Blurb:

Lu Zhen woke up again a hundred thousand years after her death. Her first love had become the God Lord Li Zhang of the Upper Realm, personally killed their mutual friend, and become the perfect immortal couple in everyone's eyes with her best friend.

After suffering through love, she decided to close off her heart and focus on cultivation.

At the brink of life and death, the young cultivator Li Yijiang came striding through the moonlight against the light and saved her.

Li Yijiang had pale eyes and a frosty, refined air, and she could tease him until the tips of his ears turned faintly red.

Lu Zhen: I think I might be ready to fall in love again.

Li Yijiang had been troubled lately. A mysterious mortal had latched onto him.

He even had no choice but to swear a pact with her, and from then on a cinnabar mole appeared between his brows.

But before long, he realized something was wrong with him. Why did the cinnabar mole between his brows burn so hot, and yet he still couldn't help drawing close to the inscrutable Lu Zhen?

To him, Lu Zhen was the first splash of color in his long, monotonous life of cultivation.

He knew she was hiding secrets, but it didn't matter. In the end, he would be the one by her side as she embarked on the path to immortality.

Li Zhang had loved Lu Zhen for a hundred thousand years. Lu Zhen died for all living beings, and so he came to despise them.

Everyone in the world misunderstood him, but he didn't care.

When Lu Zhen finally appeared, another unfamiliar man was standing beside her, and she kept insisting she had already fallen for someone new.

God Lord Li Zhang was consumed by jealousy.

Lu Zhen: What's wrong with falling for a younger man?

[Bonus Scene]

God Lord Li Zhang: "I love you."

Lu Zhen replied dismissively, "I don't believe you."

-

Li Yijiang: "Even if you treat me as his substitute, I would gladly accept it."

Lu Zhen waved her hands frantically. "No, no, no! My feelings for you have nothing to do with him!"

-

God Lord Li Zhang: "If you've truly let me go, why is your Dao companion so much like the person I was a hundred thousand years ago?"

Lu Zhen burst out laughing. "Aren't you a little too confident? Can't I just like this type?"

Notes:

1. The female and male leads are exclusive to each other. The men suffer, not the woman. The male lead and second male lead share a history. Li Zhang is the second male lead who fails to win her back.

2. The outline is complete, and the author is reliable. Feel free to dive in.

3. Cultivation stages: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Severing, Heart Unification, Dao Entry, Deification.

"Snacking on a Substitute in a Replacement Novel"

Kong Jia had a beloved person in her heart.

He was the second male lead in an old novel she'd read, a cold and imposing immortal lord, radiant as the bright moon among the clouds.

Unfortunately, the author abandoned the story, so she could only search for substitutes in other novels.

This time, she picked up a replacement-themed novel. The characters were just as cold and aloof, and in every way they were perfect substitutes. But the one she liked was devoted to the villainess and loved her in vain.

It was both bittersweet and heartbreaking, and the angst had Kong Jia howling.

Who knew that halfway through the book, Kong Jia would transmigrate into it?

She had just read that when Immortal Lord Shi Yuan, who upheld the righteous and vanquished evil, couldn't have the woman he loved, he took in a woman who looked seven or eight parts like the heroine. In the blink of an eye, she had become that supporting female character.

Kong Jia: Got it, got it. I'm the substitute girl. I've read countless novels, so I know exactly what to do.

She decided not to cause trouble or make a scene, and to quietly be a little disciple who admired his celestial bearing and enjoyed a fresh substitute up close.

She didn't know that both novels were written by the same author, who had changed her secret identity, revised the plot, and started writing again.

In the second half of this novel, Shi Yuan would fall into demonic cultivation for love, slaughter all living beings, and become a stepping stone for the heroine's redemption.

The System, trapped by a bug, looked on in anguish as Kong Jia gazed at Shi Yuan with hearts in her eyes and a lovestruck expression.

How was it supposed to tell its Host that her real mission was to kill Shi Yuan and stop him from destroying the world?

There was a cinnabar mole in Shi Yuan's heart. The woman behind that image had once saved him when he was defeated, bringing him a warmth he'd never known.

But she was the Holy Maiden of the Demon Realm. Righteous and demonic forces had been at odds since ancient times.

The only one in the sect who resembled the woman with the cinnabar mole was a mortal girl. Everyone believed the Immortal Lord had found a substitute to suppress his feelings.

The substitute played her part diligently, and gradually came to resemble the woman in his memories.

But how could a mosquito's blood ever replace a cinnabar mole?

He decided to make the substitute disappear.

Ten years later, he followed the woman in his heart and set out to prove his demonic resolve by slaughtering the righteous sects.

A flash of swordlight, and amid his sweeping strikes, someone gently stopped his sword.

He looked up. It was the substitute he'd abandoned long ago.

She smiled, her eyes curving. "Sorry, my internet was down before, so I didn't get the mission."

Her sword was even faster than his. The instant its icy blade pierced his heart, the blurry figure in his memories turned around for the first time.

It was Kong Jia.

An author wrote her first novel, but the second male lead was so popular that she couldn't write him out. The plot stalled, and she abandoned the story.

The same author wrote a second novel, but a character in the book became self-aware and fought back. The plot fell apart.

With no other choice, she turned to a transmigration System and asked it to help maintain the original story's order.

The System searched through the vast sea of humanity and finally found the person with the deepest ties to the character to serve as its Host.

It chose Kong Jia.
