The Villain's Childhood Friend Is a Long Aotian

[Useless Effort, Unlucky Childhood Friend x Crazy, Gentle Househusband]

As the lowest-performing employee in the transmigration-into-a-book department, Ye Zhen receives what may be the last assignment of her career: kill Mu Wuwei, the book's arrogant, chosen male lead.

If she fails, she will be forcibly erased.

The System tells her that, as the plot requires, Mu Wuwei will be betrayed by the person closest to him, pushed to the brink of death, and then rise again to become the true chosen one.

For now, though, he's just an ordinary swordsman with a little talent.

After transmigrating into the book as Mu Wuwei's junior apprentice sister and childhood friend, Ye Zhen spends the time it takes to burn a stick of incense carefully observing him, then reaches a conclusion:

Is that really just a little talent?! That's more like a billion little bits of talent!

A direct approach is out of the question, so Ye Zhen quickly comes up with N viable plans.

Plan One: Sneak into her senior brother's room and lay a spirit-fire formation to burn him to death!

Ye Zhen sneaks out of Mu Wuwei's room, only to be caught red-handed by the room's owner as he happens to open the door.

From then on, rumors around the sect grow more and more outrageous.

"When the junior apprentice sister was caught, she was still hiding the senior apprentice brother's personal clothing on her!"

Ye Zhen: !!! That's not true! I didn't do that! Don't make things up!

Plan Two: Get captured by the demon clan, trick her senior brother into entering a perilous place, and finish him off!

Mu Wuwei charges through all twelve palaces of the demon realm alone, sword in hand. As he carries Ye Zhen out in his arms, she senses that something is wrong, forms a hand seal, and triggers the mechanism she planted in advance.

System: Ding! Congratulations on helping the male lead achieve the feat: A real man never looks back at an explosion!

Ye Zhen: .

The day Plan N ends in failure, Ye Zhen decides to pull out her ultimate move. Under the pretense of having a drink, she gets Mu Wuwei to swallow a truth-telling spirit medicine, then goes straight to interrogating him about his weakness!

That night, the Milky Way gleams across the sky and the moon hangs at its zenith. The white-robed young man, his cheeks faintly flushed, props his chin on his hand and smiles at her, tapping a finger against his own heart.

"My weakness is you, junior apprentice sister."

"So... if you want to kill me, just plunge your sword in here."
