One day, Su Jinjin woke up to discover that she was the stepsister who had relentlessly pursued the male lead and made a complete fool of herself.
The good news: Three years had passed since all her ridiculous antics.
The bad news: The story hadn't officially begun yet.
Little Flower, a System shaped like a peach blossom woven from red threads, told her with utmost seriousness, "Your mission is to tie red strings between the characters who appear."
Tie! Red! Strings!
That's right.
Not slaughtering everyone, not being surrounded by handsome men, but matchmaking for other people.
How is that any different from doing good deeds?
Unfortunately, a lowly wage slave has no right to choose.
Her protest went nowhere, so she had no choice but to embark on the road to making other people's matches.
But the world had changed, and times had moved on.
The Yun Chuan Continent.
Humans, demons, monsters, and ghosts stood in a precarious balance, each race scheming against the others, with a war on the brink of breaking out.
Su Jinjin possessed a secret technique and inexplicably became the object of everyone's frantic pursuit.
Trembling, she struggled to survive in the cracks, convinced deep down that she might not live long enough to complete this glorious and great mission.
Even more terrifying, the young master of the demon clan, who had been undercover beside the original story's leads, had now donned a guise even more dazzling than the male lead's and become an honored guest at their sect. And, to make matters worse, he had latched onto her.
From then on, while forcing herself to tie red strings between these heaven-blessed prodigies whose minds were filled with schemes and power struggles, Su Jinjin accidentally became an eccentric flower, weeping in the wind amid a chaotic era.
Mini-scene one:
The male and female leads support each other through a perilous secret realm, fighting to survive, with two deadweight tagalongs behind them.
The male lead blushes. The female lead's eyes curve into a smile. The moment is perfect.
Su Jinjin takes out a packet of roses she painstakingly grew and hands them to Nan Rong Jing. "Quick, set the mood for me. Scatter them over their heads."
Then a whole packet of roses comes crashing down on the two of them.
You did that on purpose, didn't you? Didn't you?
Mini-scene two:
Onlooker one: "Did you hear? After the demon clan's young master was exposed as an undercover agent, he flew into a rage and kidnapped Su Jinjin from the Liuguang Sword Sect. He even snatched her away right under her fiance's nose, just to humiliate our human race."
Onlooker two: "Now she can't cause trouble anymore. I hear Nan Rong Jing is violent by nature and hates empty-headed fools like her most of all."
The fool herself, seated in the demon clan's imperial palace: "My life is so hard."
The demon clan's young master, whose own little brother has been forced to contribute to her KPI: "You have some nerve saying that."
Theme: Love and justice, one of them will always arrive first
