I Thought I’d Borrowed the Protagonist’s Halo [Infinite]

[Genius heroine, lovestruck hero, reverse-deification trope]

My new serial next door, "After My Premium Account Was Stolen, I Became an Immortal," is updated daily! Please add my upcoming novels to your reading lists: "My Fish Tank Connects to the Deep Sea," "Survival on the Ocean Floor: My Shipwreck Evolves Without Limit," and "I Accidentally Donated My Merits to an Evil God."

Bei Shengning transmigrated into an infinite-flow novel and lost her memory. All she could remember was that the male lead was called "Heng Si," that he would appear in a certain amusement park instance, and that he was a major powerhouse.

To stay alive, she decided to stick with the male lead and bask in his protagonist's halo.

So,

In the amusement park instance, while everyone else was busy avoiding deadly rides, the male lead leisurely went on a roller coaster. She followed him and successfully found a clue to clearing the instance.

In the animal mutation instance, while everyone else was busy fleeing, the male lead headed straight into a monster horde. She did the same and successfully found the core controlling the boss.

In the masquerade ball instance, while everyone else was terrified of the masks that ate people, the male lead casually grabbed one and put it on. She chose a matching couple's mask and successfully escaped.

After several rounds, Bei Shengning realized that although she always ended up in high-difficulty instances with the male lead, basking in his protagonist's halo meant an easy ride all the way. It was ridiculously satisfying!

But later, Bei Shengning's memories gradually returned. She remembered that the male lead, Heng Si, was actually a "death god," who gained power through death. The more times he died, the stronger he became.

In the instances they'd gone through, the male lead had actually been trying to get himself killed, and he really had died. It was only because of his death-god body that he came back to life.

So she'd been following him and courting death the whole time!

She thought she'd been basking in the protagonist's halo, but in reality, she was the one solving the puzzles and clearing the instances?

Bei Shengning broke out in a cold sweat. She didn't think she could keep getting this lucky, so she decided to accept the second male lead's offer to work together.

But Heng Si, who was always cold and quiet with a mournful look on his face, suddenly took her hand and said earnestly, "I'll protect you. Don't go with him, okay?"

-

Heng Si is a death god, forever trapped in a cycle of death and rebirth.

Every time he dies, he grows stronger, but each death leaves something missing from his heart.

Until she appeared, becoming the only light to shine in his dark world.

[Bold, perceptive, reliably unhinged heroine x laid-back, quiet, lovestruck hero]

*Reading Guide:

One-on-one romance, mild horror.

The heroine is not a decoration, and she doesn't win without effort. She clears the instances through intelligence and deification (crossed out), and she's strong, an all-around worker!

[Upcoming novel: "I Accidentally Donated My Merits to an Evil God"]

Yuan Xingwei is a junior fairy.

After diligently cultivating for 99 lifetimes, she finally earned the chance to ascend to the upper realm.

She transmigrated into a cultivation novel and had to spend the merits she'd accumulated over 99 lifetimes to help the world and save people.

To keep the merits from flowing back to her when people thanked her, she gave herself the fake name "Xingyuan." Whenever someone wanted to thank her, she gave them that name instead. That way, all the merits would gather under a nonexistent name.

But she had no idea that the name she'd chosen at random belonged to an ancient evil god.

.

The ancient evil god Jiu Li was originally named "Xingyuan."

Although sealed away in the desolate lands of the Northern Darkness, he still possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth, and the Three Realms feared him.

But Jiu Li had long since awakened to his own existence. He knew he was merely an evil god from a book, a character who lived only in legend.

To escape, he split his power into several parts and gradually destroyed it all, hoping to break free of this world's constraints and reach a higher plane.

His followers had always tried to awaken him, but had never received a response. To leave, he had to sever his ties to this world.

Until one day, their god told them to kill someone named "Yuan Xingwei."

.

Later, Jiu Li suddenly appeared in the world, shaking the Three Realms and drawing the attention of the lands beyond.

He passed by everyone else and stopped in front of Yuan Xingwei, asking angrily, "I heard you chose the fake name 'Xingyuan' because it was the name of your senior brother who died young. Do you like him?"
