Xiao Xi never expected to die after binge-reading her favorite novel—
nor did she expect to wake up inside it.

Transmigrated into the body of a beautiful but doomed D-list actress, Xiao Xi becomes the very cannon fodder who dies in the first three chapters.
Her new life should have ended there.

Except this time… she wakes up with a mysterious System, the ability to steal luck, and the memories of a future that was never hers.

Worse—
the man fated to die before the novel even begins, the cold and untouchable CEO Gu Yanzhou, is suddenly alive… and reborn.

Two broken destinies collide.
One was supposed to vanish.
One was supposed to never exist.

And now both lives are spiraling off the original plot in ways the world cannot contain.

Thrown into a viral reality show, Xiao Xi becomes an overnight superstar while dodging jealous rivals, malicious systems, alternate timelines, and a corrupted entity obsessed with possessing her soul.

But through every trial, Gu Yanzhou stays by her side—
a man who remembers death,
who refuses to lose her again,
and who silently, fiercely, desperately loves her.

As Xiao Xi evolves from cannon fodder to Guardian, she discovers her true power:
not the System,
not the luck she steals,
but the love that can rewrite worlds.

Together, they will defy fate.
Fight corrupted systems.
Break every timeline.
And claim a future strong enough to hold both their hearts.

A future filled with passion, war, healing…
and eventually,
a family of their own.

A story of rebirth, power, destiny—and the love that conquers it all.

CHAPTER 109 – The First Root Devours the World 


Before Xiao Xi could launch her decisive attack,


The First Root, driven by panic and desperation, dissolved its colossal form into a swirling, hungry vortex of absolute darkness.


Shadows snapped outward in jagged, hungry tendrils, latching onto buildings, the frozen people, the sky, and even the atmospheric pressure.


It was no longer fighting with power; it was fighting with consumption.


and the entire world shuddered, a colossal, wrenching sound of reality tearing.


Land fractured and crumbled into the void. The sky inverted, turning black and white. Colors drained from the frozen scene, reducing the city to monochrome, dead stillness.


The First Root's voice boomed, triumphant and insane:


Xiao Xi's stomach twisted with immediate, visceral horror.


The First Root opened its terrifying maw of void,a gaping hole in existence,


and swallowed an entire half of the frozen city in one devastating gulp. 


Where the city had been, there was now only nothingness.


Shen screamed, horrified, clutching the stabilized but unconscious Gu Yanzhou:


Ling cried out, her light flickering under the weight of the destruction:


"This world can't take another collapse—it's too fragile!"


The Root Protagonist's eyes widened, his calm finally breaking into genuine terror.


"No… this is worse than a mere collapse.


 The past of this world will cease to exist!"


Xiao Xi froze, the magnitude of the threat overwhelming her.


The First Root laughed, a sound like ten thousand bones grinding together in victory.


Gu's voice, faint but clear, whispered inside her mind, a tiny anchor of sanity:


"Xi… don't look at it… it's pulling everything in… focus on me…"


Xiao Xi clenched her fists, her knuckles white, her resolve hardening through her terror.


The First Root sneered, its maw widening, ready to swallow the remaining half of the city.
