"Eldest Senior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother, hey, wake up!"
A light, melodious girl's voice reached Fei Qingsu's ears. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a girl in pink standing before him, hands on her hips, her cheeks puffed out.
[Transmitting plot now.] The System's voice echoed simultaneously.
In an instant, the entire story unfolded in his mind. The original host was the second male lead in a novel titled *The Junior Sister Defects to the Demon Sect*. In the plot, Gu Tiantian, the Junior Sister, is doted upon by everyone in the Xuantian Sect. During a cultivation excursion, she saves the male lead, Feng Hanye, who happens to be the leader of the Demon Sect.
Like a turtle meeting a green bean, they hit it off instantly.
The two fall in love at first sight. Feng Hanye feels he has never met a woman so refined, elegant, kind, and adorable.
As the plot progresses, the original host, acting as the second male lead, silently protects the heroine, constantly cleaning up the messes she creates. The heroine, fully aware of his feelings, offers no response; she enjoys the convenience he provides while keeping him on a string.
When the heroine defects to the Demon Sect, the original host silently wishes her happiness while remaining in love with her.
Eventually, after an argument between the leads, the heroine deliberately uses the original host to make the male lead jealous. That was the end of it—the male lead kills the original host on the spot.
In the end, the two of them leave the original host’s corpse in front of their bed while they engage in intimate relations.
Fei Qingsu: What a load of dog shit for a plot.
[The original host's wish is to kill the male lead and protect the sect.]
And the heroine?
Still unable to let go of your "kind and innocent" Junior Sister from start to finish, are you?
This Junior Sister exploited the original host completely from beginning to end. Toward the late stages of the story, the male lead hands her a sword, forcing her to kill the original host with her own hands.
The Junior Sister sheds tears, feigning such pain and indecision, but in reality, she shows not a moment’s hesitation as the blade pierces the original host's clothes.
Following that, the male lead pulls her into his arms, claiming he couldn't let his darling commit such a filthy act herself, before stabbing the original host to death.
The heroine is an extreme egoist.
If the original host would still choose to forgive her after all that, then Fei Qingsu would rather abandon this mission.
Furthermore, the System informed him that even after death, the original host still harbored lingering feelings for her—his brain clearly hadn't been fully clear.
A person must live with an open heart. Only by acting with magnanimity can one live longer and keep their mind at ease.Fei Qingsu spoke to the System in his mind: "Let me meet the original host."
[Very well.] The System did not interfere; it knew its mission was to assist the host in completing his tasks, and the host’s orders were absolute.
Time froze instantly.
Fei Qingsu appeared in a pitch-black void. As a light flickered on, a handsome man holding a long sword materialized. It was the original host, Jiang Wu.
"Is this all you wanted? Spending the souls required for reincarnation just for these two wishes? If I complete this mission, you will only have those remaining years left; you will not be able to reincarnate again."
These worlds, born from novels, were inherently unfair. Many characters longed to change their fates, and the Quick Transmigration Bureau would select high-quality souls to help them fulfill their wishes.
"Yes..." Jiang Wu’s voice was faint.
Heh, how absurd.
Fei Qingsu’s eyes were cold, and his words pierced Jiang Wu’s heart like needles, causing him immense pain.
"Even if I kill the male lead, Feng Hanye, there will be a Liu Hanye, a Wang Hanye, and so on. The Junior Sister you love will still not spend the rest of her life with you. Look at yourself—you look just like a wretched, pathetic stray dog wagging its tail. A single glimmer of light from her makes you bow in submission, and a single word from her sends you charging in blindly."
Jiang Wu lowered his head, his body trembling slightly.
Yet, Fei Qingsu was not finished.
"Jiang Wu, have you forgotten the teachings your master gave you when you were the Eldest Senior Brother of the Xuantian Sect?"
"I have not... forgotten," Jiang Wu replied, shaking his head, his eyes filled with sorrow.
The words his master had spoken, which surfaced in his mind, overlapped with Fei Qingsu’s current voice: "Love yourself before you love others."
His obsession with Gu Tiantian, the things Gu Tiantian had done to him, his despair and helplessness before death, his subconscious urge to escape from these memories... All these thoughts coalesced.
"It is time to let go."
Was it time to let go?
Yes, it was time.
Jiang Wu began to understand, and the long-dormant stagnation in his chest lightened. "Very well."
At the same time, the System began to broadcast, its tone stiff and mechanical: [Time is up. The meeting has ended.]"Eldest Senior Brother, why are you still ignoring me?" Junior Sister Gu Tiantian drew out her voice, pouting as if she were about to throw a tantrum.
"What is it?" Fei Qingsu silently increased the distance between himself and Gu Tiantian.
Being too close was prone to lowering one's intelligence.
[The original host has added a new wish: to never see the female protagonist again. He hopes the female protagonist will not appear before his eyes.]
Fei Qingsu: [Oh, so "not seeing her" effectively means killing the female protagonist, doesn't it?]
[The success rate for that plan is thirty percent. The female protagonist is the darling of the Heavenly Dao; to kill her, one must first break her female protagonist halo. The same applies to the male protagonist.] The System began its calculations honestly.
On the other side, "Eldest Senior Brother~ you promised to accompany me to buy jewelry, so why haven't you come to find me yet? Must you wait for me to come looking for you?" Gu Tiantian pouted.
She thought to herself that in the past, Eldest Senior Brother would have softened by now; this tactic had always worked.
Which shop should she buy jewelry from? Regardless of the price, Eldest Senior Brother would surely buy it for her.
"Let’s go quickly—" Gu Tiantian had not even finished her sentence.
"No," Fei Qingsu interrupted her, refusing outright.
"W-why?"
Gu Tiantian was stunned. This was the first time she had been rejected by Eldest Senior Brother, and she hadn't quite processed it yet.
Hadn't Eldest Senior Brother always doted on her? How could he refuse this time?
"The sect-wide examination is approaching. The Seventh Junior Brother wants me to guide him on his sword techniques, and you, Junior Sister, should also be practicing diligently."
However, Gu Tiantian's mind automatically filtered out "sect-wide examination" and "practicing." Her attention was focused entirely on the Seventh Junior Brother competing with her for Eldest Senior Brother's time.
"Eldest Senior Brother, who is more important, the Seventh Junior Brother or me?" Gu Tiantian looked up at Fei Qingsu, demanding an answer.
Fei Qingsu answered without hesitation: "The Seventh Junior Brother."
"This... Eldest Senior Brother, didn't you say I was the most important person in your heart?"
"If you have an ear ailment, Junior Sister, perhaps you should go to the sect clinic to have it checked."
Fei Qingsu was obliquely insulting Gu Tiantian.
"Why is he more important than me? I am your Junior Sister."
"The Seventh Junior Brother joined the sect before you, and besides, you are not my only Junior Sister."
Fei Qingsu had no patience left to listen to the female protagonist’s tedious questions about who was more important. With a flick of his sleeve, a surge of power moved Gu Tiantian outside the cave dwelling.
"Please, Junior Sister, refrain from entering my dwelling without permission. Everyone is entitled to their privacy."
Fei Qingsu took the opportunity to change the defensive barrier, denying Gu Tiantian entry.
The original host had truly been too trusting. As the Eldest Senior Brother of a major sect, his dwelling contained not only his storage bags but also numerous cultivation resources, such as a thousand-year cold ice bed that could accelerate cultivation speed—yet he had let the female protagonist enter whenever she pleased.
In the original plot, the female protagonist had brazenly stolen many precious items.
It was better to benefit anyone than the female protagonist.
Outside, the bitter wind howled. Gu Tiantian stood outside the cave dwelling, feeling somewhat bewildered.
She felt as if things were beginning to head in the opposite direction.
How had Eldest Senior Brother turned into this?
She didn't love cultivation and only cared for play; to look beautiful, she wore less than anyone else, and now the biting wind made her skin crawl with goosebumps.
"Achoo!" Gu Tiantian shivered violently.
What had she done wrong?
What right did Eldest Senior Brother have to refuse her?
What qualification did he have to reject her?
The more Gu Tiantian thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Her eyes turned red.
"Junior Sister, what are you doing here?" the Third Senior Sister asked as she happened to pass by.
"Senior Sister, I... *sob*... Eldest Senior Brother, he..." Gu Tiantian acted as if she had found a life-saving straw and recounted the entire incident in detail.
"Eldest Senior Brother is such a meanie!" Gu Tiantian yearned for the Third Senior Sister’s agreement.
"Junior Sister, has the wind blown your brain away? With the sect-wide examination being such an important matter, Eldest Senior Brother must prioritize guiding the younger disciples' cultivation."
As the Third Senior Sister spoke, her gaze toward Gu Tiantian grew cold.
"But Eldest Senior Brother is my..." Gu Tiantian nearly blurted out "suitor."
"Is your what?"
Gu Tiantian fell silent.
The Third Senior Sister scanned Gu Tiantian, thinking to herself: How had she not noticed before that this Junior Sister wasn't very bright?
As a fellow woman, she could sense the strange, possessive nature Gu Tiantian held toward the Eldest Senior Brother.
