Blurb:

After transmigrating into a book for sixteen years, Xie Yunqing's insignificant little System suddenly transformed into a Villain Redemption System.

By then, the villain had already turned completely dark, slaughtering a city and murdering his own family. Anyone who got close to him had their bones ground to dust.

System: [Go redeem that villain, quick!]

Xie Yunqing: ...? Redeem the villain? Me? o.O?

To stay alive, Xie Yunqing had a sudden flash of (desperate) inspiration: he would pretend to be the villain's inner demon!

Who knew that at their first meeting, before he'd even finished his lines, the villain would throw him over his shoulder and slam him into the mud?

Xie Yunqing gritted his teeth: Whoever wants this job can do it! Anyway, I'm...

System: [Mission failed. Erasure warning.]

Then he had to keep at it! Xie Yunqing not only secretly helped the villain snatch the protagonist's opportunities, but also paid out of his own pocket to find spiritual medicines that could repair his dantian.

An accident left Xie Yunqing trapped in an illusion. In a muddled state, he somehow married the villain, had his way with him, then shamelessly slapped him across the face, taking advantage of the illusion.

On their wedding night, Xie Yunqing brazenly slipped the villain a truth serum. "Do you love me?"

The villain smiled. "No."

Xie Yunqing smiled and said he knew it, but inside, he couldn't help feeling hurt. So it was all just wishful thinking on his part.

By chance, Xie Yunqing witnessed the villain kill with a single sword strike a cultivator who had once helped him. Only then did Xie Yunqing see clearly: the villain was cold and heartless, and he was nothing but a stepping stone on the villain's path to ascension. Heartbroken, he began plotting his own fake death and escape.

But as his life and cultivation faded away, he saw the villain, eyes bloodshot and seemingly mad, hurtling toward him.

Lu Yu, the Demon Venerable's legitimate son, was born evil. On the day he came of age, he personally killed the old servant who had raised him, then came alone to the Immortal City.

There, Lu Yu met a liar full of holes who claimed to be his inner demon.

A noisy, stupid little thing. He ought to be grateful he was an inner demon, since Lu Yu couldn't lay a hand on him for now.

His inner demon made terrible food for him and sang awful songs. He slept while Lu Yu practiced his sword, then offered praise without a shred of sincerity.

When the little thing was quiet, Lu Yu would watch him. Coming back to himself, he would find his fingertips had passed uselessly through that person's insubstantial body.

...Why do you have to be my inner demon? he thought indifferently. I can't even hold you.

Lu Yu didn't love him. Lu Yu resented him.

He resented his lies and concealment, resented how he kept leaving without a word, resented that he had never loved him the way Lu Yu loved him.

Most of all, he resented that even though he didn't love him, at the moment of life and death he had pushed Lu Yu away and charged headlong into an enemy's blade without looking back.

Right before Lu Yu's eyes, his soul scattered into nothing.

Bonus scene!

Xie Yunqing took a blade for the villain and slept for ten whole years.

The good news: he turned misfortune into fortune and formed his Nascent Soul in one fell swoop.

The even better news: the villain had long since fallen for someone else. He'd not only married young, but had also been widowed, and was now publicly declaring in the cultivation world that he would remain celibate for his late wife.

Unable to hold back his curiosity, Xie Yunqing secretly went to peek at the portrait of the late wife kept hidden in the villain's residence.

...Wait.

Can someone tell him why Lu Yu's late wife looks exactly like him?!

And who tied this gold chain around his ankle?

Here is the preview:

Jiang Jiang's alpha was killed in battle, the day after Jiang Jiang discovered he was cheating.

Jiang Jiang personally hosted his farewell ceremony. Facing his husband's photograph, he was overcome with grief, crying until he nearly fainted.

His husband's adjutant openly took his place, embracing Jiang Jiang in his black veil. "Madam, if you're willing, I can take your husband's place."

His husband's superior held his shoulder. "Come back to me, Jiang Jiang. He was the one who came between us in the first place."

His husband's student knelt before him and kissed his fingertips. "Teacher's wife, let me take care of you for the rest of your life."

Jiang Jiang hid his smiling lips behind a black feather fan. "Waaah! I... I can't forget him. But the baby in my belly... needs a father, too."

Yan Shiyong was the first alpha Jiang Jiang met on Central Star, his only friend, and his first husband.

When Jiang Jiang was at military academy, he followed Yan Shiyong around for four years. Everyone knew he was desperately in love with him.

Jiang Jiang married him the year after graduation, then used his influence to climb the ranks.

But Jiang Jiang didn't like Yan Shiyong at all. He was old-fashioned, lustful, and controlling. If he wanted, Jiang Jiang would immediately lose his job and become a canary whose every thought revolved around him.

Now, his cold husband had become a warm bank balance. Jiang Jiang casually picked an alpha he liked from among the candidates and filled his husband's vacant place.

The second wedding was grand and dazzling. Jiang Jiang held out his hand, smiling as the alpha trembled while sliding the diamond ring onto his finger.

"I do..."

The doors to the wedding hall were suddenly thrown open. Yan Shiyong's twisted, demon-like face appeared in the doorway.

"Jiang Jiang. I haven't agreed to divorce you yet. You're carrying my child, and you still want to marry someone else?"

Trembling, Jiang Jiang hid behind his new husband, afraid to meet Yan Shiyong's eyes.

...How was Yan Shiyong still alive? He'd clearly, clearly killed him with his own hands!
