After Shen Yu, the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect, dies, she and her many male companions are unexpectedly reborn in the world of a Jinjiang novel.
Only after living a second life does she learn that she is the short-lived second female lead in some novel. The first time she ventured out of the sect, she worked up the nerve to snatch a handsome young man. Little did she know he was actually a great demon king whose powers and memories had been sealed. Once he regained his memories, he slit her throat and reduced her to ashes.
Shen Yu's throat still aches at the memory. She decides to strike first, before he can break the seal. "Guards, bring that little beast here."
Her subordinates look utterly confused. "Sect Master, who do you mean?"
Shen Yu freezes. She remembers that Xiao Chi was only snatched back yesterday. Since he refused to submit, she had him hung up in the secret chamber and beaten half to death. Nobody else even knows he exists.

Xiao Chi watches Shen Yu toss aside her knife and walk toward him step by step. He closes his eyes in despair.
You abducted me, humiliated me, and hurt me.
One day, I swear I will...
Wait, is she putting medicine on my wounds...?
In a Jinjiang novel, you have to follow the rules from the neck up.
Shen Yu takes the roundabout approach and makes the little beast her personal disciple.
While rejecting her male companions' advances, she diligently clears the Hehuan Sect's name and builds a positive image in the martial world. At the same time, she teaches him martial arts, cares for him, and instructs him (brainwashes him) to be kind to others (and not seek revenge), and to grow into a model young man...
Shen Yu is so busy her feet barely touch the ground. Fortunately, things are going according to plan, and she can finally take a breather.
But...
Her usually well-behaved disciple looks at her more and more strangely, while her male companions who were reborn with her die one by one.
At last, Xiao Chi cups her face, his eyes full of possessiveness. "I can't stand sharing you with anyone else, even if they're a part of me."
Shen Yu springs up in shock. Why does this feel like that novel all over again?
Both leads are each other's first and only, with a sweet, satisfying romance.
The male companions are fragments of Xiao Chi. One-on-one romance, not a harem.
