I'm Really Not a Snake Demon!

Helan Yi transmigrates into a book, landing in an xianxia cultivation novel about leveling up, one she barely remembers. She becomes the cannon-fodder white moonlight who is falsely accused of being an evil snake demon and then killed by the novel's protagonist, the legendary hero (crossed out) Daoist Lin Xuexing.

To make matters worse, Lin Xuexing is staring straight at her, the unlucky soul who just transmigrated into the book and immediately fell flat on her face.

Helan Yi slowly climbs out of the grass, spits out a mouthful of weeds, then stares blankly at Lin Xuexing, the man who's going to kill her, and lets out a despairing cry:

"Could you not make this so melodramatic?!"

After her cry, Lin Xuexing presses Ting Jun Yan against Helan Yi's throat.

Helan Yi is horrified: Σ( ° △ °|||)︴

Daoist brother! Let's talk this out! Could you not be so aggressive and hold a sword to my throat?! I'm really not a snake demon!!!

From her fragmented memories, Lin Xuexing is the legendary overpowered protagonist of a wish-fulfillment novel, the kind who conquers heaven, earth, and the air itself.

And she is the cannon-fodder white moonlight who will accidentally leave the male lead feeling guilty for the rest of his life.

This unfortunate character will suffer all kinds of physical and emotional abuse, including being falsely accused of losing control of her demonic nature and killing innocent civilians, being imprisoned by the male lead until she dies, and finally dying in his arms after telling him with devotion, "I don't blame you"...

As she dwells on the tragic details, Helan Yi works herself into a furious fit and smashes the already-wobbly wooden table...

Lin Xuexing stiffens at the sight of the broken table. "...Would you like a sweet pastry?"

Helan Yi glares at him, then takes an especially vicious bite of the pastry he offers and snaps, "Pah! Scumbag!"

Lin Xuexing quietly lets out a breath of relief, lowers his eyes, and wipes the crumbs from the corner of her mouth. "...Swallow before you insult me."

Important note:

The heroine's surname is Helan, a compound surname, not He.
