After I Was Doomed to Die, I Became a Black Lotus

[Contains a second male lead who ends up on top, and the male lead dies so thoroughly there's nothing left of him.] [The blurb for the yandere-sweet romance next door, Sugar Glider x Yandere: The Clingy One Conquers the Great Demon King, is below ↓↓↓] A sudden upheaval left Xie Heng with amnesia. With no idea where she came from or where she was going, the young girl had no family and wandered aimlessly every day, until the peerless Lord Lingshan took her in. From then on, he was all she could see. She loved him for a hundred years. She helped him bathe the Demon Capital in blood, risked everything for him, and was left covered in wounds. She traveled a thousand miles to find medicine for him, venturing alone into deadly danger. She cared about every one of his friends and subordinates. She remembered everyone's birthday and would cook for them herself. When the weather turned cold, she reminded everyone to dress warmly. She also protected each and every one of them, making sure they wouldn't get hurt. A homeless girl gave everyone her all, trying with everything she had to become part of Lord Lingshan's life. Until one day, Lord Lingshan's junior sister arrived. The junior sister was lively and adorable, and would hide behind him, acting spoiled and throwing tantrums. Almost everyone said, "She's just a little girl. Don't take it personally," or, "She's just spoiled and a little mischievous," or, "She's young and doesn't know any better." Little by little, Xie Heng became an outsider. When she identified the junior sister, they accused Xie Heng of being jealous. When she was framed, they thought her unknown origins made her suspicious. Heartbroken and disillusioned, Xie Heng decided to leave, only to see them fall into a trap and become surrounded. It was the last time she drew her sword for them. Blood soaked the street. Her sword broke, and so did her heart. - Xie Heng's grievous wounds would never heal. She was destined to live less than a month. As she lay dying in bed, the people who had once mocked her came every day to make her smile. Those who had once misunderstood her desperately searched for spiritual medicine. Those who had once opposed her stayed up all night preparing her medicine. Even Lord Lingshan showed her a tenderness she had never known before. Friendship, love, a place by his side. Everything she had once longed for was now hers. They thought this would make up for what they had done. But no one expected that on the day Xie Heng rallied before death, she would put on a white dress, walk barefoot to the astrology platform, and tear out her own heart as they watched in horrified disbelief. Only by cutting out her heart and severing her feelings could she forge a body of ice. From then on, wherever she went, thousands bowed before her. Anyone who dared challenge her became the target of her sword, a soul lost beneath her blade. "Submit or die." #The more tender she once was, the more ruthless she became# #The world would never again see Xie Heng carrying a lantern and gently reminding everyone to dress warmly# #Only the little princess of the Northern Divine Clan remained# #And the most dearly missed tenderness in the hearts of gods and demons alike# [Warnings and reading guide, please read] 1. In the early story, the heroine is a gentle, cherished love-interest type: tender, sensible, devoted, and utterly faithful. In the middle and later parts, she turns cold and ruthless. Everyone except the heroine, including the supporting cast, will have to pay for what they did. 2. At first, the heroine pursues the man and gradually grows and changes. The male lead is a scumbag, and later he will suffer a devastating reckoning. He will have a very bad time. There are friendship and family storylines, and many supporting characters. The second male lead ends up on top and the male lead gets his comeuppance, but the reason he's called the male lead is that he has more scenes than the second male lead! 3. If this story makes you angry, take a break before continuing. Everyone's happiness matters most. Please be gentle with the author and don't start fights in the comments. 4. This is not a power fantasy! This is not a sweet romance! It is not a transmigration-into-a-book story, not a rebirth story, and not a lighthearted sweet romance. [Blurb written on 2020.10.3] -------- New story next door: Sugar Glider: The Clingy One Conquers the Great Demon King ~ After transmigrating, Zhizhi, a little sugar glider spirit, became a pitiful child whose parents didn't love her. As a sugar glider, Zhizhi couldn't stand being alone. She was miserable every day, and the lack of friends left her increasingly depressed. Until one day, she stumbled across a dark, yandere romance novel and realized she was the protagonist. According to the story, one day she would meet a crazy, yandere villain and be locked away against her will, where he would force his love on her. He would be cruel and possessive, using every means at his disposal to keep her by his side. He would go mad with jealousy at any moment and lay waste to the world. Everyone else who learned the plot: That's terrifying! Zhizhi: Ah, a clingy older brother type? I'm in! Ignoring everyone's attempts to talk her out of it, Zhizhi patiently read the book again. She discovered that her future partner was exactly her type. Overwhelmingly possessive: clingy and devoted. Cruel methods: powerful and domineering. Won't let her have anyone else in her heart: strong sense of ownership. Zhizhi, biting the corner of her quilt: Aww, this is wonderful! He's the perfect cultivation partner of my dreams. So Zhizhi diligently followed the plot of the original book, eagerly waiting every day for the moment her older brother would come find her. Later, the demons attacked the mountain sect. Corpses littered the ground, and the young Demon King strode away over piles of bones, forgetting to take her with him. Zhizhi: ??? That isn't how it's supposed to go! She hurried after him. The girl resolutely ventured into the darkness and, at the edge of an unforgiving hell, took the bloodstained hand of the young man. She pleaded, "Could you take me with you, too?" The boy: "?" "I can tie myself up." "??" "Big brother can do whatever he wants with me." "???" After joining him, Zhizhi worked hard every day to be cute, affectionate, considerate, and obedient. And clingy. She had to go with him whenever he went out, hold his hand when they walked, be fed at mealtimes, and be held while she slept. If she got hurt, he had to comfort her. Before long, she practically wanted to grow onto him. You couldn't pry her off. The young man had fought through bloodshed all his life, longing for what he could never have, only to die with every bone broken and his eyes open. Reborn into another life, he had decided to have nothing more to do with her. When he saw her trying to cling to him, he pointed his sword at her and sneered, "Are you looking to die?" To his surprise, she suddenly bent down, slipped under his sword, and threw her arms around his waist. Little sugar glider: Big brother has such a slim waist (￣▽￣)~* Young man: ... Something doesn't seem quite right. #They try to follow the tragic romance script again, but one of them thinks it's a love story the whole time# #And somehow it turns into a comedy# #The irritable yandere never gets angry again# Theme: Be independent and strong, and carve out a new world for yourself.
