Li Sihuang transmigrates into a sweet romantic xianxia novel, becoming the arrogant, highborn cannon-fodder second female lead.
She is the original male lead's childhood friend, devoted to him and obsessed with him. To win him over, she forces a marriage, abducts him to be her groom, and sparks a war between their clans. In the end, after seriously injuring the heroine, she is killed in a fit of rage by the male lead.
The good news is, she hasn't yet tried to kill the heroine.
The bad news is, she's already led her death squad to the male lead's doorstep!
Facing the man before her, whose whole body radiates the glow of the Chosen One, Li Sihuang points casually behind him before he can speak. "This immortal lord seduced me and then abandoned me. Today, he will marry me, whether he wants to or not!"
The male lead, who had just prepared a speech to refuse the marriage: "?"

Xie Mingshi is the original male lead's best friend, as well as the original story's greatest villain.
As the illegitimate son of the Demon Lord, he bears a half-immortal, half-demon bloodline. He has always been grateful that his master and fellow disciples never looked down on or feared him because of his heritage. But only after his soul is ripped out and his Dao heart shattered does he learn the truth: he is a blade forged by the War God Manor to fight the demons, and a carefully chosen vessel for his master's own life force.
That day, Yun Shi, the Immortal Lord of the War God Manor, drags his broken immortal body along, seizes the demon bone, devours the demon heart, and awakens his Heavenly Demon bloodline. With only one sword in hand, he slaughters his way through the twelve cities of the immortal path, becoming the great demon feared by all across the three realms.
Reborn, before he can decide whether to turn the three realms upside down all over again, he hears someone accuse him of seducing and abandoning her, apparently intent on forcing him into marriage.
He recalls the spoiled behavior of this immortal heiress from his previous life, then sees the disdain in her eyes as she looks at the "good friend" who stabbed him to death in his past life. On a whim, Xie Mingshi answers, "All right."
Li Sihuang, who had been waiting for him to refuse so she could use his poor eyesight as an excuse to back out: "?"
On the day they exchange betrothal documents, Li Sihuang sees the enormous seal of Immortal Lord Yun Shi on them and blacks out.
Can she still break off the engagement?
"The sixth day of the sixth lunar month is auspicious for becoming cultivation partners, but inauspicious for breaking off an engagement or separating lovers."
The immortal lord sits leisurely by the window, reading the almanac. He glances up and asks amiably, "Shall we get engaged that day?"
"Sure."
Li Sihuang, terminally face-obsessed, hears herself answer automatically.

Later on, Xie Mingshi hears his fiancée muttering to herself every day: Has the great demon stolen the demon heart today? Has he seized the demon bone today? Why hasn't the great demon stabbed that heartless master with his sword yet?
Meanwhile, today's great demon is still working hard to learn how to do her eyebrows and make soup, while saving up private funds for the wedding!
