Ye Luqing’s last memory was fixed on the blinding yellow light of a truck.
She felt her body become incredibly light, then fly into the clouds, before plummeting into the seabed.
Hazy voices echoed in her ears. Memories from childhood to adulthood flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern, until finally, only one thought remained.
“I really shouldn’t have read novels while crossing the road…”
Beep… beep…
When Ye Luqing opened her eyes again, she was met with an unfamiliar ice-blue ceiling.
To be precise, it was the roof of a cave.
She looked at her surroundings somewhat blankly, yet felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
“This is…”
She hadn’t finished speaking when Ye Luqing noticed something was wrong with her voice.
However, before she could gather her thoughts, a crackling electrical noise interrupted her.
Bzz… bzzt…
[Host has made negative-distance contact with the “Great Fortune Magic Teleportation Array,” successfully transmigrating into the body of Profound Firmament Upper Sect’s Direct Disciple, Ye Luqing.]
“Profound Firmament Upper Sect? Ye Luqing? I’m…”
The transmigrated Ye Luqing was stunned, and her face immediately paled.
Wasn’t this the character from The Blackening Fairy Loves Me, the novel she was reading right before getting hit by that truck!
Ye Luqing had initially been drawn to the book because the main character’s Dao Companion, the Blackening Fairy, had a name very similar to hers.
She got more and more engrossed, to the point where she ended up getting teleported to another world while crossing the street.
The general plot of the book revolved around the story of the aloof and powerful, yet utterly dense Fairy, Xiao Qingxuan, and her little follower, Ye Luqing.
The early plot was somewhat boring, mostly about their daily interactions, or rather, Ye Luqing’s one-sided, unrequited love for Xiao Qingxuan.
It wasn’t until the two were out on a mission together and Ye Luqing sacrificed herself to cover Xiao Qingxuan’s retreat, getting surrounded and killed by Devil Cultivators, that the supernaturally obtuse Destined Female Lead, Xiao Qingxuan, realized how important Ye Luqing was to her.
But by then, Ye Luqing was already dead, body and soul extinguished. No matter how much pain Xiao Qingxuan felt, it was all regret too late. She could only chase a wife into the cremation pit, searching everywhere for a way to revive Ye Luqing.
And now, the point in time Ye Luqing had transmigrated to was just after the original ‘Ye Luqing’ had “died” and been brought back to the sect, placed inside a Mysterious Ice Immortal Coffin to preserve her body.
…………
“Hiss…”
Ye Luqing sorted out the current situation a bit and found that… maybe it wasn’t so unacceptable?
Transmigrating to a fantasy world, face-slapping, and collecting a harem of countless beautiful fairies—this was what so many people dreamed of!
Although she was now a beautiful fairy herself, which made it a cockless endeavor, there would always be a way.
According to the setting, although Ye Luqing didn’t have the heaven-defying talent of the Destined Female Lead Xiao Qingxuan, being accepted as a Direct Disciple by a Transcendent-Rank Power meant she was still an exceptionally rare existence in this world.
Plus, as a transmigrator, she even had a System; she was bound to become a famous powerhouse across the continent in the future.
When that time came, she could cling to whichever fairy she wanted, and refuse to eat beef if she didn’t want to.
Thinking of her bright future, a satisfied smile couldn’t help but spread across Ye Luqing’s face.
She climbed out of the Mysterious Ice Immortal Coffin and patted the plain, unremarkable board on her chest.
“My legend begins…”
[Warning! The Destined Female Lead, Xiao Qingxuan, has entered a hundred-meter radius of the Host. Host, please be prepared to respond.]
“?”
A question mark rose above Ye Luqing’s head, and she subconsciously flopped right back into the coffin.
As the Quasi-Dao Companion of the Destined Female Lead, Xiao Qingxuan should be overjoyed to see her alive, right?
But for some reason, Ye Luqing felt a sense of guilt.
In the original work, besides having a little affection for Ye Luqing, Xiao Qingxuan was terribly cold to everyone else. Even with fellow sisters from the same sect, she had an unapproachable, ‘stranger-danger’ aura.
If Xiao Qingxuan saw through her and realized she wasn’t the original Ye Luqing, she feared she’d be sliced and diced into mincemeat…
Even if she wasn’t discovered, she’d probably be pinned down by Xiao Qingxuan until she couldn’t get out of bed.
She transmigrated here to pin down other fairies, not to be pinned down herself!
[Ding! Blackening Reward System activated. Please actively complete related tasks, Host. The ultimate reward allows you to return to Earth!]
“Return to Earth?”
Ye Luqing sat up with a jolt, her eyes immediately lighting up.
Although the fantasy world was great, she was a stranger in a strange land here, not to mention the highly dangerous yandere fairy by her side. Given the choice, she definitely still wanted to go back to Earth.
“Elaborate on these related tasks!”
[Host has transmigrated to this world and replaced the important role of “Dao Companion of the Destined Female Lead,” causing a change in the World Line.]
[As long as the World Line is restored to its original degree, the final reward can be obtained: Safe return to Earth.]
[Now introducing the Destined Female Lead’s basic information to Host. Name: Xiao Qingxuan. Cultivation: Half-Step Spirit Transformation Stage. Current status…]
“Skip the useless stuff for now, quickly tell me how to fix the World Line?” Ye Luqing was somewhat impatient and directly interrupted the System’s introduction.
She had read this book and basically knew Xiao Qingxuan’s information inside out. The urgent matter was knowing how to do the task.
[Okay.]
[In the original plotline, the Death of Ye Luqing was the critical turning point of the World Line, also the catalyst that pushed Xiao Qingxuan to cultivate desperately and break through to Immortal Ascension.]
[Therefore, as long as the Destined Female Lead Xiao Qingxuan reaches 400% Blackening Value, completing a spiritual qualitative change, the World Line will continue to develop according to the original plot.]
“Then what’s the point of me transmigrating? Just use the dead Ye Luqing to make Xiao Qingxuan blacken, and it’s done…” Ye Luqing muttered.
Hearing Ye Luqing’s complaint, the System also let out a sigh.
[Sigh…]
[Tell me about it. But what can I do? Some existence insisted on pulling you out and saving you, so now I have to work overtime…]
Ye Luqing stuck out her tongue. In her mind, the image of the System perfectly resembled an overworked wage-slave dragged back to work overtime after just getting off.
[If the Host insists on not doing the tasks, I can send you back to Earth, returning you to the very instant before you were hit. This world can also continue to function normally~]
[It’s a win-win, we can all take it easy~]
[Teehee~]
Listening to the System’s increasingly lighthearted tone, Ye Luqing waved her hands frantically, indicating she wasn’t going “teehee.”
What was the difference between getting hit by a truck again and dying outright? Experience the pain of full-body comminuted fractures again, right?
Although she didn’t know which existence had saved her, it was still an opportunity.
Thinking of this, Ye Luqing felt her fighting spirit ignite. She resolved to make things hard for Xiao Qingxuan, this Destined Female Lead. The spoils of returning to Earth were hers to enjoy.
Seeing the fired-up Ye Luqing, the System’s tone returned to a state full of work-related grievances and continued its introduction for her.
[You have a total of three rebirth chances. Each rebirth allows you to return to the last auto-save point. If all are used up, you will fall into true death.]
[Currently, the Destined Female Lead Xiao Qingxuan’s Blackening Value is 82%. Rewards will be distributed for each stage breakthrough. Completing everyday blackening tasks can also earn rewards.]
After hearing this, Ye Luqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, her expression becoming much more relaxed.
Hit by a truck, then transported into a novel world, and targeted by the yandere heavyweight Xiao Qingxuan, she had been ready to leave the sect and run, hiding for a while.
If she’d known she had three lives earlier, she wouldn’t have needed to be so cautious.
In her mind, she rapidly recalled the plot of The Blackening Fairy Loves Me. Xiao Qingxuan’s blackening primarily originated from Ye Luqing’s death. As each attempt to revive Ye Luqing failed, Xiao Qingxuan felt her own powerlessness and regret more and more, gradually blackening and stopping at nothing, growing stronger for the sake of revival.
Xiao Qingxuan currently only had 82% Blackening Value because she hadn’t seriously started trying to resurrect Ye Luqing yet; her heart still held hope.
So what she needed to do now was directly erase that hope, making Xiao Qingxuan despair right from the source.
She was a Galgame expert, a veteran Yuzusoft fan; manipulating a novel’s female lead was a piece of cake, right?
[Distance to Stage One (100%) Reward is only 18% Blackening Value. Host, please do your best~]
The System’s voice sounded again, but Ye Luqing didn’t take this sentence to heart. A confident smile hooked at the corner of her mouth.
What Stage Reward, what 18% Blackening Value.
Watch me clear this in one life!
