Before bed, Mo Jingchun opened a novel hailed as the definitive work of the "chasing-your-wife-to-the-crematorium" genre: The Substitute Immortal Healer Quits.
That promise of a "chasing-your-wife-to-the-crematorium" plot kept Mo Jingchun reading all the way to the extras, but in the end, she realized she'd been fooled!
Of the novel's three million words, 2.98 million were spent torturing the heroine, five thousand were supposedly devoted to the male lead's remorse, and a whopping fifteen thousand made up a sugary, happy-ending extra!?
How the hell could this end happily!?
This was unforgivable!
Furious, Mo Jingchun opened her computer and hammered out a ten-thousand-word review, cursing as she typed: naming names and insulting the dog of a man, telling him to die!!!
When she opened her eyes again, Mo Jingchun discovered she'd transmigrated! She had become the heroine of The Substitute Immortal Healer Quits, and she was right at one of the story's most torturous moments for the heroine.
In the story, the heroine discovers that she's not only a stand-in for the second female lead, but also a container for her heart. She goes mad and tries to hurt the second female lead, but fails. Instead, her own heart is cut out, and she's thrown off a cliff.
This plot point torments readers mercilessly. Before the male lead cuts out the heroine's heart, she asks him in despair, "Was there ever a time, even just once, when you saw me as me?"
He answers cruelly, "No." The light finally goes out in the heroine's beautiful eyes.
Now Mo Jingchun has become the heroine. The male lead is about to cut out her heart. Seeing that she wants to say something, he waits for her last words.
Mo Jingchun unleashes a torrent of abuse. Her last words crash down like a landslide and a tidal wave: "You damn piece of trash! I'll kick your ass so hard it'll reach the heavens!"
Then Mo Jingchun gathers her strength and kicks away the male lead, who is too stunned to react after being cursed out in four different dialects in a single sentence. She jumps off the cliff herself.
My heart is mine. I'd rather die than give it to you, damn bastard! You're good for nothing!
When she opens her eyes again, Mo Jingchun finds herself lying at the bottom of an unfathomable abyss, barely alive. But she isn't the one having the worst time. Someone nearby is in even worse shape, with dozens of iron chains piercing his chest and his flesh hanging in bloody shreds.
Yet this stubborn, battle-scarred guy is still tossing himself pills to restore his energy!
Mo Jingchun is green with envy. "Friend, have you ever heard the saying, 'Give someone a rose, and its fragrance stays on your hand'?"
Hearing her, Zhongli Guang pauses and looks with interest at the dying girl.
Mo Jingchun thinks he doesn't understand, so she gets straight to the point. "Ahem, friend, could I have one of those pills?"
"A Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill? What will you trade for it?"
"I... I'll teach you how to curse people? In three days, you'll be a master. I guarantee that in three sentences, you'll have those bastards who sealed you here so rattled they'll shut themselves away!"
"Give me seven days, and I'll teach you the ultimate skill of my life: 'Cursing Beasts to Death'! You'll never have to draw your sword again. You can wipe out countless pathetic nobodies without lifting a finger!"
"Interesting..."
Zhongli Guang, the great villain bent on destroying the world, lived a life of unrestrained mayhem and loved causing destruction. Wherever there was a commotion, he was there, and he always turned the fun into a tragedy.
Eight hundred years ago, bored out of his mind, he surrendered when the righteous sects surrounded him.
For eight hundred years, bored out of his mind, he played by himself in his sealed prison and never once thought of leaving.
Eight hundred years later, by a twist of fate, he caught a little ray of sunshine who could keep him entertained, make him laugh, and keep him company for meals and fun...
So he decided to leave his prison and show off his little ray of sunshine to every ordinary person in the world!
One day, the villain, heroine, and male lead gather in one place.
"That's him, that little worm! He was going to cut out my heart!"
"Hmm? You're the one who wanted to cut the heart out of my little ray of sunshine? That tumor on your neck is getting on my nerves."
