After Shen Ning died suddenly, she transmigrated into a cultivation novel as a cannon-fodder character who appeared only as a corpse.
The unlucky System she was bound to had just one mission on its panel: betray the sect and ally with the Demon Lord.
Shen Ning: 6
She had never seen a System that urged its Host to rush to their death before.
The only consolation was the “Fake Death Pill” in the rewards section.
*
The original story only mentioned that Shen Ning, as a traitor, had allied with the Demon Lord. It gave no details about how she did it or how she betrayed the sect. All she could do was wait for the Demon Lord to come looking for her.
Shen Ning had no choice but to keep lying low in the sect.
Until one day, she noticed the mission progress bar move: 2%.
But in the past few days, she had only been in contact with familiar people from the sect. There was no one else...
Wait a minute
Her gaze dropped to the little black dog she had happened to pick up, now sticking its butt in the air, wagging its tail wildly and gnawing on a steak. She fell into deep thought.
The venerable Demon Lord really does have some unusual tastes.

Shen Ning crouched in front of the doghouse and opened the Illustrated Guide to Delicacies of the Demon Realm for the little black fluffball sleeping on its back with all four legs in the air. “Tomorrow, I’ll make you charcoal-grilled Tuotuo Beast with chilled Zhuyu fruit juice.”
Her eyes shifted, and she smiled ingratiatingly. “Esteemed Lord Helian Shuo, when would you say is an auspicious day to betray the sect...?”
Shen Ning didn’t notice that her “weak and helpless” junior brother was nearby, hearing every word.
The young man slowly narrowed his eyes. If he hadn’t misheard, she had just called out his name while talking to a dog?
*
Shen Ning watched as the mission progress soared from 2%. She had assumed the “Demon Lord” was naturally shy and enjoyed playing a role. Who could have guessed she had bowed at the wrong mountain and mistaken the wrong person for her leader?
The dog she had cradled in her hands really was just a dog, while the junior brother she had been ordering around was the actual final boss.
How was she supposed to survive this?!
She might as well die.
