Shu Huan transmigrates into a cultivation novel. To gain true freedom, she must complete a series of missions issued by the System: save the male lead, Shen Rongche, from turning evil and prevent the world of the book from meeting its apocalyptic end.
But after she saves the male lead for the first time, he not only shows no gratitude, he throws a lie-detecting bomb at her?!
The System is speechless: Host, the Heart-Testing Curse is real. Tell the truth, or people will die!
Shu Huan: ...Why, thank you so much.
To stay alive, Shu Huan has no choice but to start lying.
Shu Huan: "Believe it or not, I actually fell in love with you at first sight."
She doesn't even believe herself, so the male lead smiles, though it's obviously a cold smile.
They say that once you tell one lie, you'll need countless more to cover it up. Because of this beautiful yet melodramatic lie, Shu Huan devotes herself to the task of saving the male lead, walking a path paved with her fake affection and never turning back.
If you tell enough lies, will someone eventually believe them?
Shen Rongche is burdened with a curse of misfortune, hunted and despised by the Heavenly Dao, and targeted by demons because of the seal suppressing them. He is steeped in sin, loathes himself, and is a madman.
One day, the madman hears a girl say she likes him.
The girl's cheeks are flushed and her breathing is ragged. Shen Rongche laughs softly. He made her that way with his own hands.
"You really like me?" The handsome young man smiles with gentle detachment, his long, pale fingers wrapped firmly around the slender neck of the girl in his grasp.
Shu Huan: "..." Is it too late to take that back?
This is a deadly game of wits. They must pretend and test each other, and the first one to fall in love is destined to lose completely.
Shu Huan wagers everything, putting her sincere heart on the line. She bets that she will win.
Fortunately, she wins her bet.
That day, the world did not end, and from then on, she had a lover.
A goofy heroine who throws herself into everything with all her might × a world-weary, insane, deeply unloved yandere male lead
Theme: Hold on to hope and to the light. Never give up.
