Turns Out I'm Not the Heroine

[Sweet-faced, dark-hearted yandere ghost × beautiful and kindhearted eldest daughter of an immortal sect]

[Love across two lifetimes, a real male ghost's two-life-long crush finally comes true]

Yun Miaoyin was the most dazzling young woman in the Immortal Capital, the most gifted disciple in the Nine Heavens Profound Sect in thousands of years. Her status was noble, her beauty peerless, and the four seas paid homage to her.

Yet in the end, she died at the hands of the prestigious immortal sect that had raised her to the altar.

Only after her death did she learn that her world was merely a book.

The heroine of the book was her junior sister, whose six senses were impaired. The hero was her childhood sweetheart and fiance, a celebrated figure in the Immortal Capital whom the world considered her perfect match.

As for her, she was the book's second female lead. Jealous when the heroine stole her fiance, she lost her immortal root, was driven out of the Immortal Capital, and was abandoned by both her family and fiance. In the end, she had no choice but to join forces with the most despised villain of the age, the supreme ruler of the ghost clan.

After being reborn, Yun Miaoyin returned to the year she had been at the height of her glory.

At the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Dynasties, both her family and sect intended to arrange a marriage for her. When asked whom she favored, everyone assumed she would choose her childhood sweetheart, Shi Qingyan, the man best suited to her.

Seated above the assembly, Yun Miaoyin looked over the faces gathered there and spotted the ghost-clan youth in the corner, the most inconspicuous of them all.

At this point, he was not yet the supreme ruler of the ghost clan, just a weak ghost whom the immortal sects despised.

Remembering how he had protected her when she had been left with nowhere to turn in her previous life, she pointed at him. "I choose him."

Yinhuo was born an evil ghost in the River of the Underworld. He grew up in its lightless mud, the lowest sort of being in the world.

When he was young and had just taken human form, his cultivation was weak. A group of prestigious families from the Immortal Capital captured him, endlessly humiliating and tormenting him until he became a lowly ghost slave for their amusement.

Then one rainy day, an ethereal fairy in white appeared before him, opened his cage, held an umbrella over his battered body, and rescued him from hell.

Later, Yinhuo learned who she was. He also understood that her willingness to become engaged to him was merely a temporary expedient.

When she handed Yinhuo a written agreement to break off their engagement, she said, "I wronged you. Whatever you wish for in the future, I will make it happen for you."

Yinhuo took the agreement and burned it to ashes with a spell.

The gentle expression he usually wore before Yun Miaoyin vanished, replaced by a gaze full of menace. "If the immortal maiden intends to grant my wish, then marry me and become my true wife. In this life and every life to come, may we be joined heart and soul forever..."
