[Sweet-faced, secretly ruthless, money-loving and flirtatious girl / mad villain bent on destroying the world]
Wen Xuan transmigrates into a book as a cannon-fodder supporting character. From the start, she is poisoned and blinded, then pushed off a cliff.
"I saved you. Your life belongs to me now."
She cannot see and can only hear his voice. It sounds low and melodious, so beautiful that he must be an exceptionally handsome man.
"I've heard that saving a life is worth more than building a seven-story pagoda. I have no way to repay you, so I'll offer myself to you. From now on, my life belongs to my husband. We'll share a bed in life and the same grave in death, and never forsake each other, for all eternity."
"If that's what you want, then I'll grant it."
"With soul as the bond, life joined as one, spiritual veins in harmony, let us seal our souls and form a pact."
She has no idea that he is the original story's villain, Ye Kui, a born bad seed, a god of slaughter bent on destroying the world, without love or compassion, desire or longing. He only wants to destroy the world and kill people.

Later, Wen Xuan grows plump and rosy, with fair skin and lovely features. Her power grows stronger, and she gains a divine artifact. On a dark, windy night, Ye Kui decides to devour her. He bites her neck so hard he nearly breaks it. She pushes him away and patiently explains, "That's not how you kiss. I'll show you."
The girl's lips press against his, and Ye Kui's eyes suddenly widen...
-
Later still, Wen Xuan's eyesight returns, and she finally sees the person before her clearly: Ye Kui, the villain bent on destroying the world.
For a moment, Wen Xuan cannot think of another teasing remark. She turns and runs.
But Ye Kui corners her against the wall.
"Weren't we going to be husband and wife?"
"Why are you running?"
