[Coming soon: See my profile for My Fate Is Short on Money. Blurb at the end. Also recommending my friend's new book, This Isn't the Protagonist I Wanted to Be, by Yu Shiyi.]
Blurb:
What do you do when you transmigrate into a cultivation romance game as the wicked villainess?
Yue Jin: I know this one. I've read more transmigration villainess novels than there were people watching when I died! All I have to do is turn the tables and crush the original protagonists!
System: Sorry, the game you've transmigrated into is a tragedy, and none of the leads are normal.
Male Lead A: The heroine's master, aloof and abstinent.
Male Lead B: A powerful figure from the demon realm, saved by the heroine when he was injured. He's obsessive and kills without mercy.
Male Lead C: The head of a mysterious organization, secretly protecting the heroine. He has yandere tendencies.
Male Lead D: The heroine's senior fellow disciple, gentle and devoted.
Yue Jin: That all sounds pretty normal. What's so tragic about it?
System: Everyone in this game is evil. The ending is bad, and the character you've transmigrated as is a deranged demoness. In the end, the four male leads tear out her tongue, chop off her hands, and gouge out her eyes because she's jealous of the heroine...
Yue Jin: Stop, I don't want to hear any more. So why did you drag me into this game?
System: To watch you suffer.
To spite the stupid System, Yue Jin decides to save herself.
But the four male leads are all top-tier fighters. She can't find anyone powerful enough to take on the male leads and give her a safe haven, so in the end she turns her attention to the heroine. If she can get on the heroine's good side, she'll avoid a death ending!
But before she can even start ingratiating herself with the heroine, all four male leads turn their murderous gazes on her, and Yue Jin silently retreats to a corner.
Then an outsider, a hidden character, appears in her sights: the heroine's older brother!
Yue Jin has a brilliant idea. Getting close to the heroine's brother is practically the same as getting close to the heroine! So one night, she knocks him out, stuffs him in a sack, carries him home, and feeds him a memory-loss pill.
When he wakes, he looks at her with confused black eyes. "Who are you?"
Yue Jin theatrically wipes away a tear. "I'm your mother! My dear boy, how could you have lost your memory?"
Him: "..."
She's too young to play his mother, so Yue Jin has no choice but to become his fiancee. Years later, after successfully escaping the four male leads' clutches, she decides to use the same trick again: give him another memory-loss pill and run. But he stops her. "Where are you going, my darling? Why aren't you taking me with you?"
Yue Jin: "I-I'm just going out to buy you some of your favorite pancakes."
He smiles ominously. "Are you sure you're not going to buy a memory-loss pill, put me in a sack, knock me out, and make me take it?"
Yue Jin is horrified. "Damn! You never lost your memory!"
A heroine who's wicked on the outside but timid at heart X a genuinely evil mastermind male lead
A few things to keep in mind:
1. Don't trust anyone in this story who seems like a good person.
2. The male lead has no heart early on, only acting skills. Later, he'll suffer the classic groveling-after-the-breakup arc.
3. The heroine is a pitiful little thing at first, but later becomes an absolute badass.
4. Both leads are devoted to each other, one-on-one, with a happy ending.

Coming-soon book My Fate Is Short on Money:
Qian Qian first met Lian Xiao when he was a boy.
At the time, she was holding out a little bowl and begging for alms. The boy glanced at her expressionlessly and was about to go back inside to get some money when a small slip of paper fell from his pocket.
Qian Qian looked at the slip, hesitated again and again, then quietly muttered toward the figure inside, "If the first part changes, the second part stays the same..."
The boy stopped in his tracks inside the house. His voice rang out: "Check the quadrant for the symbol!"
Two fellow travelers in a transmigrated book, meeting in a foreign land: tears welled up in both their eyes.
But it was bad enough that Qian Qian had it rough. The other guy, who had transmigrated as the male lead of the book, had it even worse. While held as a hostage in the human realm, everyone bullied him. And because his natural talent was unprecedented, he could advance in cultivation just by eating or taking a dump, so the Immortal Realm set its sights on him and made his life miserable. Qian Qian finally couldn't stand it anymore. When the boy was undergoing tribulation, she took a hit for him and died.
A thousand years later, when she came back to life, she heard that the boy had become the most powerful and ill-tempered immortal in the Immortal Realm. The only one who pursued him was the original heroine, while all the other immortals steered clear of him.
He tore open the passage between the Immortal and Demon Realms, let tens of thousands of demons through, then slaughtered them all while the immortals in heaven were scared half to death. He even led an army to destroy the most prosperous kingdom in the human realm. Because of him, three of the four realms were thrown into chaos, leaving only the Demon Realm trembling in fear.
Everyone said: This man has to go mad to survive.
Asked why, they say it was because of a woman surnamed Qian, whose given name was Qian.
Qian Qian: ?

At seventeen, Lian Xiao transmigrated into his younger sister's Mary Sue novel and became the story's insanely cool, domineering, and devoted male lead.
Fine. Even in another world, he should still study hard. He didn't need to be the male lead. But he never expected to meet someone from back home. She was a good person, and he treated her as a friend.
But their pure friendship eventually changed. It all began when she took a hit from the heavenly tribulation for him.
After becoming an immortal, the first thing Lian Xiao did was declare: "I'm going dark!"
A beggar with many identities and a mature, powerful persona X a short-tempered boy transmigrated into the male lead of an old-school romance novel
Tips:
1. The male lead is a short-tempered madman.
2. The heroine has many hidden identities and is just as powerful as the male lead, but she's less flashy about it.
3. Both leads transmigrate, and they are firmly devoted to each other.

Theme: Persevere through setbacks and find your own way to survive
Alas, this is one of the few books where I wanted the heroine to be the only one beautiful. It's really not worth it. But in the end, the heroine is happy.
Men who can breathe lose points
I feel so sorry for the heroine, can't I change the hero? The younger brother is much better than the hero, right?
I can't see what the author wants to express.
I just find it boring to watch these people talk about their so-called love.
The torture the heroine suffered before was like a joke.
The heroine is similar to the original heroine to some extent.
It's all a group of men surrounding women.
She said she wanted to come back, and then brought in a bunch of nonsense to highlight the crematorium of these people after her death. I was tired of watching it.
It's just a few chapters away and it's not attractive anymore.
Don't be soft on the dog man, don't fall in love with him again, don't don't don't

I vote for the male lead in Kitty
Yeah, yeah, let's go to the crematorium
Madam, I'm hungry, Wenwen, more updates
Crematorium, don't forgive them
Let's go to the crematorium! (?▽`)! ! !
