Ye Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book, and the System tells her to win over the main villain, a snake demon.
Ye Xiaoxiao: ???
The first time, Ye Xiaoxiao ran for her life and met an untimely end.
The second time, Ye Xiaoxiao gave up trying, and met an untimely end.
The third time, Ye Xiaoxiao pretended not to notice the snake demon spying on her, then wrote the name of Mo Mian, the snake demon's impeccably proper, white-lotus-like junior fellow disciple, on a fortune slip for finding love.
The snake demon junior acted the part, and Ye Xiaoxiao played along.
Before long, everyone at Wuji Sect knew that the young miss Ye Xiaoxiao was hopelessly in love with her blind junior fellow disciple.
Her progress in winning him over stalled at 20%, enough to keep Ye Xiaoxiao alive for now.
To make sure she survived for good, Ye Xiaoxiao staged her own death and prepared to disappear. But she never expected Mo Mian to come rescue her.
The youth with white silk covering his eyes held a sword in one hand and wiped the filthy blood from her face with the other. "Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid. They're all dead."
As she stared at the blood pooling across the ground and the demonic markings on Mo Mian's forehead, Ye Xiaoxiao trembled and reached for his hand.

Mo Mian was a half-demon, rejected by both humans and demons.
Even at Wuji Sect, he was despised and bullied without end.
On the surface, he was a paragon of grace and virtue. In secret, he repaid every slight tenfold.
Once, while committing a wicked deed, he was caught by Ye Xiaoxiao, Wuji Sect's useless young miss. Seeing the girl try so hard to please him, her eyes crinkling with a smile, Mo Mian decided to let her live a few more days.
After all, she was the first person to say she admired him.
Later, he fed Ye Xiaoxiao the blood from his heart, hoping to bind their lives together.
But when she tasted the snake's blood, he saw the fear and revulsion in her eyes and finally realized that she had never loved him.
Driven over the edge, Mo Mian revealed his serpent tail, coiling it around the girl's waist as he bent down to leave the exclusive mark of the Demon King Consort.
He had never known love, but for love, he went mad.
He imprisoned Ye Xiaoxiao, then bent down to beg her to love him.
