Rejecting Jade

"Title to be changed"

[Oblivious x Obsessive]

Chi Yu transmigrated into a storybook after neglecting her cultivation to sneak a peek at a romance novel.

To get back home, Chi Yu has to follow the original plot and play the second female lead, who's infatuated with the male protagonist.

She puts her whole heart into "adoring" him, just waiting for the end, when she'll give up her core to help him ascend and then go home.

Chi Yu diligently follows the male protagonist to vanquish demons day after day, but to little effect.

Until one day, while down the mountain, she sees a woman in a village.

The woman's name is Jiang Wanyue. She is so stunningly beautiful that the other disciples can't take their eyes off her.

Chi Yu can't take her eyes off her either.

Because Jiang Wanyue is worth a full two hundred Flying Heavens!

Chi Yu immediately decides to save her.

Though Chi Yu has never killed anyone, Jiang Wanyue is a demonic cultivator, and no one agrees to let Chi Yu bring her back.

But Chi Yu stands firm.

That's because Jiang Wanyue never appeared in the original book. She's the most minor of minor cannon fodder characters.

Saving her won't affect anything at all.

She never imagined that this casual rescue would change the future of the entire world.

Jiang Wanyue grew up in the most wicked place in the world.

No one had ever treated her kindly, but just as she was about to be killed, when her heart had turned to ash, a woman appeared and saved her.

The woman told her, "Live."

She also said that she was only being kind to Jiang Wanyue because she wanted to go home.

Go home. Jiang Wanyue silently repeated the words.

Later, when that woman had exhausted her cultivation and lay in Jiang Wanyue's arms, saying she really had to go home, Jiang Wanyue clutched her sleeve and bit down on her pale lips.

She said nothing.

In the first year after becoming ruler of the world, Jiang Wanyue killed the male protagonist who had killed Chi Yu with her own hands.

In the tenth year, war raged across the land, flames soared into the sky, and heavenly punishments fell everywhere.

In the hundredth year, every immortal sect had been slaughtered, and the entire cultivation world had fallen.

When Chi Yu was cast down to the mortal realm and appeared before Jiang Wanyue again, Jiang Wanyue showed the first smile she'd had in a hundred years.

Chi Yu was furious enough to explode.

She had given all her cultivation to Jiang Wanyue, even her core, hoping to free Jiang Wanyue from the shackles of demonic cultivation as soon as possible.

She never expected it would lead to the first Demon God in ten thousand years.

Or a golden cage that would imprison her completely.
