[Ongoing: My Archrival Became My Sword Spirit!? Add it to your favorites!]
* Overachieving little ray of sunshine x world-weary villain
* An unconventional story of mutual salvation
Zhu Ying wrote a sweet xianxia romance. The main couple was sweet, all right, but the villain in the story was a classic tragic beauty: powerful, beautiful, and miserable.
The villain, Qin Yu, was born with immortal bones, but his entire family was slaughtered, his cultivation was crippled, and his sect treated him like a lowly slave, subjecting him to all kinds of oppression. In the end, he turned evil and became a demon, massacring the world. But before he could take his revenge, he died by the original male lead's sword.
Then, amid a storm of angry comments from readers, Zhu Ying transmigrated into the book.
As luck would have it, she became the vicious supporting female character who brought the villain back to the sect so he could be bullied at will. She was the first person he took revenge on, and her end was truly tragic.
Now her mission was to save the villain and change his fate of turning evil and dying horribly.
Zhu Ying: I get it! I just need to care for him, help him, and shield him from harm! I'll turn myself from his dark moonlight into his bright moonlight! Then I'll teach him love and peace!
When the villain was bullied, she stood up for him. When he needed something, she got it for him. When he was ambushed, she risked her life to save him. When the villain... Wait, cultivation is so much fun! (*^▽^*)
The people of Guiyuan Sect noticed that after their once lawless and extremely spoiled little junior sister returned, she seemed like a different person. Not only was she diligent and eager to learn, training hard in her cultivation techniques, she was also exceptionally kind to Qin Yu, whom she should have hated.
And the great villain who followed her everywhere was using the blood-fed dagger he carried to... carve an apple into the shape of a rabbit for her??
System: I've been away for a while. Let's see how the rescue is going... Why did you go off and cultivate by yourself?! You're getting off track! Wait, does the villain seem to have become more obedient?
Zhu Ying: I'm coming to save you, villain... Wait, there's a lost sword manual here. Let me finish reading it first!

Watching the villain become brothers with the male lead and get along harmoniously with the sect, the gloom in his eyes gradually fading until he no longer seemed likely to turn evil, Zhu Ying felt reassured.
Then, just as the mission progress neared one hundred percent and Zhu Ying thought she was about to finish the job and leave, the boy who had once been trampled underfoot and unable to move appeared dressed in black, his long hair tied back and his face spattered with someone else's warm blood.
He held the very same long sword he had used to massacre people after turning evil in the book. At his feet lay the enemies who had once bullied and hurt him.
He carefully wiped the blood from his hands. His eyes were dark, and the corner of his mouth lifted in a cold smile as he pressed the sword to her throat.
"Wishing me sweet dreams?"
"I'm not satisfied with the script you wrote."
"This time, I'll write it myself."
#Oh no, what do I do now that the villain knows my pen name QAQ#
#Can I still fake my death and escape? TmT#
#How did my salvation script turn into a villain-origin story again?#
Looking at the villain, who had turned completely evil, Zhu Ying's survival instincts kicked in. "What kind of story do you want to write? I'll make sure it's perfect!"
The great villain opened the storybook she'd written for fun not long ago to enter a competition. "How about seven times in one night?"
Zhu Ying: ?
#I can't write that, it won't pass the censors#

[Reading Guide]
1. One-on-one, sweet romance, salvation story. The xianxia world has mountains of original settings ==
2. More or less a story about a little ray of sunshine x a very pitiful guy
3. There are quite a few foreshadowed details (at least I think so x), so I won't spoil plot-related material. If you spot a plot hole, it might be foreshadowing, or it might be because the author's an idiot (X). Peaceful, rational discussion is welcome~
4. Cultivation levels: Qi Refining - Foundation Establishment - Golden Core - Nascent Soul - Spirit Transformation - Great Ascension - Tribulation - Ascension. Each level has three stages: low, middle, and high. This isn't a pure leveling-up story, so it's just for background. Take it all for fun~ Please don't imitate it, and don't blame me if your ascension fails ==
5. Check out my upcoming stories, "She's Not the Little Junior Sister" and "The Male Lead's Dark Moonlight Went OOC," as well as my completed story "Monsters! Get in the Bowl!" on my author page.
---Blurb for My Archrival Became My Sword Spirit!?---
Shi Yu is an orphan adopted by Wanzong Mountain. Though her spiritual root is incomplete, she's always dreamed of becoming a sword cultivator.
But she only has a wooden sword.
Everyone laughs at her for wanting to become a sword cultivator when she doesn't even have a sword spirit of her own.
Until one day, her wooden sword moves.
Her sword spirit has a lovely voice and is incredibly powerful. It's just never around, has a bad temper, and really doesn't want to call her Master. Fortunately, she's patient enough to tame it.
The sword spirit starts calling her Master, keeps her company while she eats and sleeps, teaches her to cultivate, and occasionally helps her punish the people who bully her.
She thinks her sword spirit is the most special and best sword spirit in the world.
-
Wanzong Mountain has a famous swordsmanship prodigy. Shi Yu hates him and has even argued with him anonymously for eight hundred rounds on the Four Directions Mirror.
But he's the sect leader's personal disciple, and she can't beat him. Whenever she sees him in private, she always hides far away.
However, at the grand gathering held once every three years, the swordsmanship prodigy is punished by being made to do odd jobs. Shi Yu, who is in charge of preparing the banquet, is forced to work with him.
She takes the opportunity to put on airs and order him around.
To her surprise, he casually agrees in front of everyone. "Understood, Master."
Shi Yu and everyone else: ?
-
As a swordsmanship prodigy, Tang Xiyan is proud and arrogant, never taking anyone seriously. As a result, he was hunted down and nearly lost half his life. With nowhere else to go, he hid inside a broken wooden sword and was accidentally mistaken for a sword spirit.
The person who finds him is a little good-for-nothing girl without a spiritual root, who carries him around all day and insists he call her Master.
Tang Xiyan: How could the number one genius of the Sword Sect become a sword spirit for a little girl who hasn't even awakened her mind? What a joke
Shi Yu: Are you there, good little sword spirit?
Tang Xiyan: ...I'm here.
-
Tang Xiyan could have left at any time and stopped pretending to be some so-called sword spirit. But again and again, he hides in the wooden sword, meets her delighted gaze, and silently tells himself that next time, he definitely won't come back.
So later, when Shi Yu wants to back down again in the face of those who bully her, Tang Xiyan tells her to raise the wooden sword in her hand.
"Shi Zhaozhao."
"Draw your sword."
"The number one swordsman's Master can't be a good-for-nothing."
* One-on-one / bickering couple / tsundere x naturally airheaded, self-persuading x slow on the uptake
Theme: Love yourself well, and you'll be able to love others
Wow wow wow, it looks so good. Why isn't it popular?
Emmmm, how can I put it? It's so confusing, but it's still fattening up. I'll go crazy if I don't know the result halfway through. The author needs to work hard. I'll finish the update as soon as possible. I bought it all at once.
The male protagonist looks like a big dog
It turns out that the two major systems know each other.
Come on wow [let me be healthy] it looks great! Like it very much!
The heroine heard the system saying that the hero's life was in danger, but she didn't go and check it out. This is a bit outrageous...
Ahhhhh, the plot about the male protagonist's parents was a bit touching.
Woooooooooooooooooooooo touching
The last few chapters have made me breathless.
Is Zhu Ying a god? She has no bones. Did they cut out her bones?
