The day Lu Xixi transmigrated into the role of a cannon-fodder character, she knew she was going to die.
In the original story, the male lead learned the truth that had been hidden from him for three hundred years and turned evil, massacring the whole sect. Her cannon-fodder character died without a sound. She was there, so she died.
She wanted to run. She couldn't.
Then she would live. How? Break up the CP. If she cut the chain of "falling out → digging up old records → uncovering the truth → turning evil," she wouldn't have to die.
She tried her very best to break them up. It all went spectacularly wrong.
Before he turned evil, the male lead started paying attention to her. Not the way you'd look at a cannon-fodder character. It was the kind of attention where he was always there wherever she went, paused when she chatted and laughed with someone else, and brought her medicine when she got hurt, his hand trembling slightly.
She thought he was investigating her. She was afraid of him and avoided him.
What she didn't know was that when she transmigrated, something left behind in the forbidden grounds had clung to her, making her the only person who could calm the restlessness inside him. When she came close, he calmed down.
She was still trying to break up the CP.
He was already trying to break her.
Only later did she learn that breaking up the CP was just the first step.
She was the medicine he needed.
And every time he took this medicine, there was a little less of it left.
