After Becoming the Villain's Body Pillow

(This novel will undergo a major rewrite from the beginning, then resume updating. I've been working overtime like a corporate drone ever since graduating, but I recently changed jobs and am finally feeling a little better. I'm so sorry to everyone who was following along! I don't want to abandon the outline or rush through the ending. Once I've gotten back into the swing of writing, I'll start updating again. I'm truly sorry!)

On the day Luo Feige bonded with her dao companion, he slaughtered her entire family. Only as she lay dying did she realize she was merely a stand-in for the heroine in a storybook.

In the storybook, the hero and heroine lived happily ever after as a perfect couple, and even their killings were praised as righteous acts carried out on Heaven's behalf.

She refused to accept this. Struggling, she reached out to the man approaching with the flames at his back.

"Save me."

"Why should I?"

"I can help you sleep well."

After joining the great villain, she gets scolded every day for having a low cultivation level. But he never lets anyone hurt her. He gives her piles of protective charms, personally crafts her a treasured sword, and buys her pretty dresses.

Luo Feige is deeply touched. Seeing that the great villain can barely stay awake each day, she decides that when she takes revenge, she'll make sure to protect his sleep.

An enemy approaches. The great villain flashes an evil smile and is about to strike, but Luo Feige steps in front of him, expressionless. "I'll handle it."

She runs into her enemy and is about to finish them off, but Luo Feige steps in front of him, expressionless. "I'll handle it."

The great villain is about to face his tribulation, but Luo Feige steps in front of him, expressionless. "I'll handle it."

The great villain: "...You've done everything. What am I supposed to do?"

Luo Feige: "Get some sleep. Leave it to me."

The great villain senses something is off and turns to help her get revenge. But when he looks over, her haughty enemy is already kneeling beneath her sword, weeping and begging for mercy.

His little cuddle pillow, still looking adorably rumpled, asks him if he's sleepy.

*

One day, the demon goes on a rampage, attacking everyone without regard for kinship. The little cuddle pillow calmly steps out of the crowd, grabs the demon, and plants a loud kiss on him. Then she declares with absolute certainty, "I'm the one you love."

The demon snarls, "How dare you, mmph, "

"I just mmph, "

"Get lost, mmph, "

"Mm, don't mmph, "

The demon is kissed into a daze. When he comes to, the little cuddle pillow is nodding to the crowd. "It's fine. Just a family matter."

The trembling cultivators watch as she reaches out to the demon. "Come on, be good. Let's go home."

The demon sneers dismissively.

The cultivators: Fellow Daoist, you're asking for death!

The demon takes her hand with an air of composed obedience.

The cultivators: ...???

A deadpan girl with a quirky way of thinking and a forward approach, and an arrogant, protective big demon who says one thing but does another.

Content warnings:

1. The setting is wildly imaginative. "Sweet story" refers specifically to the romance.

2. Not a pure wish-fulfillment story, but a growth-focused cultivation progression.

3. The heroine levels up and fights monsters while the hero lies flat and sleeps~

---- Coming soon 1: "The Dangerous Daily Life of an Internet Addict and an Acting Master" ----

Tang Xiaoyu is struck by a tribulation and sent to the modern world. After a certain cunning psychologist brainwashes her, she accepts the "fact" that she has "a delusion that makes her imagine she's cultivating immortality."

That is, until she returns to the cultivation world after seeing that psychologist through to the end of his life.

Dressed in strange clothes, Tang Xiaoyu sticks out among the cultivators. Her former senior brother is shocked to see her and is just about to speak when he notices the long-missing junior sister solemnly clutching a black brick.

Tang Xiaoyu: "...This might be a bad time, but... does our village have internet yet?"

Everyone: "???"

Darn it! Being addicted to the internet in ancient times is pure torture!

After a series of twists and turns, Tang Xiaoyu is delighted to discover that spirit stones can generate electricity, and powerful cultivators can even connect to the internet across time and space!

The internet-addicted girl has no other talents, but she does have a little theoretical knowledge she learned from her psychologist. To earn spirit stones, she shamelessly opens a psychology clinic in the cultivation world.

And somehow, this unconventional approach actually makes her money!

Tang Xiaoyu: ╰(*°▽°*)╯~

As for how she discovered that powerful cultivators can connect to the internet across time and space...

"Immortal Venerable, this won't do. Come a little closer, the internet's lagging again!"

Chu Chenxu sits down beside her, chuckling as he reaches out and pinches the warm, pale nape of her neck.

One end of the Immortal-Binding Cord is locked around his throat, and the other is tied to Tang Xiaoyu's slender wrist.

"Are you treating me, or just after my cultivation? And why are you triple-checking? Is he better-looking than me?"

Tang Xiaoyu: "...There, there. This is called exposure therapy."

---- Coming soon 2: "The More the Moonlight White She Falls" ----

↓↓↓

In the plot of "The White Moonlight Is Abandoned, and the Stand-In Takes Her Place," Gu Liuqian is the white moonlight herself.

Other white moonlights bury their hatred deep in their hearts, make it on their own, and resolve to reclaim everything they lost.

Gu Liuqian, backed by powerful allies and favored by Heaven: Why bother taking it back? It's not like it was anything worth wanting.

So she severed her ties, left her sect, and headed off without a backward glance. Even when her sect was later wiped out and her father, the sect leader, wept and begged her to save him, she never looked back.

As she roams the world with her sword, Gu Liuqian resolves to lop off the head of the false Heavenly Dao and become renowned for all eternity.

In reality, while the big shot fights enemies on the front lines, she and the little Heavenly Dao lounge in his sea of consciousness, munching on sunflower seeds and watching a screen.

Gu Liuqian: "This show isn't good. I want to watch that forbidden romance between the master and disciple from last time."

The little Heavenly Dao: "Maybe not. The heroine isn't interesting after she turns evil. Isn't the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama here more exciting?"

Gu Liuqian: "What a strange hobby you have."

The big shot, at the end of his patience: "They're dead. Get out."

[The Big Shot's Perspective]

Qi Huizhou has glimpsed the path to ascension three times. But the Heavenly Dao fears him, dreads him, and repeatedly clips his wings. It cannot kill him, so it traps him in a lightless abyss. Then one day, he sees Gu Liuqian stride toward him with her sword, shattering the formation.

He trades a sword for a way out, then binds this wary, vicious girl to him with a life-and-death contract.

After learning that the Heavenly Dao is false, he gives up on ascending.

He plans to become the Heavenly Dao himself.

There is only one life-bound sword, and two people share a single mortal body. Whoever wields the sword, they fight side by side.

"You practice the sword; I fall for you."

Theme: Life is supreme, and no one has the right to trample it, not even a little.
