Emotionally steady handler VS gloomy, self-loathing puppy
Qi Yumo was a supporting female character in an old-school cultivation novel, saving the male lead from danger time and again.
The book cast her as the vicious female antagonist who opposed the heroine, the stupid and wicked sort.
In her previous life, she fought the heroine tooth and nail for the male lead’s love.
Only at the end of her life, when her coffin had been sealed and her fate was settled, did she realize she was nothing but a vicious supporting character in a book.
The plot controlled her actions. Everything she did in life existed only to advance the romance between the male and female leads. From beginning to end, she had been nothing but a tool.
When her body died and her soul vanished, Qi Yumo thought that would be the end of her life. She never expected to open her eyes again and find herself back at the age of eighteen.
At the time, the romance between the male and female leads was halfway along, and Qi Yumo was still a junior sister at Lu Xian Sect, not yet deeply entangled with them…
Qi Yumo, reborn: Leave me alone!
This time around, she would never let anyone control her again. She would be the sole master of her own life.

During a training session, Qi Yumo accidentally stumbled into a cave.
By a stroke of luck, she broke the curse binding its prisoner and freed the man sealed inside.
The man was named Zhang Shumin. He said that an evil person had sealed him in the cave, where he had been cut off from the sun for a long time.
Moved by sympathy, Qi Yumo brought him to Lu Xian Sect, listened to him talk about his unhappy past, and taught him martial arts so he could defend himself.
Qi Yumo always thought he was powerless, homeless, and as pitiful as she was.
Until one day, she saw Zhang Shumin silently kill several disciples of the immortal sects with some strange, unfamiliar technique. They had been gossiping about her behind her back.
Only then did Qi Yumo realize what a terrifying person she had brought back…
*
Zhang Shumin had known for a long time that he was a character in a book.
Everyone and everything around him was false, and even he himself was false.
Being reborn was like a curse branded onto his life. He could never escape it.
He was trapped in this world, endlessly repeating the cycle. Each time he woke, it was the same ordeal all over again.
After dying once more, Zhang Shumin closed his eyes as usual and waited for his next cycle. But when he opened them again, the person before him wasn’t his destined enemy. It was a bewildered woman.
She said her name was Qi Yumo, and that she was a disciple of Lu Xian Sect.
…
Through countless cycles, Qi Yumo was the only variable in his hopeless life.
Zhang Shumin feared that when this cycle ended, he might never see her again. So he did everything he could to hold on to her.
He would never dare let go again.
