Words in a Book, Pieces on a Board

Mu Wanyuan, a cool and aloof peerless prodigy, x Yu Xiyao, an enigmatic puppeteer (bottom Mu Wanyuan)

Mu Wanyuan only wants to survive in the world of a book. The three figures in her dreams are her only reason to keep going.

A girl who originally sought only to stay alive gradually enters the heart of the cultivation world, only to discover that she is no more than a carefully placed chess piece.

Then the System suddenly appears, and Su Jin, the original heroine with overlapping talents, shows up. Is this a gift from fate, or a deadly trap?

The fog before her grows thicker and thicker.

Forgetfulness comes before the promised day.

Yu Xiyao (smiling as she blinks): "A Yuan, if one day I'm gone, will you be sad?"

Mu Wanyuan (pausing as she wipes her sword): "How could that happen?"

Yu Xiyao (only smiles, saying nothing)

She sees through the ruthless workings of the Four Great Laws and touches the suffocating truth beneath the Five Elements Seal.

Time and space fall into chaos, the world shatters, and the prophecy comes true.

When the world has no future, when every deep affection is a scheme,

the girl who once only wanted to survive finally draws her bloodstained sword:

If this world is a game, then I'll flip the board.
