After Being Struck By The Love Gu, I Reached A Happy Ending With My Frail Best Friend

Synopsis: 

01

Shen Fangzhou transmigrated into a xianxia novel—as nothing more than an insignificant background character.

According to the original plot, she was destined to die in a heavenly catastrophe, her body and soul utterly obliterated.

Her only chance of survival was to help the female lead recover her missing souls.

The female lead was named Xie Guiwan. Because part of her soul was missing, she had been frail and sickly since childhood.

She possessed a face as lovely as blooming peach blossoms, yet constantly coughed up blood. Her limpid autumn eyes always shimmered with unshed tears, enough to stir pity in anyone who looked at her.

At the same time, she carried the people of the world in her heart. Her Dao Heart was as steadfast as iron, placing her high above ordinary mortals like an untouchable blossom on a lonely peak. No one dared harbor even the slightest improper thought toward her.

Shen Fangzhou befriended her.

When Xie Guiwan stayed temporarily at her sect, Shen Fangzhou searched everywhere for medicine to treat her injuries.

When Xie Guiwan traveled afar to eradicate demons, Shen Fangzhou accompanied her every step of the way, afraid that anything might happen to her.

Whenever Xie Guiwan thanked her, Shen Fangzhou merely replied that she had nothing better to do and told her not to think too much of it.

The two maintained nothing more than the relationship of fellow cultivators, entering and leaving together as they traveled the world, slaying demons and upholding the righteous path.

Others often remarked that Sword Venerable Shen had always been carefree and unrestrained, making friends wherever she went. Yet now she had curbed her wild nature and devoted all her attention to Sect Master Xie alone. Surely wedding bells couldn’t be far off.

Shen Fangzhou hurriedly denied it, insisting that she was simply acting out of pure righteousness and noble character.

Come on.

The female lead already has an official love interest! Besides, I’m only doing all this to stay alive! 

That remained true—

Until one day, when she was accidentally afflicted by a Love Gu.

Caught between dreams and wakefulness, it felt as though she had spent an entire night lost in reckless passion.

When she finally woke, Shen Fangzhou stared silently at the person lying beside her.

It was none other than the sickly female lead.

The other woman’s body was covered in unmistakable marks, and she lay asleep, pale and exhausted.

Shen Fangzhou: “…I’m doomed.”

02

Since taking over the Tianji Sect, Xie Guiwan had devoted her entire life to pursuing the Great Dao.

Love.

Romance.

A cultivation partner.

She had never once entertained such thoughts.

Until she met Shen Fangzhou.

That woman protected her with unwavering devotion, repeatedly throwing herself into danger on her behalf without ever uttering a single complaint.

At first, Xie Guiwan assumed Shen Fangzhou was just another ordinary person trying to curry favor with her through cheap tricks.

Yet whenever anyone asked about the two of them, Shen Fangzhou denied everything without hesitation, behaving as though she wanted nothing whatsoever to do with her.

For the first time in her life, Xie Guiwan found herself harboring a different kind of desire.

She wanted to watch the carefree, unrestrained Sword Venerable fall hopelessly in love with her…

…to worry over her…

…to lose herself completely because of her.

So one day, when Shen Fangzhou was struck by a Love Gu and cried out for help in a haze of delirium—

Xie Guiwan calmly closed the gates of the residence behind them.

Then she smiled softly.
