Synopsis
Yu Yangyang, a laid-back office worker who loved slacking off, read four novels at work and then transmigrated into a book. As soon as she arrived, her deadbeat father, who had enemies all over the world, breathed his last. Before dying, he still remembered to give her a jade pendant and tell her to seek out her never-before-seen fiancé to save her life.
Yangyang felt that this plot seemed a little dangerous, but her lazy nature still led her to decide to freeload on food and lodging.
The very next moment, however, she was captured by the book's major villain.
"Your Majesty, please don't eat me! I'll give you my provisions and the most valuable thing I own, this jade pendant." Yangyang had no backbone, but she did know to cherish her life.
The major villain looked at Yangyang's pendant and felt that something about this situation wasn't simple.
Major villain: "Hmm? You're the fiancée of Qingyue, the honored ancestor of the Qianji Sect?"
Yangyang: "That identity sounds familiar!"
Major villain: "You're also the fiancée of the legitimate son of the Yuning Immortal Clan?"
Yangyang: "Wait, what? How can I have two fiancés?"
Major villain: "You're also the fiancée of the Demon Lord's son and the sword spirit of the Xuantian Sword?"
Yangyang: "Huh? Are fiancés being sold wholesale now?"
The major villain stared at Yangyang, deep in thought. Yangyang stared at the jade pendant, deep in thought.
Back then, her deadbeat father had followed the principle of diversifying risk. So now Yangyang had four fiancés.
Even worse, all four of them were the male leads of the four books she'd read.
Yangyang had never dreamed that she would be the doomed fiancée in every one of them!
Remembering how those doomed fiancées met their ends, Yangyang hoisted her bundle and tried to run, only to be captured by the major villain again.
The major villain cast a diligence curse on her. If she didn't obey, she would have to work nonstop until she died!
Yangyang: That's just too cruel!
But if she completed the mission, he would also give her enough retirement money to spend the rest of her life comfortably as a lazy fish.
With no other choice, Yangyang could only give in to the major villain's threats and enticements and complete the mission: win over her four legendary fiancés.
But thanks to the law of attraction between male and female leads, Yangyang knew that if she did this, she would surely lose her life.
So Yangyang put her lazy-fish wisdom to work and decided to do the opposite: make the male leads hate her. As long as they kicked her out, she wouldn't have failed the mission!
The Qianji Sect's honored ancestor, Qingyue, was the sect's leading figure, an aloof beauty who hated naturally useless people. So Yangyang pretended to be a vicious, spoiled wastrel who never studied.
The legitimate son of the Yuning Immortal Clan was a chosen-one hero and the light of the righteous path who hated anyone being better than him. So Yangyang stole his opportunities and stole the spotlight every day.
The Demon Lord's son seemed flirtatious but was actually heartless, and hated lovesick girls obsessed with him. So Yangyang turned into a shameless admirer, bombarding him every day with greasy pickup lines.
The beautiful, tragic sword spirit had been raised as a weapon and suffered endless torment. He hated being humiliated and abused, so Yangyang became a mindless villain and pretended to torment him.
But after some time, the major villain suddenly told her to hurry back and stop worrying about the mission. He'd keep paying her retirement money anyway. Overjoyed, Yangyang immediately prepared to fake her death and escape, but to her surprise, the male leads had all become yandere.
The aloof beauty Qingyue descended from his altar: "It's fine if Yangyang doesn't study. Her master will dote on her."
The jade-faced fox, the immortal clan's legitimate son, became lovesick: "Forget cultivating immortality. I only know that if Yangyang wants something, I'll take it for her!"
The flirtatious, coldhearted young Demon Lord convinced himself: "Stop talking nonsense. Yangyang is madly in love with me. She'd never leave me."
The ascetic sword spirit developed Stockholm syndrome: "Yangyang, imprison me, conquer me. I only want to be your canary."
Come on! Who wants a passionate, tragic love affair with them? Watching the male leads suddenly go crazy, Yangyang still thought the major villain treated her better.
Yangyang, the toady: "Your Majesty! I'm so touched! You saved me from the fire pit and still doubled my retirement money!"
Major villain: "If it weren't for the fact that you've had a crush on me for so long, I'd make you work until you died."
Yangyang: "Are you imagining things? When did I have a crush on you?"
The major villain flew into a rage out of embarrassment: "You refuse to pursue all these high-quality male leads and slack off every day. Isn't it because you're secretly in love with me?"
Yangyang: "...Your Majesty! I'm innocent! I just wanted to freeload off your retirement money!"
P.S. This isn't a novel where readers choose the love interest. The male lead is set in stone!
