Pei Zeming transmigrated into the recently popular but poorly rated empress-raising game, Nine Heavens of Dreams.

In the original main storyline, the mad beauty of a heroine fought the forces of evil for control of the realm. Just as she was about to ascend the throne, she inexplicably became frail and sickly. The villain even tore out her spiritual root, leaving her on the brink of death.

Pei Zeming was so furious that she deleted the game, then reinstalled it with a frown because she couldn't bear to leave the heroine behind.

As it happened, she transmigrated to the early stages of the game. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the heroine surrounded by countless death warriors.

As the heroine's number-one fan, Pei Zeming immediately stepped in to save her, eyes reddening. "Come with me. I'll make sure you win every battle and even defy the heavens."

Suddenly, a soft weight settled into her arms. Zhuang Yuxue leaned against her delicately, her fingertips coming to rest at Pei Zeming's waist.

She lowered her eyes, her expression strangely gentle and obedient, utterly unlike the bloodthirsty god of slaughter who had cut down her enemies in the original story:

"All right... take me with you."

.

Since transmigrating into the game, Pei Zeming had deliberately suppressed her feelings for the heroine, focusing on laying out strategies to help her fight her way out and change her fate.

But she never expected the person she had long yearned for to lead her into the inner chamber of her own accord, then ask with a light laugh, "Pei Zeming, you seem to know everything. Do you know about this, too?"

The gauzy outer robe and hard armor were all taken off. Pei Zeming stared, stunned, at the eye-catching red cord chain around Zhuang Yuxue's pale waist, at a loss for words.

When Zhuang Yuxue moved, the silver bells on the red cord chimed. She walked toward Pei Zeming with graceful steps. "Does it sound nice?"

Pei Zeming was practically mute. All she could do was nod, blushing.

Then, still dazed, she was pushed onto the bed. Before she could even think about why the red cord had been tied around both her wrists, Zhuang Yuxue straightened up, casually flicked the silver bells connected along the cord, and coaxed her with a sweet smile:

"Then move around more and work hard to let me hear them a little longer, all right?"

The silver bells chimed all night, and the withered branches on the mountainside were covered in ice flowers.

...She'd never even dared to dream of anything this wild.

.

The year Zhuang Yuxue ascended the immortal mountain, the master of the Star-Gazing Terrace made an exception and divined her fate. The backlash cost him most of his cultivation.

She clearly remembered him coughing up blood as he said with pity, "Your Highness... you are frail and ill-fated. Calamities will follow wherever you go, and you have no destined romantic match."

He might as well have said outright that she was doomed to a lonely life.

So she'd always believed she was fated to walk alone down that bloody road of revenge.

Until one day, her "fate" changed.

Before the master of the Star-Gazing Terrace passed away, he left her these final words: "Your Highness, you do have a destined partner. That person is beyond the Three Realms, yet within the Six Directions."

She hadn't believed him.

But after meeting Pei Zeming, she kept thinking about that prophecy, and couldn't help doing all sorts of improper and outrageous things to her.

Could she... be the person destined for her?
