Shen Shiwei had loved Luo Tongshang like a madwoman for years, becoming the laughingstock of all Penglai.
No one knew that she had actually transmigrated into a male-led cultivation novel, becoming a cannon-fodder female side character meant to make the male lead and heroine shine. Bound to a conquest System, she chased after the male lead for over a hundred years just to avoid being struck by lightning.
But the conquest progress still hadn't budged.
After nearly going berserk, the System told her that a bug had caused her to pursue the wrong person all along.
Shen Shiwei clenched her fists. "F***..." (Ten thousand words omitted here.)
System: "Please have the Host pursue the true moonlight in your heart."
Shen Shiwei: "No! I'm going on strike!"
"Rumble!"
A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, reducing Shen Shiwei to a charred husk.
Amid the scattered ashes, she coughed out a mouthful of black smoke and croaked, "I... agree, okay?"
Forced to leave the mountain, Shen Shiwei met a gentle, powerful young man in white behind the red maple woods of Liuxian Valley. Together, they escaped alive.
Just as she asked his name, ready to thank him, the System chimed in: "The conquest target has been detected. Host, please begin your conquest."
Looking at the face before her, bright as the moon, Shen Shiwei thought, "I suppose I could do that."
And so she latched onto Pei Yijing. No matter how often he tried to send her away, she used all seventy-two of her tricks to pester him relentlessly.
Later, at Lancang River, Shen Shiwei was accused of colluding with the demons.
The Demon Venerable in white came through the crashing waves and stood before Shen Shiwei, sword in hand.
"I'm the one who colluded with her."
Shen Shiwei stared at him in shock. "Wait, what? I always thought you were a good person."
How had her kind savior, her moonlight, turned into the big bad villain?
On a rainy night one hundred and sixteen years ago, Pei Yijing rescued a little girl.
She thanked him again and again, then asked him to point her toward the path to immortality.
Pei Yijing casually pointed east.
Years later, when they met again, he had long since forgotten her. But the girl, dressed in Penglai green, clung to his sleeve and followed him everywhere. She was like a piece of sticky candy, impossible to shake off.
Pei Yijing couldn't be bothered to deal with her, so he let her do as she pleased.
Later, trapped in the Heavenly Pool by the various immortal sects, he struggled to open his eyes. All he saw was a flash of green as she rushed in, tugged on his sleeve, and bared her teeth at him. "Pei Yijing, if you dare die just like this, I'll bite you hard one more time, then forget all about you."
Pei Yijing raised a hand covered in bloody gashes and gently touched her cheek. "Then forget me."
Her answer was a resounding slap.
