Sickly, snarky role x calculating white lotus
Wen Yu transmigrates into a book as a sickly villainous master with the same name as himself. He has only two goals in life.
One: provoke and frame the protagonist.
Two: be eliminated by the protagonist as the great villain.
Wen Yu: "..."
He's a fan of the protagonist, for heaven's sake! How could he bring himself to frame him?
So, looking at his protagonist disciple, resplendent and full of righteous spirit, he forcibly turned the original power fantasy into a cultivation conquest story.
But the day after the protagonist confessed to him and they happily married, time rewound to the first day he transmigrated into the book.
After furiously shaking the System, he finally learned the truth: if the protagonist didn't follow the original plot, everything would start over at a specific time.
Wen Yu: "..."
So now we're playing the time-loop version.
He had planned to calmly follow the plot, but when they met again, he still couldn't help wiping the icy water off the protagonist's face.
They shared another stretch of bliss, confessing their feelings to each other.
As expected, Wen Yu returned to the first day again.
This time, the System came forward to warn him:
If he failed to complete the plot a third time, it would kick him out of this world, and he would be responsible for his own life or death.
Wen Yu sighed. "...Fine."
After spending two lifetimes intimately with his favorite character, he had nothing to complain about. It was time to calmly play the evil great villain.

Liu Zhu watched coldly as his fellow disciple poured a basin of ice water over his head. He didn't move, still kneeling.
Head bowed, he paid no mind to the other's taunts and curses. He simply counted down silently, waiting for that person to hurry over and help him up.
The familiar sound of coughing rang out. Liu Zhu raised his head, the words he'd prepared still unspoken, but the other person walked right past him without sparing him a glance.
Then he heard Wen Yu laughing and chatting with someone else.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Liu Zhu turned his head inch by inch, watching the familiar figure he'd seen countless times. Shadows gathered in his eyes as he murmured:
"Why didn't Master choose me this time...?"
Meanwhile, Wen Yu was staring at the status window in front of him, furious and helpless.
He had barely lit up the progress bar for Mission One, and the finish line was still a hundred thousand li away. He couldn't even begin to imagine how many more awful things he'd have to do.
As for Mission Two...
Hasn't the plot only just begun? Why is a major event that's supposed to happen near the end flashing at me already? And why has my death countdown started?!
P.S.:
1. The original body's owner died in an accident. Wen Yu transmigrated into the book in his own body.
2. The main story starts on the third loop, with events from the first two loops woven in.
3. This is my own kind of bittersweet happy-ending story, featuring fake deaths, melodramatic misunderstandings, helplessness, obsessive corruption, and plenty more. But! The sweet parts will definitely be sweet! I swear! (Pats chest)
