Gu Zhengzheng transmigrated into a book.
Bad news: Her original body's spiritual root had been stolen, and she'd been bound to a hand-crafted fortune-refining Artifact Refining System alongside her nemesis, Wei Yuan.
Good news: She could go home once she completed the artifact-refining tasks.
Bad news: The original body's story ended halfway through.
Good news: With fortune on her side, a casual flick of her wrist could produce incredibly powerful firearms.
Bad news: Kicked out by her sect, she had nowhere to go, and her nemesis Wei Yuan, who had also transmigrated, forcibly bound their life fires together.
Good news: Her nemesis Wei Yuan hired her at a high salary.
Gu Zhengzheng: (-?-)…
And one more bit of good news: She and her nemesis Wei Yuan formed an alliance to stay alive.
After surviving a secret realm where death seemed certain at every turn, the fallen Artifact Sect rose to prominence.
The original novel's villain: "Impossible. The will of Heaven cannot be defied!"
Gu Zhengzheng: "A tide of corpses is coming! Blah blah, grab your weapons!"
A crowd of cannon fodder shouted, "Defy fate and change our lot!"
The original novel's villain: "You're serious?"
Later, Wei Yuan left the sect, then returned.
Wei Yuan tugged at her sleeve. "Hurry up and beg me to stay! This time, I'm back for good!"
Gu Zhengzheng rose onto her toes and patted his head. "Good boy. This time, you won't leave!"
Cold-faced, scheming Artifact Ancestor x clear-headed, survival-minded working girl
"You!" Wei Yuan instantly bristled. "Don't touch me whenever you like!"
Gu Zhengzheng: "I'll touch you if I want."
He gave in. "An Artifact Ancestor's head is precious. Who told you that you could touch it whenever you wanted? Be more careful next time..."
"Careful about what?"
"Ever since you secretly touched me that first time, you're responsible for me. Dummy!"
