[Blurb]
One day, Luo Muyan discovers that she's the supporting female character in a storybook, and that the older brother she grew up with and has confessed her feelings to is actually the male lead!
She has been passing herself off as the heroine and constantly asking for trouble. After getting thoroughly face-slapped, she's destined to be swallowed by a demon beast.
Looking at her gentle older brother, she thinks that he can't possibly be so heartless.
But the plot starts developing in a strange direction, neither quite right nor quite wrong.
Luo Chenmu has a dream in which his beloved is killed. Determined not to let the dream come true, he decides to strike first and kill the culprit. But that girl is unbelievably hard to kill. Somehow, rumors spread through the Five Immortal Realms that he risked his life to save her. Then his beloved goes from calling him "Brother" to "Luo Chenmu!" and finally, "Fellow Daoist, who are you?"
Luo Chenmu: The rumors are all false. I was only trying to protect you by killing her. I didn't expect her to be so hard to kill. Do you believe me?
Luo Muyan: Heh.
A sweet little story about a male lead who wants to kill the supporting female character to protect the heroine, but keeps failing because the supporting character is so hard to kill.
The male and female leads pretend to be siblings, and the heroine is the real powerhouse.
"Mini Theater"
Soul Sword Sect
Luo Chenmu lies weakly in bed, thinking: This time I sacrificed half my life. If she still hasn't passed on to immortality, I'll punish myself by not seeing Mu Mu for three days after I recover.
Just then, a young girl pushes open the door and rushes to his bedside. "Brother Mu, you saved me again! You've saved me so many times. I don't even know how to repay you. The only thing I can do is..."
Luo Chenmu spits out a mouthful of blood, cutting off what she was about to say.
"Brother Mu, what's wrong? Sect Master, Brother Mu has fainted again!"
No Cultivation Sect
"Have you heard? Luo Chenmu, the best-looking guy in the Soul Sword Sect, got injured saving his junior sister again."
"I heard he nearly lost half his life this time!"
"A hero saving a beauty! How romantic!"
"Young Sect Master, when are we setting off for the Soul Sword Sect? I've packed everything."
"No need. I'll go collect my brother's body after he dies." Luo Muyan thinks of the gossip she just overheard among the disciples and laughs coldly.
Theme: Trying doesn't guarantee success, but not trying guarantees failure. Keep fighting, even after repeated defeats.
I didn't understand the ending. Is this going back to the past? Or is it trapped in an infinite loop like "Terror Cruise"? It feels quite miserable?
