Overworked office drone Jiang Xu stayed up late and died suddenly, only to transmigrate into a trashy cultivation novel as a cannon-fodder bride who doesn't survive three chapters. She is forced to marry the antagonist, Xie Xuan, and is doomed to be "killed to prove his Dao."
But she doesn't die. Xie Xuan lifts her veil and signs a "cultivation partners' contract" with her. "We're both pawns. Why not form an alliance and get what we need?"
She binds herself to a "Light Sign-in System" that makes her stronger with every daily sign-in. But a greater secret lies behind the System: the book she transmigrated into is a "script" rewritten by Xie Xuan, who had already been reborn.
The Road of Return, the Creator God, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, three layers of circuits, twelve arc-shaped engravings... Following the old path, she walks step by step back to the forgotten starting point, only to discover that the end of the road is not the destination, but an old inscription left on an ancient stone pedestal: "Return, return! Traveler, to walk is also to return."
Forced marriage after transmigrating into a book x reborn antagonist x System x unraveling the Road of Return x two people finding their way to each other. The road is complete, and so is the return. At last, she and he can sit together and admire the pear blossoms.
Theme: The journey of return is a complete cycle. The road may be finished, but life goes on. Departure and return meet on the same path, and for those walking the road home, the journey itself is home.
