Lu Yao, the heroine of an old-school xianxia Mary Sue novel, awakens, and a System descends to tell her that the novel's wicked supporting actress has awakened and changed for the better. She's caught the attention of all the male characters and is stealing Lu Yao's heroine aura.
For the protagonist of a Mary Sue novel, losing love is the same as losing her life.
In short: if she doesn't fall in love, she'll die!
To save the world of The Abyss and protect the heroine's life, the System points to a dying man by the riverbank. "Host, hurry and save him. Make the lovesick villain fall for you!"
With a splash, Lu Yao kicks the half-dead man back into the river and even tosses in a watermelon-sized rock for good measure.
Lu Yao: "System, haven't you heard this saying? Don't pick up strange men you meet on the road. At best, you'll lose everything. At worst, your whole family will die."
System: "..."
"Why is losing everything worse than your whole family dying?"
Lu Yao: "Because I don't have any family, but I do have a little money."
*
The System carefully selects several potential love interests for Lu Yao:
Male Contestant No. 1: Her aloof master, who loves money and women and only wants to use his position to take advantage of her.
Male Contestant No. 2: The beautiful but foolish and unbearably demanding little prince of the demon clan.
Male Contestant No. 3: The considerate, powerful young master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, who turns out to be her long-lost biological brother.
Male Contestant No. 4: ...
After making the rounds, Lu Yao is surprised to find that the lovesick villain seems the most appealing of them all!
He's handsome, they're not related by blood, and apart from occasionally wanting to stab her, he's usually pretty nice.
Then, looking back, Lu Yao is startled. "Wait, I haven't even done anything yet. How did your affection level already reach 100 percent?"
The lovesick villain smiles confidently. "Because I'm good at falling for people for no reason."
[Male Lead's Perspective]
Mu Qingchen knows he's no good person.
He's the last remnant of a demon dragon clan, born in the Demon Realm, and knows nothing of human feelings or morality. If he likes something, he takes it. If he can't have it, he destroys it.
Until he trapped the woman he loved by his side, going mad with the desire to merge her into his very bones and blood.
He'd done many things to hurt her, and thought she would fear and resent him.
But the tiny girl carefully cupped his face in her hands and said, "Mu Qingchen, I love you so much."
"Mu Qingchen, let's get married."
I still owe you a wedding... five hundred years overdue.
1. The male lead is a lovesick, possessive type. His being a little cruel to the heroine early on is normal.
The heroine isn't a traditional Mary Sue saint, but she isn't evil either. In the middle, he chases her through a fire of suffering; later, she does the same to him. The story is all about equality between men and women.
2. Original title: Don't Panic! The Lovesick Villain Can Win Himself Over.
3. Updates six days a week, with weekends off.
Theme: Misleading storytelling can cause a lot of trouble
Congratulations, I have written sixty chapters. It should be finished in another week. I am very satisfied.
Chapter 10 is serialized this month, come on, come on, work hard! The boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains
I suddenly discovered that the archived manuscript has been updated. I have been busy looking for a job for the past two days and have not typed. It turned out that I wanted to find some time to finish another book, but I had to open both books.
