The System Told Me They Were the Murderers

You were a once-in-a-century cultivation prodigy, diligent in your practice all your life, yet in the end you died with your soul destroyed, leaving not even a corpse behind. Fortunately, you got the chance to be reborn as Medicine King Valley's most doted-on little granddaughter. The price was losing the memories and cultivation of your past life.

You wanted to properly bid farewell to your former life, so you went to your own funeral.

There, in the mourning hall, you met three people you never expected to see.

The first was your senior brother, Yan Guihe, the gentle and refined Holy Son of the Central Court. Everyone said you shared a deep bond as fellow disciples, but only you knew that demonic blood flowed beneath his immortal bearing.

The second was your fiancé, Song Yuanjue, a passionate and forthright young general. But deep down, he despised this marriage arranged by your clans and had once declared in public that he would break off your engagement.

The third was Yue Luwang, the young lord of the Southern Frontier. You had saved him when he was trapped in a desperate situation, but he was not grateful. He even hated you and secretly kept tabs on you, all because you had seen him at his most wretched.

The System suddenly prompted: "Host, one of them is concealing the real culprit who killed you. Identify them immediately, and stay on your guard."

At those words, all three turned their gaze toward you.

You forced yourself to stay calm. "Tsk, this is exciting."

To uncover the truth behind your death, you had no choice but to approach them and play along. You never expected that every one of them would develop an extraordinary attachment to you.

Your cool, austere senior brother summoned your spirit with a ritual every night, just to see you one more time.

Your lively, passionate fiancé sculpted clay figures of you every day, hoping to ease the ache of missing you.

The gloomy, obsessive ingrate went even further, driving himself mad in self-imposed isolation. He made a special love-afflicting gu, lost himself in its illusions every night, and went mad for you.

After learning what they were really like, you said, "Tsk, what a bunch of freaks."

[Reading Guide]

1. A murder-mystery revenge story where readers can bet on the love interests. The romance is a little slow to heat up. Until the male lead is decided, expect shameless, indulgent Mary Sue romance. All the male characters are completely devoted to the heroine.

2. The blurb uses second person, while the main story uses third person. Ship whoever you like, but don't use other characters as stand-ins, insult characters, or argue in the comments.

3. First version of the blurb recorded on March 22, 2022; second revision on October 14, 2022; final version on October 22, 2026.

Core idea: Even if Heaven itself means to cut off your path, you must seek a sliver of life amid a thousand deaths.
