Maybe I Should Let the Villain Save Me

Xie Ying was born into a family of cultivators, but she was frail from birth and had no spiritual root. At home, she was bullied relentlessly and treated worse than a dog.

Then one day, she bound herself to a System.

The System told her she was a cannon-fodder supporting character in a book, destined for a miserable end. But if she could redeem the antagonist, she could change her fate.

The antagonist was named Li Wenliang.

The boy was heartless and cold, and treated human life as worthless. To him, the only interesting thing in the world was destroying it.

Ever since he became conscious, he had known he was living in a book.

To stop him from destroying the world, all sorts of strange people came to his side, trying to redeem him.

Without exception, he killed every one of them.

Until he met Xie Ying.

The girl was frail and pitiful, like a delicate white flower that would crumble at the slightest touch.

Before he could kill her, she was already weeping in terror. "Is killing just me not enough for you, Demon Lord? I'll tell you where my family lives. Why not kill my whole family too? 🥹"

Li Wenliang: ?

*

Xie Ying has a face that inspires pity, but inside she's twisted and dark, hating heaven, earth, and the whole world. She'd kick any dog that crossed her path, yet she's terrifyingly weak and gets bullied every day.

Until she meets Li Wenliang.

She writes down the names of everyone who has bullied her and tells Li Wenliang to wipe out their entire families. If someone accidentally steps on her foot, she cries and demands that he chop theirs off.

If Li Wenliang refuses, she cries, throws tantrums, and threatens to hang herself, filling his ears with her sobs until he gets no peace.

This girl is so twisted that even the antagonist Li Wenliang seems gentle and kind by comparison.

Li Wenliang: ...

Li Wenliang used to want to destroy the world.

Now he eats vegetarian meals and prays every day, preaching benevolence and righteousness. All he wants is to persuade Xie Ying to be a good person.
