Chapter 1: The Petty Author Who Can’t Take Criticism

Qingyu Continent, Human Realm, Xuantian Sect.

"Sister — " In the back mountains, a youth spoke with a solemn expression to the young girl in front of him. "What I am about to tell you is very, very terrifying. You must not be afraid..."

The youth had flowing, ink-black hair and clear, amber eyes. His thin, oval face was soft yet lacked any sense of effeminacy. His skin was clean, his eyebrows light and lashes long, and his lips were somewhat pale. Although he still had a hint of boyishness, it could not hide his gallant spirit.

"Brother..." The girl nodded with an equally serious gaze. "I am a disciple of the Xuantian Sect. I will not be afraid."

The girl standing before him had long, black hair that cascaded down like a waterfall. Her eyes were gentle, and her beautiful face carried a hint of tenderness. Her features bore a slight resemblance to the youth’s.

Hearing his sister’s words, Luo Xing swallowed hard and then said in a heavy voice, "Sister, to be honest, I’m actually here to save you."

Luo Han frowned. "Save me?"

She looked around...

That was right; they were in the Xuantian Sect.

What danger could there be in the sect?

Had a demonic sect launched an attack?

"No, no, no. Sister, hear me out." Luo Xing waved his hands frantically. "It’s precisely because we’re in the Xuantian Sect that it’s dangerous!"

"Brother, what on earth are you talking about?" Luo Han reached out to touch her brother’s forehead. "Could it be that something went wrong with your cultivation recently?"

If problems were already arising before even reaching the Qi Refining Realm, how would he manage his cultivation in the future?

"Oh, Sister!" Luo Xing said urgently. "I’m serious! I... I had a dream!"

"A dream?" Luo Han tilted her head. "What... what did you dream about?"

"I dreamed that our world is a yuri angst novel called *Han Li’s Tribulation*! And you! My dear sister! You are the female lead who gets tortured in that angst novel!"

"Yuri? Angst novel? Female lead? What are you talking about?"

Luo Xing grabbed his hair, looking like he was about to have a breakdown. "I knew it! I knew you wouldn't believe me! Argh!"

'That petty author! He really couldn't take it!'

Luo Xing wasn't actually losing his mind, nor was he confused by a dream. What he said was...

The absolute truth!

This world was indeed a yuri angst novel titled *Han Li’s Tribulation*!

And he, Luo Xing, was a reader who had transmigrated into the book.

He vaguely remembered that after finishing *Han Li’s Tribulation* on the street, he had immediately written a 3,000-word rant in the comment section. Out of those, 2,500 words were spent cursing the author, while 500 words were spent complaining about the injustice faced by the female lead, Luo Han.

Because the story was simply too agonizing!

Just how agonizing was it?

The woman who tortured her...

Kept long nails!

And wore rings!

How could that not be agonizing!?

After finishing his rant and "greeting" the author’s entire family, Luo Xing prepared to cross the road. Suddenly, a Dayun truck came barreling toward him!

But in that split second!

Luo Xing dodged the Dayun truck with a leap and a roll!

Facing the Dayun truck as it swerved to a stop, Luo Xing heroically held up two fingers!

'You want to send me to another world? You bastard?!'

'You’re 20,000 years too early!'

However, just as Luo Xing patted the dust off his clothes and prepared to leave, that Dayun truck...

Actually transformed!?

It transformed right before everyone’s eyes!

Luo Xing stood frozen on the spot...

"You sure were talking a lot of trash, weren't you, brat?" The Dayun truck transformed into a 10-meter-tall, dog-headed robot. It gnashed its teeth and spoke in a human tongue. "You want to save her that badly? Then go ahead and try!"

With that, it raised a massive fist and smashed it down directly onto Luo Xing’s head...

The facts proved two things...

First, an ordinary person cannot live for 20,000 years...

Second, in some situations, 20,000 years can pass quite quickly...

And so, Luo Xing was sent to the Qingyu Continent — the world of *Han Li’s Tribulation* — by that petty author. He became Luo Xing, the brother of Luo Han, who barely even appeared in the original story.

Initially, since Luo Xing had transmigrated with his soul, it stood to reason that he could avoid everything by using his knowledge as a reader. All he had to do was send his sister to a different sect.

But the problem was...

That petty author couldn't take a loss!

He had sealed Luo Xing’s memories!

It wasn't until yesterday that Luo Xing finally remembered everything from before his transmigration. By then, he and Luo Han had already arrived at the Xuantian Sect, and his sister had already become an outer disciple according to the original plot.

This left the newly awakened Luo Xing with practically no room to maneuver!

Thinking of this, Luo Xing wanted to slap himself twice...

'That’s what you get for cursing the author!'

'That’s what you get for cursing the author!'

'You knew that petty bastard couldn't take criticism!'

"Ugh, anyway... anyway, just stay away from that Elder Ye..." Luo Xing warned Luo Han helplessly. "Just pretend I had a prophetic dream and saw that you would be bullied by that Elder Ye in the future..."

"Elder Ye?" Luo Han tilted her head. "Are you talking about..."

"Yes, that Elder Ye." Luo Xing nodded. "Oh, you probably haven’t met her yet... Let me tell you what she looks like..."

He spoke while recalling the physical descriptions of Ye Li from the novel. "I remember in the novel... cough, I mean in the dream, that Ye Li looked cold and ethereal, with an indifferent and distant personality. She was like a snow fairy who didn't belong to the mortal world. She had black hair and red lips, and her eyes were a pale ice-blue — as indifferent as a cold pool, as chilly as frost. She was completely heartless... Oh, and there’s one more important point!"

He lowered his head as he walked, listing off Ye Li’s "crimes" one by one. "This Ye Li’s heart is extremely twisted and perverted. She’s obsessive and a yandere. She loves making people kneel for no reason, and then she bites them. After biting, she licks the wounds. She hates cutting her nails and loves wearing rings... Hmm?"

As he was speaking, he suddenly felt someone in front of him. He looked up...

Only to see a breathtakingly cold and elegant face and a pair of indifferent, proud ice-blue eyes...

"Hmm? This lady..." Luo Xing was stunned for a moment. He took a step back and sized up the woman. "Wow... you look quite similar... Sister!"

He turned back to Luo Han and said, "Come over and take a closer look. Remember this face. Whenever you see a woman like this, you... Huh? Why are you bowing your head? And giving a salute?"

'Is she thanking me for saving her life?'

'Ha!'

'We're siblings!'

'It's no big...'

"Greetings, Elder Ye!"

Luo Han’s words struck Luo Xing like a bolt of lightning, leaving him frozen in place...

Elder... Ye?

Luo Xing’s gaze turned dull as he turned his head back to look at the cold woman who had appeared out of nowhere...

Her black hair was half-pinned and fell to her waist. Her pale ice-blue eyes were as cold as frost. Her oval face was exquisite and fair, with thin eyebrows and thick lashes. Her lips were a pale pink, and her figure was tall and slender. She wore a simple immortal robe, and a crisp scent of cedar lingered around her. Her aura was otherworldly...

*Gulp.*

Luo Xing swallowed hard. He first looked back at Luo Han, who was bowing and didn't dare to raise her head, and then turned back to look at the expressionless, frost-like woman...

"Um..." Clinging to a final shred of hope, Luo Xing chuckled nervously and asked tentatively, "Ahahaha... this Elder Ye... how should I address you?"

'Just bet on it!'

'Just bet that there's more than one Elder Ye in the Xuantian Sect!'

The cold eyes shifted slightly toward Luo Xing. As her red lips parted, a cold, emotionless female voice drifted out. "Ye Li, Grand Elder of the Xuantian Sect."

She paused for a moment and spoke again. "The one you want your sister to stay away from should be this seat."

To be honest, Luo Xing had imagined countless scenarios where he might encounter Ye Li, but this was the only one he hadn't considered...

Was there anything more desperate than letting the perverted, yandere, obsessive female lead of an angst novel find out your secrets?

There was, brother, there was.

Badmouthing her to her face.

"Elder Ye, please forgive us!"

While Luo Xing was dazed, Luo Han hurried forward, pulled her brother behind her, and said respectfully, "My brother’s cultivation has recently gone awry, causing him to suffer from heart demons and mental instability. That is why he is speaking nonsense. Please do not take it seriously, Elder!"

Ye Li lowered her eyes to look at Luo Han, and then at Luo Xing, who was shaking like a leaf...

After a long silence, she took flight and left...

"Phew..." Luo Xing watched Ye Li’s departing figure and let out a long sigh of relief. "She’s finally gone... Ow, ow, ow! My ear! My ear!"

"You!" Luo Han was fuming as she pinched Luo Xing’s ear. "You’ve caused a huge disaster this time!"

In truth, she had seen Ye Li before. It was on the day she was practicing at the martial arts arena. Ye Li had happened to fly overhead, and Luo Han had curiously asked a senior sister from the outer sect about her, which was how she learned of the woman's identity.

Ye Li, the Grand Elder of the Xuantian Sect and the junior sister of the Sect Master. She was below only one person and above the entire sect!

Just now, she had only heard Luo Xing mention an "Elder Ye," but she never imagined he was talking about Ye Li...

Luo Xing had slandered her so much and she had heard it all...

She feared that by tomorrow, both of them would be expelled from the Xuantian Sect just because they stepped into the sect with their left feet first!

"Oh! It’s no big deal!" Luo Xing forced himself to act calm as he brushed his sister’s hand away. "If we’re expelled, we’re expelled! I’d prefer it anyway!"

Despite his words, his legs wouldn't stop shaking...

The moment he realized that the person in front of him was Ye Li herself, he had already decided where he wanted to be buried...
