After being badly injured by a fellow disciple during a trial, Gu Yan suddenly awakens and regains some of her memories. It turns out she has transmigrated into a xianxia novel.
As the most unremarkable disciple in her sect, her mission is to kill that distant, aloof master of hers. Three hundred times, no less.
She's already completed two hundred and ninety-nine attempts. She only needs one more to escape her predicament.
The upright and honorable Gu Yan frowns. What kind of ridiculous mission is this?
Her master protects the people and is revered by thousands. Wouldn't killing him go against heaven and reason?
So she decides to wait and see, getting closer to her master step by step before making a decision.
Everything goes as she hopes, and she becomes her master's only disciple. But as they spend every day together, she finds him increasingly handsome, refined, and noble. She simply can't bring herself to kill him.
That is, until someone ambushes her. When she wakes up, she finds her magic sealed, her feet shackled, and herself trapped in an underground palace.
Her master, immaculate in white and as ethereal as an immortal, stands before her and looks down at her. "Gu Yan, what method are you going to use to kill me this time?"
Her fragmented memories come rushing back. Looking at her master's handsome face and black heart, Gu Yan is so enraged she spits out a mouthful of blood.
A sanctimonious scoundrel like him deserves to die, not just three hundred times, but three thousand!
1. One-on-one romance, happy ending
2. My take on xianxia. Don't expect scholarly accuracy.
3. This blurb is provisional and may be revised.
