Also known as How to Get Away Unscathed After Tricking an Immortal Lord Into Falling for You
Meng Tingyou looked at the young man before her, her face full of worry. He was lying on the ground to please her, willingly, and kept insisting that he would be her dog.
What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?!
The plot had gone completely off the rails. The once-imposing, untouchable Immortal Lord had been trained by her into the most obedient little puppy.
She had to admit, though, he was pretty useful...
It all began when she was forced to transmigrate into a book set in a world of immortal cultivation, becoming one of the first testers of a book-transmigration romance game.
The System told her the only way to return was to take the life-bound golden core of Xuan Li, the chosen child of Heaven in this world.
Then crush it.
Stealing the Immortal Lord's golden core was far too difficult, so Meng Tingyou decided to take the indirect route and steal his heart first.
It went even more smoothly than she'd expected, and soon became difficult to bring to an end.
The System's icy voice kept urging her to act, or she would be erased.
Unexpectedly, her actions instead helped the Immortal Lord's primordial spirit return to its body. When the handsome, powerful Immortal Lord awoke, his detached gaze settled on her.
"Mortal girl, were you the one who attacked me in the lower realm?"
Meng Tingyou: Oh, no. I failed to kill him.
System: Congratulations, Host, you've drawn "Try Again." Please approach the Immortal Lord and take his golden core once more.
Years later, Meng Tingyou, the first person to clear the book-transmigration romance game, told reporters how she'd won the heart of that aloof Immortal Lord, brought his path to the Great Dao to an end, and still managed to get away unscathed.
"It takes some effort, some intelligence, and most importantly, a little genuine feeling," she explained.
Everyone gasped. "Genuine feeling?"
Meng Tingyou smiled and nodded. "Yes. Actually, when it came to this target, I also once..."
A voice sounded behind her. "Once what?"
Xuan Li, who should have been in another world, stood not far away, watching her quietly.
He had been deceived twice, yet still chose to tear through the void and follow her trail.
Note:
1. Most of the story takes place in the immortal cultivation world.
2. The heroine is no saint. Everything is based on her belief that the world of immortal cultivation is fictional. Please don't pass moral judgment.
