[Male Stand-In] [Angsty Love Triangle] [Rivalry for the Heroine]

The Everlasting Flower can bring the dead back to life and restore white bones to flesh. Chi Qing once cultivated one.

When Xie Hengyu came to ask for the flower, she looked into his eyes, which seemed familiar, and gave it to him.

"The flower goes to the Xie family, and the young master belongs to me. That's only fair."

After years of carousing in the world of love and lust, Chi Qing finally found the shadow of her first love in Xie Hengyu. His eyes were so much like those of her lover, who had died a horrible death.

So she lured Xie Hengyu into a sea of sin, teasing and tormenting him until she had him completely wrapped around her little finger.

Until one day, after drinking too much, Chi Qing murmured nonsense. As she stroked Xie Hengyu's eyes, she called him by someone else's name.

A few days later, she saw Xie Hengyu again.

His robe was stained with blood, his eyes covered with white silk. Holding out a wooden box to her, he spoke in a broken voice: "Qingqing, aren't these eyes what you like best about me? You can have them. What else do you want?"

"Without your eyes, what is there left for me to like?" Chi Qing said. "Go. I don't want you anymore."

But over the next seven years, Chi Qing cultivated another Everlasting Flower.

She had done nothing to feel guilty about. She only hated herself for being blinded by his looks and getting involved with that madman.

Once the Everlasting Flower healed his eyes, she would never see him again.

The Xie family stood at the head of the human cultivation world. The eldest young master, Xie Hengyu, was as radiant as the moon, with exquisite spiritual roots and a physique fit for cultivation. He was a once-in-a-century prodigy.

One year, Xie Hengyu ventured into the demon realm in search of a flower, and then all word of him disappeared.

No one knew that year he had become entangled with a wanton demon who lied through her teeth.

He lost his heart, damaged his eyes, and saw his cultivation vanish. All his grace and dignity were gone. In the end, the demon discarded him like trash, and he returned to the human world in a daze.

Seven years later, after the first snow had cleared, the moon hung hazy in the sky.

After waiting for years, he finally reunited with her.

Xie Hengyu heard the demon he had longed for step through the snow. She brought him a flower and said it would heal his eyes.

"Once my eyes are healed, you'll leave again, won't you?" He gripped Chi Qing's wrist tightly, forcing a smile, humble and bitter. "Qingqing, please, don't throw me away again."

"If you'll agree, I'll spend the rest of my life pretending to be him."

Lin Xiao transmigrated into a book.

One day, the scheming tea-green female supporting character gets hurt and clings to the male lead's hand by a rockery, crying and playing for sympathy.

Lin Xiao dashes over, full of righteous indignation, and reads straight from the text: "Her palm-sized face is so pitiful, and her tears fall like beads from a broken string. With the delicate beauty of a pear blossom in the rain and the sorrowful grace of Xi Shi clutching her heart, she's simply impossible not to feel sorry for!!!"

Female supporting character: Who's talking??

Lin Xiao happily walks away.

In the dark of night, the female supporting character cups her own exquisite face and lets out the first cheerful laugh of her life.

*

Of all the characters, Lin Xiao finds Xiao Ningshi the most annoying.

Xiao Ningshi is the male lead, a brooding, secretly vain show-off whose every narrated thought is heartbreakingly long.

These days, every time Xiao Ningshi is about to show off, he hears someone in the crowd clear their throat.

Then comes a woman's voice, articulate, beautiful, and solemn.

"His handsome, cold face shows no emotion, but a dark glint passes through his ink-black eyes. He thinks: This guy is a useless idiot. No matter. Once he makes a fool of himself, I'll show off my skills and amaze everyone!!!"

From then on, whenever Xiao Ningshi hears someone clear their throat, he wants to die on the spot.

*

One day, Lin Xiao is sprawled on the roof, her face flushed as she prepares to read one of the juicy passages left in the unabridged version.

She clears her throat, but a hand suddenly clamps over her mouth.

The male lead, who should have been in the room doing something unspeakable, has appeared behind her instead.

Xiao Ningshi covers her mouth and looks at her pleadingly. "Xiaoxiao, please, skip this part. If you must read it, read it just for me."
