After Faking My Death, Everyone Regretted It

Gu Ran was pulled by the System into a cultivation novel.

To cultivate the Heartless Dao and overcome romantic entanglements, the original owner had bound three destined partners to herself as disciples all at once.

The first disciple, Fu Rong, had a blood feud with the original owner. It was kill or be killed;

The second disciple, Lin Mu, carried the blood of an immortal phoenix. The original owner had humiliated her, and she wanted nothing more than to kill her for revenge;

The third disciple, Zi Yin, was born a demon, with no feelings to speak of.

Looking at her three disciples, Gu Ran drew in a sharp breath. She wanted to grab a bucket and run right then and there, but the System wouldn't let her. It ordered her to win them over.

Later, to save Fu Rong, Gu Ran knelt before her enemy and bowed her head. To help Lin Mu take human form sooner, Gu Ran nourished her with her blood every day. To keep Zi Yin's demonic bloodline from being discovered, Gu Ran poured her heart and soul into creating a cultivation method tailored just for her. In the end, all of it became arrows aimed at Gu Ran.

Fu Rong drove a sword into her heart to avenge their blood feud;

Lin Mu shot at her from hiding, wishing she were dead;

Zi Yin walked straight past her without even looking.

They all thought she wouldn't die, and that they would hate her forever.

Who knew Gu Ran had already exhausted herself and would simply die young?

-

After failing to win them over, Gu Ran had thought she would die. Instead, the System abandoned her, and when she awoke again, three hundred years had passed.

Gu Ran dragged her ailing body off to a quiet place to retire, but suddenly a war between immortals and demons broke out.

Caught in the crossfire, Gu Ran had no choice but to flee with everyone else, sick body and all.

On the way, she heard that Fu Rong, the overlord of the human realm, had gone mad. In her arrogance, she had raised an army to attack the demon realms and exact revenge for her master.

Everyone was talking, and they all said Fu Rong was devoted.

Gu Ran: ...

Gu Ran: Thanks, but I was the one who got stabbed just a little while ago.

Theme: Don't go dumpster-diving for a wife.
