Ming Shu transmigrated.
The cultivation world was great, but there was something in her head called the System, and it wouldn't shut up.
It said:
"You transmigrated here to save the male and female leads of this world."
"They've done plenty of terrible things and have two hearts overflowing with love, to the point that they've killed every living creature in this little world. But their love moved heaven and earth."
"Your job is to redeem them, help the leads, whose past lives were interfered with by an unknown force, achieve their happy ending, and ascend to immortality."
Ming Shu flipped through the beginner's guide to the cultivation world in her head, then blew herself up on the spot.
Hmph. Go to hell, you piece of crap. I'd rather die than live without freedom!

Jiang Muli, the Wind-Subduing Sword, was a famous sight at Qingya Sword Sect.
Legend said he had been afflicted by a deadly poison since childhood. It had damaged his eyes and left him unable to see clearly, so he covered them with white spiritual gauze. Yet he had been blessed with a peerless sword constitution.
At Qingya Sword Sect, whenever he practiced his sword, a crowd of disciples would inevitably gather to watch.
In everyone's eyes, the young genius was polite but somewhat aloof, like the plain white cloth across his face.
Until one day, he wore a dazzlingly colorful robe, and the plain white gauze on his face was replaced by gaudy rainbow-gradient fabric with colorful patterns and gold embroidery.
His junior brothers and sisters, who had come to watch him practice, widened their eyes. They saw something flash past, accompanied by a desperate scream:
"Senior Brother, don't run! You still haven't put on my limited-edition, eighty-eight-color, dazzling Nine-Turn Immortal Rainbow Socks!"

Ming Shu: "That's right, I've got the redemption plot."
"And the guy up there is the SSR I fought tooth and nail to choose."
"My thoughts on transmigrating: May there be no more stupid, love-addled idiots in the cultivation world."
"Oh, and..."
"May Jiang Muli give up his tragic, second-male-lead, miserable little-white-flower outfit soon. Hey, wake up! Isn't a proud beauty in rainbow gradient way cooler?"
Reading Guide:
1. The author is a country bumpkin and is writing a sweet little story with a retro vibe.
2. Violently protective, haughty young lady x gentle second male lead, the dark-hearted, aloof beauty type. One-on-one romance, happy ending.
3. The author is a devoted romance writer with a proven track record. The leads are each other's one and only, in body and spirit. A love-addled man is the best dowry.
4. Returning to writing after a break. The blurb has been revised, but the basic premise is unchanged.
Premise: Cherish what's right in front of you.
