Diligent, pitiful little tool character vs. smiling, venomous-hearted white-lotus villain
Blurb:
Jin Yi transmigrates into a book and becomes a little mute. The System wants her to win over Li Xingzhou, the white-lotus villain from the story.
Jin Yi throws down the book. How am I supposed to win someone over when I can't talk, damn it!
The very next moment, the great villain Li Xingzhou takes her home and cures her muteness.
In the original story, Li Xingzhou is hypocritical, falsely benevolent, vicious, and cruel: a black-hearted white lotus who devours people without even spitting out the bones. To win him over, Jin Yi can only grit her teeth and play along as he assigns her all sorts of identities.
In the jianghu, Daoist Yuchan is known as pure and noble as a breeze, a Guanyin who seems to float above the moonlit waters. In truth, Li Xingzhou is all smiles and venom, a master schemer, a first-rate white lotus who toys with people's hearts.
When they first meet, rain pours down and the mountains crumble. Jin Yi lies in the muddy water, covered in wounds. The hem of a plain white Daoist robe stops beside her. Before she can make out the wearer's face, something cold touches her lips, and she is fed a poisonous insect.
After that, a new rumor spreads through the jianghu: Daoist Yuchan always has a frail little shadow trailing after him. Supposedly, she's a poor orphan he rescued from a flood.
Everyone says the Daoist has a heart of compassion. Only Jin Yi knows that every night at midnight, this smiling, benevolent figure strips off her clothes and traces her spine inch by inch with icy fingertips, listening for the heartbeat of the poisonous insect called "Yuchan" that he has raised inside her...
