The Real Villain Transmigrates Into a Book and Turns the Tables on a Livestream

My upcoming fantasy romance, Lord of the Underworld Yingzhao, is next door. Blurb below~

After her coup fails, the female demon lord Ji Shuyao ends up transmigrating into the body of a lovesick rich-family side character with a miserable fate.

In the book, the original character is the stereotypical lovesick fool, willing to live and die for the male lead. She turns down a trillion-yuan inheritance just to do something stupid, and in the end outsiders take the family fortune while the male and female leads join forces to kill her. She dies a sudden, violent death.

As soon as Ji Shuyao arrives, she's told she has to livestream and earn readers' approval, or she'll die.

Ji Shuyao: Fine. Let the villains start competing to outdo each other!

Faced with the male and female leads' fake smiles and provocation, and bizarre relatives trying to guilt-trip her with moral arguments,

Ji Shuyao sneers. "You're all trash."

She shuts the door and lets the dogs out. Watch me wipe out this beginner's village.

After Ji Shuyao teaches them a lesson, everyone suddenly seems to change their ways!

The original heroine, Jiang Qingxue, comes to her in tears. "I'm not good enough for him. You and Bai Jingxuan are the real couple. I'll step aside."

Ji Shuyao: "Don't. Trash needs to be sorted properly!"

The original male lead, Bai Jingxuan, comes to plead with her. "I think you're the one I really love!"

Ji Shuyao: "You're being modest. Which do you not love, the ocean or the forest?"

Lian Yicheng, who stole her family's fortune in the original story, leers at her. "I think we could, you know, get together and make it a win-win."

Ji Shuyao's fists clench. "Good one. Don't say that again next time. Here's a reward: a hundred punches with my sandbag fists."

Ji Shuyao sheds her public image as a lovesick fool, reclaims her family's fortune, crushes scumbags, and rises to become a rising star in the business world. Just as everyone wonders who will claim this untouchable beauty,

she casually picks up Bai Jingyuan, who's crouched in a corner, and grins, baring her teeth. "Stick with me, and I'll make you believe in the light."

Bai Jingyuan has two bright red handprints on his face and tears in his eyes. "Okay~"

Everyone says Ji Shuyao has found herself an illegitimate son of the Bai family, a pathetic nobody with no power or influence. The readers see the negative reviews and start saying they're dropping the book.

But before long, the Bai family goes bankrupt and the business world is rocked! The mastermind is none other than Bai Jingyuan, the very person they looked down on!

The comments immediately change their tune.

Comments: Well, look at that! Playing the fool to catch the tiger, and powerful people putting on an act for each other!

"Coming soon: Lord of the Underworld Yingzhao"

According to legend, Yingzhao, the Ghost King of the underworld, is a ten-thousand-year-old vengeful spirit. In the desolate primordial era, she suffered a miserable end in every life. After death, she battled countless ghosts and finally attained the Great Way.

As the Lord of the Underworld, she governs the three realms and controls the vengeful spirits. Her methods are ruthless, and she created the Eighteen Levels of Hell, all supposedly to satisfy her own selfish desires!

Some even say she loves eating children's brains, terrifying everyone so much they fear being ruled by her even after becoming ghosts.

The ghosts all set the record straight: That's not true! We're doing just fine.

While people outside smear Yingzhao, she is helping prepare soup at Meng Po's Hall.

While mortal couples use her to scare their children, she's helping revise the Book of Life and Death.

While the immortals accuse her of hurting and eating people, she snaps an evil ghost's head in half with one hand and smiles radiantly.

Even someone as carefree and desireless as her has her troubles. She looks at the young man she saved and asks, "Lu Li, why aren't you happy?"

Lu Li looks a little hurt. "You're wonderful in every way, Sister, except that you don't love me."

*

When the underworld was first established, everyone saw a green ghost flame following Yingzhao for tens of thousands of years, almost never leaving her side.

At some point, the ghost flame vanished, replaced by a handsome young man named Lu Li. He is gentle and steady, always putting the Lord of the Underworld first.

Lu Li loves Yingzhao and is willing to serve at her side because she saved his life.

By chance, he hears the tale of the ghost flame, and his heart aches as the truth dawns on him. He is only the ghost flame's substitute. From beginning to end, he was the only one who fell in love.

The moment he falls into darkness, every thought becomes delusion.

"Sister, you belong to me."

"I love you. The sun and moon can bear witness, the mountains and rivers can bear witness, and everyone has seen it. Have you ever noticed?"

*One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first and only. The heroine is unmatched in both beauty and strength!

*The male lead is sweet on the outside and scheming underneath, and will always love the heroine!

An unmatched heroine in strength vs. a devoted, puppy-like male lead who's sweet on the outside and scheming underneath

Theme: Love alone never fails!
