On her wedding night, Shen Xi learns from the System that she's the cherished white moonlight of both the heroes and villains in a novel, and the kind who dies young.
As the wife of this novel's greatest villain, Shen Xi says: I knew there had to be a catch when he was so eager to marry into my family.
To put it plainly, her white-moonlight role is just a plot device. She saves the male lead, then the female lead, then the villain. In the end, when a world-destroying catastrophe strikes, her memorial tablet is smashed to pieces -_-||
After she dies, both the heroes and villains treat her older sister as her replacement, tormenting her physically and emotionally and dragging her through ten lifetimes of melodramatic love and suffering. The story begins, and in the end, the heroes and villains come to their senses, join the female lead, and slay the monsters to save the people from disaster.
After hearing the plot summary, Shen Xi says: Sorry, but we don't call cannon fodder a white moonlight.
She burns incense and prays to the gods and Buddhas, but still can't suppress the murderous intent in her heart. Fine, she doesn't need the merit. Whoever wants to be the doomed white moonlight can have the job. She'd rather be a villain than become a memorial tablet for people to mourn. She'll live to see the ending.

When she encounters the male lead, who is on the brink of death and begging for help, Shen Xi turns and runs: Your fate is your own. Bye-bye!
When bloodthirsty monsters come after them, she shoves the Demon Venerable villain out to take the hit: I don't care if you die, but I can't die.
But the villain she pushed away turns around and hides behind her again, smiling innocently. "Sorry, I don't want to die either."
Shen Xi: ? Aren't you the immortal Demon Venerable? Why are you afraid of this?
The Demon Venerable, Jun Jue, awakens from the primordial chaos with his three hun and seven po lost. He wanders the mortal world, penniless and unable to afford food. Only after eagerly marrying into someone else's family does he get to enjoy the good life.
He never has to worry about food or drink, and he can scrape enough money from a pillar to last three to five days. Thus, a once-great tyrant falls.
What's the point of conquering the world yourself? Better to hold on tight to someone else's coattails.
Jun Jue: (covers his face and cries) What kind of miserable life was I living before?
So he takes pride in marrying into his wife's family and clings tightly to her. As long as she's alive, he'll have a comfortable life.
He always thought Shen Xi was a rich layabout who did nothing but mooch off her family. He never expected that, when they ran into the great villain one day...
"Shen Xi, first in swordsmanship, a genius in formations, a master of spells..."
Shen Xi adds with her eyes closed: "No, no. You have to add one more: I'm a top talisman cultivator."
A calculating, idle heroine who still can't figure things out x a kept man eager to marry into the family and cling to her
