Sickly One, Don't Turn Evil, Okay?!

"I can calculate the heavens and earth, and the human heart. I can scheme for every eventuality, yet I can't figure out my own heart."

A beauty-obsessed powerhouse who wears her heart on her sleeve, like a little sun × a sickly schemer who can kill without a trace

Bai Xiyin transmigrated into a male-oriented fantasy novel.

Her mission was to win over Xiao Ji, the stunningly beautiful but frail villain from the original story, teach him to love, and stop him from turning evil.

One moment, Bai Xiyin: I absolutely refuse to woo anyone!

The next, she gazed at the gentle, jade-like beauty before her and whispered, "Someone this gorgeous... I suppose I could make an exception."

So she became Xiao Ji's bodyguard. Everyone in the martial world knew that wherever Xiao Ji went, a strange, super-strong girl was never more than three feet away.

The girl looked sweet and harmless, but she could punch a little monster into oblivion.

Xiao Ji was the male protagonist's foil.

The male protagonist had extraordinary talent and became famous across the continent at a young age; Xiao Ji had no spiritual roots at all and was the continent's laughingstock.

The male protagonist was free-spirited and had confidantes across the continent; Xiao Ji was a loner, with no women anywhere near him.

The male protagonist came from humble beginnings and face-slapped the powerful; Xiao Ji was born into a prestigious family and became a cripple.

Until one day, a talkative, lovestruck powerhouse of a girl appeared at his side. She kept saying she would save him from danger, but her hand couldn't help wandering over his abs.

The girl was terrified of dying, yet could punch a little monster with every blow. She watched over him for three days and nights in the Netherworld Valley.

This same girl, so afraid of death, lovestruck, and unbearably annoying, carried him across the four continents and five seas to find a ghost doctor and cure the deadly poison in his body when he was on the verge of death.

Yet this same girl, so loyal and earnest, who confessed her love directly every day and night, slipped away without a backward glance and vanished from the world just as he was falling deeper and deeper, loving her as much as his own life.

And so Xiao Ji grew even more deranged.

He slaughtered his way across the four continents and five seas, guarding the place where they first met. He kept watch there for three hundred years.

The heroine's name comes from the line, "In an empty studio I remember the guardian of Xie, yet only the old echoes remain."

Mutual first love, both virgins, happy ending.

The heroine fakes her death for a reason.
