Scheming, smiling, and outwardly good-hearted top x cool, sharp-tongued, gentle beauty bottom
Blurb:
Ying Miao had hated Ning Shuangxu for two lifetimes.
In his first life, he lay at Ning Shuangxu's feet, hating him until the day he died for leaving him to die.
In his second life, Ying Miao was reborn with a System. He concealed his identity and infiltrated Zhaoyue Sect with a clear goal: flirt with Ning Shuangxu, sleep with Ning Shuangxu, then kill Ning Shuangxu.
The System said he was lucky to get such an easy mission for free.
But only Ying Miao knew what Ning Shuangxu was really like. He looked cool and beautiful, so ethereal he seemed to have descended from the heavens, but in truth he was a wolf in sheep's clothing, cold as iron. Otherwise, he couldn't have cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness to a level unmatched by anyone before or since.
Then, to his utter surprise, the moment Ning Shuangxu laid eyes on him at the sect's recruitment, his affection score jumped to ten percent.
Ying Miao was stunned. Could this be love at first sight?
So he was greatly encouraged. He casually arranged "chance" encounters, pretended to be injured, pretended to be devoted, and acted like an abandoned puppy with nowhere to go, hiding his fangs and obediently baring his soft belly to Ning Shuangxu.
Everything seemed to be going quite smoothly. Ning Shuangxu began to blush around him and treat him tenderly, and even started coming over to ask for kisses.
So it happened with almost no surprises: the two of them slept together. That night, Ning Shuangxu innocently asked him, "Will you always stay by my side?"
For once, Ying Miao felt guilty, but he didn't answer.
Later, as the ten tribulation lightning bolts struck down, the System forced Ying Miao to rush in. His sword was in his hand, and the mission was almost complete, but then he realized, in despair, that no matter what, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Ning Shuangxu was covered in blood, yet his gaze was gentle as he looked at Ying Miao. "Were you after my Dao Heart?"
Ying Miao's vision blurred with tears. He couldn't utter a word. But the next moment, Ning Shuangxu tore out his own bloodied heart and placed it in Ying Miao's hands.
A cold notification sounded. Mission successful.
