After I Transmigrated, I Provoked the Most Powerful Yandere

The 21st-century prodigy Liu Yitang transmigrates into the body of a farmer’s daughter, only to be taken to the century-old Cui estate as a candidate for concubinage. Give in? Never. She plans to escape, but accidentally draws the attention of Cui Yanzhi, the Cui family’s notorious playboy sixth young master.

He always wears a half-mask gilded in gold. Dressed in finery and making a show of himself, he nevertheless “happens” to reach out and save her whenever she is on the brink of disaster. Just as she is falling for him more and more, she suddenly discovers the secret hidden behind his mask.

The young man she took for the Cui family’s disfavored playboy is, in truth, a ruthless, scheming overlord lying in wait for revenge.

The help she thought was a lifeline in her darkest hour was merely a game he played to amuse himself.

As she turns to leave, the young lord lifts his mask and grips her wrist tight. “My motives may be impure… but every kindness I’ve shown you came from the heart. Every word was sincere.”

With red-rimmed eyes, Liu Yitang gives a faint laugh. “By the rules, shouldn’t you call me sister-in-law?”

Cui Yanzhi grips her shoulders hard, each word sinking into her heart. “I can destroy the entire Cui family with my own hands. What’s one more thing like taking you for myself?”

…

The two of them meet at the ends of their respective ropes. She is the moon trapped at the bottom of the deep well that is the Cui estate, and he is the only one who bends down to look into its depths. They are reborn amid the ashes, find each other at the edge of the abyss, and finally leave the bitter winter behind for spring.
