No one has ever been as unlucky a transmigrator as Yu Ting. No one.
She transmigrated into a fantasy novel as a fledgling little monster, and the very next second, the Sword Immortal of the age stuffed her into a demon-catching pouch.
Then he kept her locked up for three hundred years.
Yu Ting: ...It's like being forced to travel abroad, only to be dragged off and thrown in jail the moment you land.
The only stroke of luck was that she was so weak she couldn't even manage a basic attack, so the Sword Immortal didn't kill her.
Instead, he fed her his own spiritual power, as if raising a harmless little pet.
There was no day or night in the demon-catching pouch. Under the effects of the Sword Immortal's spiritual power, she was always woozy, lazing around all day like a salted fish and thinking this was how her life as a monster would be forever.
Then one day, the Sword Immortal fell to demonic cultivation, the pouch shattered, and she was suddenly released.

Now free, Yu Ting planned to keep living the lazy life: eating, drinking, and traveling the world.
The System, which had been offline for ages, suddenly appeared and told her she had to save the tragic hero.
As it turned out, in the book, after accidentally falling to demonic cultivation, the Sword Immortal went on a killing spree, slaughtering several major sects and becoming the enemy of the entire cultivation world. He went completely berserk, and that would have been one thing if he'd stayed that way, but one day he came to his senses.
The man who had once cared for the world and wanted only to save all living beings saw the crimes he had committed. His Daoist heart collapsed, and he resolutely chose death.
Yu Ting, expressionless: "Oh. What happens if I don't want to save him?"
The System didn't answer.
And yet, not long after she left, she came back on her own and led away the Sword Immortal, who was out of his mind and had lost all his memories.
Shen Rongci's eyes were full of murderous fury, but when he smelled the strong aura of his spiritual power on her, the blood-red demonic haze in his eyes faded, and he grew docile.
He asked, "Where are you taking me, Madam?"
Yu Ting: ? How did this handsome guy get so dumb?
She glanced at his stunning face, beautiful enough to make the stars shatter over Jade Mountain, and decided this was a good deal. She could always run once it was over!

The System was constantly disrupted by Shen Rongci's spiritual power, so it couldn't see what was happening to its Host. It only managed to pop up every ten days or half a month.
One night, it heard its Host's inner monologue:
Yu Ting: "I have to find a way to run before he gets his memories back! Ahhh!!!"
But she didn't know that after she fell asleep, Shen Rongci lifted a lock of her hair and tied it together with his own, then took out a demon-catching pouch.
In the darkness, one half of his gaze was cool and sacred, the other half obsessively demonic.
"Why are you always trying to run, little monster?"
"Maybe I shouldn't have let you out..."
The System was horrified: The Host is in danger!
