At the summit of Tianshan, the demonic cultivator Yu Can was cornered by three thousand righteous cultivators at the edge of a sheer cliff.
"Immortal Lord, take this demoness's heart blood and Miss Shang will come back to life!" someone shouted from the crowd.
Yu Can paid no attention. She only looked at the Immortal Lord they were talking about: Lou Shuyu, her mission target and the yandere villain of this world.
He raised his sword and, just as she expected, pointed it at her heart.
She couldn't help but sigh.
Ever since she was little, she'd been honest and slow-witted, bad at socializing, and she'd never been in love. She had no idea how to win anyone over. After being forced to bind herself to the dating System, all she could do was rely on her sincere heart and try every way she could to treat her targets well.
But in the end, it had all been in vain. She couldn't even remember how many times she'd failed.
"System, I give up on the mission. Take me out of this world."
As she spoke, she seemed to catch sight of Lou Shuyu's usually perfect false smile shattering. His expression twisted into something she'd never seen before.
But none of that mattered to her anymore.
Yu Can turned and leaped from the cliff.
-
She hadn't expected to wake up again.
Giving up on a mission meant consenting to be erased, but the System made an exception for her and let her live another life without a mission.
After spending so many years tangled up with Lou Shuyu, Yu Can finally experienced the freedom of the cultivation world once she left him.
-
The person Lou Shuyu hated most in this life was Yu Can, who haunted him like a ghost.
He knew she had taken on one identity after another, scheming to stay by his side, all just to win him over and toy with his heart.
Because from beginning to end, he could hear her speaking to the System inside her mind.
At first, he killed her without hesitation.
Later, he changed his mind. He wanted to win her over, claim her heart, and then trample it underfoot.
But he never imagined that in the end he would be the one holding out his own heart, begging her to trample it.
He leaned against her knees and murmured, utterly lovesick, "As long as you want to play, I'll let you do whatever you want, okay...? Can can, how do you want to play?"
[Sweet-faced, scheming yandere mad-dog male lead x honest, meek, pitiful female lead]
[Content warnings]
1. The story opens with a cliff jump. At its core, this is a groveling-to-win-her-back story, full of melodrama and angst.
2. The male lead is pure in both body and heart. There are secrets behind his white moonlight, and the ending is happy. The male lead will not be changed.
3. The male lead is a genuine villain. He kills and commits arson, and his values are twisted. In another story, he would unquestionably be the big bad. Even the most tragic past cannot change the fact that he'll do whatever it takes and commit every kind of evil to achieve his goals. If that's not your thing, proceed with caution.
4. After the heroine is revived, she may fall in love with a supporting male character, and the male lead may steal her away by force. This will be decided after the story begins. The author's tastes are twisted, so proceed with caution.
