[Proud, Aloof Senior Sister & Upright, Pure-Hearted Dragon-Proud Protagonist]
Yue Gushuang, the personal disciple of the head of the Guixu Sword Sect, is one of the finest among the younger generation of the cultivation world and the sect's undisputed top disciple... from the previous generation.
Lin Yuan was an outer sect disciple in charge of the spirit fields just one year ago. A year later, he rose to prominence out of nowhere, defeated Senior Sister Yue, and became the greatest under heaven.
Everyone says the two can't stand each other and have fought to the death over the position of top disciple.
Whenever she hears this rumor, Yue Gushuang scoffs.
What she wants has never been the position of top disciple. She wants that man's life.
That's because she awakened memories of her past life and learned how the story would unfold:
She is the haughty, doomed heroine in a good-for-nothing's rise-to-power story. Faced with a male lead armed with a cheat that reaches the heavens, no matter how hard she trains, it's only to highlight the twisted flavor of her doomed-heroine status. No matter how often she challenges him, it's just another haughty attempt to test him, doomed to go unreciprocated.
What an insult! How could she let the male lead, the culprit behind all this, live?
Lin Yuan hates that woman.
In public, she acts noble and aloof, but behind his back, she's vicious to the extreme, treating him like a thorn in her side and doing everything she can to kill him and those close to him.
One day, he and that woman fought until both were gravely wounded and became trapped in a different space. Then something claiming to be a Dating System forcibly bound itself to him.
System: Your lives are linked to your dating target's. If your favorability doesn't reach the maximum within three months, you'll both die.
Yue Gushuang gleefully rolled on the ground, laughing. "Young Master Lin, so many young ladies in the world are in love with you. Now you finally have your chance. Be sure to invite me to the wedding banquet. I'll bring a grand gift."
Lin Yuan was so furious his head spun.
"System, make her my dating target. Miss Yue, either you marry me, or we both die!"
Recently, a strange rumor has been circulating around the Guixu Sword Sect.
"A few nights ago, I saw those two in the bamboo grove behind the mountain, completely inseparable..."
"Fighting so fiercely they couldn't tear themselves away?"
"Kissing so passionately they couldn't tear themselves away."
Reader's Guide:
1. They can't stand each other, and both want the other dead.
2. The heroine hits hard but is fragile; the hero hits softly but can take a beating. Their strength is about the same, but the hero is harder to kill.
3. Both leads have plenty of admirers. The heroine is a battle maniac who thinks romance is a waste of time, while the hero is a slow-witted, utterly clueless straight man who has never considered romance.
Theme: For you, I will become a better version of myself
