Transmigrated as the Villain’s Sword

Synopsis:

Ling Chenyan has transmigrated into the novel No Escape as a sword belonging to the villain, Guan Luowei. She has no cute appearance, no overpowered “cheat codes,” and has to constantly worry about losing her life.

To survive, she decides her top priority is self-protection.

When Guan Luowei tries to use her to kill enemies, she performs a full 360-degree dodge away from the opponent’s weapon.

When Guan Luowei tries to use her for scouting, she clings desperately to Guan Luowei’s leg, refusing to go no matter what.

Eventually, Guan Luowei senses something is wrong. When she takes the sword to a master swordsmith, his eyes light up: “This is a blessing! The sword has awakened a soul!”

However, after hearing about the sword’s strange behavior, the master ponders for a long time before cautiously concluding: “Perhaps… it’s just a bit delicate?”

Guan Luowei: “…”

Guan Luowei is a rebirth protagonist. In this life, the biggest variable is the weapon that followed her through her previous life. Throwing it away isn’t an option, so she decides to keep a close eye on it.

Through her observations, she discovers that while the sword is indeed “delicate,” it is also fiercely protective:

When someone insults her to her face, that person’s pants suddenly fall down for no reason, causing them to lose face in front of everyone.

When someone tries to frame her, their ancestral graves are dug up the next day—and not just one. The culprit is left weeping, swearing to find the grave-robber.

When she is being hunted, the sword suddenly becomes incredibly brave, shattering its own blade and nearly dispersing its soul to save her.

Guan Luowei always knew a young woman lived inside that blade. The girl had a beautiful voice but never showed her face—until one day, while Guan Luowei was bathing, she opened her eyes to see a pair of pure, crystal-clear eyes staring back at her.
