Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Yuetong's aura turned icy cold.

The man blocking her way was staring at her with a cold expression. Jiang Yuetong couldn't help but grit her teeth and say, "You're a born cucumber, you deserve to be slapped!"

This person, who claims to be the manager of the book, repeatedly sabotages her plans, declaring that no one can disrupt the plot.

They even saved several characters who were crucial to the plot from her, which greatly angered her.

She endured countless hardships from a young age, walking the edge of life and death every day, all for the sake of becoming stronger so that she could seek revenge against her fake father in the demon race. She wasn't going to be cannon fodder for others.

"Jiang Yuetong, don't be so arrogant!"

The two started fighting in mid-air.

The bodyguards who followed Jiang Yuetong appeared one after another and surrounded the manager in the book, catching him off guard from time to time.

Seeing that he was about to lose, the manager in the book gritted his teeth as if he had made a great decision, and slipped away from Jiang Yuetong.

"There's a mission. Completing it will get you removed from the list of supporting actresses. Do you want to give it a try?"

"In no mood."

The manager in the book: ...

Why is it different from what he expected?

"If you don't do this mission, your fate will be the same as in your previous life: to die by the heroine's sword."

"Oh, really?" Jiang Yuetong's red lips curled slightly, her expression clearly showing disbelief.

"If you say that, aren't you afraid I'll kill her?"

The manager in the book narrowed his eyes slightly, "You actually discovered it a long time ago. Back then, when you personally took action, you only managed to seriously injure the female lead, and you even suffered a backlash yourself."

No matter how many assassinations you've carried out over the years, it's only accelerated the heroine's growth, which is why you're so eager to stop her.

"But if you protect the female lead and grow up alongside her, you'll be part of the main cast, and the ending will definitely change," the manager in the book continued to persuade.

"What kind of tricks are you plotting? Don't think I don't know." Jiang Yuetong's eyes flickered, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on her lips.

"Most of the important characters in the book have been imprisoned, so you only came to me because you had no other choice."

After all, you couldn't save those people. If I were to truly protect Li Qingrong as she ventures across the continent, without those who follow her, I would have to bear all the dangers myself.

Jiang Yuetong thought to herself: She's not some kind of innocent victim.

"You have to think positively. Although following the female lead is fraught with danger, there are also many opportunities. You might even be able to form a contract with an ancient divine beast."

"Hmph, what a huge pie!"

Not wanting to waste time, Jiang Yuetong ordered her men to hold him off and then immediately headed to the western cliff of Yaoshui Forest.

The original female lead, Li Qingrong, was an alchemist. In her previous life, she fell off a cliff while collecting herbs and met the injured male lead.

As they approached the cliff, they heard a young boy's angry voice shouting from below: "Hurry up and go find someone!"

Jiang Yuetong was speechless; she was late after all.

Without hesitation, he rushed to the bottom of the cliff and soon saw Li Qingrong, who was covered in dirt, squatting on the ground and skillfully performing acupuncture on someone.

While she wasn't paying attention, Jiang Yuetong produced a long red whip and quickly lashed it at Li Qingrong.

Hearing the noise, Li Qingrong tried to dodge but was bound by a long whip, and the silver needles in her hand fell to the ground.

Upon seeing that the person who came was Jiang Yuetong, a look of shock flashed across her clear and bright eyes. As if she had thought of something, she stared at her warily and said hatefully, "It's you again!"

Her petite and pretty face was filled with anger.

Thirty years ago, this woman with powerful spiritual energy struck her and left her bedridden for more than half a year.

That terrifying aura of death was something she would never forget.

With a cold expression, Jiang Yuetong walked steadily toward her, the length of her whip gradually shortening.

"What, what are you planning to do now?" Li Qingrong swallowed hard and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

But he accidentally stepped on a small stone, cried out "Ah!" and fell face down to the ground.

Jiang Yuetong glanced at him and then looked away, squatting down next to the male lead, Song Yunqian.
