He Jiaojiao woke up and found that she had traveled through time and space in a book, and had become a cannon fodder female supporting role that everyone hated.

And worse still, the story’s greatest villain, Pei Ji, happened to be her “husband.”

Then the system announced: You must win her over.

But the original Jiaojiao had bullied and humiliated Pei Ji at every turn, even plotting to kill her.

Jiaojiao nearly burst into tears. “That’s impossible! I can’t do it!”

The system was blunt: Seduce her, or you die.

Jiaojiao gritted her teeth. “Fine. If an iron rod can be ground into a needle, then I can manage this too!”

Looking at the frail, ragged Pei Ji, bowing and scraping like she was worth nothing, Jiaojiao thought: How dangerous could she really be?

Later, she realized just how wrong she had been.

That day, Pei Ji led four hundred thousand troops and surrounded her on all sides. From atop the high platform, she gazed down with a triumphant smile.

“He Jiaojiao, there’s nowhere left to run. If you try, they’ll all die.”

System: Host, the situation is spiraling out of control. What do we do?

Jiaojiao: “You’re asking me?!”

Pei Ji had gambled correctly—she never dared run again.

Until one day, Jiaojiao chose to die beneath Pei Ji’s battle-worn, blood-soaked blade, leaving behind not a single word.

Years later, across the eastern seas, the once-fearsome General Pei returned—disheveled, hollow-eyed, a shadow of herself. She fought and bled daily, unapproachable, and no one dared speak to her.

System: Host, wake up! You’re still alive!

Pei Ji had been born in a heavy snowstorm, the same storm that took her mother’s life.

Her father treated her with cruelty and scorn. When he finally died, she felt nothing—if anything, she thought he deserved it.

But when He Jiaojiao died, it snowed again. The storm nearly buried Pei Ji too. And the eyes she cherished most disappeared into that endless winter.
