Shi Yiyi transmigrated into a book, becoming an early-dead cannon-fodder character in a xianxia novel. By an incredible coincidence, she transmigrated along with her ex-boyfriend.
Her ex, Nan Xingci, was a real jerk. Other than being good-looking, all he ever did was make her angry.
He had a bad temper, was petty, and ignored her. The night they broke up, she cried her heart out, but he didn't say a single word to win her back.
As luck would have it, Nan Xingci had become the novel's main villain. Shi Yiyi decided to uphold justice and get her revenge.
But before she could do anything, she discovered that her ex had already been put through just about every kind of torment.
He'd been beaten and humiliated, nails driven into his shoulders, chains bound all over his body, and trapped inside a formation. His suffering was so awful she couldn't bear to watch.
Hey, hey, this isn't right!
No matter how much of a jerk her ex was, he was only a jerk to her. What did the grudges in the book have to do with him?
So she couldn't help but show him some kindness and saved Nan Xingci.
As he held her in his arms, she almost thought they'd rekindled their old romance and gotten back together
Not a chance. An ex-boyfriend could be even more of a jerk than before.
Nan Xingci wiped out her sect with a single strike of his sword.
Nan Xingci stabbed her friend to death with a single strike of his sword.
Nan Xingci even killed the young disciple she'd taken in with a single strike of his sword.
Dizzy and disoriented, she asked him why. Nan Xingci wiped the blood splattered on his face with the back of his hand, then asked in utter confusion,
"Yiyi, aren't I the villain in this book?"
A villain was supposed to gain power by killing people.
Shi Yiyi thought he might be insane.
The righteous immortal sects planned to join forces and eliminate him, the great demon lord. But the sins brought from another world should be dealt with by her, the one who came from that world.
She stabbed him with her sword, and naturally, Nan Xingci stabbed her in return.
She stabbed his shoulder. He stabbed her heart.
Before she lost her strength and closed her eyes in his arms, Shi Yiyi thought, Forget it. I'm tired.
As for how shocked and anguished Nan Xingci was afterward, how his heart broke, she didn't want to care anymore.
"A-Xing, stay here and fulfill your dream of becoming the greatest under heaven."
"I'm going home."
*
It rained the night they broke up. It was dark, and Nan Xingci couldn't make out what she was saying with her lips.
He had never told her that he couldn't hear.
He endured the humiliation and the pain, and finally gained enough power to destroy this world.
Because she'd mumbled in her sleep, "A-Xing, you still owe me a birthday cake."
He only wanted to take her home.
[Before You Read]
1. The male lead won't change, and there is no face-slapping. This is a melodramatic love story about two silly lovers who misunderstand each other.
2. There is a redemption arc, but the story is slow-burn, and it comes later.
Theme: Growing and finding redemption while standing against the world
The male protagonist is wearing a book and still can't hear? It shouldn't be [question mark]
No prizes for guessing whether he is a good guy or a bad guy 😏
Why can't we just talk about it? Why can't my ex-boyfriend be more familiar with me than the person I've known here for half a year?
The special intonation must be a foreshadowing, right?
Finally we got to know each other.
Oh my god, you really dare to say anything. . . Aren't you afraid of Demon Star's revenge?
Demon Star must be peeking behind my back 😏
Well, it turns out that Master, you have many such disciples, fraternity.
The heroine has such a low status. She is the master's disciple after all [heartbroken]
This one is still a child
