After Binding Myself to a Yandere Villain, He Won't Leave Me Alone

Sheng Lingsui falls for Ning Shanyuan, the villain who is destined to kill her.

One day, she suddenly wakes up to the fact that in the future, she will die a gruesome death by Ning Shanyuan's sword, becoming the first innocent soul he slaughters on his path to destroy the world.

The System arrives late, and to make up for it, gives her a welcome gift: a love-knot bracelet that can bind two lovers together.

One late night, she comes across Ning Shanyuan, barely alive in the mountains, lying in the forest covered in blood.

Before Sheng Lingsui can get the words to break off their engagement out, the bracelet binds them automatically and broadcasts to everyone: "The love knot wishes you both a long and happy life together. P.S. Once bound, you share life and death."

At the time, Ning Shanyuan has her by the throat, threatening her life. The love knot's effect kicks in, and a wave of suffocation washes over her.

Sheng Lingsui sobs, "I hate you!"

Ning Shanyuan's face is dark with menace. "Shut up, you princess."

At that, Sheng Lingsui bursts into tears. "I despise you!"

Ning Shanyuan: "..."

After the love knot is undone, Sheng Lingsui feels that Ning Shanyuan looks at her more and more strangely. Surely he's planning to take her life!

After much deliberation, Sheng Lingsui suppresses her fear and lays the divorce-from-the-engagement papers in front of Ning Shanyuan. Trembling, she raises her eyes to him. "I want to break... break off our engagement."

The atmosphere turns deathly quiet.

Ning Shanyuan's long fingers tap the marriage contract, neither gently nor roughly. Yet the impact on her heart is startling. "Why break off the engagement?"

Sheng Lingsui shudders, and tears spill from her eyes again. "I have someone I... I like."

The person in front of her seems not to have heard. He only wraps his arms tightly around her body, leaving not a sliver of space between them.

Skilfully wiping away her tears, Ning Shanyuan coaxes her softly. "Sweet Manman, everyone outside is awful. How about your senior brother kills him for you?"

Everyone knows Ning Shanyuan dislikes the junior sister he is engaged to.

She's weepy and fragile, with nothing going for her but her looks.

At night, the chain around Sheng Lingsui's wrist swings and jingles.

The young man's fluffy head buries itself in the crook of her neck. He nips at her skin and murmurs enticingly, "Dear junior sister, how about we get married?"
