The transmigrate-into-a-book System said, "Yan Ke, you were a chatterbox in your last life. This time, you'll transmigrate into the male lead's aloof white moonlight. To maintain your icy persona, you can only say 50 words a day. Go over the limit, and you'll be forced to sleep for a month."
Yan Ke: ???
The System: "I'll also give you a golden finger: you can hear the thoughts of anyone speaking to you."
From then on, Yan Ke became the beautiful, taciturn, aloof fairy admired by all the disciples.
She was named the year's outstanding disciple, and an elder asked her to give a speech at the welcoming ceremony.
She stepped onto the stage and kept it brief: "This sect is good. Very good. Thanks for asking."
Everyone: ???
The male lead in the book kept bothering Yan Ke. He was tangled up with the female lead while also confessing his feelings to her.
She could hear the male lead thinking, "They're both great. I don't know which one to choose." So she snapped, "The female lead is mine. You get the hell out!"
Who knew the female lead was hiding behind a rock and would come trembling out...

Yan Ke went out on a training expedition and ran into Lin Yang, the beautiful, tragic young Demon King from the book. He was poisoned and had impaired vision, so he captured her to scout the way for him.
To avoid trouble, she pretended to be mute and took every chance along the way to try to kill him before he became the great Demon King.
But after she got away from him, she discovered that he'd planted a love-gu inside her. As long as she was away from him, she would love and yearn for him until it felt like ants were gnawing at her bones. When she was near him, she returned to normal.
She skipped a thousand words of furious cursing: Damn it!

Lin Yang was adopted by his master as a child. He accidentally learned that his master saw him as nothing but an animal and intended to kill him sooner or later.
He swore to destroy his master and the cultivation clan he served. From then on, his heart was swallowed by hatred.
Until he met that mute girl who couldn't speak but knew how to act, who cared for him attentively and treated him with kindness.
So small and weak, yet bright as the morning sun and gentle as a breeze.
He decided to keep her body first, then win her heart.
He had no idea this would become the decision he regretted most in his life.
[Reading Guide: This is not an angsty story, and the female lead won't suffer. At most, the male lead gets put through some angst, so dive right in.]
