Defying the Heavenly Dao in a Restricted Story

Qu Qiu Xu's father was a minor official in the capital. He was inexplicably caught up in a salt license case, and all ten-odd members of the Qu family met a violent end.

Her wet nurse traded her own daughter's life for Qu Qiu Xu's and sent her to her maternal grandfather's home. Qu Qiu Xu learned excellent martial arts, then returned to the capital and wiped out her enemies' entire household.

Ten years later, a young man found Qu Qiu Xu beyond the border. He was the young son of her enemy, and just like her, he had survived because his wet nurse's son had been switched in his place.

Tan Ze kept Qu Qiu Xu under house arrest and tortured her day after day. She tried several times to kill him, but never succeeded.

One day, after torturing her for half the day, Tan Ze stared at her strangely for a long time. There was even a trace of pity in his eyes. Qu Qiu Xu only found it laughable. She waited for her chance and drove a wooden hairpin into Tan Ze's neck.

Then she heard the voice of the Heavenly Dao: The plot has collapsed. Restarting soon.

Only then did Qu Qiu Xu learn that she was a character in a book, one filled with erotic verse and sordid songs. In the end, she was supposed to fall in love with Tan Ze as he tortured her and spend the rest of her life with him.

Ridiculous. Being forced to submit had already disgusted her. How could she ever fall in love with her enemy's son?

Qu Qiu Xu returned to the night she had slaughtered her enemy's family.

She found Tan Ze, whom the wet nurse had switched at birth, and without hesitation drove her sword straight through his chest.

As the blood from Tan Ze's chest stained his long robe, she felt nothing but immense satisfaction.

Ten years later, Tan Ze appeared before her again. It turned out that his heart was on the right side, unlike an ordinary person's.

Before the two could make love, Qu Qiu Xu bit down on the poison hidden in her mouth.

The Heavenly Dao collapsed again, and Qu Qiu Xu returned to that night.

She stabbed Tan Ze until he was riddled with holes, even plunging her sword into the soles of his feet several times.

Ten years later, Tan Ze appeared before her once more.

He had actually returned from the dead in another body...

Qu Qiu Xu returned to the night of her revenge yet again. Since she couldn't kill Tan Ze, she decided to stop trying.

Since it was an erotic novel, Qu Qiu Xu swiftly drew her blade and took away Tan Ze's tools of the trade.

Ten years later, the powerful chief eunuch Tan Ze found Qu Qiu Xu...

Qu Qiu Xu refused to give up. She would have her revenge, and she would break this damnable Heavenly Dao too.

Male lead's perspective:

Tan Ze was dead, but not dead. The System told him he'd been given one chance to come back to life.

All he had to do was follow the plot and live out the life of the male lead in a pornographic novel.

Tan Ze looked at the plot. The male lead was practically dancing on the edge of criminal law! How could a law-abiding, upstanding young man like him do that?

System: Host voluntarily forfeits. Destroying the soul now.

Tan Ze: Wait, wait, wait!

To stay alive, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

As a pure, lifelong-single university student, forcing himself on a woman he didn't know was already hard enough. But this heroine refused to follow the plot at all!!!!

This was ridiculously difficult. Tan Ze was falling apart. Could someone please save him?

The first time, Tan Ze transmigrated into the story after the original male lead had tortured the heroine. According to the plot, he was supposed to feel pity for the unconscious heroine, stroke her face, and feel a twinge of guilt.

But Tan Ze had been here for half an hour, and he and the heroine were just staring at each other.

Why wasn't the heroine unconscious yet?! Was she really that full of energy?

With no choice, he steeled himself and reached out to touch her face, only for her to pin him down with a simple hold and stab him in the neck with a hairpin.

Tan Ze: ...

Does anyone else get it? I transmigrated into a book and died immediately!

The second time: Tan Ze looked at the hole in his chest. Did I really have to transmigrate at this exact moment?! Even fictional characters feel pain!

Ten years later, he finally found the heroine, but before he could say a word to her, she bit down on poison and killed herself.

Tan Ze: ...

Then what was all the suffering I went through these past years for?!

System: Bad luck, I guess.

The third time: Tan Ze looked at his empty lower half. Can I still be the male lead in a pornographic novel like this?

The System's mechanical voice carried a hint of glee. Host, you still have your hands and mouth.

Tan Ze: ...

The Nth time, Tan Ze found Qu Qiu Xu, removed the poison from her mouth, pulled out her hairpin, and quickly slipped a pill into her mouth that would temporarily suppress her martial arts.

He pretended to seal her lips with his, then whispered into her ear, "Miss, I'm being forced to do this too. Please don't kill me or yourself just yet.

Hear me out.

How about we change our fates together, against the will of Heaven?"

[Reading Guide]

1. A resolute, brave heroine devoted to revenge x a pure-hearted, silly university student determined to turn a pornographic story into a clean one.

2. The heroine is stronger than the hero. The most extreme abuse of the heroine happens in chapter one. If you can't handle it, please drop the story; afterward, only the male lead suffers, not the heroine.

3. No scenes in which the male lead forces the heroine. No scenes in which the male lead forces the heroine. No scenes in which the male lead forces the heroine. (Repeating this three times because it's important.)
