After Pei Qingzhu died, his consciousness remained. As a beta tester, he transmigrated into a highly open-ended xianxia game with only one mission: kill the great demon and avenge the master and senior brother of the character he was playing.
The character happened to share his name. He was the second-in-command of his sect, sickly and frail, but possessed a unique skill: poisonous praise. Anyone he complimented would meet with disaster.
Before transmigrating, Pei Qingzhu: This is that easy? Great, I'll grind my trash talk to the max level and go take my enemy's head.
After transmigrating, he was carried off in a grand bridal sedan by his sect and sold to the great demon who had killed his father and brother. His first night in this other world was his wedding night.
What kind of ridiculous development is this?
System: Don't panic. There are three prerequisites for completing the revenge mission.
First, you must maintain a married relationship with the great demon for one hundred days.
Second, during those one hundred days, you must make the great demon fall deeply in love with you.
Third, after he falls in love with you, make him watch you kill him with his own eyes.
Pei Qingzhu: I choose to quit the game.
System: After completing the mission, you'll have a chance to win a huge cash prize and regain your real body.
Pei Qingzhu: I'm back.
A friendly reminder: Besides you, there are ninety-nine other testers who have transmigrated into the game to play the same character and complete the same mission. But there's only one winner of the final reward. In other words, before you complete the mission, you'll have to survive a hundred-person slaughter.
Surprised? Thrilled? Didn't see that coming?
Goofy version: "Sweetheart, I'll hold on to your money pouch for you," a thief gong x a poisonous praise shou who says, "Anyone I've blessed is sure to die tonight"
Serious version: A shameless rogue, righteous and wicked by turns, a chameleon gong x a cunning, scheming shou who acts like a sick kitten while really being a tiger
