The original host was a naive and innocent junior sister of a sect, being the youngest and the sect leader's late daughter.
Everyone in the sect doted on her and indulged her. The one who spoiled her the most was her senior brother. Although he was ranked first, it was because he joined the sect earlier.
He was an abandoned infant adopted by the sect leader, who raised him. After having his own daughter, he wanted her to become his son-in-law.
After all, he had watched this child grow up. The male protagonist had always doted on the original host, so he planned to entrust the sect and his daughter to him.
With loving parents and senior brothers, and a fiancé she grew up with, the original host's life had always been simple and happy.
However, when disaster struck, she watched her parents die protecting her, her senior brothers fight to their last breath, and finally, she herself died under the enemy's sword. She was powerless!
She was filled with extreme regret, especially knowing that this disaster was caused by her absent senior brother! She resented herself for not practicing her swordplay diligently, for not cultivating her martial arts properly!
But it was all too late! She could only close her eyes with unwillingness and resentment.
It would have been one thing if the male protagonist had avenged the Lishan Sword Sect later, but he only killed the subordinates who carried out the attack. He even ended up with the female protagonist, the daughter of their enemy.
Since there was an enmity of sect destruction between the male and female protagonists, in order to make their union more justifiable, the author designed a plot where the female protagonist discovered the male protagonist's background.
It turned out that the male protagonist was the female protagonist's fiancé, betrothed since before birth. The jade pendant the male protagonist wore when the original host's father found him became proof of their recognition.
Thus, even the original host's status as a fiancée became secondary. After all, theirs was a betrothal before birth.
So, as the female protagonist's father apologized to the male protagonist, promised to withdraw from the martial arts world, and hand over all forces to the male protagonist after the male and female protagonists got married,
The male protagonist let go of this hatred. He finally became an enviable immortal couple with the female protagonist.
The original host's soul had been drifting in this world, but this was a wuxia world, not a supernatural one. Therefore, no one could see the original host's existence.
She watched her former fiancé rise to power; watched him and the daughter of his enemy become intimate; watched him so easily forgive the enemies who annihilated the entire Lishan sect.
Watched him feign nostalgia for her, and then the woman would start to act jealous because of it, and they would begin to flirt.
The original host's hatred almost drowned her soul, and blood tears fell drop by drop onto her chest.
She hated so much, wishing she could devour the dog couple before her alive! But she was unable to touch them, only watching in vain!
Lin Yan closed her eyes, using the action of drinking water to conceal the hatred in her eyes.
The overwhelming hatred and unwillingness were forcibly suppressed by Lin Yan. She took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.
When she slowly opened her eyes again, Lin Yan had returned to being that innocent and cheerful junior sister. In her eyes was worry for her injured senior brother, and apologies to the senior brothers accompanying her on the journey.
So this was a wuxia world. No wonder there were so many unreasonable aspects. After all, people of the martial arts world were unrestrained!
However, this world, according to its classification, should be considered low-martial. But even a low-martial world was dangerous. This was not a peaceful era; people truly died here.
Moreover, the original host was also from a martial arts sect and possessed martial arts skills, although not very high. But she, who had only learned some combat techniques, couldn't compare to it.
What's more, her combat techniques were learned empty-handed, as bladed weapons were controlled in her world. The original host, however, learned the sword. She had no foundation whatsoever.
"System, what time is it? How far has the plot progressed?"
Although Lin Yan had all the memories of the original host, the original host's emotions were too intense. She didn't dare to recall them now, fearing that her expression might reveal something amiss to those around her.
"It's when the male protagonist went down the mountain for training, and then news of his injury was sent back, which is why you are so anxious to descend the mountain."
"So, there are still about three years until the Lishan sect is annihilated?" Lin Yan extracted this memory. This event occurred before the main plot.
However, it was also mentioned in the plot because it was the first meeting between the male and female protagonists, or rather, the female protagonist's one-sided first meeting, and was mentioned in the female protagonist's recollection.
She remembered the original host's worry and concern at the time. The original host, disregarding her own health, traveled for three days. Upon arriving, she discovered that the male protagonist was not seriously injured.
Her taut nerves relaxed, and then she fell ill. This made the injured male protagonist extremely worried, and despite his own injuries, he went to take care of the original host.
This was also what the female protagonist always mentioned when referring to the original host: your ignorant fiancée, your overconfident junior sister.
They seemed to have always overlooked the original host's concern for the male protagonist at the time, and also ignored that it was her other senior brothers who primarily took care of the original host.
The original host's haste in going there was not due to the male protagonist's vague message, but her concern for his safety. Otherwise, she wouldn't have rushed there and consequently fallen ill.
Nor did she insist on the male protagonist taking care of her. The ones who took care of her were her other senior brothers and an old woman invited by them.
The male protagonist only served her medicine a few times, yet the female protagonist twisted it into her forcing the male protagonist to care for her while injured, and portrayed her as ignorant of the bigger picture.
Through such repeated brainwashing, the original host's personality seemed to have been distorted. Everyone forgot that she was a naive, innocent, and understanding young girl.
She turned into someone unreasonable, spoiled, and willful, and her very existence became an excuse for the female protagonist and male protagonist to be jealous.
But at that time, the original host and all her loved ones were already dead. No one could speak for the original host. The only person who could be considered her relative, the male protagonist, had been completely brainwashed by the female protagonist.
How difficult it was! The female protagonist had to go to great lengths to be with the male protagonist, and the female protagonist had to be jealous of her, a nobody!
Lin Yan wryly tilted her lips. Perhaps she could withdraw in advance, then hand over the male protagonist to the female protagonist. With her absence, the annihilation case would also not occur.
Wouldn't that be good! The male and female protagonists could just have their romance, and not get entangled in any family feuds. Isn't sweet romance good?
It's just that without the motivation of the sect's destruction, could the male protagonist still reach the status he did in the original story?
And was his background truly as the female protagonist claimed! Had her family really been looking for him all along?
After all, when the original host's father found him, the swaddling clothes were stained with blood.
Since she had become the original host, this sect would be protected by her. She would fulfill the original host's dying wish, protect her home, and protect her loved ones!
