Name: After Winning Over the Black-Bellied Villain, I Realized I'd Mistaken Him for Someone Else
Author: Anonymous Celestial Body

Synopsis

[Ongoing: Crossing Over to Save Demons, but My Target Is the World-Destroying Villain. A universally disliked demon slayer wins over a beloved evil demon.]

Li Sutao transmigrated into a book.

She became the heroine's younger sister, and her mission was to save the tragic, beautiful, powerful second male lead and stop him from turning evil.

Ji Linyuan was a violent, handsome lunatic. His immense strength made the male lead, the Demon Lord, wary of him, and he was a thorn in the side of every villain in the book.

He was also part of the tortured romance between the hero and heroine, and in the end, he slaughtered everyone in the book.

Li Sutao: "?"

Whoever heard of a second male lead who was both gorgeous and insane?

To save Ji Linyuan, she made a list and worked through it one item at a time:

Heal his wounds

Help him sleep peacefully

Bring him medicine, kisses, and hugs

In her eyes, Ji Linyuan gradually became obedient, sweet, and adorable.

Until her progress bar for saving him reached 50 percent, when she saw with her own eyes in a forbidden area...

Ji Linyuan snap a demon's neck with one hand, then step on the other's chest and sneer, "Why aren't you killing me anymore?"

He suddenly turned to her, his sinister eyes bright with amusement, and approached. "You saw everything."

Li Sutao: "..."

That progress bar lied to me. How did he get even crazier?

Later, the progress bar hit 99 percent. All Li Sutao had to do was crash Ji Linyuan's wedding to complete her mission.

She kidnapped him and ran, not knowing he had already been infected with a love curse.

Li Sutao was pushed onto his bed. His eyes, dark and cold, were filled with greed and reverence.

After one night, the System finally realized something was wrong. "Host, I made a mistake. Ji Linyuan isn't the second male lead. He's the future Demon Venerable, the villain!"

Li Sutao: "!"

To salvage her unfinished mission, she did everything she could to break Ji Linyuan's heart and finally make him leave.

He never came back.

Afterward, Li Sutao found the real second male lead and pretended to marry him for the demon-slaying mission.

But then, her ex, Ji Linyuan, whom she'd thrown away in a fit of madness, returned.

He rushed forward in white, blood butterflies fluttering across his clothes, and held her tight. His eyes turned red.

Li Sutao softened and let Ji Linyuan stay. One day, she woke up in his chambers and stared thoughtfully at the intertwined red and black butterfly patterns around her ankles.

A bond-lock, a life-and-death pact.

He was so afraid she'd run away again.

Li Sutao didn't know that this wasn't the first time she'd tried to win Ji Linyuan over.

They were both trapped by the book's plot, until they met and saved each other again and again.

-

Ji Linyuan was born unruly and difficult to tame, with a deep instinct for killing and a strange, sinister temperament. He was the prophesied Demon Venerable who would destroy the world.

Yet he was fiercely loyal to the Demon Lord, followed his orders, and would even give his life for him.

He was assigned to Li Sutao, where he was to win her trust and deliver her sister to the Demon Lord.

But in the end, he was the first to fall in love, to lose himself, and to be doomed beyond redemption.

He disobeyed the Demon Lord for her and endured the torments of the Twelve Hells of the Demon Realm, only to hear that she was marrying someone else.

That night, Ji Linyuan dealt with everyone who stood in his way. Covered in blood, he finally pulled his beloved, dressed in her wedding gown, into his arms.

His fingertips moved gently, and his voice was barely above a whisper. "Please, don't send me away."

Ongoing: Crossing Over to Save Demons, but My Target Is the World-Destroying Villain

A demon slayer with a love value of 1 and off-the-charts destructive power x a cold, proud, mysterious immortal demon who delights in stealing others' love values

Lin Xiyan has two secrets.

One, she has a twin.

Two, she's a demon slayer.

By chance, she swapped identities with her twin sister, who was a singer, and discovered that her sister's beloved was actually a demon.

Now she's decided to take out the demon her sister loves.

-

The demon slayers of the Moonlit Society mostly follow the rule of saving demons before slaying them:

1. Reform evil demons and guide them toward good.

2. If method 1 fails, kill them on the spot.

Lin Xiyan, however, does things in the opposite order: slay first, save later.

Late one night, Huo Beifeng surveyed the mess in the room, leaned over, and pinned down the hand holding Lin Xiyan's sword. His expression was dark.

"Are you trying to save me?"

"Killing you would save you too." Lin Xiyan's gaze was icy as she thrust her sword toward his heart.

In the end...

They fought for a day and a night, and Lin Xiyan lost.

A few days later.

Lin Xiyan sat quietly on the sofa at Huo Beifeng's house, dressed to the nines.

"I've come to save you." She smiled at him.

Huo Beifeng gazed gloomily at the nine layers of barriers he had set up.

"How did you get in?" His voice was low.

After that, Lin Xiyan was always at Huo Beifeng's side.

He fell sick in bed, and she looked after him attentively, then accidentally poisoned him.

He nearly exposed his demonic form, and she covered for him, then left him with barely half his demonic power.

A wicked demon gave him trouble, and she stepped in to defend him, nearly sending both him and that demon to their deaths.

Huo Beifeng: "?" Why did it feel like she was still trying to assassinate him?

-

To escape his sickly body and gain eternal life, Huo Beifeng willingly became a demon. He used his handsome face and enchanting singing voice to gain fame and adoration.

Throughout his endless life, he took pleasure in stealing other people's love values and leaving them unable to love.

This time, he set his sights on the singer Lin Zhumei, whose love value was over 999.

So what if she was a demon slayer? He would make her love him.

By any means necessary, no matter the cost.

But the person he desperately tried to capture...

was Lin Xiyan.
