The Tragic Villain After Being Reborn

Coming soon: The Brutal Demon King Is My Sidekick

Currently drafting, launching in mid-November~

They say the Demon King lives deep in the demon realm, with a green face, fangs, and a cruel, merciless nature. Gifted hunters grow up terrified of him, with fear running through their very bones.

Dai Zhanxin has held the top spot on the national demon-hunting leaderboard for years.

She hates demons more than anything and has sworn to wipe out every evil spirit in the world, invade the demon realm, and destroy the Demon King.

One day, while hunting demons, she happened to save an innocent, kind-hearted young man named Lou Zhaixing.

It was the first time she'd ever let her prey go.

From then on, she had a little follower at her heels.

Her little follower was so gentle and naive that Dai Zhanxin worried every day that someone would bully him.

"If you run into demons, just give them my name."

"Don't worry. No one will dare bully you while I'm around."

"I'll protect you."

Later, the demon hunters stormed the demon realm, and Dai Zhanxin was the first to charge into the demon clan's holy palace.

The beautiful young man sat upon a lofty throne, with the demon clan kneeling in submission at his feet.

When Lou Zhaixing saw her barge in with a demon-slaying blade in hand, his usually carefree red eyes darkened. The innocence and naivete he once showed were gone.

That day, the demon-slaying blade, which had always been pointed at demons, turned to face the demon hunters charging in.

[Bonus scene, not part of the main story]

Scumbag fiance: "I think I've fallen for Dai Zhanxin."

Lou Zhaixing: "She has a childhood friend."

Scheming childhood friend: "Don't even dream about it. I'm the person closest to Xin Xin."

Lou Zhaixing: "She has a fiance."

The fiance and childhood friend fight tooth and nail, only to discover that Lou Zhaixing and Dai Zhanxin are together!

...Damn.

The world's strongest, upright heroine who hates demons x the peerlessly beautiful Demon King hero, who will do anything to get close to her, whether sweet and innocent or devious and manipulative

Synopsis:

Qian Zhaoying is a tragic villain. Though he is stronger in every way, he still has to live in the male lead's shadow.

Controlled by the plot, he suffers one injustice after another, becomes obsessed and loses control of himself, and eventually falls to evil, becoming the stepping stone that allows the male lead to ascend to godhood.

But during the final battle, Qian Zhaoying awakens to his own existence and kills the male and female leads.

To save the male lead, however, Heaven is willing to destroy the world and restart the story.

After being reborn, Qian Zhaoying wants only to break free of the plot. He has many ways to do it, but chooses to stop the cannon-fodder Chiyun Yan from dying.

In his previous life, Chiyun Yan loved him, opposed the male and female leads, and eventually died at his hands after her cultivation was destroyed.

This time, he absolutely will not let Chiyun Yan die!

At first, Qian Zhaoying tells himself he is getting close to her to make sure she stays alive and to break the plot.

He doesn't want Chiyun Yan to fall for him again, and he absolutely will not fall for her.

Later, he discovers that Chiyun Yan is nothing like the character in the story.

She is powerful, calm, clever, and hard to read.

As time goes by, she shows no sign of liking him at all.

Qian Zhaoying should be relieved, but instead, the thought leaves him feeling strangely unsettled.

Qian Zhaoying keeps reminding himself that he doesn't like Chiyun Yan.

But when her fated calamity arrives, he leaps in front of her to take the blow.

Qian Zhaoying lies in a pool of blood, Chiyun Yan's image reflected in his eyes. "I don't like you..."

But I love you.

He can't get the second half out. Qian Zhaoying closes his eyes and stops breathing.

P.S. The heroine's death in her previous life was not caused by the hero.

P.P.S. No angst, happy ending.
