It’s a bit complicated to explain, but essentially, Gu Jinli has transmigrated. Specifically, she’s ended up inside the very first novel she ever wrote.
The good news? She has a System and a “Golden Finger” ability. The bad news? In this world, the survival rate for an ordinary person is exactly zero percent.
Perhaps recognizing that Gu Jinli was a total weakling, the System granted her the ultimate cheat code to keep her from dying immediately: Immortality.
Gu Jinli was over the moon about such a broken ability—until she realized her target for “攻略” (affection-leveling) was Shen Chigui. Shen Chigui wasn’t just any protagonist; she was the Demon Venerable—a cold-blooded killer who took sadistic pleasure in inventing new ways to torment people.
Gu Jinli: “…”
Is it too late to ask for a new target?
*****
Shen Chigui had long since realized her world was strange. Bizarre people would constantly appear out of nowhere, doing inexplicable things—like trying to win her over with excessive flattery and kindness.
At first, Shen Chigui would simply kill them out of sheer annoyance. Out of sight, out of mind.
But as the bodies piled up, she gradually uncovered the truth of her reality: Her entire world was just a book. She was nothing more than a character within it. Her identity, her name, her personality, her history—even her own thoughts—were just a few lines of text arbitrarily assigned by someone else.
Shen Chigui was shocked.
Shen Chigui was ecstatic.
Shen Chigui finally snapped.
She began targeting the “players” sent to charm her, lashing out at the world itself. She swore to tear a hole in the sky just to see if any of it was real.
Eventually, time was rewound. Shen Chigui found herself back in her nine-year-old body, right at the very beginning.
This time, she met a miraculous woman. This woman claimed to be her “Creator.” No matter how much Shen Chigui tormented her, she simply wouldn’t die.
It was… fascinating.
Oh. My Creator?
How very interesting.

Years Later:
Gu Jinli looked back on her history with the female lead and summarized it in two sentences:
For the first ten years, she was killed by the female lead until she wished she were dead.
For the next ten years, she was bedded by the female lead until she wished she were dead.
Her final takeaway:
What a bright and beautiful life I’ve had!
Notes:
Dark Moonlight: A play on “White Moonlight” (the unattainable first love/ideal). It implies a love interest who is obsessive, dangerous, or toxic.
Golden Finger: A common CN web novel term for a “cheat” or special power.
Demon Lord/Venerable: A high-ranking title in cultivation novels for the ruler of the demonic path.
The “Crazy” Lead: Shen Chigui is described as “Fengpi”—a popular trope for characters who are unhinged, obsessive, and morally gray.
