The Villain’s Right-Hand Man, but on the Protagonist’s Side

Also known as: Cultivation Through Proficiency [Book Transmigration]; I'm the Villain's Right-Hand, So Why Are You Telling Me I'm on the Wrong Side?; Everyone, Please Let Me Die Li Ye always thought she was acting in a new kind of show. Even though the actors in the show were so immersed in their roles that they seemed like real cultivators. Even though the plot deviated somewhat from the outline of the script she'd read. Even though the promised AI System had turned into a heartless proficiency-notification machine. Drawing talismans: [Talisman Drawing Proficiency +1] Playing with a wooden stick: [Sword Control Proficiency +1] Getting beaten by monsters: [Body Tempering Proficiency +20] Once her proficiency reached a certain level, it would advance, and higher ranks would grant her special talents. But Li Ye just thought it was all part of her character. After all, her character in the show was Li Jinge's sole confidante, a genius with extraordinary talent and profound cultivation. Being good at everything seemed perfectly normal for his one and only confidante. Li Jinge, the second son of the Li family, was born with a warrior's bones and was cold and ruthless. Everyone said that those born with warrior's bones could command all the world's divine weapons, making them the strongest people in existence. But he couldn't do it. Those warrior's bones weren't his at all. Ever since he began cultivating, whenever he fell asleep, he would see a pair of eyes. They were incredibly beautiful, but the gaze they turned on him was always full of hatred and murderous intent. He thought that if he ever met the owner of those eyes, he would have to kill them first. Until the day he really met her. Looking at the unguarded trust in her eyes and hearing her swear her loyalty to him... He wavered. Maybe the dream had been wrong? When the whole world wanted him dead, she was the only one who stood by his side. "Even if she really does want to kill me, I owe her that much." After Li Ye finally became Li Jinge's sole confidante, she unexpectedly learned what was supposed to happen after her character's role ended. So it turned out she was on the protagonist's side all along. She'd become the villain's sole confidante so she could kill him later. She looked at the young man lying beside her, completely unguarded. After several attempts, she still couldn't bring herself to do it. Sorry, screenwriter. I'm defecting. P.S.: 1. My kind of strong female lead. The death she thinks awaits her early on is just her character's role ending. 2. A wish-fulfillment story with a beloved heroine. 3. I'm not great at updating consistently, but I'll try to do better. Read at your own discretion. *Click into this author's profile and gain +3 virtue points.* Theme: Love what you do, whatever the job.
