After the Divorce, I Had a Level-Ten Crematorium

Coming soon: The Black Lotus Takes Up the Villain Role

[Preview]

After the poor, scheming student he'd supported since childhood pushed him off a cruise ship, Jiang Huaisheng was bound to a "Villain Redemption System."

The System said this world was a cruel romance novel.

The scheming pretty boy who pushed him overboard and nearly killed him was the protagonist shou. His fiance, who had been his childhood friend but cheated on him with the pretty boy, was the protagonist gong.

A grudge over attempted murder, and a grudge over stealing his fiance. No wonder the System wanted him to be the villain!

"So my job is to trip them up and keep them from getting together?"

"No. Your job is to seduce the biggest villain in the book: the protagonist gong's older brother, who seems gentle and kind on the surface but secretly keeps sabotaging the protagonist's group."

Jiang Huaisheng: "..." There's always someone worse. Even villains have villains above them!

Fine. We're both villains stuck in the same boat. I can make do!

Later... In a secret room, the man blindfolded him, bound his hands, and pinned him beneath himself, their faces pressed close. "A-Sheng, why do you keep trying to run?"

The fake smile on Jiang Huaisheng's face finally vanished. "Go to hell!! System, help me!!"

[Content warnings]

1. The scheming shou has a one-sided crush on the scum gong's yandere older brother.

2. The older brother is genuinely cruel and yandere at first, with a mindset far from normal. He'll be changed for the better later.

[Story blurb]

Su Zhi loved Jiang Mian his whole life. He ended up with nothing after their divorce, and finally died after being hit by a car while saving Jiang Mian's first love.

Reborn, he saw things clearly and let go.

In his previous life, he had been too selfish, forcing Jiang Mian to marry him and causing him to miss the first love he'd always longed for.

In this new life, he didn't want to stand in the way of their relationship anymore. He would be the one to bring them together and help their love come true!

Jiang Mian had a secret crush on his good friend Su Zhi, but never dared to confess. And for some reason, Su Zhi kept trying to set him up with someone else.

One day, Su Zhi rescued a young man being chased by debt collectors in a dark alley and said this was his future wife.

After that, the rescued young man started looking at Su Zhi in a rather peculiar way...

Until one day, Jiang Mian couldn't stand it anymore. He pinned Su Zhi in a corner and said, "The person I love is you. It's always been you."

"And stop putting your arm around him. He likes you. Can't you tell?"

Su Zhi: "???" What on earth happened to this world after I was reborn!

[Content warnings]

1. The shou becomes a bit of a heartthrob after being reborn!

2. Both the gong and shou are reborn! The shou is reborn first, the gong later! The gong will not change!

3. The first love is not a scheming pretty boy. He's a great person, and after being reborn, he'll fall for the shou!

4. This may not be a full-on groveling-for-forgiveness story, but there will be a little of that. The author isn't very good at writing it and can't bear to put any of the leads through too much suffering. Sorry!

5. I can't think of any other warnings. If anything comes up, I'll add it in the comments!
