The Sword Spirit Keeps Trying to Get Me to Stab the Male Lead

Ding Yuanjun transmigrates into a book, becoming the doomed female side character who is the white moonlight in a stand-in romance.

Unfortunately, she doesn't realize right away that she's transmigrated into a book. Instead of staying far away from the male lead, Ji Quezhi, she becomes his childhood friend and even takes a fatal blow for him, falling into a coma.

In the long years of separation, Ji Quezhi pines for her without end. By chance, he takes in a stand-in who resembles her. The stand-in is sweet, adorable, and well-behaved, the complete opposite of Ding Yuanjun.

When Ding Yuanjun wakes up, she finds her childhood friend has changed. Whenever he talks to her, it seems as if he's looking through her at someone else. Even the cultivators of the entire Yuanqing Sect keep going on about how pitiful the stand-in, Cheng Zhenzhen, is; how she and Ji Quezhi are a match made in heaven; and how, if Ji Quezhi weren't engaged to Ding Yuanjun, he would've abandoned her long ago...

Ding Yuanjun: Heh. So you do know you're engaged to me, you scumbag!

She's furious.

Zhu Su is the last phoenix, who forged himself into a sword during the war between gods and demons. He's hot-tempered and always eager to stand up for others. Ten thousand years later, Ji Quezhi comes upon him by chance, and Zhu Su becomes his sword.

When he sees Ji Quezhi acting like a two-timing scumbag, he can hardly wait to kill his master!

Zhu Su: Come on, Ding Yuanjun. I'll help you cut him down!

Ding Yuanjun: Help! I don't know how to use a sword!

The fiery phoenix instantly changes his tune: Then go learn, got it?

The cultivation world's latest gossip sheets are selling like hotcakes. Everyone is delighted by the news that Sword Revered Yuan Yu, Ji Quezhi, jumped off a cliff to win back his true love. The next day, the papers sell out completely. The headline reads

#Good grief! Sword Revered Yuan Yu's life-bound sword has eloped with his childhood sweetheart!#

Notes: 1. Zhu Su is not Ji Quezhi's life-bound sword.

2. The heroine is miserable early on, but gets her face-slapping revenge later.

Everyone at the Paranormal Affairs Bureau knows that Qin Zhao is greedy and shameless.

Half a year ago, Bureau young master Song Xiuyu went out to exterminate the paranormal and was gravely wounded. He lost his memories and was rescued by a country girl from a remote village.

But instead of keeping her head down and promptly reporting Song Xiuyu's whereabouts, the girl took advantage of his amnesia, shamelessly claiming to be his fiancee in order to climb the social ladder.

Fortunately, Song Xiuyu soon recovered his memory. He was furious and deeply ashamed to have been fooled by Qin Zhao.

Enraged, Song Xiuyu declared that he would spare Qin Zhao's life only if she crossed the Outer Domain alone.

The Outer Domain has been overrun for four hundred years. It's full of countless mysterious and bizarre entities, and even the Bureau's experts, masters of paranormal extermination techniques, struggle to venture deep inside.

Everyone assumed the despicable girl would surely die a gruesome death at the hands of the paranormal.

Four hundred years have passed since the paranormal first appeared.

The disasters continue, evil spirits run rampant, life is as fleeting as morning dew, and there is little hope of survival. People have suffered for so long that their fear has faded, leaving only numb despair.

Yet the Paranormal Affairs Bureau, hailed as humanity's savior, hoards its secrets for exterminating the paranormal, exploits its privileged position to amass wealth, and sits high above the clouds.

Countless villages and towns have slowly fallen silent under the rampage of evil spirits. Meanwhile, the lofty champions of justice recline on warm beds beneath sable furs, inhaling fragrant incense and raising crystal wine cups as they coldly watch the lowly masses struggle for their lives.

Then one day...

In the uninhabited Outer Domain, startled birds take flight. A girl blazing like a fire holds a long saber. She comes bearing a lamp through the dark, stepping over the remains of indescribable creatures. With a flick of her finger, terrifying monsters vanish into ash.

Her eyes shine brightly as she carefully gathers the remains of the dead and wipes the blood from the village stele, rekindling everyone's desire to live.

The humble have done no wrong. Even the lowliest deserve to live.

The silent continent blooms green again, and the hopes of countless people gather in her hands.

The Bureau, stripped of its authority, demands angrily to know where she learned her skills.

Qin Zhao crosses the river of four hundred years of history.

She meets the most brilliant people of this era.

Song Xiuyu never imagined he would fall in love with the very commoner he despised most.

So when faced with questions that sound curious but are really mocking, he can only bring himself to snuff out the feelings that have just begun to take root.

He forces Qin Zhao into the Outer Domain, making her face certain death, hoping to destroy this woman who stands as evidence of his lustful transgression.

Times change, and he never expected the fire of his desire to rage so fiercely, impossible to put out. Nor did he expect Qin Zhao to make it back from the Outer Domain alive.

He thought this was a second chance granted by the heavens.

But it was Qin Zhao who created a miracle with her own hands.

From then on, the girl he once trampled underfoot rises on the wind, becoming someone he can never reach again.

All he can do is watch her from afar, consumed by regret.
