Quirky, sunny girl & gloomy, obsessive, lovesick man
Romance-clueless girl & openly flirtatious, devoted man
Yu Minghuan transmigrated into a dark cultivation novel.
To get home, she had to find the three targets required by the System and reach 100% affection with each of them.
As luck would have it, right after she transmigrated into the book, a celestial lord rescued her.
When the celestial lord told her his name, Yu Minghuan was overjoyed. One of her conquest targets was right in front of her!
Pei Jinxu looked cold and mysterious, the sort of person who kept everyone at arm's length, but he was actually an exceptionally kind man who was softhearted to a fault.
Just as he was about to leave, Yu Minghuan's eyes lit up. She made up a whole story about her background, and... Pei Jinxu took her along.
After spending a long time together on the road, Yu Minghuan was delighted to discover that Pei Jinxu liked sweets. She made him different treats every day, and each time, his unpredictable affection score would go up by a point or two.
Yu Minghuan also happened to discover that Pei Jinxu suffered a sudden attack of a strange illness on the fifteenth of every month. The illness was just a little difficult to talk about.
The first time it happened, his face flushed red and he looked so pitiful and fragile. Fighting to keep himself composed, he gently urged her to leave. "I'll just endure it. Miss Yu, please go outside. I don't want to hurt you by accident."
"Immortal Lord Pei, don't worry. You're in trouble, so of course I'll help you."
Yu Minghuan moved closer, meeting his gaze as he struggled to endure the pain. Her bright eyes were kind, and she shook her head firmly.
That time, her help made the affection score jump by more than ten points.
Yu Minghuan was ecstatic. Following her progress, she grew closer to Pei Jinxu, cared for him, and tried to make him happy.
Pei Jinxu did become more and more amiable. Sometimes, a glimmer of laughter would appear in those dark, unreadable, cold eyes when he looked at her.
As they spent time together, Yu Minghuan realized Pei Jinxu could be a little strange at times and liked saying creepy things. But whenever she looked at the progress bar, she felt thrilled and touched. The task was almost finished, and it had been so easy!
Before long, Yu Minghuan saw that the reassuring progress bar was nearly full and decided to go look for the remaining conquest targets.
When the day came, Yu Minghuan happily gave Pei Jinxu a parting gift and said goodbye. "See you around, Pei Jinxu."
"Until we meet again... Miss Yu."
Under his gentle, smiling gaze, Yu Minghuan walked away without looking back.
A month later, when Yu Minghuan woke up again, she found herself trapped in that familiar yet icy embrace.
He clung to her tightly, as if he wanted to merge her completely into his flesh and blood.
The curtains billowed, their hair tangled together, and tears spilled onto the bed. Her hands were bound with the hair ribbon she had given him, and Yu Minghuan couldn't break free. She endured Pei Jinxu's feverish, crazed kisses, sticky with the taste of blood. As her consciousness blurred, she heard him sigh with satisfaction.
"Minghuan is so cute, so good, so wonderful. I love her so much."
"See? So what if I let you go? You still came back to me."
What the heck?! What happened to him being a good guy? How did I end up conquering a lovesick psycho?!
#Damn this System
#Pei Jinxu is nothing but a bastard
#Someone should've warned me that psychos are trouble!
#I shouldn't have given him that hair ribbon. Now he's gotten attached to it!
#Damn it! Nobody told me affection could hit the cap and then start going down!

Reader advisory
1. One-on-one romance, both virgins, happy ending.
2. As always, a story of redemption. It's all romance, romance, romance, with feelings turned up to the max.
3. The heroine is resilient and optimistic, a little ball of sunshine full of energy. The hero is cold and ruthless at first, and very good at pretending to be a gentle, harmless good guy. Later, he discovers love and, after the heroine leaves, fully reveals his gloomy, obsessive, lovesick side. He has a very twisted way of thinking and clings to her desperately. He believes that the more pain there is, the deeper their love grows, that pain and love have the same root. When the heroine hits him during sex, he gets excited and becomes convinced that it's proof of her profound love for him.
Message: Love can overcome anything.
