With double rebirth, mind-reading abilities, and a wife-chasing system, their past life's tragic love story is now a living hell.

    [Sweet Romance, Heartbreaking Love, Revenge] I transmigrated into the body of a female protagonist in a Xianxia (fantasy martial arts) novel, tasked with preventing the villain from turning evil. The system said that as long as I was kind enough to the villain, I could reform him with love. I did as instructed for three years, showering him with care, shielding him from harm, and even forging my own magical artifact for his protection. Yet, he remained cold as ice, growing increasingly disgusted with me. Until the day he personally threw me into the Demon Cave. As I plummeted off the cliff, I heard him sneer: "You think I don't know that your kindness towards me is only because of my face and my innate demonic bones?" Later, I grew tired, abandoned my strategy, and married his upright and noble master. But on my wedding day, he massacred the entire immortal sect.
