The Tragic Second Female Lead Quits

Li Qingmeng transmigrated into a tragic second female lead in a sweet romance novel.

Her younger sister, the female lead, was raised in a life of luxury and affection.

She, on the other hand, was dull and unlikable, and gave everything for others until she died.

Her parents brainwashed her into being her sister's devoted lackey, claiming she'd stolen her sister's spiritual power in the womb.

Her friends had been rescued by her time and again, and her fiance had climbed the ranks with her help. Yet when the Demon God slaughtered humanity and the sect divined that her sister was the chosen savior, they all joined her parents in forcing her to die, determined to drain her spiritual power and dig out her Nascent Soul to make her sister stronger.

As she lay dying, her meridians shattered, everyone forgot her in a secret chamber. Her family and friends were cheerfully preparing the wedding of her sister and the crown prince of the Celestial Clan, while the people of the four seas and eight wildernesses gathered to congratulate the savior on her wedding.

A perfect happy ending? Yeah, right!

You all want me dead? Fine, I'll die!

Li Qingmeng picked up her sword and fought the demons to the death. On the brink of death, she coughed up blood and spoke with tragic beauty: "Father, Mother, I'm sorry. I can't protect my sister anymore."

"Without me on your adventure, be careful. I hope we can be friends again in our next lives."

"Brother Ling, after I die, everything in my storage bag is yours."

Goodbye, everyone.

After faking her death to escape, Li Qingmeng happily went down the mountain to enjoy herself.

But while traveling, she heard that her parents had gone gray overnight, her friends had fallen out over her, her fiance was tormented by inner demons, and everyone was going mad with regret.

On the way down the mountain, Li Qingmeng met a blind man. His features were like a painting, as if carefully rendered with fine brushstrokes; his white robes were pure and bright as the moon. He was kind and gentle. What a shame he was blind, and destined for a life of misfortune in the original story, where he would give the female lead his core and bones and devote his whole life to her.

Li Qingmeng couldn't help but take him in. Along the way, she drove away cultivators who coveted the blind man's beauty, stopped evil cultivators from cutting out his divine core, and killed a female demon who wanted to drain his yang essence. She constantly reminded him to protect his divine core and bones.

Li Qingmeng always thought Jiang Xinghe was a poor little thing, until one day, her family and friends, who had learned she was still alive, came to beg her forgiveness. Horrified, they pointed at the pitiful man she was protecting and cried out the words "Demon God."

With a flick of his finger, he bound everyone in place. Jiang Xinghe turned to Li Qingmeng, his expression desolate. "You believe them instead of me?"

Looking at the overwhelming demonic energy surrounding Jiang Xinghe, Li Qingmeng swallowed. "I believe you. I do."
