Two powerful leads | Nontraditional cultivation | Reincarnation | Fake transmigration into a book
[Brilliant, lively, exceptionally capable junior sister × devoted, obsessive, beautiful but tragic demon king]
Zhu Li transmigrates into a novel she has never even read, is inexplicably bound to a System, and receives a mission: kill the "protagonist" who is about to awaken in the book.
Zhu Li: Can I refuse the mission?
System: Then the System will mark the mission as a failure, and you'll die of sudden cardiac arrest.
Zhu Li has no choice but to grit her teeth and accept the mission.
To gain strength on par with the "protagonist," Zhu Li begins her journey as a sword cultivator.
They say that ten years ago, Demon King Nangong Song defied the heavens to perform a resurrection ritual and save the woman he loved, bringing down a devastating heavenly punishment.
Love, status, strength: he has all the makings of a protagonist.
Zhu Li thinks to herself.
Before Zhu Li can seek out Nangong Song, he has already set his sights on her because she carries the demon clan's supreme treasure, the Luanling Sword.
Nangong Song intends to take the Luanling Sword back, but discovers that Zhu Li looks very much like his deceased wife, Nangong Yan.
Why does everyone say I'm the Demon King's long-dead first love?
No, I'm not.
The protagonist has awakened. Mission failed.
As heavenly lightning flashes overhead, Zhu Li looks up and decides to accept her fate. So the protagonist has awakened; I really can't stop it. But not a single bolt strikes me. The heavenly punishment is falling on someone else. Is this really still my mission???
[The male lead's perspective: When they meet again, Nangong Song believes it is a gift from heaven. Only when heavenly lightning flashes overhead for the second time does he realize that the true punishment is having his beloved die in his arms a second time.]
Theme: I cherish what is good in my heart, and though I face death nine times, I will not regret it.
