Does the Sickly One Have to Save the World Too?

Mystery / detective story / road trip / young couple / strong male lead, even stronger female lead

A stubborn, resilient female lead like a gladiolus x a gentle, pure-hearted male lead like a magnolia

The sickly Shu Miaozhang transmigrated into a world overrun by monsters.

The System said she had to defeat the final villain, who would destroy the world, within a year.

Only after completing the mission could she return to the modern world and regain her health.

Shu Miaozhang was stunned. ...Me?

With no other choice, she began the arduous task of conquering Yan Chunshan, the male lead of this world, to exchange his affection points for combat power and eventually take down the villain in one blow.

So:

He read, and she served him tea and water.

He practiced martial arts, and she handed him a towel to wipe away his sweat.

He slept, and she fanned him and chased away the bugs.

Even after she tried everything she could, his affection level didn't budge.

Shu Miaozhang: !! What kind of stubborn bastard is impervious to every trick in the book?

Until she helped him solve a mysterious case.

The boy's cheeks flushed, and he didn't dare look her in the eye. "Miss Shu, may we travel together?"

Shu Miaozhang: ? You should've said you liked strong women!

*

Yan Chunshan had lived a miserable life. His parents were killed by a snake demon, and he himself was told he wouldn't live to see twenty.

After joining his sect, all he thought about and did was seek justice for the suffering people of the world.

Yet on the very first day after leaving his sect, he encountered a young woman being chased by a monster.

He resolutely stepped in to help, only to be sent flying a full two li with one slap.

When he opened his eyes again, the young woman was holding a bowl of medicine. "You're awake!"

And in his ear, a strange voice said: [Conquer her, and you can break your short-lived fate and embark on the path to immortality.]

Yan Chunshan had already decided that he would never marry or have children. If he had to drag an innocent woman into a romance just to stay alive, how would that make him any different from a shameless scoundrel?

So:

She went out of her way to please him, and he paid no attention.

She was gentle and considerate, and he didn't waver.

She persistently tried to win him over, and he remained unmoved.

He thought he would part ways with her once his injuries healed, but why did his heart ache so?

Mini-scene:

Yan Chunshan: Do you really like me, or do you just want combat power?

Shu Miaozhang: Both.

Reborn / amnesia / romantic rivalry / forced marriage / a powerful man who won't back down

A kindhearted man turned dark x a mad nobleman

Red candles burned high, and the scent of flowers filled the air.

It was the wedding night of Xu Luozhu and Wang Zhizhuo.

As a hereditary servant, Xu Luozhu wouldn't have dared to dream of marrying the legitimate eldest son of the Marquis's household, even if she had a hundred times the courage.

Yet Wang Zhizhuo chose her.

For her, he studied hard and pursued a prestigious career.

For her, he turned down noble ladies and remained unmarried well past the usual age.

For her, he bore a terrible reputation and moved out of the family estate.

At that moment, she gazed dreamily at Wang Zhizhuo's smiling eyes, her cheeks burning.

She was probably the luckiest person in the whole world.

The next instant, a short blade pierced her heart.

Wang Zhizhuo still smiled tenderly as he leaned close to her ear:

After years of planning and painstaking effort, I have finally found the perfect sacrifice.

*

When Xu Luozhu opened her eyes again, she had lost her memories of her previous life and returned to the age of fifteen.

News suddenly spread through the household that the eldest young master had fallen gravely ill and was on the brink of death.

The shaman said a girl born on the same year, month, day, and hour as him had to be found. Only a dose of her heart's blood could give him a chance to live.

That girl was Xu Luozhu.

A bowl of blood earned her five hundred taels of silver and a chance to leave her servant status behind.

She left the marquis's estate with her mother and opened a small restaurant. Business was neither good nor bad, and the days flowed by like water.

Her mother said she was getting older and should find someone who would care for her.

She thought so too. Meeting, marrying, and having children all happened as naturally as could be.

On a bright spring day, she went on an outing with her husband, surrounded by lush green grass.

Someone tapped her on the shoulder from behind. "Luozhu, long time no see."

*

Xu Luozhu hated Wang Zhizhuo with all her heart.

He killed her mother, husband, and child, and still had the nerve to want to spend their lives together.

During the days and nights he kept her imprisoned in a separate residence, he loved to lick and kiss the scar over her heart.

Xu Luozhu had only one thing on her mind:

Kill him.
