After the Tragic Novel's Heroine Faked Her Death

Fu Ji transmigrates into a book, becoming the genius junior sister of the Penglai Immortal Sect. She thinks she's been handed the script for a feel-good story, but when faced with the classic "choose one of two" dilemma, the senior brother who grew up with her and shared life-and-death trials chooses someone else. "A Fu, hang on. I'll be back to save you soon." The Demon Venerable abducts Fu Ji, the one who was abandoned, and lets her struggle as she falls into the Demon Abyss. Trapped in endless darkness and solitude, Fu Ji is forced to begin a long wait. Then a thing claiming to be a System binds itself to her, and from that day on, Fu Ji can see a live comment feed every day. [Waaah, my precious girl!] [I kind of hope Fufu would just die like this. Let her be put out of her misery already.] [The only HE in this story is Fu Ji dying, so those scumbag men regret everything forever!] It turns out she's the heroine of an angst-heavy cultivation novel, beloved by readers for her perseverance, gentleness, and strength. The System says, "So the author is thinking of faking your death! When you show up in your second life, the powerful Demon Venerable will fall in love with you and help you get revenge on the scumbag men." Fu Ji is confused. "But he's a ruthless killer who uses cruel methods. I don't want to be with him." The System says, "But he'll marry you as his Demon Consort and take you with him when he ascends!" It describes this love as a fortune falling from the heavens. But she still doesn't understand... If the point is to get revenge on the scumbag men, why does she have to die? * After the genius junior sister of the Penglai Immortal Sect falls into the Demon Abyss, her entire sect is consumed by regret. Her senior brother, the foremost cultivator of the Daoist sects, refuses to accept that she's dead and searches for her like a madman. Three hundred years after her disappearance, an unknown new champion appears at the Immortal Terrace Sword Tournament. A sword in her left hand, a cinnabar mark between her brows. She stills the waters with a single strike, just like Fu Ji, the former foremost disciple of Penglai, who once amazed everyone. The sword master seated at Penglai's head table instantly turns red-eyed. * According to the plot, after Fu Ji is reborn, the Demon Venerable will fall in love with her at first sight at the Immortal Terrace Sword Tournament. To protect the immortal sects and prevent innocent disciples from being killed or injured, the Fu Ji in the book voluntarily surrenders and is abducted to the Demon Realm, where the Demon Venerable keeps her in pampered comfort. In the end, they get their HE. That night, countless demon soldiers reveal their bloodthirsty faces, just as expected. But the moment they break into the mountain gate, the protective formation, which had already been destroyed, suddenly springs back to life. Daoist disciples who have been lying in wait pour in from every direction-- With his plan exposed, the Demon Venerable flies into a rage and charges into the formation, ready to slaughter everyone. In the blink of an eye, someone unleashes a sword strike powerful enough to topple the heavens, sending him flying. The black-clad Demon Venerable drops to one knee. Blood beads at the corner of his mouth, and he looks battered, but his gaze at the black-robed sword cultivator three feet away remains arrogant and full of certainty that she will be his. "Fu Ji, you have made this venerable one--" But before he can finish, another sword comes crashing down on his head. The once-arrogant Demon Venerable spits blood and collapses. Through his blurred vision, all he can see is a pair of immaculate, gold-embroidered boots. She strolls up to him at her leisure, then slowly and deliberately grinds her long boot over his fingers. "Thank you for the regard, but I cultivate the Ruthless Dao."
