Ning Chengxue, the junior sister of Lingyun Immortal Sect, fell from immortality into demonic cultivation. She mastered three thousand wicked arts, wreaked havoc across the immortal realm, and became a great demon whom everyone wanted dead.
Ning Chengxue thought she would ultimately die at the hands of her gloomy, strange senior brother, whom she had tormented for years. But who could have guessed that her gentle, jade-like senior brother, a man as bright as the moon, would strike first?
One blow pierced her heart, leaving her half a step from death.
And so the great demon Ning Chengxue died a miserable, wretched death on a barren mountain.
Time passed, and Lingyun Immortal Sect continued to grow until it became the greatest sect in the immortal realm.
Trapped on that barren mountain as an earthbound ghost, Ning Chengxue was so furious she nearly spat blood. Before she died, Lingyun Immortal Sect had fewer than a hundred people. Now look at it!
Her senior brother had become the leader of the immortal sects, revered by countless people. Her second senior sister had founded a sect of her own and become its head, guarding an entire region. Her junior senior brother had topped the immortal sects' power rankings and become a peerless powerhouse. And she was stuck as a pathetic earthbound ghost, unable to reincarnate or come back to life.
Watching those old acquaintances bask in glory, Ning Chengxue wished she could kill them all ten thousand times over and use their bodies as stepping stones.
Then, one day, strange signs appeared in the sky. Dark clouds gathered over the barren mountain, thunder crashed, and torrential rain poured down. Ning Chengxue watched in astonishment as a summoning array emerged from the earth, and felt her long-dried spiritual bones slowly begin to grow again.
When she opened her eyes once more,
a thick stench of blood filled the air. Feeling spiritual power surging through her, she was overjoyed, thinking she had come back to life. The next moment, she realized she was soaking in a blood pool, both hands chained up, while the person she hated most stood on the bank: her junior senior brother, Xi Yuanzhou.
Xi Yuanzhou crouched down, lifted her chin between his fingers, and narrowed his eyes with a smile.
"Long time no see, junior sister."

Only after Song Chengxue died did she learn that she was a supporting character in a storybook, and a vicious female supporting character at that, whose sole purpose was to torment the male lead.
That's right, her junior senior brother was the legendary male lead: a proud, invincible hero with a tragic past, an aloof and cold personality, and only one goal in life, cultivation. He would gradually face-slap one foolish cannon-fodder character after another and ascend to immortality.
And the reason she died so horribly was that Xi Yuanzhou had used a secret technique to control their senior brother and make him kill her, avoiding the stain of having brutally murdered his junior sister himself.
Song Chengxue: ...She and Xi Yuanzhou were sworn enemies.
She vowed that if she ever lived again, she would make sure to kill that bastard.
So what if he was number one? Her cultivation technique just wasn't complete yet. Once it was, the tables would turn, and they'd all kneel and beg her to spare their lives.
Twenty-five years ago, Xi Yuanzhou wasn't even worthy of carrying her shoes. And he's the male lead? She refused to accept it.
And then she really did come back to life.
And Xi Yuanzhou was the one who brought her back.
Why would the invincible male lead save the vicious female supporting character?!
