Blurb:

Si Jiu was hit by a car that suddenly swerved into her lane, and died.

Then she woke up beside an abandoned railway track.

The pain in her head and body felt as if she had been ground by a stone mill a hundred times, and her memories were reduced to a few scattered fragments.

The only three things she could find on her were an old-fashioned cell phone, a yellowed train ticket, and a key.

From a busy street downtown to an abandoned railway track in the middle of nowhere, only a supernatural event could explain her predicament.

Stranger still, at the long-abandoned train station, Si Jiu heard a train whistle.

A black train emerged from the thick fog, its flashing headlights seeming almost alive.

A hoarse, mechanical announcement came from somewhere:

"The train has arrived at Lanhu Station. Passengers, please board in an orderly fashion."

Si Jiu's legs seemed to move on their own. The moment the train doors opened, she stepped aboard.

When she regained consciousness, the train car was shaking violently, and the announcement sounded again.

"Welcome aboard train SW4049. You are currently in Car Four. The next stop is Ghosthead Ridge."

Si Jiu's first impression of Cheng Mo was that she was a beautiful and mysterious woman.

She wasn't afraid, nor did she wonder why she'd been pulled into this world. On this bizarre train, where someone could die at any moment, Cheng Mo seemed so relaxed she might have been on vacation.

She was calm and rational, a superb actress, and full of lies.

Si Jiu didn't know which side of her was real.

Until later, when Cheng Mo repeatedly took her hand and told her:

"Si Jiu, remember to get plenty of rest."

She suddenly realized that being kind to her was Cheng Mo's one true, most sincere side.

The Villainous Archdemon Survives by Cuddling: Blurb

Rong Jiwan transmigrated into a book, becoming the villainous archdemon who shared her name in a xianxia novel.

The demon in the book thirsted for blood and flesh, and loved slaughter. The hundreds of immortal sects hated her to the bone and wished they could rip her apart.

But this demon had cultivated unfathomably powerful dark arts. Though countless people wanted to kill her, they couldn't even touch the hem of her robe.

Rong Jiwan thought she was pretty lucky. Instead of becoming cannon fodder, she'd become a formidable figure who could do whatever she wanted in the cultivation world.

Just as she was about to test out the archdemon's powers, though... she found she couldn't use them at all!

Rong Jiwan refused to give up. She tried changing locations and methods, only to realize in despair that all she'd inherited was the villain's empty shell.

Facing the prospect of being hunted down by her enemies at any moment, she had a brief breakdown, packed her bags that very night, and fled.

When she was so hungry on the run that she was about to die, she met a fairy in pink.

The fairy's delicate hands touched her face, and suddenly, a jolt went through Rong Jiwan's mind.

[Host, the System has detected physical contact between you and the female lead, Tan Lingshu. Congratulations! Your power restoration progress is loading...]

[Restored: 0.1]

Oh, heavens! The System, which had pretended to be dead for more than half a year, had finally come back to life.

She quickly seized on the key point: physical contact with the female lead could restore her power.

The fingers of Rong Jiwan's hand, lying on the ground, twitched. She sprang to her feet in one swift motion.

Wonderful! The female lead is a healer. I'm saved!

Theme: Set out bravely.
