Villain, Please Don't Turn Evil

As a veteran corporate drone, Zhong Lingling had a hobby: at night, she transformed into an author and brutally tormented her characters. The more miserable life made her, the harder she made things for her characters! But times had changed. Readers no longer liked angst, and tormenting the protagonists got you threatening letters from readers. Zhong Lingling had a sudden inspiration: why not torment the villains instead? And so, the villains she wrote were more beautiful and more powerful than the last. More importantly, each one suffered more than the last. They were all the ultimate beautiful-but-tragic powerhouses! One day, after being thoroughly tormented by a client, Zhong Lingling was gleefully pounding away at her keyboard, mercilessly torturing her favorite villain, Lu Cihuan, when a huge black hole appeared on her screen and sucked her in! When Zhong Lingling came to, she was in a mountain cave covered in a suspicious-looking array. Standing opposite her was a handsome man with mismatched eyes. His black hair was like ink, and his face was so pale it had not a trace of color. Yet dark red demon markings adorned his deathly pale face. The stark contrast of red, black, and white made him both beautiful and mad. Mismatched eyes, demon markings, a madman... Wasn't this exactly Lu Cihuan's signature look?! Zhong Lingling was stunned. "I must be dreaming." The beautiful man with mismatched eyes swept his slender eyes toward her, smiling as murderous intent surged within him. "Are you the mastermind who toyed with my fate?" Zhong Lingling, author of this very book, and the actual mastermind: No, my boy, let me explain! It turned out that Lu Cihuan, tired of having his fate toyed with again and again, had used a forbidden technique, sacrificing almost all his cultivation in exchange for an answer from the gods. The array activated, and Zhong Lingling was sent to him. Zhong Lingling: ...I think there's still a chance to salvage this. Fortunately, all was not lost. Zhong Lingling had brought her phone with her when the black hole sucked her in, so she could keep writing on it and steer the plot. And so, guilt-ridden Zhong Lingling began frantically making it up to her boy! "A primordial divine artifact? I'll write one for my boy!" "A peerless spirit medicine? My boy gets to eat it all!" "So what if you sacrificed all your spiritual power? Mommy will find a way to get it back for you!" "You reign supreme in heaven and earth. What else do you want, my boy? Mommy will give you everything!" The next moment, Zhong Lingling fell into a warm embrace. The beautiful man with mismatched eyes held her tight, his gaze fixed on her with obsessive, unhealthy intensity. All his madness had become a desire to possess her alone. "I want you." The mastermind, Zhong Lingling, shivered. My boy, once you learn the truth, I think you might add the word "dead" to the end of that sentence... #Torturing the villain is fun until you end up in the crematorium# Message: Winter has come, but can spring be far behind?
