The Ruthless Daoist Protagonist Says He Likes Me

Jiang Mingshui transmigrated into a melodramatic cultivation novel she'd read. The male lead was a genius sword cultivator and the cultivation world's domineering CEO. He and the delicate, innocent heroine were entangled for centuries, acting out one melodramatic scenario after another.

The good news: she wasn't the heroine. The bad news: she was cannon fodder.

More than a decade passed. Jiang Mingshui was relieved to find that the original plot had never happened, and the male and female leads were nowhere to be found.

A genius sword cultivator, though? There was one.

Her junior brother.

Xie Congyuan, his sword cold as frost, his person like the moon, renowned throughout the world.

Her junior brother was wonderful. Everyone said Xie Congyuan was three degrees sharper and colder than the sword in his hand, but in front of Jiang Mingshui, he was obedient and a little dazed, like a quiet cat.

The little cat would even say earnestly, "Don't be afraid, Senior Sister. I'll protect you."

"Will you dry my hair for me all your life, Senior Sister?"

Her face flushed.

On the night after her junior brother confessed his love, Jiang Mingshui suddenly learned the truth: the story she'd read was a melodramatic fanfic, but the world she'd transmigrated into was the original novel.

The original novel's male lead was cold and haughty, pursued the Dao through killing, and wielded his sword against the heavens. His name was... Xie Congyuan!

The revelation was too much. She tried to run, but her junior brother caught her and pinned her against the wall. The young genius was very tall, but his voice sounded pitiful. "Does Senior Sister not like me?"

Jiang Mingshui: Oh, no, I like you a lot.

"I like you not because of who you are, but simply because you're you."
