My Senior Brother Rewrote My Death-Wish Script

Shen Rong was a low-energy, easygoing employee who had worked for the quick transmigration bureau for years and repeatedly won the "Most Emotionally Stable Character" award. Then she received a mission that didn't suit her at all.

In a dangerous cultivation world centered on a male lead, she had to play a cannon-fodder female supporting character who did nothing but make a fuss and get herself killed.

A challenge.

Shen Rong tapped the standard-issue gear from the bureau, an utterly ordinary ancient sword, and looked at the hefty advance on her pay. She decided to step outside her comfort zone.

Who knew that after entering the mission world, Shen Rong would face the worst professional crisis of her life?

Every time she tried to get herself killed, she failed.

In a secret realm, she pretended to be sulking and wandered into a forest that was obviously poisonous. The entire team was wiped out, and she was the only one who found a treasure.

During an excursion down the mountain, she pretended to twist her ankle and stayed behind alone in a village overrun by evil spirits. Her fellow disciples were all captured by demons, and she had to be the one to rescue them.

While undercover among the demons, she pretended to panic and methodically "stumbled upon" the Demon King's true form. At last, she waited for him to come kill her in the middle of the night, only for someone to stab him before she could blink.

Even the unflappable Shen Rong couldn't stay calm. "...What is going on?"

Why was it so hard to get herself killed?

After saving Shen Rong's life for the 108th time, Xie Heng, the tragic and powerful antagonist senior brother who wouldn't appear until the latter part of the original story, sighed and decided to come out of the sword early. He would ask his cheap junior sister himself how she managed to act so methodically, remain so calm, and look every bit like a brilliant commander, yet hit every landmine without fail.

"My junior sister's heart is like stone. What could possibly move her?"

(Reunited after a long separation; the heroine has lost her memory.)

--- Synopsis for the ongoing novel Don't Fall in Love with Your Senior Brother!

Ji Chu died by her senior brother's sword in her previous life.

Her senior brother cultivated the Heartless Sword Dao, slaying countless demons without a moment's hesitation.

After she was framed for falling to demonic cultivation and forced to leave the sect, he killed her, too.

When she woke again, Ji Chu had been reborn before ever meeting her senior brother.

Determined to change her fate, she resolved:

This time, she would watch what she said and did, stay away from her senior brother, and if they couldn't be on good terms as fellow disciples, they would be strangers who kept out of each other's way.

But who could have guessed that her usually aloof senior brother would personally teach her swordsmanship, accompany her in cultivation every day, and even confess his love to her?!

*

In this life, the person Meng Yuci cared about most was his junior sister, Ji Chu.

When he was trapped and hunted by evil spirits and had lost all hope, she broke through the barrier to save his life, carving a ray of light through his despair.

At first, all he wanted was to keep her safe.

But then he personally taught her to cultivate and practice the sword, and stayed by her through her joys and sorrows. He learned to cook and style her hair for her, breaking his principles time and again.

He grew selfish, wanting to stay by her side forever, even if only as her senior brother.

But he wanted even more to help her raise her sword and cut through the clouds, soaring ever higher. He would have no regrets, even in death.

But he never imagined that, in her memories, he had once killed her.

Premise: Cherish life.
