2 Snake and Rabbit 1 (1/2)
Immediately after awakening, a large amount of information and memories poured into Yin Mei's mind.
This was the Nine Realms, where people could cultivate into immortals. In other words, it was a typical xianxia world, with cultivators, demons, and all sorts of bloody battles.
Yin Mei felt like crying with just this little piece of information. Mommy, I don't wanna die! Oh, but I've already died once…
The main character of this world was a girl called Murong Xing. Originally she was the legitimate child of the prime minister of a small kingdom on the main continent, but too bad she was born as a waste. She was bullied by the illegitimate daughters until she died, only for a 21st century female assassin to transmigrate into her body. At the same time, this 21st century assassin, who had the same name as the original body, Murong Xing, brought along a mysterious treasure from the modern world, a refining stove called the Nine Dragons Stove. This was bound to Murong Xing, decisively transforming her physique and cleansing her meridians. She proceeded to conquer the world, making all those talented and handsome men fall under her feet, from princes, emperors, geniuses, to even the demon king…
As for the male lead, he was the ninth prince of the kingdom Murong Xing was born in, but of course, his real identity couldn't be anything so ordinary. In fact, his mother was an immortal fairy from the higher realms that fled here with an extraordinary treasure. Although she didn't survive, her young child did, still in possession of the treasure that caused the entire upper realm to go crazy with greed. He was adopted by the Li Kingdom's royal family, and he hid his identity and abilities, slowly biding his time until he could take revenge on everyone who inflicted suffering on him and his mother.
It was a very cliche female protagonist plus transmigration plus xianxia world plot. It was so cliche that Yin Mei wanted to spit on it.
As for Yin Mei's identity, of course, it couldn't be anything good. Yin Mei was a poor cannon fodder villain known as Bai Yu. Bai Yu was a beautiful and innocent looking rabbit demon. She had a curious nature and liked interacting with humans. While she was living in the human world, she accidentally chanced upon Li Kingdom's ninth prince and his true appearance, resulting in love at first sight. Of course, any person that fell in love with the female lead's man could only have a bad ending. All her schemes against the female lead would backfire on her, and in the end, she was tortured and killed by the man she loved, the ninth prince.
Momma, why are these people so scary?
Yin Mei had the urge to curse the heavens right now, but was interrupted by the sound of the system before she was able to.
”First mission: Seduce the Ninth Prince.”
Yin Mei directly fainted.
Before she could hit the ground, her dark vision recovered and she stabilized herself with the edge of the nearby table. Yin Mei was currently inside Bai Yu's small house in a valley protected with a strong illusion barrier. She had yet to leave the demon territory, let alone meet the male or female leads.
If Yin Mei had her way, she would never meet those two scourges that resulted in the death of the original body, but of course, the white orb bobbing up and down in front of her had to directly shatter her hopes.
”Can we change this mission into something easier??” Yin Mei asked, not able to suppress the slight bit of hope inside her.
”No.” But the system immediately shut it down.
Yin Mei was silent.
Seduce the ninth prince? That evil creature whose looks were so beautiful that they could potentially destroy the world? That cold hearted beast that had tortured Bai Yu until her last breath?
Why was she so unlucky?
”Wait, isn't this called a 'villain saving' system? How does this have to do with villain saving?” Yin Mei asked, confused.
”This system has calculated and found the most efficient way to save the villain is to have him get together with this world's female lead.” System 097 replied.
This world's villain was the demon king. In the original story line, this demon king ended up becoming interested with the female lead, like any capable male that interacted with her. The female lead's Mary Sue aura, wasn't it a little to strong? She wasn't quite sure what requirements needed to be met to ”save the villain”, but since the system said the best way was to matchmake him with the female lead, then she could only trust in the system's advice, no matter how reluctant she was.
But actually having to break up the main ship and then have the female lead get together with the villain, this was really too…
And to top it off, it seemed like the system decided the best way to do this was for her to actually get together with the male lead?
Isn't this basically courting death? It's the exact same thing the original body did and look where she ended up!
Yin Mei wanted to cry, but didn't have the tears to do so.
”Wait a second. Even if it is true that the villain needs to get together with the female lead, that doesn't necessarily mean that I have to seduce the male lead right??” Yin Mei said. No matter what, this issue of seducing the male lead, Yin Mei absolutely must wash her hands of it! Yin Mei had still been a virgin in her previous world before dying. Never experiencing love, she hadn't even ever held hands with a boy since preschool! Not only that, but this mission was seducing the male lead, who was a complete ice block and immune to everyone that was not the female lead.
”The system has deemed this the most efficient way for the villain to end up with the female lead.”
”But that doesn't mean it's the only way, right? Seducing the male lead is too high of a hurdle, we should come up with a different way for the villain and female lead to get together!” Yin Mei started to think.
