After Faking His Death, the Swordmaster Regretted It Too Late

[An early work with average writing. Read with caution.] Si Li transmigrates into a male-centered novel. Her mission is to win over the male lead, Yan Xingji, then cruelly abandon him and watch him fall into the gutter. After helping him sever his emotional ties, she must let him run her through with his sword, correcting the original novel's disastrous ending. Yan Xingji looks like the very picture of purity and grace, but in truth he's a black-hearted schemer: aloof and solitary, cold one moment and unpredictable the next. He cultivates the path of heartlessness and is utterly cold and unfeeling. To stay alive, Si Li does her best to keep smiling and works tirelessly to complete her missions, bringing Yan Xingji warmth and shielding him from harm. She accompanies him from a young disciple everyone can bully to a Sword Venerable whose blade shakes the eight wildernesses. She gave him warmth and shielded him from wind and frost. The story proceeds smoothly. Just when Yan Xingji loves her most, Si Li cruelly abandons him and leaves without a word. At last, beneath a sky of fine rain, she takes his hand and guides the sword into her own body, successfully completing her mission and logging off. That day, Yan Xingji, usually so cool and detached, fell from his heavenly pedestal. Tears fell, his proud spirit crumbled, and he yearned for her to look at him just once more. The noble and aloof Sword Venerable of Duyuan used black ice to preserve a corpse for over three hundred years, sleeping beside it day and night, letting obsession consume him. In the cycle of cause and effect, his Dao heart was finally shattered, a heart demon took root, and his path of the heartless sword was utterly destroyed. ** Three hundred years after faking her death, the day Yan Xingji recognized her, Si Li's good days finally came to an end. Yan Xingji came toward her step by step. When she had nowhere left to retreat, his eyes suddenly reddened, and he bent down to carefully pull her into his arms. After that, he chased her to the ends of the earth, pursuing her across the four seas and eight wildernesses, never willing to let go. The story had completely fallen apart, and Si Li had nowhere left to run. Reader's Guide: * The heroine has no heart (literally; the story will explain), and the hero gets put through the wringer. * The story opens with her faking her death. The past is occasionally shown in flashbacks, with a major identity-reveal scene. Theme: Strive for self-improvement and stay positive
