I Accidentally Cast a Love Spell, and the Villain Begs for My Mercy

Straight-shooting Miaojiang girl with a devilish streak × gloomy, insecure ghostly villain

[Transmigrate into a book + Gu poisoning + forced love + redemption]

Jiang Man transmigrates into a book as an innocent passerby whom the villain casually strangles to death.

To stay alive, she kicks the male lead she just rescued into unconsciousness,

then pledges her loyalty to the villain.

But she gets a little too enthusiastic and, from the start, pulls down the villain's trouser leg, revealing his...

The villain is furious. But when he hears she knows how to make Gu, he refuses to leave her house and forces her to create a life-and-death Gu.

But Jiang Man has no idea how to make Gu. Luckily, she has an instruction manual.

Only, what kind of lousy manual requires watching ads to unlock the instructions?

Later, she accidentally makes a passion Gu instead of a life-and-death Gu.

That night, the villain actually ties himself up and kneels, begging Jiang Man to show him mercy.

Jiang Man figures she has no obligation to turn down a good thing,

so she gladly accepts the offer as a perk.

The next day, while the villain is still asleep,

she sells him and the male lead together to a brothel.

Thanks to the money she gets from selling them, her life is getting better by the day!

What she doesn't know is that the villain is tormented every day by the passion Gu she accidentally made him take.

He brings Jiang Man back to break the Gu and drops the act. What was supposed to be breaking the Gu and getting revenge turns into forced love. (In truth, he resorts to every means available, humbles himself, and plays the victim to beg Jiang Man to sleep with him.)

In the end, Jiang Man can't bring herself to refuse and decides to break the Gu for him.

“Wait, you said it takes eighty-one days to break the Gu. Isn't that a bit much?”

A few things to know before digging in:

1. Both leads are devoted to each other, but neither is obligated to keep things platonic!

2. Don't scrutinize the Gu-making details. They're mainly there to serve the plot.
