After the Horror Game's Beauty Boss Retired and Became a Doll

● A wicked, terminally ill beauty of a boss who takes a beating × all kinds of dark, crawling, yandere male leads who fall hard

Blurb:

Xue Biansheng was stunningly beautiful, but also an absolutely vile villain. He used to make life difficult for players at every turn in infinite-flow horror games, earning himself quite a notorious reputation.

But recently, he finally got to retire.

After quitting his job as a horror-game boss, Xue Biansheng happily planned to settle down in the human world and live freely on his own. He never expected to turn into a fragile doll in the blink of an eye.

Horror Game System: [Dear coworker, because you are deeply entangled in the resentment of other players, you can only maintain a doll form after coming to the human world.]

Horror Game System: [But I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?]

Xue Biansheng stayed optimistic: [What's the good news?]

Horror Game System: [The good news is that you can regain a human body by reducing one player's resentment toward you. The bad news is that the players who resent you have already started hunting you down.]

Xue Biansheng: [...]

As a doll, Xue Biansheng didn't want to sleep rough in the human world. With a glimmer of hope, he sought out Player One, the player who resented him least.

Player One stared thoughtfully at the doll that had suddenly appeared by the roadside, then took it home to wash and dress it.

Great, this person has a childlike heart and will take good care of a doll.

Just as Xue Biansheng thought his plan would go smoothly, he heard Player One cursing him viciously in his sleep.

Xue Biansheng: ...

This one won't do. Time to run.

Xue Biansheng found Player Two and had only been living in his home as a doll for a few days when he saw him sharpening a blade in the kitchen, swearing that next time they met, he'd chop Xue Biansheng to pieces.

Xue Biansheng: ... Never again.

After that, Xue Biansheng kept looking for other players.

Player Three said he would slice him up.

Player Four wanted to turn him into a specimen.

Player Five...

Xue Biansheng was exhausted. Giving up, he went back to Player One's home. At least this guy only cursed him to his face.

But when Xue Biansheng showed up again, he learned that Player One had been looking for him for a long time.

The other man wrapped trembling fingers around him, overjoyed at having found him again. “Thank goodness, I finally found you. I thought someone had stolen you.”

The next moment, Player Two suddenly appeared and said ominously, “So that's where my doll went. You little thief, you took it.”

Player Three jumped in: “You two thieves, let go of him!”

Player Four jumped in: “You three thieves, let go of him!”

Player Five jumped in: “Stop it! You're all thieves!”

Xue Biansheng: ...

These top-ranked players suddenly started fighting and getting jealous over who would get to keep the doll.

# Villains get their comeuppance. He may have a wicked heart, but he's devastatingly beautiful. #

# He only wants to survive. What's he done wrong? As long as he's happy, everyone else can suffer. #
