Wen Ran seemed to have it all: noble birth, stunning looks, and a celestial fiancé. But after years in this world, she remembered she was a character in a book. She was the male lead’s fiancée, his unattainable love, and the one who “saved” him—until she wasn’t.
On a fateful cliff, forced to choose between Wen Ran and another, the male lead picked Wen Ran. The other fell. The winds howled, and Wen Ran remembered: she wasn’t the savior, and he didn’t love her. The one he loved, the real savior, was the one he pushed away.
In his agony, the male lead turned dark, launching into a wife-chasing to death. Wen Ran, realizing she was just a side character, thought it was over. But on that same cliff, she watched in shock as her “pure” fiancé kicked the other girl into the abyss. He smiled at her, “You have no idea why I did that, do you?” Wen Ran was stunned. His perfect image shattered.

Years later, he poked her face and asked her in curiosity, "Wife-chasing to death—does that mean I should throw you into that abyss and run after you?"He appeared eager to try, which left Wen Ran in a long silence.

I don't know how many stories about Qiu Buwen and the Holy Daughter Qiu Shui got from her father. She likes to have someone move a chair outside the cell when she's free, then she sits on it, slowly recounting how Qiu Buwen and the Holy Daughter fell in love and bonded so deeply that if one were to die, the other would rather not live alone.


Ye Sui was forced to listen to these past events. Although his face rarely showed much emotion, his palms would have been cut from gripping too tightly by the time Qiu Shui finished her stories and left.


Qiu Shui didn't want to waste words with Ye Sui today. With a slight movement of her hand, a Heavy Sword appeared by her side. She coldly looked at the dirt-covered man in the cell, "When our Hidden Abyss Valley's Spirit Vein was stolen, you said you didn't do it. Then who did?"
