Accidentally Fell for the Male Lead’s Uncle

Mingming is an ancient snake demon who survived from primordial times. To break through the bottleneck in her cultivation, she becomes bound to a romance conquest system. Using the male lead’s appearance as its guide, Mingming finds him in the perpetually dark Wilderness of Eternal Night. She carries him out of certain death, heals his grievous injuries, and cures his blindness. She loves to eat, so she often leans in to sniff the delicious scent clinging to him. She also transforms into her snake form and coils around him as a gesture of friendship, even inviting him to stroke her beautiful tail. On the day before the male lead regains his sight, he pulls her tightly into his embrace and asks, “After I open my eyes… will I be able to see you?” Mingming nods. Convinced that her conquest mission has been a resounding success, she figures that ascending to immortality and attaining godhood is just around the corner. Who would have thought that the dormant system would suddenly awaken and, in a panic, inform her that this man was not the male lead. They merely looked alike. That very night, hordes of chaotic spirits descended upon the Wilderness of Eternal Night. Mingming shoved the unfortunate man she had mistaken for the male lead into safety, then threw herself into the tide of chaotic spirits, faking her death as she made her escape. After sleeping for a hundred years, Mingming infiltrates a prestigious cultivation clan under the system’s instructions. Disguising herself as an ordinary human girl named Shen Ming, she finally finds the real conquest target. The real male lead is far more troublesome than the unlucky fellow from the Wilderness of Eternal Night. Not only is he unbearably arrogant, but he also harbors feelings for an unattainable first love. On top of that, he comes from the most exclusive and insular great clan in the cultivation world. Rumor has it that his cold, stern uncle, the clan head, has no tolerance whatsoever for worldly love and romance. Mingming tells herself that she will overcome any obstacle for the sake of her mission… until she meets the male lead’s legendary uncle. Mingming: ‘T… That’s the unlucky guy I mistakenly tried to romance all those years ago?!’ All she can do is desperately keep her true identity hidden while wholeheartedly pursuing the male lead. Yet time and again, that unlucky fellow looks down on her and gets in the way of her love story with the male lead. Later, she travels far and wide to help the true male lead pursue the unattainable dream of winning over his first love. Along the way, she is afflicted by a strange venom, and her ten thousand years of cultivation nearly come to ruin. By then, she has become trapped within an illusionary realm, imprisoned in a pitch-black dungeon, unable even to maintain her human form. In her haze, the prison door swings open. The unlucky fellow, who is also trapped within the illusionary realm, appears before Mingming. His sight has long since returned, yet his eyes are still covered by a strip of white silk. Mingming’s bloodstained snake tail hangs limply to the ground. Hearing the familiar sound, his trembling hands reach up and remove the white silk. Then, beneath Mingming, he sees the very same snake tail he had gently stroked countless times in the Wilderness of Eternal Night.
