After the death of Xu Qianyu, the youngest disciple of the Penglai Immortal Sect, she finally realized that she was just a supporting character in a “koi” novel.
Throughout her life, she was proud and ambitious, working hard on her cultivation, yet misfortune followed her, preventing her from achieving greatness. She fell in love with the villainous Demon King, dedicating half the novel to chasing after him, even betraying her sect for him. But in the end, he killed her with one strike of his sword, sending her tumbling down a cliff.
Meanwhile, the koi protagonist, Lu You, lived a life of ease. With nothing but lying down, talent, treasures, luck, and men all came to her effortlessly. The senior brothers, junior brothers, and lovers that Xu Qianyu treasured were all like fish attracted to the koi’s charm. As for herself, she seemed to exist only as a contrast to the chosen heroine.
As a reborn supporting character, Xu Qianyu should have taken control of the script and played her part carefully. However, the timeline of the novel world was unexpectedly delayed. When Qianyu opened her eyes, she found herself raised as a spoiled eldest lady in the mortal world, more arrogant and unruly than in her past life, now unaffected by anyone’s influence.
The system covered its face: “… This run is over.”
But later…
The koi protagonist: “What? Are you crazy? Who are you trying to outdo???”
The system: “Please stop leveling up!! Can you at least take a look at the romance storyline, Xiao Qian? We’re depending on you to carry us QAQ!”
The darkened Demon King walked over, wielding a whip.
Xu Qianyu, with her nose red from crying, pulled out a whip in response.
Demon King: “?”
Demon King: “Did I encounter a duplicate?”
Xu Qianyu coldly turned to her junior brother: “Someone who prioritizes love over friendship doesn’t deserve to be my brother, only a dog.”
Junior brother, on the verge of tears: “Woo, Wangwang can’t you just acknowledge me?”
As for the senior brother…
In her past life, Xu Qianyu thought of him as pure and cold, like an immortal banished from heaven. But now she realized that his pursuit of the Dao wasn’t a belief—it was just a means to an end. He was a deeply hidden, insane beauty who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
However, upon meeting her, this carefully steered ship ultimately capsized.
