Plucking the Flower from the Peak

Li Biezhi works diligently to play the vicious female supporting character in a melodramatic xianxia novel. The villainess is the Demon Clan's holy maiden, radiant and beautiful, brazen and domineering. She falls in love at first sight with Qiu Mingchan, the leader of the righteous sects, and takes her by any means necessary. Li Biezhi: I'm a respectable person. I can't do that. System: Warning. Failure to comply will result in your elimination. Li Biezhi reluctantly gives in. Looking at Qiu Mingchan's face, praised as the most beautiful in the world, she decides it's not such a bad deal after all and half-heartedly completes her mission. At the end of the story, Li Biezhi willingly lets Qiu Mingchan run her through with a sword and dies in her arms. Looking up, she sees tears trembling on Qiu Mingchan's lashes as she says, "Zhizhi, if there's a next life, I'll treat you well." Li Biezhi thinks it over: Is something wrong with the plot? The next moment, the story restarts, and Li Biezhi is reborn a few days before she was supposed to take Qiu Mingchan by force. With no System interfering, she chooses to lie flat. Li Biezhi plans to stay tucked away in the Demon Realm and live the carefree life of a demoness, never seeing Qiu Mingchan again. One day, while drinking, she sees her demon guards bring in a beauty, saying she is a gift for their mistress. The beauty raises her head, revealing a face as serene as the moon, refined and otherworldly. It's Qiu Mingchan. Qiu Mingchan's lashes flutter, her dark eyes full of affection. "I, Xiao Chan, am willing to serve you, my honored mistress. I have no objections." Li Biezhi: ...I was so startled, I dropped my wine cup! 2022/04/14 Coming next: The White Moonlight of the Frail Black Lotus If Yao Qingyue could have another chance, she would absolutely slap herself for saying "I'll let you have her" to Hua Yurong. Hua Yurong is the protagonist of the novel The Path to Becoming a Demon. Born unable to walk, she is ruthless and obsessive, and has a pettier streak than anyone. But Yao Qingyue accidentally offends her. When they first meet, Yao Qingyue thinks Hua Yurong is a wicked woman who steals other people's partners. She mocks her and thoroughly makes an enemy of her. Later, under the influence of ghosts and a great demon, she mistakenly believes she has been intimate with Hua Yurong and has no choice but to enter into a contractual marriage with her. After Yao Qingyue "recovers," she looks at the stunning beauty seated on the bed, frail and delicate in her phoenix crown and wedding robes, and abruptly comes to her senses. Good grief! How did I end up married to Hua Yurong? Yao Qingyue is utterly despairing: Can I still call off the engagement? Hua Yurong smiles. "I'm sorry... it's too late." Now that you've come to my side, don't even think about leaving. At first, Hua Yurong thinks Yao Qingyue is a fool, pining after someone undeserving and even mistaking her "enemy." But the more they interact, the less Hua Yurong understands Yao Qingyue. She's lazy yet diligent, muddled yet clear-headed, greedy for money and beauty yet detached from worldly desires. She always has her own crooked logic, leaving people baffled. But when Yao Qingyue unhesitatingly steps in front of her, shielding her from every malicious rumor and spiteful attack, Hua Yurong finally realizes that she isn't indifferent to her. Hua Yurong: Fine. Since you like me so much, I'll give you a chance to get close to me. At the time, she thinks she only pities Yao Qingyue and can walk away whenever she wants. Only when Linxian Sect falls, the demon sword appears, and a horde of demons pours out does she realize she can no longer live without her. Yao Qingyue falls from above like a broken butterfly, and Hua Yurong discovers that she has long since become indispensable to her. Theme: Be the protagonist of your own life
