female-lead halo and felt like she could finally relax.
But on the day the male and female leads were to be married, demonic forces surrounded the city. She saw Mo Linxiao standing above, his expression gloomy and his eyes filled with murderous fury as he stared straight at her.
The great cultivation clans went on alert, warily watching the ill-intentioned newcomer.
The man, so handsome he seemed bewitching, landed and sauntered toward the terrified Mu Baiwei.
He calmly but firmly took her hand, swept aside the dark cloak concealing his figure, and laid it over his slightly rounded belly. Then he looked up again. "I have come to catch the faithless woman who abandoned her husband and child."
Everyone’s eyes focused on Mo Linxiao’s belly, then mechanically followed his gaze to Mu Baiwei. Their eyes nearly fell out of their heads.
Mu Baiwei stared in disbelief. "No, wait. Can you really just say that out loud?"
*
From the very first moment Mo Linxiao saw Mu Baiwei, he decided to kill her.
But her body was so warm that he decided, in a rare show of mercy, to let her live through the winter.
And yet she dared to leave without permission?!
He advanced on her step by step. Watching the woman’s trembling lashes, her gulp, and the terror in her eyes made the blood throughout his body shiver with excitement.
"Don’t worry. I’ll make sure you die very, "
"Look!"
The woman suddenly pulled out a rich, fragrant piece of Dongpo pork from behind her.
Mo Linxiao’s expression twisted for an instant. He pressed his lips together, his face flushing red as he tried to hold back, but the murderous look in his eyes swept over everything.
"Ugh!"
His figure vanished in an instant.
[Bonus Scene]
Everyone believed Mu Baiwei was doomed this time.
Mu Baiwei agreed.
Trembling, she pointed a small knife at the man who terrified everyone and stammered out a threat. "Spare my life and I’ll be your ox and horse!"
The next moment, the knife flew from her hand. The man pressed close, his slightly rounded belly against hers, and popped a grape into her mouth.
His voice brooked no argument. "Chew."
Mu Baiwei obeyed without thinking. The juicy grape burst in her mouth, its sweet, refreshing flavor filling it.
"Sweet?"
Mu Baiwei nodded like a pecking chicken.
Mo Linxiao stroked the back of her neck and pressed her firmly against his slightly protruding belly.
He smiled ominously. "Mm. He likes it too."
