After her death, Lu Xi unexpectedly bound herself to a system tasked with saving female side characters from descending into darkness. She had to prevent their blackening and guide them onto the righteous path in order to live again.
● World One: Nine-Tailed Fox (Completed)
The side character, a nine-tailed fox, was originally the fiancée of a god venerable from the Heavenly Realm. But on the day of their grand wedding, she was betrayed by her own kin within the clan and imprisoned in the fox clan’s forbidden grounds. She could only watch helplessly as her cousin donned fiery red bridal robes and ascended to the Heavenly Realm.
Before the side character’s heart blood could be extracted to sustain the god venerable’s wife, Lu Xi arrived just in time and rescued her.
Lu Xi looked at the bedraggled side character, whose eyes burned with unrelenting resentment. She patted the woman’s fluffy head. “There are many ways to exact revenge.”
“Perishing together is the most foolish.”
Sensing the faint flicker of confusion in the side character’s gaze, Lu Xi extended her hand. “I’m at loose ends lately anyway. Why don’t I help you?”
● World Two: ABO (Completed)
At the engagement banquet, the male lead fled hand-in-hand with his beloved before all the guests, leaving the pitiful and helpless omega side character to endure everyone’s mockery.
Lu Xi sat at her seat and watched the side character freeze in panic on stage, shaking her head at the thought of the woman’s eventual fate—her entire family destroyed.
As the whispers grew louder, Lu Xi walked onto the stage and extended her hand. “How about we get engaged instead?”
● World Three: Emperor x Consort
The imperial consort side character was actually a spy.
She had been planted in the palace by King Huainan, specifically to seduce the emperor.
Acting as the emperor, Lu Xi accepted all the side character’s seductions without a ripple, quietly thwarting every scheme sent by King Huainan’s agents.
But seeing that Lu Xi remained vigorous and alert—never bewitched into a foolish tyrant—and that the side character showed no signs of pregnancy, King Huainan grew anxious. He issued several urgent commands in quick succession.
When the side character read King Huainan’s letter ordering her to conceive quickly, and then watched as a black-clad man was delivered to help her do so, all her anguish, grief, helplessness, and despair erupted at once…
That was precisely when Lu Xi arrived.
After having the black-clad intruder seized, Lu Xi gazed at the side character, who was equal parts frantic and seething with boundless hatred. She let out a soft sigh, pulled up the covers, and tucked in the woman’s exposed arms until they were completely covered.
“Zhen won’t kill you.”
Under the side character’s stunned gaze, Lu Xi’s voice remained utterly even. “You’ve schemed for the throne with him. Why not join Zhen instead?”
The side character recoiled in instant terror. Her mouth opened as if to speak, but she swallowed her words.
Lu Xi smiled. “After all, the throne is already Zhen’s. Aligning with Zhen offers better odds of success, doesn’t it?”
