[Villain vs. Child of Heaven, Playing the Fool While Hiding One's Strength x Secret Identity x Love and Hate]

Wan Lingxiao was the most difficult male lead the Salvation System had ever tried to win over.

He was extraordinarily gifted, yet the collapse of the Heavenly Dao led him to fall into demonic ways with a single thought.

He killed men, murdered emperors, and slaughtered gods.

All under heaven suffered because of him, and the world itself faced the danger of collapse.

To repair the world's timeline, the Salvation System sent out several experienced candidates to win him over. Every one of them ended up dead or injured.

They returned in failure.

With only one last chance left, the System received a newcomer.

The young girl was delicate and charming, yet utterly defenseless. She stammered,

"I, my name is Mu Jin."

The System: ???

Wait, is Heaven joking? How could this possibly work?

But to everyone's surprise, the girl succeeded.

She spoke sweetly and spun lie after lie. Facing Wan Lingxiao's murderous aura, she endured every grievance without complaint, thoughtfully making her way into his heart and breaking through his defenses.

But on the eve of completing the mission-

The Salvation System suddenly heard a thunderous alarm from the Main System.

"Stop! The newcomer, Mu Jin, is an impostor!"

-

The System later learned two things:

First, Mu Jin, who had taken part in the mission, had not been sent by the Main System at all. She had infiltrated the operation.

Second, she actually came from the most brutal villain clan in the original book. She was one of the villains, and she had come to seize Wan Lingxiao's fortune!

The System: ?????

Pupils trembling.jpg.

"What do we do?"

The Main System: "She came prepared."

"But we don't have enough energy in reserve to send another candidate. The candidate must be chosen from the original world."

"So?"

"Transfer the System's authority to Wan Lingxiao."

"Let him turn around and win her over instead."

That night, the Child of Heaven, Wan Lingxiao, stood with blood staining his dark hair, his gaze heavy with restraint.

The girl still looked delicate and charming, her snowy face flushed, the jade bangle he had given her around her pale wrist, and the silver chain he had locked around her ankle.

Only, when she raised her eyes, they were bloodred.

Black tentacles flowed from beneath her skirt.

"A-Xiao..." The girl smiled. "So you found out."

Reader's Guide:

1. Neither lead is a good person early on. Mu Jin x Wan Lingxiao: a sweet-faced, wicked-hearted con artist x a cold, suspicious, genius young lord.

2. There is a romance System. The story begins with the female lead trying to win over the male lead, and her secret identity is revealed midway through. Later, the male lead tries to win her over.

3. This story does not suggest that doing evil is right. The leads save each other.

4. There will be many villains of all genders, involved in both romantic and professional rivalries.

5. They truly love and hate each other [highlighted]. They will fight and try to kill each other. The protagonists will not have an easy road to the end. If this bothers you, or if you are extremely possessive about any aspect of the story, please do not read.

6. This trope has been around since 2021. The cover character design is not exclusive. From Muhange - Wuhua Rourou.

A recommendation for my ongoing villainess novel, "Prisoner [Western Fantasy]"

Blurb:

No one could imagine that Lucian, the noble young gentleman famed for his refinement and intelligence,

becomes the witch Hila's prisoner every night.

[This is a story about a noble gentleman threatened by a witch, who must become her prisoner every night.]

"The One Who Saves You Is Me, the Villainess" Villainess x Untouchable Beauty

Chu Hanche, the immortal sect's beloved prodigy, has an accident and unexpectedly obtains a System. Only then does he learn that he is the tragic, beautiful, and powerful second male lead in a book.

The System's mission for him is to protect the protagonist and win over the great villain.

Chu Hanche scoffs at the idea.

He has spent his life upholding the righteous path and loathing scoundrels, following his elders and making the protection of the Heavenly Dao his duty.

As for an evil destroyer of the Dao,

he has no intention of getting entangled with them. He only wants to strike them down.

Yet when Chu Hanche sees the villain's name, the sword in his hand suddenly stills-

In the System, the villain is named "Zhou Fuling."

That is also the name of Chu Hanche's junior sister.

His junior sister was rescued by Chu Hanche and brought back to the sect five years ago. She is kind and innocent, and the person closest to him.

Chu Hanche will never forget how, when he was at his lowest, his junior sister carried him through the snow, tears streaming down her face, gently calling him "Senior Brother" again and again. She told him not to give up and gave him the will to live again.

But now, the System's label for Zhou Fuling is-

Born evil, honeyed words hiding a venomous heart, never to be trusted.

The night he learned the truth, Chu Hanche sat in the snow until dawn, unable even to hold his sword steady.

A Short Scene

When Chu Hanche quietly returned to the courtyard, Zhou Fuling saw how haggard he looked and took his hand, speaking softly:

"Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

Chu Hanche pressed his lips together and silently looked away, trying to hide the expression in his eyes.

Silence fell.

Just as he closed his eyes and finally prepared to leave, a cold hand coiled around his wrist like a snake.

His once gentle and sweet junior sister stared at him with dark, shadowy eyes, her gaze icy.

"Senior Brother, why don't you tell me what's wrong?"

Delight, deceit, and madness welled up in her eyes.

Her black tentacles suddenly pinned the hands of the startled young man as he raised his sword.

The water shimmered in his usually cold eyes, and he let out a stifled groan of pain.

So delicate. I like him so much, Zhou Fuling thought.

She giggled. "Now that you've found out, don't even think about leaving."

A beautiful and powerful yet tragic untouchable beauty x a great villain who loves bullying him and lies sweetly

They save each other.

Theme: Good and evil are repaid in kind, and love can reform the wicked.
