Who Isn't a Hundred-Thousand-Year-Old Cannon Fodder?!

Yan Xi transmigrated into a novel she had read a hundred thousand years ago.

She had mostly forgotten what it was about. She only remembered that the cannon fodder who died in the first chapter to benefit the world was called Venerable Wuchen, the male supporting character was named Xuelu, the male lead was named Jian Baichen, and the female lead was named Yan Shixi.

It was probably one of those old-fashioned stories where the heroine saves the hero, but...

The novel had a terrible ending.

Venerable Wuchen, the cannon fodder who died in chapter one, sacrificed himself to grievously wound Xuelu, stripping him of his cultivation and sending him down to the mortal realm to start cultivating all over again.

The kind-hearted heroine, Yan Shixi, saved Xuelu. After three chapters of romantic tension, Xuelu was quickly written out. Then the male lead, Jian Baichen, appeared. He and the heroine were in a relationship for over a hundred chapters before joining forces to kill the male supporting character and prove the righteous path to the world.

Who could have guessed that the male and female leads together still couldn't beat Xuelu?

In the final three chapters, the author went into detail about Xuelu killing Jian Baichen and imprisoning the heroine so the two of them could never be separated, in this life or the next.

But Xuelu only saw the heroine as a caged bird, a canary. As he watched her lie unconscious, he retrieved the corpse of the cannon fodder who had died in the first chapter, placed it on an altar, and worshipped it like an ancestor.

Yan Xi: ?

What the hell is wrong with you!

Yan Xi, a warrior for pure love, clenched her fists on the spot.

Then Yan Xi transmigrated into the book, straight into a hundred thousand years in the past. There weren't any humans yet, and even the apes hadn't started walking upright!

Yan Xi (Venerable Wuchen): What? You're not a hundred thousand years old? No way, no way. Surely a cannon fodder can live for a hundred thousand years?

Xuelu (clenching his fist with a determined look): I'll do my best to live a hundred thousand years.
