Delicate, laid-back sweetheart x a corrupted Demon Lord
Ning Tangtang transmigrated into a book, becoming the frail and sickly young sect leader of the Piaomiao Sect.
To stay alive, she accepted a mission from the System: be rescued by the male lead, then insist on offering herself to him and becoming his cultivation partner, turning into a stumbling block in the romance between the male and female leads.
That night, the wind howled and rain lashed down. Ning Tangtang stood waiting with an umbrella along the male lead's inevitable route.
The moment the demons appeared, Ning Tangtang rushed forward.
But the male lead not only failed to save her, she even took a sword strike for him.
Ning Tangtang: Damn it! What a terrible deal!
Though the story took plenty of twists, the ending was perfect.
The male lead escorted Ning Tangtang back to the Piaomiao Sect and, at her request, stayed at the sect for a while.
Since she was playing the villain, there was no need to take the role so seriously.
Ning Tangtang started slacking off on the sly.
During the wound treatment, Ning Tangtang's poor skills nearly turned first aid into murder.
When it came to giving him things, she deliberately bought items the male lead disliked, then stashed them all in her private collection.
During sword lessons, the male lead narrowed his long eyes slightly. "I don't know how to use a sword. But..."
Hearing that she wouldn't have to practice swordsmanship, Ning Tangtang was overjoyed and immediately made an excuse to slip away.
At last, the moment came for her to insist on offering herself to him. Facing the male lead, Ning Tangtang let her cheeks turn just the right shade of pink.
"I took a sword strike for you, so today is the day you repay me. I wish to become your cultivation partner. What do you say?"
The male lead fell silent for a moment, then the corners of his lips slowly curved upward. "All right."
Ning Tangtang: ??? Is that how the script goes?
The System was equally horrified. "Wrong, wrong! The one you've been trying to win over is this book's ultimate villain, the Demon Lord Xie Beichen!"
The System had done a poor job, but Ning Tangtang was the one who had to deal with the consequences.
The ultimate villain, Xie Beichen, was afflicted with karmic fire, had a volatile temperament, and was as unpredictable as the weather.
And he hadn't sent her back to the sect out of kindness. This body of Ning Tangtang's was the perfect sacrifice to suppress the karmic fire.
Ning Tangtang decided it was best to run.
On her wedding day, she offered herself as a sacrifice to suppress the karmic fire, then faked her death and disappeared.
When she awoke again, a hundred years had passed.
Rumor had it that the Demon Empress had killed herself on her wedding day, and the Demon Lord had gone mad on the spot. He had even used a forbidden art to spy on the secrets of heaven, all to bring her back to life.
But rumors were just rumors. The System forced Ning Tangtang to keep completing missions.
After finding out where the male lead would be, she arrived early, pretended to be injured, and collapsed on the ground.
In a haze, Ning Tangtang sensed someone approaching her.
Weak and helpless, she murmured, "Immortal Lord, save me..."
A pair of arms drew her into an embrace. The person parted his lips, his voice low and husky, yet strangely familiar.
"You shouldn't call me Immortal Lord. You should call me husband."
