She transmigrated into the historical-fantasy comic she was reading, becoming a cannon-fodder woman who clung to the male lead and wouldn't survive even one episode.
System: Your mission is to reform the second male lead, accumulate merit, and get him to do good deeds instead of going astray.
Lin Zhiyu: You might as well have me jump into the Yellow Springs and get reincarnated sooner.
As someone familiar with the comic's plot, Lin Zhiyu knew perfectly well that Si Yunlian and "good" didn't go together at all. He was a real lunatic!
System: ...Okay, as you wish.
"Better to live badly than die well" became Lin Zhiyu's motto from then on.
For the sake of her life, Lin Zhiyu treaded carefully around Si Yunlian every day, afraid he'd kill her for fun the moment he got upset.
But gradually, the story seemed to take a turn.
The obsessive, bloodthirsty demon lord was actually willing to humble himself and beg for her affection.
Beside a golden cage, scarlet blood crows filled the sky.
The youth's fingertips were gentle, his gaze tender and infatuated. "Then hate me. Hate lasts longer than love."

The world is foolish. People sink into the mire of their passions and desires, and even if their feelings are false and they put on an act, they still can't escape the shackles of love.
Si Yunlian swore that he would never become such a fool in this life.
But one day, she personally wove a dream for him, only to shatter it with an almost naively cruel hand.
Si Yunlian had long known that her affection was false and understood that her kindness was driven by ulterior motives.
But he still couldn't accept it.
Since she had provoked him, he wouldn't let her go, not in this life or any life to come.
