After dying, Bai Mu transmigrated into a book as Mu Yuanxi's sacrificial disciple.

The original Bai Mu's love was intense and obsessive. Her entire heart and mind belonged to her master.

But after she gave her life to shield Mu Yuanxi from the tribulation lightning, her soul scattered, and all that wholehearted love was met with Mu Yuanxi's unchanging coldness.

Bai Mu knew how her story was supposed to end, but Heaven's Will told her that she could be reincarnated only if she helped Mu Yuanxi find happiness.

So every day, she thought about how not to annoy Mu Yuanxi, how to keep her distance, and how to bring Mu Yuanxi and the other heroine together to raise her happiness score.

But gradually, she noticed that Mu Yuanxi no longer kept her at arm's length or looked at her with disgust. Was she even starting to show her affection?

When the tribulation clouds gathered, Bai Mu meant to sit back and watch, but the other heroine also stood by and did nothing.

With no one coming to help, Mu Yuanxi was on the verge of death, and Bai Mu's chance to be reincarnated was about to vanish too. Bai Mu had no choice but to charge into the lightning herself. To avoid being obliterated, she swallowed a mountain of pills.

Fortunately, she survived. But what she hadn't expected was that Mu Yuanxi didn't go to check on the other heroine, who had also shielded her. Instead, she kept watch by Bai Mu's bedside day after day.

She even touched Bai Mu while she was unconscious and confessed her feelings to her.

Wait! Is this how the plot is supposed to go?

Bai Mu couldn't believe her ears. She tried to escape, but the lightning had left her body weak and limp, and she didn't have the strength to get up.

Mu Yuanxi sat at her bedside, cupping her face. Her voice was so soft it was almost bewitching. "Don't leave me. Be just like you were before, cling to me and tell me you love me, okay?"

Mu Yuanxi had noticed Bai Mu changing, and she thought it was a good thing.

But once everything around her returned to normal, she realized that some habits had already sunk into her bones, and she couldn't forget them even if she tried.

She watched Bai Mu stop revolving around her and spend every day running to another woman's room.

The care and concern Bai Mu had once shown her were now lavished on someone else, while Bai Mu went out of her way to avoid her.

Mu Yuanxi felt a sadness she couldn't put into words. She began wishing Bai Mu would stop avoiding her and cling to her like she used to.

But the more she approached, the more Bai Mu avoided her. That made her realize Bai Mu really didn't love her anymore. What she'd missed was truly gone.

On the day of the tribulation, just as Mu Yuanxi was about to give in, Bai Mu suddenly threw herself in front of her without hesitation and smiled. "Master, be happy!"

So Bai Mu hadn't stopped loving her. Mu Yuanxi had only hurt her too deeply for her to dare love again. That's what Mu Yuanxi thought.

Thankfully, the tribulation succeeded, and Bai Mu came through safely. This time, though, Mu Yuanxi was the one who wouldn't leave her alone...
