Yu Ting only wanted to be a quiet, lazy nobody in this life. She never expected to transmigrate into a novel as a cannon-fodder female supporting character.
The good news: the cannon fodder barely mattered in the book, so she didn't have to worry about acting out of character.
The bad news: she was forcibly bound to a System that required her to complete missions.
System: [This book has an unfinished ending. Host, rewrite it.]
Yu Ting wilted on the spot.
To make matters worse, her blood could cure illness, making her the target of everyone's greed.
So one man kidnapped her without a word and forced her to be his doctor.
*
The man who kidnapped her was Xie Chongyao, another insignificant side character in the original novel.
Only after Yu Ting questioned the System again and again did she learn about his tragic fate.
Now that she was a doctor, she couldn't just leave her patient to suffer, could she?
Yu Ting did her best to treat the poison in his body and, while she was at it... his personality too.
After living under a cloud of malice for so long, Xie Chongyao trusted no one.
He was like a stray dog, baring his claws at everyone he met.
The first time he snapped at her, Yu Ting thought for a moment, then took his hand. "Don't scowl. Come on, shake hands."
Xie Chongyao: ?
The second time he snapped at her, Yu Ting rose onto her tiptoes and stroked his hair. "Don't be mad."
*
At first, Xie Chongyao didn't care about Yu Ting's presence at all.
To him, she was just a doctor treating his illness, nothing more.
But later, when he saw her getting close to someone else, even smiling as she treated an outsider's wounds, he stood in the corner and ground his back teeth to dust.
Yu Ting pouted. "I'm a medicine cultivator. Isn't treating people just part of my job?"
Xie Chongyao could no longer maintain his usual indifferent expression.
His emotions became shackles, and the cage of jealousy locked him tight.
And she held the key.
Before tens of thousands of demonic cultivators, he fought with bloodshot eyes and stumbled toward her, begging her to look at him just a little longer.
"Don't leave me. Please."
[Bonus Scene]
No one could have imagined that the untouchable Xie Chongyao would be completely wrapped around the finger of a weakling.
The weakling herself didn't find it surprising at all.
Come on! She's pretty amazing too!
Rumors ran wild. Yu Ting plopped down on the bed, arms crossed in a huff, her displeasure written all over her face.
Xie Chongyao came in through the door, completely baffled. He had no idea who had made her angry this time.
It definitely wasn't him. He hadn't done anything.
He closed the half-open window to keep the cold draft out.
Yu Ting suddenly had an idea. The gloom lifted from her face, leaving a sly glint in her eyes.
She said, "Xie Chongyao, do you know which puppy is the most obedient?"
Xie Chongyao: ?
Yu Ting cleared her throat. "It's you, Xie Chongyao. I crook my finger, and you come running."
Xie Chongyao froze, then sat down beside her without replying.
Yu Ting looked up in confusion, only for him to grip her chin and claim her lips.
She let out a mewling sound like a kitten.
He leaned over her, one hand resting on her waist. She felt a warm dampness on her earlobe as someone took it into his mouth.
The man murmured indistinctly,
"I crook my finger, and you come running."

Reading Notes
1. Both leads are each other's only partner, 1v1, happy ending.
2. The female lead isn't a powerhouse. The System doesn't do much, and there are no overpowered golden fingers.
3. The setting is fictional.
4. Sweet, sweet romance.
