How to Win Over a Sickly Villain

[Next up: My Sweet, Well-Behaved Junior Brother Is Yandere?! What Should I Do? Please add it to your reading list~]

An elegant, sickly, unhinged villain x an energetic, sunny, timid heroine

Ruan Niannian transmigrates into a male-oriented cultivation novel.

Unfortunately, she becomes one of the cannon fodder characters who gets face-slapped by the male lead. Even worse, she’s told that her life is linked to the villain’s.

In other words, if the villain dies, she dies too.

Ruan Niannian shudders: “...Y-you mean that short-lived, sickly beauty of a villain?”

In the novel, the beautiful villain is lowborn. He was raised to be used as an ingredient in medicine, has a frail body, and suffers endlessly before eventually turning evil.

After turning evil, he gives up years of his life to fall into the demonic path, all for revenge. In the end, he only lives for two more years.

Ruan Niannian looks at the short life bar above her head: “...S-save me...”

Luckily, she’s transmigrated before the villain turns evil. There’s still time.

First things first: time to get healthy!

“You have to drink your health tea. It’ll help you live longer.”

“Wear my clothes. You’ll get sick if you catch a chill. Hey, are you wearing long underwear?”

“Why practice that? Come do the Eight Brocades with me.”

“Let’s just say, keep a calm mind and you’ll live longer.”

She takes meticulous care of him in daily life, guides him toward positive thinking, and does everything she can to support his career. Ruan Niannian is carrying out a truly high-quality human rescue and redemption operation!

Until one day, the sick villain watches Ruan Niannian rushing around to care for him. He grips her slender wrist tightly, his gaze dark. “Why do you care about me?”

Ruan Niannian: “How could I not care about you? Your life is my life, after all. Oh, and drink your hot water.”

The villain falls silent for a moment, then murmurs, “So... we’ll never abandon each other, in life or death?”

Ruan Niannian doesn’t see anything wrong with that. “Exactly. That’s what I mean.”

The villain hides the obsession in his eyes, puts on a charming smile, and softly says, “All right.”

Ruan Niannian: ?

Wen Ji has long known that beneath his mild-mannered exterior, he is bloodthirsty and deranged. All he wants is to drag the entire world down with him.

On the day he was supposed to fall into the demonic path, someone hurriedly tugged at his sleeve.

The young woman’s eyes were red as she pleaded, “You can’t.”

He lowered his hand and agreed. “All right.”

Only she treats his life as precious, so he treats her as his life.

Yes, in the long, dark journey of his life, she is the only light to shine upon him. How could he bear to let it go out?

1. A silly, carefree story with an overpowered protagonist, broken logic, and all kinds of plot holes. Don’t think too hard about it.

2. The health advice is exaggerated for comedic effect and should not be used as a guide to real-life health practices.

Upcoming: My Sweet, Well-Behaved Junior Brother Is Yandere?! What Should I Do?

A sweet-faced, secretly unhinged yandere junior brother x a lazy, clueless beauty of a senior sister

Qiao Nian transmigrates into an old-fashioned, melodramatic cultivation novel, and the System tells her to choose a character to pursue.

Level 1: The cold and heartless Celestial Emperor. *Includes a groveling-after-the-breakup arc.

Level 2: The wicked and cruel Demon Lord. *Includes physical and emotional abuse.

Level 3: The sinister, perverted master. *Includes [redacted] scenes.

Level 99: The gentle, considerate junior brother. *The panel is limited and cannot display this option.

Qiao Nian: “I choose a normal person!”

*

To complete her mission, she brings home her injured junior brother, takes care of his meals and daily needs, and tends to his wounds with the utmost attention.

Just as she expected, once he recovers, her junior brother repays her kindness. He’s obedient and well-behaved, like an adorable little lamb.

Life couldn’t be better. Lounging in a rocking chair in the sun, Qiao Nian secretly congratulates herself on her brilliant plan.

No need to jump off the Immortal-Slaying Platform, have her eyes and kidneys removed, or get locked up for something unspeakable. She can just enjoy a lazy life here.

Qiao Nian calls out warmly, “My adorable junior brother, is lunch ready?”

Her obedient junior brother, busy cooking, replies, “Almost! Just wait a little longer, Senior Sister.”

What a sweet, harmless little lamb~

But she doesn’t know that the little lamb is standing in a dark corner, swiftly chopping off an intruder’s head.

The pale-faced young man’s eyes are red. Smiling gently, he presses a bloodstained finger to his lips and says, “I told you... not to disturb me and my senior sister.”

She also doesn’t know that the Demon Lord, Celestial Emperor, and master combined aren’t as crazy as her junior brother alone.

Later, when she finally glimpses the young man’s unhinged true nature, she’s so terrified she freezes, then trembles as she prepares to run for it.

A cold hand covers her wrist. Her junior brother approaches, smelling of blood, and murmurs against her ear, “Senior Sister, if you run away from me, I’ll go crazy.”

“Then I won’t know what I might do.”

As usual, he smiles gently and obediently. His gaze is sick with obsession, making the blood on him look all the more vivid.

Wen Yunshui knows there’s something wrong with him. He is cold and heartless, bloodthirsty and cruel, like the murky black sludge in a dark alley. Yet in the chaotic darkness of the endless night, a foolish senior sister who shines like a beacon suddenly appears.

His foolish senior sister thinks he’s a sweet, well-behaved little lamb.

He finds it fascinating.

Fine, then. He’ll be a little lamb.

Theme: Respect life and embrace the beauty in it with passion.
