(Don't read) Modern setting with a touch of fantasy + obsessive redemption + System conquest + reborn reversal + dark, unhinged characters + love through illness
Wen Zhe Yuan, heiress to the Wenlian Group, had been having one dream after another. Through them, she discovered that she was the doomed early-death beloved in a novel.
Wen Zhe Yuan didn't care about her own life, but she had one hard limit: no one was allowed to hurt her family.
To keep her family alive, she chose to cooperate with the System, earning repair points by touching the villain, Shang Qingyan.
And so, the following scenes unfolded one after another:
--"I hate blood and knives, but I think your blood tastes sweet." Smiling brightly, Wen Zhe Yuan said it as if she had lost control, her hand tightening around the man's throat.
--"Tell me, will everyone leave me?" At the hospital, the boy looked at the girl before him through his tears and asked in a choked voice.
Wen Zhe Yuan said, "Yes. Everyone will leave you. You're just a poor little thing."
In the end, he pinned her down, holding her as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones. Unable to hold back any longer, he rasped, "Wen Zhe Yuan, what... do you want?"
"I want, I want, I want... I want every star in the clouds of the void to explode." Wen Zhe Yuan's brows curved as she whispered like an angel. "I want you, the all-powerful you, to be powerless. I want you to... [love me]."
The System's review: As expected, romance is best when it's between lunatics. Thrilling, so satisfying.
[Right up my alley, and fun.]
