After Stealing the Villain's Scenes

[The main issues with this book are my writing and outline. Just like my other book, I had such high hopes for it that I really didn't want to rush through it and waste this premise, so I've temporarily locked the entire work. I don't know when I'll resume. Thank you so much for liking it, and I hope we can meet again in the future. - 24.6.13]

* A bit of an ensemble cast / more plot-focused

Baishui Xian County is isolated from the world and takes no interest in worldly affairs.

To this day, only three people have yet to ascend to immortality.

Ye Changfeng, a sword cultivator, dreams of becoming the greatest sword cultivator under heaven. Unfortunately, people in the Eastern Territory aren't fond of dueling, so he still has no rivals.

Ying Qianling, a pill cultivator, dreams of becoming a wandering heroine. She's heard plenty of tales, but has found that there are hardly any women heroes.

Their friend, Ying Ying, a spell cultivator, is the only one without any ambitions. She craves pleasure and can't be bothered to cultivate, so she'll probably be a mere half-immortal until the day she dies.

The System can't understand why someone like her was chosen to be a mission target.

Her mission is to win over the great villain, who is cold and ruthless, uninterested in women, and bloodthirsty in the story.

But after following her to find the villain, the System realizes:

No matter how perilous their situation, no matter what crisis they face, no matter how much pressure they are under, she is always the same little sun, carrying one person, holding another, dragging a third, smiling brightly as she gives everything she has to pull them all forward.

At that moment, the System suddenly understands why she was chosen as the mission target, and why she alone can complete a mission rated as an unprecedented, top-level challenge.

To stop the villain from going on a killing spree, Ying Ying takes his weapon, restricts his movements, and keeps a close watch on his every move.

So everyone assumes Ying Ying is obsessed with Ji Yanbing, that she is possessive and disrespects him by treating him as her property.

Only Ji Yanbing knows the truth: he is the one who is obsessed, and he is the one who is possessive.

He is also the one who hopes she will keep him bound to her forever.

[She becomes a radiant light, and the villainous boy is the shadow that never leaves her side.]
