I Volunteered to Be a Substitute

Chai Yun transmigrated into a book, becoming the female lead... or rather, an unnamed cannon-fodder character from her village.

She gazed at the mud covering the ground and the poor, scrawny men and women, and wanted to roll her eyes back and faint on the spot.

Under normal circumstances, she should invent glass, soap, and explosives, make a fortune, and rise to the top. But Chai Yun knew her own limits. She was a terrible student who couldn't do anything right, though she was always first when it came to eating. Whenever she got into trouble for dating, her parents were called in, and she was always involved.

That's right. Before she transmigrated, Chai Yun was beautiful and only good at dating.

More importantly, she had transmigrated into a cultivation novel full of tragic romance.

Immortality was what everyone sought.

After gritting her teeth through several days of farm work, Chai Yun racked her brains for a way to join a cultivation sect.

As it happened, the heartbroken female lead had been reborn and wanted nothing to do with the scumbag male lead who had treated her as someone else's substitute.

Chai Yun was overjoyed. The female lead didn't want to be a substitute, but she did!

In the original story, the female lead loved the scumbag male lead so much that she willingly let him tear out her heart, liver, and lungs, until she was tormented into a pile of ashes.

Chai Yun only wanted access to the male lead's resources. It was hilarious: there was no way she would be tormented at all.

So, under the female lead's complicated gaze, Chai Yun happily became the male lead's substitute and used her connections to set foot on the path of cultivation.

To hold on to her golden ticket, Chai Yun pulled out every one of her eighty-one tricks for romance (crossed out) being a devoted simp, determined to give her client the perfect substitute experience.

But she never expected the scumbag male lead to be a sweet little softie beneath his cold exterior.

Call him baby, and he freezes.

Compliment him, and the tips of his ears turn red.

Touch his hand, and his whole face goes red.

A few sweet words are enough to trick him out of everything he owns.

Chai Yun, who had planned to use him and then dump him: Oh no, I'm the heartless woman after all.
