A seemingly cold, slow-to-soften heroine x a seemingly gentle and understanding male lead, but secretly fallen to darkness
One morning, overworked office drone Jiang Qi'an wakes up and finds that she has transmigrated into a book.
With no ties left in the real world, and having learned that cultivation here runs on a six-hour workday, with four days on and three days off, Jiang Qi'an is overjoyed and decides to stay for good!
Every day, she diligently memorizes her lessons and cleans, does her best as the eldest senior sister of her sect, and follows her senior brother in bringing honor to their sect.
Alone in the dead of night, she lies in bed and can't help laughing out loud. This is incredible! Life is perfect, absolutely perfect!
Then her junior brother insists that Jiang Qi'an is a spy from the demon clan and stabs straight through her.
Against her will, she declares, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Never look down on a young man for being poor. When I return, I will bring the world to ruin!"
She gets it now. She's got the villain's comeback story.
Once she's inherited all the memories, she understands completely.
She's the great villain in a male-oriented novel, responsible for doing one reckless thing after another until the male lead stabs her and gets the loot that will be a huge boost on his path to godhood.
Locked away on the Cliff of Severed Affections, Jiang Qi'an waits in tears for her original self's number-one underling to escape with the treasures they've hoarded for twenty years and make a comeback.
But the person who comes to save her is none other than her distinguished and noble senior brother, Chu Qingyan!
After discussing it, the two kick the original storyline aside and support each other all the way from street thugs in the demon realm to the Demon King.
With eight hundred thousand followers, countless mansions, and fame and success, she's ready to recruit a harem, ahem, talented people, when
the real transmigrated-into-a-book heroine climbs over in the middle of the night and knocks on her door. "Sis, could you find a time to do the main quest? I can't stand doing these stupid System tasks for another day."
Jiang Qi'an sits on her luxurious Demon King throne, gilded, studded with eight thousand diamonds, and fitted with a silkworm-silk cushion. She looks at the quest the transmigrated heroine hands her: Stop the fallen male lead, Chu Qingyan, from destroying the world. Current corruption level: 100%.
Scene Break
Chu Qingyan's path of cultivation has been full of hardships. During his darkest days, everyone abandoned him, leaving only one silly little girl who stayed by his side and tried her best to encourage him with clumsy words of comfort.
He knows all too well that his life can only get worse from here, because he's the male lead of a wish-fulfillment comeback novel, and this is what he's destined to go through.
Then he binds himself to a System.
"Are you my Host, Xu Weixing? Listen, in three days the villainous Demon King Jiang Qi'an will be locked away on the Cliff of Severed Affections. When that happens, go into her room, take the two hundred thousand treasures she's stashed away, and rescue her. After you two struggle through a rough patch, you'll be living the high life. You might even become her number-one underling!"
Chu Qingyan: Got it. I'll make sure I work my way up to being her one and only wife.
System: ?
Theme: Face hardships with a positive attitude. Hard work always pays off.
