Synopsis
Bad news: I transmigrated into a book. Good news: The original owner is still here.
-
Song Langyu transmigrated into a book as a nameless demon cultivator who was meant to be sacrificed right at the start of the original story.
It was bad enough that the moment he opened his eyes, a group of cultivators were chasing him down to kill him.
He could accept being saddled with more than a hundred million in debt by a useless System that had swindled him.
He’d transmigrated more than ten years too early, with the main plot all the way at the end of the book, but... well, he could accept that too.
Song Langyu closed his eyes and decided to accept his fate. What else could he do?
After finally escaping his pursuers, he thought he might get a moment of peace.
He looked up and saw a sinister figure crouched above him.
It was practically like running into a ghost. Song Langyu sprang to his feet and asked, “Who are you?”
The other person scoffed. His icy voice and the System’s shocked voice rang out at the same time:
“You stole my body, and you’re asking who I am?”
[Wait! Why is the original owner still here?!]
Song Langyu: “...?”
Song Langyu wanted to hang the System up and beat it. You useless System, I backed off a few steps and now you’re really stepping on my head?!
-
After the brainless System was cursed out by the original owner and ran away for the whole night, it returned and announced:
[After a long night of deep reflection and discussions between the System and, we have finally decided, ]
[To bind the original owner as well!]
Not only that, it also tied a red thread between the two of them.
Song Langyu asked, “What does the mute button mean?”
He looked down at the red thread, like a ring, around his ring finger. “And what is this?!”
The System didn’t answer. It only wished them a friendly relationship,
then ran off after exhausting its energy.
-
*Question: What should you do if the System forces you into an arranged marriage with the original owner?
*Answer: Please fall in love after marriage, and fall hard.
-
After that, the two of them were exploited by the System so badly they were practically slaves, if not worse.
One day,
Song Langyu was busy running around doing missions and was too exhausted to walk.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinsheng crouched down and offered to carry him back to his room.
Song Langyu was naturally happy to take it easy, but less than three seconds after climbing onto his back, the System inexplicably began sighing about the pair’s relationship, which was practically like a home invasion.
Except Song Langyu had been forced to break in, and the body he’d stolen belonged to Xiao Jinsheng.
Song Langyu: “?”
Xiao Jinsheng: “...”
System: [Haha, why are you glaring at me?]
As expected, the System got beaten up badly.
PS:
● One-on-one romance, both are virgins, happy ending.
● My own take on cultivation. The whole story is full of original worldbuilding, running wild like an untethered horse.
● It’s probably a story about marrying first (not really), raising a kid, and making a patchwork family. Sometimes it’s chaotic, sometimes peaceful and happy. Then, unexpectedly, the husband leaves, and I cry while the child cries too. They reunite and return to a happy life. A story about falling in love after marriage, perhaps (?)
● This needs to be highlighted: [The child was picked up] [Picked up] [Picked up].
● There isn’t much childcare in the story. It mainly focuses on the leads, so the child won’t steal the spotlight. Don’t worry~
Theme: Freedom, equality, and justice

Why hasn't the author updated?
The original owner received positive reviews in the second chapter, but the author's need to conceal information and create suspense doesn't mean they won't tell the readers anything... It feels like many things are as confusing and inexplicable as the protagonist's situation; at least give us a little hint! [Laughing and crying emoji]
Looks so good! [Question mark] Speaking of which, what is Xiao's true identity? Is there really a conspiracy? How will the original plot proceed?
Is this a conversation between one person or two people?
The attack has turned into a little dragon in two chapters already 😣
Oh no, are these two breaking up? 😭😭
It must be another illusion. [Cat emoji]
Is it still midnight? It feels a bit strange. Could it still be a hallucination?
Them? And the cast changed in another segment too?
Will the uke have his own body later on? 😣
