Ye Chichi transmigrates into a cultivation novel, becoming the heroine of an old-school angst story. In the original, unable to have the man she loves, she drags the male lead onto the Immortal-Slaying Platform with her, ending in a double-death finale.
Her mission is to completely rewrite the book's bad ending, win over its male lead, the aloof immortal lord Xie Jiuyuan, and achieve a happy ending for everyone.
The bad news: Ye Chichi has never read the original novel, and she's bound to a useless System.
The good news: After transmigrating, Ye Chichi has extraordinary talent and is extremely beautiful.
Starting with peerless beauty on her side, Ye Chichi thinks: Men are visual creatures. Whether he's an aloof immortal lord or an arrogant junior brother, she just has to get him firmly under her thumb!
Then the unexpected happens.
Xie Jiuyuan is unmoved by her beauty, which has stunned the six realms, and keeps her at arm's length.
He runs, she chases, and every time, she's the one who ends up a cannon-fodder casualty.
No matter how many times she starts over, no matter how many blades she takes for Xie Jiuyuan, his affection always gets stuck at 99%, never reaching the finish line.
Finally, after her ninth failed attempt, all kinds of disastrous endings start popping up, and the System crashes under the strain.
Ye Chichi returns once more to the day she first met Xie Jiuyuan.
When she sees that the same three-part package of physical and emotional torment is about to begin all over again, Ye Chichi, who's been through it nine times, says: Thanks, but no thanks. I can't take any more of this. I'll pass.
System: Plot point one: Take a sword for the male lead in the secret realm. It will pierce right through you, but you'll become the male lead's white moonlight.
Ye Chichi (beckoning): Come here. I'll give you two big slaps!
System: Plot point two: Stop the supporting female character from drugging the male lead. You'll get slapped, disfigured, and lose your shining moment, but you'll become the male lead's cinnabar mole.
Ye Chichi (rubbing her hands): I played nice and missed my chance the first nine times. Now it's my turn to have some fun with the male lead.
System: ...
Avoiding every key plot point, Ye Chichi diligently cultivates, quietly settles into retirement, and occasionally flirts with her junior brother. She lives a relaxed, carefree life.
Until one day, when she's packed her bags and is about to head down the mountain to enjoy the mortal world, the usually aloof and self-possessed immortal lord pins her against the edge of the bed, his beautiful serpent tail winding tightly around her.
His eyes redden as he grits out, “You think you can run after sleeping with me? Not a chance.”
Ye Chichi is dumbfounded.
This is a disaster!
The aloof immortal lord has turned into a creepy, possessive ghost!
You certainly didn't say that when we got out of bed!
Reading Guide:
1. This is a romance-focused writing exercise and a debt repayment. I'm trying hard to write a convincing push and pull. If I fail, don't hesitate to run!
2. The male lead isn't a scumbag. One-on-one romance, happy ending.
3. The male lead only ever loves the heroine, from beginning to end.
4. I'll add more if I think of anything.
