I'm Recruiting Suitors in a Torture Novel

My embarrassing old work. Don't read it (covers face).

[Blurb]

Ning Xi unexpectedly discovers that she's the heroine of a melodramatic novel, destined to be deceived by a scumbag, suffer physical and emotional abuse, and live a life worse than death.

Her darling junior sister, doted on by everyone, is actually a woman who transmigrated into a book with a System. She flirts with countless men and is always looking for a chance to trample Ning Xi underfoot.

Once Ning Xi comes to her senses, she faces the "tender and caring" scumbag and the "pitiful and innocent" junior sister, and promptly... throws up.

Scumbag and wicked woman, please lock yourselves together forever :)

After Ning Xi emerged from seclusion, everyone said she seemed like a different person.

The woman who had always been quiet and plain revealed her stunning, dazzling true beauty. Once a good-for-nothing who had spent eighteen years painstakingly cultivating just to barely form a golden core, she now reached the top of the trial platform with a single sword strike, stunning the entire sect.

Those who had despised and looked down on her all changed their tune. Invitations from every sect poured in, along with marriage proposals and betrothal gifts...

Ning Xi was rather troubled by all the romantic attention. Faced with so many suitors, she could only tell them the truth: "Actually, well, I'm kind of afraid of men..."

The demon king's palace was terribly quiet.

Ye Xiao sat alone on the throne, lips pressed into a thin line as his cold eyes lingered on a portrait of a woman in red. He stared at it again and again.

At first, he thought, "I'll turn her into a puppet and keep her by my side forever."

Later, looking at the woman's docile, obedient face and vacant eyes, he decided it wasn't any fun.

"Come here and bite me."

Ning Xi: "..."

I can't keep this act up anymore ==+
