My Ten-Year Best Friend Is the Male Lead of an Explicit Novel!

[A fake yandere heroine × a genuinely yandere, wickedly charming male lead] [Enters VIP serialization at Chapter 27. Thanks for reading!] Shen Shiyi learns she has transmigrated into an explicit novel, where she must play a yandere villain who gets hot and heavy with the male lead. By then, she and her assigned target have already spent ten years in a wholesome, friendly relationship. Yan Eryi is her closest friend. They have faced life and death together again and again, sharing both fortune and misfortune. Their bond is deep, and their friendship has stayed just as strong over the years. Everyone in the cultivation world knows their friendship is as pure as it is unbreakable. Shen Shiyi: “You mean I’m supposed to drag my friend of more than ten years into bed?” The System apologizes profusely. “It weren’t on purpose! I got swept away by a spacetime turbulence. Who knew that while I was gone for just a little bit, you and your partner had been together for ten years already? Also, young lady, why d’you talk so rough?” Shen Shiyi: “Heh.” But when threatened with “If you don’t follow the character settings, you and your partner will both die,” she grits her teeth and forces herself to do it. * “121…” Facing her radiant, upright friend, Shen Shiyi calls him by the name only she uses, and finds it even harder to speak. “Mm.” Yan Eryi slides his sword into its sheath and naturally reaches out to feel her forehead. “Why’s your face so red? Did you catch a chill?” His warm concern only makes Shen Shiyi more embarrassed to say anything. Meanwhile, the System is cheering her on in her mind: “Host, what’re you standing there for? Go on! Grab your partner’s hand and get to it!” “Shiyi?” Yan Eryi’s pleasant, deep voice is filled with concern. Shen Shiyi shuts her eyes. “I’m sorry, 121. I really have no choice. Please don’t blame me. Once the mission’s over, we can still be friends!” She flings both hands up. Bewitching powder scatters everywhere. Yan Eryi is standing too close, and takes the full blast. He collapses on the spot. [Congratulations, Host! You’ve mastered the yandere villain’s basic skill number one: Claim your territory and keep your beloved from escaping!] As she gently stashes her friend deep inside the cave, Shen Shiyi weeps buckets. “Damn System, I’ll never forgive you! You must be blind to tell me to tie up Yan Eryi. He’s my crush’s sworn brother and my good friend! To hell with your matchmaking! How am I supposed to face anyone after I get out of here…?” The System ignores her and keeps issuing missions. [Yandere villain basic skill number two: Tie them up with red string and throw a grand feast] [Yandere villain basic skill number three: Silver chains and bells, and frame them for trying to escape] [Yandere villain basic skill number four: Speak of your twisted love and cling to them sweetly] [Yandere villain basic skill number five: A luxurious bed, with a golden cage beside it] [And so on…] * The mission is over… Shen Shiyi stares blankly as she unlocks the chain around Yan Eryi’s ankle. “Eryi, I’m sorry. I know you must hate me now… Do whatever you want to me.” Her friend, who hasn’t seen daylight in ages, is dressed in a loose white robe. The skin exposed beneath it is an unhealthy pallor. He slowly sits up in bed and gazes at her with dark eyes. After a long silence, he rasps, “It’s over?” Shen Shiyi nods. “…It’s over.” She lowers her head, unable to look him in the eye, and murmurs, “You can kill me or punish me however you like.” In the silent room, a low laugh breaks the stillness like a water clock dripping in the dead of night, cold and jarring. “Who said it was over?” “What?” The next moment, a delicate golden chain is fastened around Shen Shiyi’s ankle. The young man’s long, pale, strong fingers pluck at the chain. His tone is inscrutable. “This is only the beginning.” * Yan Eryi never told Shen Shiyi that they had first met long before their encounter beneath the Porcelain Flower Pavilion on the Yongzhou Continent. Nor was he a righteous cultivator who had survived a massacre of his family and kept faith in the light. On the day they first met, he had just slaughtered his enemies’ entire household and emerged from a mountain of corpses. Across a lake, he saw her playing with flowers beneath the bright sun alongside the one she loved. Under the blazing sun, a bowl-sized crimson flower rested against the girl’s fair, rosy cheek. The flower glowed, and he narrowed his long eyes. His cold heart, too, began to glow. [Both leads are virgins. One-on-one pairing.] Theme: Face your own desires.
