After Carving Out My Heart to Prove the Way in a Game

Tang Xue never expected that choosing the role of the Second Senior Sister would lead her game to such a heart-wrenching ending.

Her eldest senior brother, who cared for her most, died protecting her, his soul utterly destroyed.

Her truest friend, who had always stood by her, turned to the demonic path after her entire family was slaughtered because of her.

Her master, who held all living beings in his heart, had soul-locking needles driven into his bones for her sake and was imprisoned until death.

The fox demon who loved her was refined into a demon core, doomed to suffer for all eternity.

And all of it was done by the Third Junior Brother she had once personally saved.

He had become a wicked demon capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Standing atop the ten-zhang city wall, he said, "I need your heart to save Little Junior Sister. If you cut it out for me, I'll spare everyone in this city."

He was willing to slaughter an entire city for the sake of one girl, Little Junior Sister.

Tang Xue remembered how, back then, the Third Junior Brother had been trapped in a cage. Later, when he was surrounded by demons, she had protected him in just the same way.

In the end, she had failed to warm this venomous snake's heart.

With all eyes upon her, Tang Xue cut out her own heart.

Her exquisite heart saved an entire city. In that moment, she attained the Dao, ascended to immortality, and cleared the game.

She sat stunned for a long time, then quit the game and deleted her save. She would never touch it again.

But that very night, her soul transmigrated back into the game.

In the opening dungeon, she glanced at the little snake imprisoned in a cage, barely clinging to life. He would grow up to become a great demon, her Third Junior Brother.

This time, she merely said, "Kill it."
