Mu Jinyue was once the most celebrated prodigy of Xuanqing Sect, peerlessly graceful, his robes fluttering as he moved.
He could sweep his sword across the starry river. He should have been riding proudly through the immortal realm, sword in hand.
Who would have thought that a run of bad luck would bind him to a Mary Sue System?
His enemies came after him. Just as he was about to unleash his peerless swordsmanship, a bolt of lightning struck, sealing away all of Mu Jinyue's cultivation.
[You have successfully bound to the Mary Sue System!]
[Your tears are priceless. Your vulnerability captivates everyone.]
[A qualified Mary Sue never fights for herself. You only need to be beautiful, fragile, and heartbreakingly pitiful. Others will fall in love with you one after another, willing to die for you.]
[Plot detected: Hero Saves the Beauty! Host, shed the most innocent tears and assume the most graceful pose as you welcome the hero who is yours!]
Mu Jinyue: "What kind of bullsh, "
He opened his mouth to swear, and a bolt of lightning struck him.
[Dear Host, Mary Sues must not use profanity~]
Nearby, the dazed young woman heard a voice in her mind.
[You have successfully bound to the Chosen One System!]
[Your sword should cut down all obstacles. Your path should be one of relentless advance.]
[A qualified Chosen One never admits defeat or retreats. Take up your sword and save the beauty!]
Chu He stood frozen in place.
She looked down. At some point, Mu Jinyue's broken sword had slid to her feet, its hilt facing her as if waiting for her to reach out.
Chu He: ...Who's the hero?
Chu He: Me?

If you can't beat them, join them.
Later, Mu Jinyue became more and more accustomed to the Mary Sue System.
Enemies came after them, blades flashing.
Mu Jinyue tripped at just the right moment. His loose hair brushed his cheek, his eyes reddened, and tears glimmered in them.
He gave a soft, pitiful whimper. "Oh dear."
Chu He drew her sword and rushed forward, her robes billowing, her blade's light as fierce as a river of stars.
She pointed her sword at them, her voice cold and fearless. "Who dared hurt my senior brother!"
Reader's guide:
1. This novel isn't intended to put down Mary Sues or Chosen Ones. Mary Sues are great, and Chosen Ones are great too. The Mary Sue and Chosen One scenes in the story serve the plot. (awkward laugh)
2. Not a strong female lead.
3. Happy ending.
Theme: Help the timid become brave, and the arrogant become humble.
The two of them haven't opened up to each other yet and are still in the stage of getting familiar with each other. Chu He, come on,
"Most ordinary disciples have mixed spiritual roots,..." This is a big bug for the author~
