[A story about spirited young men and women]
[A gloomy, scheming puppy who would rather be a wife than stick to her villainess ambitions]
After transmigrating into a book, Yu Qingzhi becomes a cannon-fodder supporting character with formidable abilities but steadily deteriorating senses.
All she wants is to lie flat in a quiet corner, ignore the System’s quest to reform the villain, and live an ordinary life. She even picks up a little bird to raise.
The world-destroying BOSS, Xie Jingchen, is still only a junior disciple who gets bullied by his sect every day. He can only eat watery scraps so bland they might as well have no taste, and sleeps on a damp, hard wooden bed. His life is dreary and miserable.
Yet he remains courteous, gentle, and virtuous. He even carefully mends his own torn clothes. There’s not the slightest sign of the antisocial, villainous streak he’ll develop in the future.
He and Yu Qingzhi are worlds apart.
Then one day, while she was lying around, Yu Qingzhi suddenly became connected to his senses.
Watching Xie Jingchen’s fellow disciples laugh as they knocked his scraps onto the ground, Yu Qingzhi, who was now forced to share his hunger, was speechless: “...”
For the sake of her own comfort, Yu Qingzhi decided to make good use of him.
*
Contrary to her expectations, the junior disciple was surprisingly obedient, good-natured, handsome, and blessed with sharp senses.
He never went against her, and his current abilities made him seem like an easy pushover. He was practically born to be a kept man!
Secret realm.
Yu Qingzhi: “This doesn’t taste good.” It’s too bland, no flavor. She wanted to experience eating grilled skewers.
Xie Jingchen smiled and casually tossed away a rare, century-old spirit herb. “I don’t want it either.”
Spirit pool.
Yu Qingzhi: “This isn’t nice to soak in.” It’s too cold and uncomfortable. She wanted to experience soaking in a hot spring.
Xie Jingchen smiled and turned down a spot to cultivate in a peerless spirit pool. “I don’t want to soak either.”
Everyone else in the sect: “...”
There are fools every year, but this year there are two.
When the latest sect trial ended, everyone stared at Yu Qingzhi’s first-place results and was dumbfounded.
...So I was the fool all along?
*
Though her senses kept deteriorating, Yu Qingzhi’s life grew more comfortable by the day, thanks to making use of her junior disciple.
At last, Yu Qingzhi found her dream home, perfect for lying flat. It had a reasonable price, great amenities, and even allowed pets.
While Xie Jingchen was being confined, she took the world’s sharpest sword and happily prepared to pack up and run away. But on that day...
Outside her door, silence reigned. The top-grade magic formations set up by countless elders and powerful cultivators had vanished without a trace. A tall figure stood quietly beside her bed.
No one had noticed him.
“Qingzhi,” said the junior disciple, who never disobeyed her, his voice calm and innocent. “Why are you leaving?”
“Am I still not useful enough?”
[I know you’ve been using me all along.]
[Then use me as much as you like.]
She had tamed the most vicious, unhinged dog in the world.
[Bonus scene]
Xie Jingchen: “Where are you going?”
Yu Qingzhi: “? Next door to eat.” It’s less than a hundred meters away.
Xie Jingchen: “...Are you coming back?”
Yu Qingzhi: “.”
Yu Qingzhi: “...Stop tugging on my clothes.”
[A girl who just wants to eat well, drink well, and stay alive x a successfully tamed, double-standard, scheming mad dog (insecure, the male lead’s finest dowry =v=)]
[Taming a large, loyal dog]
[Neither lead is perfect. They’re young men and women growing up.]
[The male lead is completely love-struck. He’d rather be his wife’s dog than focus on his world-destroying ambitions (?). Read at your own discretion, qwq.]
