Shi Ying has just finished the college entrance exams when he transmigrates into a cultivation novel as the cannon-fodder junior disciple of its arrogant protagonist. The junior disciple appears no more than three times in the whole book. He's cannon fodder among cannon fodder.
As soon as he arrives, Shi Ying is standing with the other junior disciples, watching the arrogant protagonist choose a sword at the Sword Pavilion. Seeing swords flying all over the sky, the country bumpkin Shi Ying can't help muttering, "Whoa, now this is a spectacle."
To his surprise, as soon as he says it, the arrogant protagonist stops choosing a sword and walks straight over to him, his expression difficult to read. "That line wasn't in the script."
Sang Jing discovers in despair that he is trapped forever on the day of the sword selection.
No matter where he runs or what he does, everything resets the next morning.
During those despairing days, Sang Jing once lost his mind and became a monster, killing everyone he met and turning the sect into a living hell before taking his own life with his sword.
But the next day, the senior disciple whose head Sang Jing had chopped off warmly takes his hand and says they should go choose their swords.
After a long silence, Sang Jing says yes, his voice bitter.
From then on, he quietly hones all kinds of skills, feeling his heart wither a little more with every cycle.
Shi Ying discovers that ever since the day of the sword selection, the arrogant protagonist has suddenly started sticking to him, his cannon-fodder junior disciple, all day long.
Even during spellcraft class, the protagonist idly plays with the strands of Shi Ying's hair draped over his arm.
The teacher at the front of the class flies into a rage. "Sang Jing, show me how your spell practice is coming along."
Sang Jing thinks for a moment, then conjures a fireball.
Shi Ying's eyes widen in shock. Did he just conjure a sun?
