[Blurb]
Xu Xinlan is beaten within an inch of her life by a demon beast when she suddenly awakens to the truth: she's the sect's fake heiress and cannon-fodder villainess in a power-fantasy novel about a destined hero.
Her fate is to be shot dead by the real heiress.
With her immortal meridians destroyed, Xu Xinlan grits her teeth and asks to leave the mountain. Whoever wants to be the villainess can take the job. She's done.
She never imagined she'd run into Qi Guihe again after coming down the mountain.
He is both the little beggar she kindly saved years ago and the culprit behind her death.
Xu Xinlan, now armed with knowledge of the plot, sneers. She won't fall for the same trick twice!
But later, why does he keep putting off making his move, while his gaze grows more and more suggestive?
*
In his past life, Qi Guihe mistook Xu Xinlan for Wen Ning, leading to the tragic death of the woman he loved.
The usually cold and heartless great general of the Demon Cult held the girl's corpse in his arms, unable to speak for a long time. At last, he spent most of his remaining lifespan to cast a forbidden reversal spell. In an instant, time and space turned back.
Even if he had to trade his life for hers, he would see her smile again.
The blazing sun pried open his eyelids. He had returned to the point where everything went wrong.
The day he had coaxed Xu Xinlan into falling to the demonic path.
But she had changed. She no longer trusted him.
Everything had changed, and he had completely forgotten his original purpose. All he remembered was that he had to keep her by his side.
She wasn't willing, so he would make her willing.
