After Failing to Assassinate the Frail Immortal Lord, We Got Our Happy Ending

A life-loving, laid-back little sunshine x a gloomy, frail, tragic beauty [1v1 cultivation]

Ni Zhao transmigrates into the weakest disciple in the cultivation world: a pure yin body and zero combat ability.

She gets bound to a symbiosis system linked to a frail Immortal Lord.

System: [If he dies, you die. If he lives, you live.]

To make matters worse, the clan leader threatens her life and forces her to assassinate the gloomy, suspicious Immortal Lord.

One wants her to save him, the other wants her to kill him.

Ni Zhao: Just say you want me dead!

So...

She begins her performance.

By day, Ni Zhao says, "Immortal Lord, I'll brew you some medicine!" while secretly slipping in poison.

At night, Ni Zhao sneaks around and asks, "System, is he dead yet? Should I bleed myself to save him?"

After enough of this, their fragile trust comes crashing down.

The medicinal soup is poisoned, so she risks her life to knock it away. Rong Ji grabs her by the throat and asks in a low voice, "Did you do this?"

When assassins attack, she faces a hundred of them alone, using her mortal body to shield him from an arrow. But Rong Ji simply waves a hand, and the assassins vanish into dust in an instant. He shoots her a disdainful glance.

"Stop acting. It's so fake. Those are your people, aren't they?"

Until one full-moon night, Rong Ji's heart-devouring poison flares up, and he loses control and gravely wounds Ni Zhao.

She simply wipes her tears with both hands and treats him, eyes brimming with tears.

Rong Ji's gaze darkens. "Why save me?"

Ni Zhao answers honestly, "If you die, I won't survive either."

Rong Ji: She loves me.

The system is fake, but the deep love is real.

All the meetings he thought were their first were actually the result of his long-laid plans.

Mutual salvation, with the male lead falling first. Hehehe.

This isn't that kind of System~

This is the story of a laid-back girl's comeback.

Cross-frequency request for follows: Your Diehard Fan Is Unfollowing You and Coming Back to Attack

[An actress determined to become a top science student x a trust-fund playboy film critic who unfollowed her and turned on her]

Ji Yu never imagined she'd meet Gu Fang again at the premiere of her new movie.

Under the bright lights, she stood in a red dress, elegant and composed as she answered questions from the press.

Then the host turned to the audience. "Now, let's welcome our special guest critic, Mr. Gu, to ask a question."

The camera cut to the third row. A man in a suit sat there, his expression cold.

"Ms. Ji, your acting has improved a lot this time. Did you specifically hire an acting coach, or is it because you've personally experienced the whole 'abandoning the male lead' situation?"

The whole room erupted.

"Does this critic have a grudge against her?"

"Could he be a diehard fan who unfollowed her and turned on her?"

Ji Yu dug her fingernails into her palm, the crack in her perfect smile betraying her composure.

She remembered that rainy night, when she'd looked up at him and lied. "Gu Fang, I... am going abroad. Let's break up."

He didn't understand. Cruel accusations and curses had circled his lips a thousand times, but in the end, he only put an umbrella in her hand. "Forget it. I hope you stay safe."

Later, Ji Yu learned that "I hope you stay safe" was the cruelest curse in the world. She didn't get into her dream school, and she couldn't keep her mother by her side.

She was safe, but she wasn't happy.

After the wrap party, a drunk Ji Yu was helped into the elevator by her male co-star. Just as the doors were closing, a well-defined hand suddenly wedged into the gap.

Gu Fang yanked her into his arms, his familiar scent enveloping her. "You lied to me about going abroad back then just so you could be with a guy like him?"

Bonus scene:

At a promotional event for the movie Floating Life, Ji Yu drew the punishment of calling her most recent contact.

She was supposed to call a celebrity friend who'd been picked out in advance.

But the next second, a newly lit-up gray profile icon cut in: Ji Xiaoyu, where did you throw my tie last night?

Ji Yu had no choice but to call Gu Fang.

Before she could say a word, the man's lazy, husky voice came through the phone. "We'll discuss the tie later. First, explain who drew a fake watch on my wrist."

Host: Too afraid to speak, and probably just heard a huge scoop.

Ji Yu covered her forehead. "Just shut up already..."

The topic blew up online.

[What kind of weird kink is this? Am I allowed to hear this?]

[Weren't you supposed to unfollow her and attack her? Is the diehard fan in love again?]

[But he called her Xiaoyu~]
