Xu Mingqiao, a police academy student, is transported into a demon-hunting novel and becomes a member of the protagonist's group.
The System tells her that, in the future, the villain will kill the male and female leads and destroy the world, ruining the ending. She has to win over that villain, Xun Qingyan, and change everything.
Mingqiao: What have I done to deserve this?
She tries to find another way, but things don't look promising.
After knowing him for one day: [System alert: Villain's favorability -30]
After knowing him for less than a week: [System alert: Villain's favorability -65]
Did she commit some heavenly crime or something?
But when his favorability reaches -85, the villain's cool, soft lips press against hers.
? Who knows. Anyway, where her family comes from, you don't kiss your enemies.
As for what happened the day the villain's favorability hit -100... best not to bring it up.
It wasn't until some far-off day in the future that Xu Mingqiao learned that the boy whose inner world was almost entirely black had never been taught how to understand his own feelings.
Heaven knows that, at first, Xu Mingqiao only wanted to stop the villain from destroying the world so she could go home.
But later, when that powerful yet fragile young man bent down and asked her, "Let's stay together for the rest of our lives, never parting. Will you?"
Her heart was still easily thrown into turmoil. For one reason or another, though, she just couldn't bring the word yes to her lips.
From childhood onward, Xun Qingyan had walked a dark and desolate road, like an endless night. He had to figure out every truth of the world for himself, and thought it would always be that way.
Until he met Xu Mingqiao.
He had thought he could hold on to that bright light forever, but one day, she died in his arms.
From then on, his world fell apart completely.
Until, lost in chaos, he saw her eyes again.
