Gu Zhi Yun transmigrated into a book one day.
The good news was that, though she had been on the verge of death due to congenital heart disease, she had been given a chance to be reborn.
The bad news was that she had transmigrated into a classic cultivation novel following the standard genre formula. Yes, the one where the male lead’s family is wiped out, he is humiliated when his engagement is broken off, and he turns his ruined spiritual roots into a path to becoming a genius.
And she was the vicious fiancée who humiliated the male lead, ignored his pleas, and slapped a marriage contract in his face, telling him to get lost.
Her final fate was to join the top cultivation sect, only to be cast out. After demons invaded her family and the male lead, now a powerful cultivator, refused to help her, she took her own life before her parents’ memorial tablets.
Gu Zhi Yun: ...Well, at least she had a little backbone at the end.
Determined to survive, Gu Zhi Yun resolved to train hard and become the strongest person on the continent. But the System that brought her here told her that if she could make the male lead fall in love with her, she would get a healthy body in the real world. Remembering the dull, dreary life in the hospital, Gu Zhi Yun was fired up!
But... she had transmigrated at the worst possible time: the day after the fiancée broke off the engagement.
Gu Zhi Yun: lets out a piercing shriek.
Fine, fine. Staying alive was like surviving tribulation after tribulation. Get through one, and another came along.
The male lead is a virgin.
The female lead has a crowd-pleasing charm, with a touch of old-school Mary Sue.
The author favors the female lead and guarantees she won't be put through angst. No such guarantee for the male lead.
Theme: Life comes first.
So is the male protagonist the one whose engagement was broken off by the original owner?
