A Villain Who Can't Act Cute Isn't a Good Husband

I've been pretty busy lately, so updates will come whenever I have the time.

Gu Xiao transmigrates into a book. A System called No Bad Endings orders her to win over the villain Zhan Ge. The mission is complete once his affection-seeking score reaches 100.

System: [Friendly reminder] Host, keep a close eye on changes to your target's other stats. Make sure his corruption or jealousy doesn't max out and force the story into a bad ending.

Gu Xiao, supreme victim: Performing an online reenactment of dying while spitting blood

They first meet amid biting winds and a sky full of snow.

The ruthless boy is wearing little more than rags and has nothing to eat. He lies in the snow fighting a dog for food, with one shoe bitten off.

Gu Xiao silently offers him a warm bun and helps him put his shoe back on, only for the boy to treat her like a mortal threat and nearly bite her.

Later, she takes the boy in and raises him by her side, only to discover that the one she picked up is a clingy sweetheart and a jealous little thing.

He sticks close to her even when she's investigating cases, and is always sniffling, "Big sis, I'm scared."

Gradually, someone's jealousy score starts going wild along her lifeline. Unable to take it anymore, Gu Xiao finally decides to ask Zhan Ge to marry her, giving him all the reassurance he needs.

On their wedding day, Zhan Ge gets his wish. Like a moth to a flame, he kisses his light and says humbly, "Big sis, please don't think I'm dirty. From now on, let me warm your bed."

When the System announces that the mission is complete, Gu Xiao finally comes to her senses and prepares to leave quietly.

But a heart-rending voice rings out behind her, every word soaked in blood: "Big sis, please, don't leave me behind."

System: [Warning, severe warning. The villain's corruption is about to reach its maximum. Mission: Failed.]

Only Zhan Ge knows that he has hidden every vile, wretched part of himself away, keeping it all sealed tight, just so he can hold his light forever.

Don't run away, it's a happy ending. (Truer than a pearl.)

[Coming soon]

The ruler of the demon realm, Jiang Nai, takes a nap and wakes to discover that she's actually the evil villain in a xianxia novel. Her ending is to be sealed on a sacred mountain by the male lead, where passing celestial birds peck holes all over her.

At this point, the male lead is still the sickly crown prince of the human kingdom of Ning. He's only expected to live to eighteen, and to survive, he must marry a woman whose birth details are compatible with his on an auspicious day.

Should she take this opportunity to kill him and eliminate future trouble?

No. Jiang Nai transforms herself into a fake crown princess.

If one male lead falls, another will come along to save the Heavenly Dao.

She'll make the male lead fall into the abyss forever and join forces with him, a villain, to fight the Heavenly Dao.

[A ruthless demon queen x a crown prince who seems virtuous but is even more ruthless than the demon queen]

After the crown prince recovers, rumors that the crown princess is a demon spread panic everywhere.

As a result, Jiang Nai is sentenced to death and paraded through the streets in a prison cart.

That day, amid the crowd's curses, Ning Songheng, disheveled and filthy, with even his shoes lost, uses his mortal body to stand beneath the gleaming executioner's blade.

To make an act convincing, you have to go all the way. Jiang Nai shoves him aside, and as their bodies are parted, her eyes brim with love. Even in death, they remain open.

From then on, Ning Songheng follows the same long road of cultivation as in the original story. But he wields his sword not for the world, only for a demon queen named Jiang Nai.
