Blurb One: Xie Xi is famously unlucky.
In her first life, Xie Xi learned that she lived inside a book and was the villainess, destined for a gruesome death. She decided to strike first, only to be killed by a single sword thrust.
In her second life, Xie Xi learned from her mistakes and decided to take the roundabout route to survival. Drawing on all sorts of stories, she vowed to win the male lead over with love. He thought she had ulterior motives and killed her with another sword thrust.
In her third life, Xie Xi opened her eyes and found herself back at the beginning of the story. This time, she decided to give up completely.
She would quietly be the male lead's junior sister and occasionally cause him a little trouble.
When she came across pastries she didn't like, she took them back for the male lead to try.
The male lead, who had abstained from food for decades: "This is a delicacy! Thank you, junior sister!"
When she came across a rampaging spirit beast, she let the male lead go first.
The male lead, who gained a mount: "You gave up something you loved for me. Thank you, junior sister!"
When she came across fanfiction about the male lead, she let him read it first.
The male lead, who suddenly grasped the sword intent: "The sword techniques in this story are unusual. Thank you, junior sister!"
Xie Xi: Why am I so unlucky?
So this is the Child of Heaven's fortune? Now I've seen it for myself!
Male lead: "Junior sister saved all the good things for me. I have no way to repay you except to offer myself to you!"
Xie Xi: "There's really no need."

Blurb Two: Zhou Shuci couldn't understand why Xie Xi looked nervous every time she saw him and trembled all over whenever he came close. He asked his martial uncle, who had been single for three hundred years. His uncle said this was what it looked like when someone liked a person so much they couldn't control themselves.
Zhou Shuci believed him. But he was devoted to the Dao and had no interest in romance. He was also cold-hearted, so he could only let Xie Xi's sincere feelings go unanswered.
Fortunately, Xie Xi was understanding and didn't constantly hover around him. Yet at every crucial moment, she was the first to rush to his side.
Zhou Shuci thought that Qiyun Peak was too cold. Perhaps having a chattering Xie Xi beside him would make it warmer.
So when Zhou Shuci asked the sect leader to let him become cultivation partners with Xie Xi, she was utterly baffled.
The truth was that Zhou Shuci was a sword cultivator who carried around the very sword he'd stabbed Xie Xi with twice. What normal person wouldn't feel nervous and afraid around him?
Xie Xi protested that she was innocent. "You can marry me, but could you put that sword away?"
It was an unreasonable request for a sword cultivator, but Zhou Shuci agreed.
From then on, Qiyun Peak enjoyed spring all year round, but the peerless sword cultivator was never seen wielding his sword again.
[Reading Guide] Happy ending, single-couple, one-on-one.
Theme: No one's life should be defined by someone else.
