The Bright Moon Sees Me as I Am

Happy ending, the male lead suffers. Shen Mi had planned to leave as soon as she finished her mission. She and her mission target had brought order to a turbulent realm and pacified the world. In the end, for the sake of securing the throne, her mission target cut all ties with her until death. Meanwhile, the Villain they both hated died a gruesome death right before her eyes. She remembered how, just before dying, the Villain had softened his expression for once and said, “I look awful like this. Don’t look.” The next moment, he was burned to ashes amid a sky screen of flames. Shen Mi hesitated briefly, but completing the mission came first. Who knew that when she opened her eyes again, she’d be back in her youth? [New mission: Save him.] With her new mission, Shen Mi was no longer bound by the plot. Ignoring the reverse pursuit of her previous-life mission target, she took in the pitiful little Villain who had suffered endless bullying and doted on him with abandon. She kept at it until the young Yue Tang grew into a dazzling young man, no longer as cruel as he had been in his previous life. His eyes were clear and pure, and he was gentle and kind. Once she saw him finally on the right path, Shen Mi completed her mission, faked her death, and happily went on vacation! Yue Tang had once forced himself into the mold of an innocent boy. If winning her affection meant pretending for the rest of his life, he didn’t mind. But Shen Mi had hated him in both lives. And after he confessed his feelings, she even died to escape him. Only then did Yue Tang understand that the grand dream of this life had been nothing but a farcical prank played on him. He laughed through his tears. “Death? Fine. It’s fine to die. It’s not as if I can’t live without her, even after two lifetimes.” So why should he keep pretending? He spent five years building a palace among the parasol trees, then locked his beloved away in a golden cage. When they met again, the golden palace was cold and forbidding. He mocked her softly. “Are you leaving again this time?” Yet as he gazed at her cold eyes, his own gradually reddened. “You raised me. You don’t want me anymore?” [Reading Guide] 1. Happy ending. 2.

In every life, he was a madman who brought destruction to the world and was hated by everyone: in other words, the [Villain] according to the System. Yes, he knew the System existed. He knew he had been romanced countless times, enduring endless cycles of reincarnation and memory rewrites. He was only waiting for one person. Waiting for her, so he could kill her. When he had been at his lowest, that person had once shielded him, handed him a bowl of water, and even held his hand and kissed his cheek tenderly. The last time they met, blood stained the sky screen. She told him to wait for her, then died in his arms. He had promised. He waited through a hundred lifetimes, from birth to death. Only later did he realize that it was called “faking one’s death.” - The System wanted her to reform the Villain. At first, the Villain was gentle and beautiful, except he kind of liked killing people. To get home, Lan Shan enthusiastically did her job, presenting him with a huge bouquet and a big smile every day. Mu Xueren clutched his sword and backed away, coughing, as if facing a deadly enemy. She brought him flowers for several days, and he spent just as many days in bed. In the middle of the reform process, the Villain was snarky with her every day, as if she were some heartless bastard, and he kept trying to kill her. After she was woken by sword energy in the middle of the night yet again, Lan Shan could take no more. She pulled him onto the bed and gave his waist a squeeze. Mu Xueren trembled, his eyes reddening with fury, and stormed out. On the 101st day of the reform process, Lan Shan entered a secret realm and traveled to the first life of Mu Xueren’s cycle of reincarnations. After faking her death and returning to the current timeline, she found Mu Xueren waiting outside the secret realm, his white hair flying. Beneath her feet was a cage he had set up, beyond the System’s rules. Mu Xueren held a bloodstained sword and laughed maniacally, waiting to see her terrified expression. Curious, Lan Shan poked the cage’s soft barrier and asked, “Does this barrier trap both of us? Neither of us can get out?” Mu Xueren sneered. “That’s right.” Lan Shan nodded with satisfaction. “Nice.” She immediately rose on her toes and kissed him. Mu Xueren’s face remained expressionless. She kissed him again. Lan Shan smiled as she watched the tips of his ears grow redder, until even his cheeks were flushed. - “You deceived me, lied to me, and toyed with me using your death. Through hundreds of cycles, all I could remember was that I had to kill you.” “Then, at last, I waited for you to return, but you didn’t remember me.” “When you returned to my first life in the past, I began to feel afraid.” “In my first life, you were going to die. I wasn’t afraid of the hundreds of cycles after you ‘faked your death.’ I was afraid that when you died, you would be cold.” 1. The male lead is sweet like brown sugar milk tea, innocent and hopelessly romantic, and the class monitor of the Male Virtue Club. A familiar male-lead-suffering setup. 2. The heroine is a bold, straightforward flirt. "The Stand-In Won Over the White Moonlight and Ran Away" Xuan Heng knew that her purpose in life was to be the senior sister. Because she looked like the late senior sister, her master brought her from the mortal world to the immortal mountain. Her senior brother resented her for taking the dead senior sister’s place, while her senior sister hated her shamelessness. To secure a place for herself, Xuan Heng could only use her own heart’s blood every day to nourish the body of the master’s beloved, the senior sister. Until one day, Xuan Heng dreamed of her future in the prophetic mirror. After the senior sister woke, everyone would pity Xuan Heng for destroying her spiritual foundation all those years. The senior sister would resent her for monopolizing their master and stealing her family and friends. After turning evil, Xuan Heng would be pulverized to ashes. Meanwhile, the senior sister would have an illustrious cultivation path, countless opportunities, and everyone would dote on her. When Xuan Heng woke, she learned that the senior sister was about to awaken. The ice coffin slowly opened. Frost clung to the beautiful woman’s long lashes. She had dark eyes, vermilion lips, and a cinnabar teardrop mole. The snowy light filling the room could not match her icy beauty. Only then did Xuan Heng understand what it meant to be the most beautiful woman in the immortal realm. Looking at Shang Zhenyu, whose eyes were still clouded with confusion, Xuan Heng suddenly thought that Shang Zhenyu’s life belonged to her, and so should Shang Zhenyu herself. Why should they fight over a few pieces of trash? Her senior brother scolded Shang Zhenyu for knocking over Xuan Heng’s medicine bowl. Xuan Heng clutched her chest and furrowed her brow. “Senior sister, did you burn your hand? It’s all my senior brother’s fault for deliberately making things difficult for you!” Her master was unhappy that Shang Zhenyu had faced the enemy alone and taken credit from Xuan Heng. Xuan Heng’s eyes filled with tears. “Senior sister, I’ll never believe anyone who gossips about you. You only did it to protect me! You’re the best to me!” Shang Zhenyu: “…” When Shang Zhenyu was surrounded by enemies on all sides, his former friends and beloved master turned their swords against him. Only Xuan Heng stood in front of him, raising her sword with her slender, frail hand. “Senior sister, do you see now? I’m the only one who truly cares about you.” Shang Zhenyu remembered that only Xuan Heng had ever been good to him. When Shang Zhenyu awakened after his tribulation and reclaimed his place at the summit, countless people bowed before him, and all living beings became his followers. All he could remember was that only Xuan Heng had ever been good to him. Xuan Heng: Who are you? Where’s my senior sister?! All I wanted was a sister who’d help me tear those trashy people apart, QAQ.
