Feng Qiran transmigrated into a tragic romance heroine in a restricted xianxia novel, where she was fated to make love and hate at the drop of a hat.
But she went too far with the torment and died, unlocking the Ice Burial arc.
In the pain of losing the one he loved forever, the male lead became the Immortal Emperor who ruled the Nine Provinces.
In the novel, the male lead, Xiao Xuanye, had peerless talent and dazzling brilliance, only to fall into the mire in a single day.
Now her parents are about to help her break off her engagement, setting the first step of the tragic romance in motion.
The System is shrieking at her to fix things before it's too late. But the male lead isn't even upset. He's happily breaking off the engagement, taking the money, and leaving.
Then he lies flat, becoming the town butcher.
"Your mission is to do whatever it takes to restore his meridians, make him realize he loves you, and change his deadly ending."
"Readers have strongly protested the heroine's sudden death, making this mission critical. Host, please take it seriously."
"Got it," Feng Qiran says.
"The male lead likes making love and hate."
System: "?"
"We'll do whatever it takes to correct his sexual preferences and teach him how to make love."
System: "?!"
"Oh, what does 'make love' mean?"
"It's just spicy marketing. That's how the industry works these days. Nothing embarrassing about it."
System: "..."
Forget it. Let it all burn.
Many years later.
Watching the plot race ahead while the romance makes no progress, the System lets out a piercing shriek:
[...I told you to overturn the ending, not overthrow the Immortal Realm!]
[It's been three hundred years, and you haven't even kissed the male lead. How are you supposed to teach him how to make love?!]
*
Xiao Xuanye knows his fate.
Some people will try to win him over. Some will try to change him. Some will want to become his lifelong friends. Some will try to make him fall in love with them... and some will want to become him.
He doesn't care. He lies low in a small town, away from the world, thinking that living an ordinary life would be just fine.
Until one day, he sees man after man chasing after her, watching them curry favor with things that should have belonged to him.
"..."
Trembling, he says the line he used to hate most: "Love me, and I'll give you my life..."
In the end, people really do become the very thing they once hated most.
