It was Ye Luyao's sixth year since he transmigrated when the golden finger every transmigrator was supposed to get finally showed up, fashionably late.
[Beep! The domineering CEO's kept songbird System is at your service!]
Wait, what kind of System did you say you were?
What? You want me, a menial disciple who's reliably broke, to keep the sect's Immortal Venerable, who could kill me with a single slap, like a songbird in a cage?
This golden finger has turned into a rotten finger. What kind of life-threatening mission is this? No way am I doing it!
[Beep! If the System runs out of energy, it will shut down. The Host will also shut down permanently.]
Permanent shutdown means falling into a deep sleep, unable to eat or drink until the body starves to death and begins to rot.
Ye Luyao: Fine, you win!
Chu Jihan can hear the System's voice. Whatever this untraceable thing is, it's set its sights on him and wants to keep him as a caged songbird.
He finds an excuse to transfer Ye Luyao to his side, keeping him under close watch while waiting to see what the System is really after.
One day, a disciple accidentally witnesses the following scene.
The Immortal Venerable, rumored to be aloof and cold as an immortal, and never one to crack a smile, is pinned against the wall by the attendant disciple at his side, who has the audacity to tip up his chin.
"Careful, man. You're playing with fire."
Good grief! The disciple not only fails to see the Immortal Venerable glare and kill the attendant on the spot, but actually sees him blush!
Shocked, the disciple bolts, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.
Little does anyone know that Ye Luyao doesn't even dare look at the Immortal Venerable. The line is so embarrassingly cringey that he feels like he could curl his toes into the shape of an entire sect.
[Beep! Today's pin-against-the-wall mission is complete. Well done, Host!]
Trembling, Ye Luyao closes his eyes and waits for the Immortal Venerable to fling him away.
I'm tired. Let's just end it all.
1. Wondering why the cover looks different from the other books in my collection? My writing's so unpopular I'm freezing in the northwest wind, and nobody's commissioning a cover, so I drew one myself (QAQ).
2. The Road Here was my first attempt at getting a novel approved, but it didn't work out. I love the idea, though. I don't have the time to start a third project right now, so I'll leave it here and write it later.
3. If you're passing by and it sounds interesting, please add it to your collection.
4. One-on-one romance, happy ending, both are each other's first love, and they belong to each other in body and heart.
Theme: May every heartfelt longing find an answer
