Jian Yi never expected to transmigrate into a book just from taking a bath.
Every proper fluffy romance has a few cannon fodder characters who pave the way for the leads' love story. And she was one of them: a deranged, truly pathetic bit player who met a grisly end.
Luckily, she arrived at just the right moment: before anything had begun, right before she was about to kidnap and imprison the cultivation world's heroine while she bathed alone, then subject her to a whole series of twisted love-struck schemes.
Jian Yi breathed a sigh of relief. A strange voice rang out in her mind.
[Host, you must strictly follow the novel's plot. There will be punishments for going out of character.]
She knew the door would be kicked open any moment. Her plan would fail, and from then on, the heroine's official love interest and a whole crowd of admirers would mercilessly beat her down.
Jian Yi looked at the beautiful, breathtaking girl before her, hazy in the curling steam. Her calf accidentally brushed against a patch of snow-white skin.
She met those limpid eyes as they gradually turned cold.
Outside the door was a crowd about to burst in and beat her up. In her mind, a System lay in wait, strictly forbidding her from going out of character.
“...”
Could she just die and go back now?
Some time later, Jian Yi was doing her usual bit of scripted madness when someone shoved her down halfway through, onto the brocade quilt said to be used for “pampering the heroine, the little darling.”
A weight settled on her waist and abdomen. Someone sat on top of her.
Jian Yi felt a little strange about it. She looked up to see the heroine gazing down at her with a distant look, a slender hand holding the Yuexia Sword.
She hadn't expected her flawless acting to push things so far that the heroine would have to kill her herself.
Jian Yi felt ashamed of herself and closed her eyes, waiting to die.
But the pain never came. Instead, something cold slowly sliced through her clothes.
A soft, sweet fragrance filled her senses. Someone licked and teased her earlobe.
“People who flirt but won't marry are supposed to be punished...”
“...?”
A coerced, unwell, easygoing bottom who'd rather laze around vs. a top whose possessiveness grows more and more intense as she gradually goes off the deep end
Theme: Keep looking forward, even when trapped in adversity.
