After Humiliating the Male Lead, the Supporting Heroine Faked Her Death and Disappeared

Si Cun Zhi suddenly dreamed that she was a supporting female character in a book. She would lose control, force the male lead, Xie Shuizui, to be hers, and become the shadow that haunted him for the rest of his life, until he finally cut her to pieces and ground her bones to dust. What a joke. She hardly ever left her own mountain, let alone went after Xie Shuizui. He was her senior brother, even if they weren't close. How could she possibly... She turned her head and saw the pale, beautiful man beside her, and froze on the spot... Si Cun Zhi wanted to get to the bottom of things, but the instant Xie Shuizui opened his eyes... She slapped him across the face, hooked her fingers under his chin, and forced him to look at her. Smirking, she said, “If you try that playing-hard-to-get act again, I'll kill you!” “...” Startled by the sudden handprint on Xie Shuizui's face, she quickly let go. “I, Senior Brother, you, yesterday...” Xie Shuizui patiently helped her remember. Yesterday, she'd said, “Unless I die here, you are not allowed to leave this bed.” As he got up, chains clinked softly. His loose clothes slipped down, revealing a body covered in red marks... Si Cun Zhi started avoiding Xie Shuizui, but whenever she got distracted, he would reappear beside her, sporting fresh, vivid marks every time. Si Cun Zhi was baffled. “Wait, why are you... I...” Xie Shuizui remained calm. “You tied me up and brought me back again.” Even worse, the people around them said the same thing. Si Cun Zhi swallowed. “S-sorry.” Xie Shuizui gave her a smile that was hard to read. “It's fine, Junior Sister.” But in the original story, he secretly sharpened his knife every night! Before long, rumors spread around the sect that Xie Shuizui had been toyed with by her, and that she was shameless and disrespectful to her senior brother. The scandalous rumors about Xie Shuizui and her grew more numerous and more outrageous, until people were even saying she'd forced him to dance in her palm. Whoever was spreading the rumors was clearly out to get her killed. With only a few days left before Xie Shuizui was supposed to grind her bones to dust in her dream, Si Cun Zhi, who didn't want to die, ran away... To make her death look convincing, she even left him her “corpse.” But Si Cun Zhi never imagined that Xie Shuizui would carry her corpse everywhere, holding it in his arms without ever letting go. Xie Shuizui, the sect's number one, as pure and bright as the moon, now had bloodshot eyes and a haggard air. He held the “her” he'd been preserving with medicine as though no one else were there, clutching her hand obsessively and murmuring, “Zhi Zhi.” * Please add my next book to your reading list! After I Urged My Junior Brother to Practice the Unfeeling Path Synopsis Chi Lian transmigrated into a romance novel about a sect. She was the heroine, and the hero was the new junior brother who had just joined the sect. According to the plot, she and her junior brother would overcome trial after trial, end up together, and live an ordinary life that everyone envied. Hey, who said anyone wanted an ordinary life? Since heaven had made her the protagonist, she was going to become the world's number-one swordswoman: no men, no dogs, undefeated under heaven, cutting off all romantic feelings and striking down her beloved first! But the moment Chi Lian met her junior brother, her heart began to flutter with desire. Terrified, she spent the whole night urging him to choose the Unfeeling Path! She thought everything was finally heading toward a bright future. One day, by chance, Chi Lian found her junior brother's question in the sect disciples' discussion board in the library. [Fellow cultivators, why does my heart race whenever I see my senior sister?] Someone replied: [Besides your heart racing, do you have any other symptoms? Like being unable to take your eyes off her?] Chi Lian's alarm bells started ringing. She left a comment: [That's your fighting spirit blazing. You want to challenge her to a duel, fellow cultivator.] The next day, Chi Lian received a formal challenge from her junior brother. Greatly relieved, she decided to beat him up to calm her nerves. Who would have thought she'd come across another question from him? [Fellow cultivators, why don't I want my senior sister to see me looking pathetic or ugly? Why do I get so nervous whenever we're alone together?] Chi Lian replied at once: [Your senior sister is stronger and more skilled than you. It's normal to care about your pride.] After that, Chi Lian did her best to avoid being alone with her junior brother, even though he really was handsome. She started spending time with other junior brothers and teaching them swordsmanship, so her junior brother would understand that she and he had a normal teacher-student relationship. Before long, her junior brother's questions changed. [Seeing Senior Sister teach someone else swordsmanship is so irritating. I'm so restless. I want to kill that junior brother.] Chi Lian's scalp prickled. [No matter how you put it, it's still your fighting spirit. You're afraid that junior brother will surpass you under your senior sister's instruction! Just have a fight.] If that doesn't work, have two fights! ...Her junior brother arrived, without a sword, dressed in a way that made it impossible for her to look away. Hey, is the Unfeeling Path you're practicing the real thing? Theme: Love gives you wings.
