Lin Wanqing is transported into a female-led novel with no romance, where she becomes a villain's cousin who doesn't exist in the original story.
She has two tasks:
First, protect the heroine, Yun Fuyu, before she comes into her own.
Second, get close to the villain and use her ill-fated destiny to bring about his death.
Lin Wanqing: Who did you say?
System: [That's right, the sinister, ruthless villain who kills without batting an eye: the evil yao, Xie Jingyao.]
By a stroke of luck, she disrupts the villain's killing formation and gains a golden finger: their lives are linked, and they share each other's pain.
Lin Wanqing: There's such a good deal?
In front of others, the villain is always a refined gentleman, mild as jade. Only around Lin Wanqing does he reveal his cold-blooded brutality.
Lin Wanqing trembles with fear. Then she remembers he can't do anything to her, and little by little, she stops being afraid.
Until one day, the world turns upside down and the golden finger stops working. It's the perfect chance to kill the heroine.
And, unfortunately, Lin Wanqing gets separated from her.
Lin Wanqing grabs the villain as he turns to leave. "I'm scared. Could you stay with me?"
The youth leans down beside her ear, his ponytail brushing her cheek and sending a shiver through her.
He says, "All right."
She will never know that when he sensed the bond between them had broken, he hurt his own arm just to make sure.
To make sure she wouldn't leave him.

Xie Jingyao is the ancient great demon Zhulong, immortal and as long-lived as Heaven itself. He has been reborn many times, and the only unexpected variable is a girl who appeared out of nowhere.
The girl claims to be his cousin, and says they're bound by a life-linking pact.
At first, he can't kill her.
Later, he doesn't want to kill her.
Then, when he stands against the Child of Destiny and they both suffer devastating injuries, the girl walks up to him and runs her sword straight through his heart without hesitation.
Yet he trembles as he lifts a pristine flower in his bloodstained hands.
"I found the flower I lost before."
Won't you come back, too?

A rainy night, an inn.
Xie Jingyao knocks on Lin Wanqing's door, saying he was worried she'd be cold and brought her a blanket.
Yun Fuyu passes by and sighs. "What a good big brother."
On the other side of the wall, the "good big brother" pins his cousin to the bed and kisses her.
The inn bed creaks and groans, amid a torrent of suggestive whispers.
Theme: Love all things.
