Zhou Zhili unexpectedly transmigrates into the cultivation novel Immortal Love, taking over the body of the vicious female supporting character everyone in the book despises.
The moment she opens her eyes, she is pushed onto the chessboard of fate and ordered to marry Ling Xiaomo, the leader of the Black Nether Sect and the book's greatest villain. She struggles to flee the wedding, but ultimately cannot escape her constraints. The two make a six-month pact: she must cultivate Moonlight Peony to heal his long-standing meridian injuries, while also completing the System's romance mission.
As they spend their days together, the distance between them gradually fades amid the little moments of daily life. An accidental kiss after a drunken night sends ripples through their hearts, and her romance-target affection rating suddenly soars. But she gradually uncovers the truth: she is a descendant of the Cangli Goddess, who vanished a thousand years ago.
The goddess's bloodline has always been the root of strife in the world, coveted by countless people. Zhou Zhili grows fearful and can only deliberately distance herself, suppressing the feelings beginning to bloom within her.
She secretly vows that no matter what ending the original story has set, she will not only escape the death ordained for the female supporting character, but also rewrite Ling Xiaomo's fate with her own hands.
Together, they travel in search of the surviving fragments of the Cangli Goddess's spirit. The Moonlight Peony finally reaches maturity, and Ling Xiaomo's injuries gradually heal.
But a spy within the Black Nether Sect discovers their secret and secretly reports the news of her goddess bloodline to the daughter of the Qinglan Sect's leader. Rumors spread, and the righteous sects condemn her as an ill omen who brings disaster. They close in on her, forcing her to go to the Qinglan Sect.
A carefully laid trap awaits. The Qinglan Sect leader sets up a deadly formation, hoping to extract the goddess blood from her and use it to cultivate the art of immortality. As the formation's light envelops her, countless arrows of spiritual power pierce her soul. Zhou Zhili endures excruciating pain, her spirit on the verge of dispersing.
At the brink of life and death, the ancient ring on her finger suddenly shatters, and the formation's defenses collapse with a roar.
Ling Xiaomo comes crashing through the clouds and mist, standing alone before her and telling her to escape first. Fighting the thousands of cultivators of the entire Qinglan Sect alone, he battles to the end. The sect leader dies, and Ling Xiaomo exhausts his spiritual power, becoming a wisp of a wavering spirit.
At that very moment, the System's cold announcement rings in her mind:
[Romance target Ling Xiaomo: 100% affection.]
There's a second book, too. Look forward to it, everyone.
Theme: Trapped in a predetermined game of fate, the two break free of the original plot and overcome the barriers between their identities to save each other. They fight the world's greed and prejudice, proving that love can defy fate and that two people moving toward each other can rewrite the ending.
