Chu Lingxiao transmigrates into the body of a junior sister in a xianxia world who has been unconscious for three years.
With no memories, she wakes up completely clueless, constantly on edge for fear that someone will discover an outsider's soul living in her body.
Fortunately, her master is in seclusion most of the time, and her senior brother has never suspected a thing.
Gradually letting down her guard, she spends three pleasant, lazy years on Huasong Mountain.
During a demon-slaying mission, Chu Lingxiao unexpectedly hears a shrill, noisy voice: [Oh my god! Master, did you see that? Your Dao companion is right there! The way she just swung her sword to slay that demon was so cool. Don't be shy, Master. Go for it!]
Chu Lingxiao is shocked. What Dao companion? Me?
After the shock, she is delighted. She knew she wasn't the only bug in this world!
One transmigrator has shown up. Surely someone with a System can't be far behind?
After three years here, someone has finally come to keep her company!
Chu Lingxiao excitedly searches for the source of the voice.
Until a demonic sword is held in front of her. Chu Lingxiao stops short and stiffly pulls back her wide, toothy grin.
She was wrong. This person seems more like a native.
.
Ever since Pei Yuezhen crawled out of his seal and casually grabbed an unknown creature to fill the gap, that creature has been pestering him.
It calls itself a System and claims he has a long-lost Dao companion waiting for him on the distant Huasong Mountain.
Pei Yuezhen naturally doesn't believe the nonsense spouted by this useless thing, which can't even form a physical body.
But the damn thing keeps yelling inside his head, making a huge racket, wailing and screaming. Unable to take it anymore, Pei Yuezhen forcibly tries to pull it out of his mind. The accursed thing clings to his nerves and refuses to budge, crying and shouting: [I've already bound myself to you. Unless you achieve the perfect Dao companion ending, I'm not leaving! Aaaah, stop pulling, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!]
Pei Yuezhen can't stand the disturbance. He even considers running a sword through his own head. In the end, with no other choice and at the end of his tether, he has to go find the Dao companion the thing keeps talking about.
.
When Pei Yuezhen finally finds and confirms the identity of his Dao companion, he can't help laughing wildly. Without a word, he gathers thick demonic energy in his palm and sends it hurtling toward her
[Aaaah! No! You're not allowed! We're supposed to be following the sweet, devoted, pure-love Dao companion route! Aaaah!]
The System lets out a piercing scream. The demonic sword vanishes in an instant, and Pei Yuezhen collapses to his knees, drained. Chu Lingxiao stares, eyes wide.
Pei Yuezhen looks up, his expression twisted with pain, and sees his Dao companion staring at him in disbelief, dawning realization on her face.
Pei Yuezhen: ...How embarrassing. What is she realizing?
Chu Lingxiao: You dared put a sword to my neck. Thirty seconds I'm on top, thirty seconds you're on top. Since we're going for pure love, I'll take the initiative!
Premise: Stay positive and keep striving to improve every day.
