After Living and Dying Together with the Villain

Sheng Lingsui fell in love with the villain Ning Shanyuan, the man who was supposed to kill her.

One day, she suddenly woke up to the fact that in the future, she would die a miserable death at the villain Ning Shanyuan's hands, becoming the first innocent soul he slaughtered on his path to destroying the world.

The System arrived late, and to apologize, gave her a matching-knot bracelet that could be bound to a loved one as a welcome gift.

Late one night, she came across Ning Shanyuan, who was on the verge of death deep in the mountains. He lay in the woods, drenched in blood.

Before Sheng Lingsui could get the words "I want to break off our engagement" out, the bracelet bound them automatically and broadcasted to everyone: "May the matching knot bring you both lifelong happiness. P.S. Once bound, you'll live and die together!"

At that moment, Ning Shanyuan had her by the throat and was threatening her. The matching knot took effect, and a wave of suffocation washed over her.

Sheng Lingsui sobbed. "I hate you!"

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

Sheng Lingsui burst into tears. "I loathe you!"

Ning Shanyuan: "..."

After the matching knot was undone, Sheng Lingsui felt Ning Shanyuan's gaze on her growing stranger and stranger. He was probably about to take her life!

After thinking it over, Sheng Lingsui suppressed her fear, laid the broken engagement letter in front of Ning Shanyuan, and shakily raised her eyes. "I want to br... break off our engagement."

The atmosphere turned icy and still.

Ning Shanyuan's long fingers rested on the marriage contract, neither lightly nor heavily, but the touch struck her heart like a thunderclap. "Why break off the engagement?"

Sheng Lingsui trembled, and tears began to fall again. "I have someone I... I like."

The person before her acted as if he hadn't heard, using those hands to hold her tightly, leaving not the slightest gap.

He deftly wiped away her tears and gently coaxed her. "Good Manman, everyone outside is awful. How about your senior brother kills him for you?"

Everyone knew that Ning Shanyuan didn't like the junior sister he was engaged to.

She was a crybaby, fragile, and good for nothing but her face.

At night, a chain dangled from Sheng Lingsui's wrist, jingling as it swayed.

The young man's fluffy head nestled against her neck. He nipped at her skin and spoke in a bewitching whisper. "Good junior sister, how about we get married?"
