When Chen Jiu regains consciousness, the whole world has changed.
The voice in her ear claims to be her bound System.
The System says she has been reborn, but won't live long. The System says she's a disposable villain in a storybook. The System says she'll die with a dozen arrows through her heart.
But she can't remember a thing.
Chen Jiu falls silent for a moment, then coolly replies: "Idiot."
System: "?"
What kind of stupid System is this, cursing her with an early, violent death and a life of obscurity?
Reborn in a new life with all memories of her past erased, she intends to live however she pleases.
Chen Jiu lives without restraint for several years. She does a few good deeds and commits all manner of terrible crimes.
She becomes a notorious young demon, hated by everyone.
And she couldn't be happier.
Then one day, Chen Jiu encounters a young Daoist, disheveled from head to toe.
Right in front of her, he takes out a crude, long arrow. It looks all too familiar.
Chen Jiu can barely keep from laughing as she stares at the little Daoist. "Are you here to kill me?"
Under her gaze, the young Daoist's ears quietly turn red.
He stammers, "I-I'm here... to see you."
Chen Jiu: "?"
Chen Jiu suddenly remembers that in her previous life, she'd vaguely liked someone.
Later, he died at her hands too.
