[Airheaded Little Bodhisattva x Obsessive, Clingy Male Ghost]
Sang Zhiyi had mediocre talent and humble origins. All she wanted was to attain the Dao and ascend to immortality.
It wasn't until she was bound to an unknown System that she learned the world she'd lived in for years was nothing more than a melodramatic romance novel, and that she was the unlucky cannon-fodder villainess.
The little cannon fodder learned that her only option was to follow the instructions, finish the plot, leave the world, and become an immortal. "..."
She had always known how to bend without breaking.
But... why was the plot nothing like what she'd been told?
After her undercover mission as a double agent failed, the first male lead, who was supposed to grind her bones to dust, grabbed her by the wrist and demanded, like a spurned husband, to know what he lacked compared to his rival and why she had to go looking for some other bastard!
After she was caught drugging the second male lead as an incidental character, he, who should have expelled her from the sect and walked away, instead smiled and downed the wine. He even began counting with amusement, raising an eyebrow at her bewildered face to ask if she wasn't going to run.
As for the third male lead, whom she'd forced to repay a debt, he had seemed fairly normal at first, though cold and sarcastic toward her. But when she followed the plot and announced she was leaving to get married, he lost it and demanded to know what powerful patron she was trying to cling to this time.
Faced with a plotline gone completely off the rails and three mad dogs she couldn't shake, Sang Zhiyi reluctantly faked her death. Thankfully, the rewards promised by the System were still handed out as usual.
She thought the world was vast and there would be no reason for their paths to cross again, but... her secret identity was exposed far too unexpectedly.
She was nearly driven to her death by the ordeal.
At long last, with the female lead's help, she packed her things and escaped. She had barely enjoyed a little peace before the men she'd once abandoned came looking for her, one after another.
The young woman was backed into a corner with nowhere left to retreat.
Different hands stroked her frightened face. Someone gripped her chin and asked the same question over and over:
"The three of us."
"Who do you love most?"

Demons wearing human skin are doomed to endless reincarnation, day after day, with no release.
Until someone appears.
She is the one variable, a little bodhisattva who saves the suffering, a spark of life struggling free from a withered tree.
She came for all living things.
They were born for her.
A greedy demon and a Guanyin who saves the world.
They were made for each other.
