Transmigrate-into-a-book cannon fodder ★ world-weary sword cultivator: a life-and-death pact | mutual salvation.

Cheng Jian transmigrates into a xianxia novel where everyone except the heroine gets a bad ending.

To stay alive, she desperately clings to powerful people. But in the process, she accidentally secures herself a protective talisman: Xiao Qingchen, a human cheat code with a born sword physique.

[Good news]: They're bound together, sharing life and death. He can be summoned at any time, and fortune turns with the talisman.

[Bad news]: He's the deranged male lead who gets tortured out of the original story, profoundly world-weary and always either trying to get himself killed or on his way to doing so.

Cheng Jian: “I know you want to die, but don't die just yet!!!”

If she's poor, she makes talismans to earn money. If she's weak, she trains through competitions. If he's got childhood trauma, they go visit his parents together. Cheng Jian keeps things lively in every possible way, making life as a cultivator colorful and fun.

Until Xiao Qingchen jumps down during a cataclysmic disaster. Cheng Jian finally loses it: “You still want to die, huh? Fine, fine. I'm tired. Let's just destroy the world!”

Xiao Qingchen's indifferent gaze softens. “If you want to live, then I'll stay with you.”

Later, Xiao Qingchen thinks: With you here, this world doesn't seem quite so boring after all.

In the eyes of the disciples of the immortal sect, Xiao Qingchen is a heaven-blessed prodigy, superior to all others, an outrageously gifted sword cultivator whose cultivation rises even while he sleeps.

In reality, Xiao Qingchen is antisocial, likes hugs, and is a world-weary little sword cultivator who casually sold himself as a protective talisman.
