The High-Risk Senior Sister

[A lighthearted read, free in its entirety, with nontraditional cultivation]

Ning Zhao transmigrates into a book.

She winds up inside an old-school Mary Sue novel called Ascending the Immortal Gate, as the male lead’s cannon-fodder junior sister. She constantly disapproves of the heroine and slanders her, only to meet her end with her soul destroyed.

All Ning Zhao wants after transmigrating is to slack off, but the System insists she win over Chu Yu, the future villain, and stop him from turning evil and destroying the world.

So Ning Zhao, the hardworking office drone, pulls out every trick in the book.

When Chu Yu is bullied, she drops her aloof persona and fires back with a cutting retort.

Chu Yu, protected behind her: “Nobody offers help for free. She must have an ulterior motive.”

When Chu Yu gets beaten up, she huffs and puffs as she grabs her sword and fights back.

Chu Yu: “Senior Sister seems... pretty nice, actually.”

When Chu Yu falls ill and coughs up blood, she cares for him tenderly and even gives away one of the rarest treasures in the world, a Tianshan Snow Lotus.

As they spend day after day together, Chu Yu’s gaze grows ever more shadowed. Beneath the little junior brother’s pale exterior lies a dark-hearted black lotus.

“Senior Sister, didn’t you say you only liked me? Why are you looking at him?”

Ning Zhao: “It’s all for the mission, don’t ask me about it!”

“Ahaha, of course you’re the only one in my heart, Junior Brother. It’s just...”

The young man before her curls his lips into a faint smile, his eyes glinting with danger. “Just what?”

Great. She’s gone too far in winning him over, failed to complete the mission, and gotten herself caught up in it too.

Much later, everyone knows that the infamous young Demon Lord is willing to bend the knee for one person, pleading pitifully, “A Zhao, I was wrong...”

“Please don’t be angry, okay?”
