[Cool-headed yet soft-hearted chief spell cultivator x sweet-talking, scheming novice sword cultivator]
Xie Lian was a sharp-tongued former internet commentator, but was forced to transmigrate into an immortal-cultivation tragedy and play the vicious female antagonist.
The good news: She only had to complete the plot points targeting the heroine.
The bad news: The original story was far more vicious than she'd expected.
Looking down on the clichéd and idiotic abuse-the-heroine script, Xie Lian decided to do the bare minimum and get it over with.
Yet on her very first day after transmigrating, unfamiliar with the magic arts of the immortal world, she accidentally beat someone until they were covered in injuries.
[Congratulations, Host! You have perfectly completed your acting mission!]
Xie Lian: ...
-
Out of guilt, Xie Lian exploited a loophole in the System, put on a secret identity, and approached the heroine in an attempt to make amends.
She could also use the opportunity to observe when to complete her mission.
Believing it was never too late to mend the fence, Xie Lian diligently maintained her secret identity to make up for the mistakes of her original persona.
Whenever the heroine was in danger, she rescued her. Whenever the heroine was afraid, she comforted her. Even the opportunities that had been delayed by her mission, she helped the heroine recover through her second identity.
Just as her acting mission was about to be completed,
the once-innocent, timid heroine suddenly abandoned her guileless demeanor. Her bright, beautiful eyes curved into a smile, and her gentle voice held a veiled threat.
“You wouldn't lie to me, would you?”

Ying Shu was certain she hated Xie Lian with all her heart.
Xie Lian had been by her side since the moment she was at her most helpless.
She had whispered words of affection in her ear, time and time again.
She had made Ying Shu willingly let down her guard and cast aside the filthy thoughts of using her.
But every moment that had made her heart flutter had been nothing but an artfully crafted lie.
Looking at the cool, beautiful face beneath the disguise, remembering the cold words and deliberate hostility, Ying Shu had countless times viciously wanted to destroy everything Xie Lian had, break her pride, then receive an apology overflowing with regret.
But when Xie Lian, still unaware of the truth, reached out to her, Ying Shu hesitated, then took her hand, almost greedily savoring the familiar warmth of her fingertips.
She simply couldn't bear to give up that special affection.
Perhaps she should try to win over completely the heart that had been so artfully disguised, a heart that had never beat for her.
[Reading Guide]

Theme: Keep hope alive even when trapped in hardship
I feel like every character is portrayed very well!
The lines between the two protagonists are very complete. It's a very interesting article!
Faintly, I feel like the two of them are not as close as before after they broke up. It must be because the author didn't describe it a lot 😭 I want to see the relationship between Xie Tiao and Ying Shu after everything they have experienced with Ying Shu.
Finished spreading flowers! Xiao Xie and Xiao Shu will continue to be happy in the story
It's obviously a very intimate gesture, why is it so bitter 😭 😭
It's still sad to see Tongzi go.
Baby - so you love her so much
It's quite sad that the system is gone 🤔
Oops, you two are pretty good too.
The original owner and Qing Miao are also very good.
