*A cultivation-world version of marriage first, love later
Yan Yue transmigrates into the body of a major villain who covets a goddess of the immortal realm. The original owner was spoiled and willful. Though a demoness, she fell for her sworn enemy.
That sworn enemy, whom she relentlessly pursued, was Xu Qingning, a goddess revered by countless people and the immortal realm’s most promising talent for ascension.
Due to the deranged original owner’s schemes, Xu Qingning’s demonic lineage was exposed. Then, betrayed during a great battle, she lost most of her spiritual power. Abandoned as a pawn, she was sent to Demon Mountain to marry into the demon clan.
On the wedding day, the vicious original owner used a love-binding curse on the heroine, forever robbing her of the chance to become an immortal. The once-glorious goddess was reduced to a songbird caged and kept by her enemy.
Even Yan Yue, a seasoned reader who had seen all sorts of tragic, powerful heroines in novels, couldn’t help sighing: How awful...
Later, the heroine was driven to embrace the darkness, overcome her tribulation, and ascend to immortality. The first thing she did after turning her life around was return to Demon Mountain and make sure the original owner died without a place to bury her.
Readers cheered: Good riddance!!
Only Yan Yue couldn’t smile. She had inexplicably died, then inexplicably transmigrated into a book, and worst of all, she arrived after the original owner had done everything she could to ruin the heroine’s life, with nothing left to do but wait for death...
The shady System: “Want to be reborn?”
Yan Yue: “Of course!!”
System: “Then make the heroine, who has turned to the dark side, see the light.”
Yan Yue: “...”
The System played up the sob story: “The heroine is revered by all, she’s suffered endless abuse, she...”
Yan Yue: “And she’s absolutely brutal...”
Thanks to the original owner, Xu Qingning wanted to kill her wife every day to break the love-binding curse, while Yan Yue spent every day trying to stay alive and desperately boost her affection. At the same time, she had to find a way to put this immortal back on her pedestal as soon as possible:
She emptied her clan’s stores of rare pills and techniques, risked her life entering a forbidden zone to find a divine herb, and used her own spirit as a medicinal catalyst... If Xu Qingning needed something, Yan Yue did everything she could to put it in front of her.
Later, Xu Qingning could barely remember those days of oppression and imprisonment.
Yan Yue gently bandaged her wounds, instinctively pulling her close for shelter in a cave during a downpour... When Xu Qingning’s faith was on the verge of collapsing, Yan Yue took her hand and promised they would succeed.
No one had ever treated Xu Qingning so badly, but no one had ever treated her so... well, either.
Xu Qingning thought in despair: Is this a new way for that woman to torment me?
She hated the demoness who had forced her into marriage and could do nothing about it; she loved her and was at a loss for words.

Later, Xu Qingning overcame her tribulation and ascended. And the first thing she did after taking her seat among the gods really was return to Demon Mountain and capture the little demoness who had packed her belongings and run away.
Everyone was waiting to see Xu Qingning take revenge on Yan Yue, the kind that involved ripping out her tendons and peeling off her skin.
Yan Yue was close to tears.
Wait, did winning her over actually fail?!
