[A hapless sister forced to take the blame x a handsome Demon Venerable who's lost his mind]
Shen Zhouzhou transmigrated into a world of cultivation, where she was abducted by the Demon Venerable Liang Jian.
The great demon was eight feet tall, peerlessly handsome, and radiated an imposing presence, but he seemed to be a little unhinged.
He dragged her to the edge of a cliff and claimed she was the culprit who had pushed him off it two hundred years ago.
Shen Zhouzhou, who had lived an ordinary life in the modern world until the age of eighteen, protested, "That's ridiculous! Take a good look at my face. Do I look like the one who pushed you?"
Liang Jian grabbed her by the collar and dangled her over the edge, his eyes filled with overwhelming hatred. "It's your fault for having that face!"
He really was crazy!
Just as Shen Zhouzhou was about to hit the ground, Liang Jian used magic to catch her, then said darkly, "What makes you think I'd let you die so easily?"
Tortures like this played out again and again.
Shen Zhouzhou finally understood. She'd become the stand-in for his beloved!
Which young lady had done this? Couldn't she have stabbed him first before pushing him off the cliff?
Then one day, in a forbidden place in the demon realm, Shen Zhouzhou discovered someone sealed beneath ten thousand years of ice.
That person had the exact same face as her older brother.
Her brother, Shen Jingluo, was a top-tier star idol with tens of millions of fans. He was considered the perfect face for a beautiful male character in danmei stories.
And she had a face strikingly similar to her brother's. Many people said that if Shen Jingluo were a woman, he'd look just like her.
Shen Zhouzhou's mind short-circuited on the spot:
So my brother was the one who pushed the great demon off the cliff?
The great demon likes my brother?
He's gay?!
Two hundred years ago, no one in the cultivation world dared call themselves the most beautiful person in the Nine Provinces, because there was Shen Jingluo of the Canglan Sect.
And Shen Jingluo was a man.
Two hundred years later, no one in the cultivation world dared even mention Shen Jingluo's name, because the infamous cold-blooded, murderous Demon Venerable Liang Jian hated him to the core. He'd even named his palace the Whale-Burning Hall.
The moment Liang Jian saw Shen Zhouzhou, he decided she was Shen Jingluo reincarnated, and wanted nothing more than to repay her for every torment he'd suffered.
Yet whenever her life was in danger, he couldn't help saving her. Shen Jingluo had deceived and tried to kill him, but he was also the only person in the world who had ever shown Liang Jian warmth.
Shen Zhouzhou: So I'm just part of your play?
Reader's note:
1. The male lead is not gay. His feelings for Shen Jingluo aren't romantic; the female lead has misunderstood.
2. Happy ending.
