One Thousand and One Days of Winning Over the Dark Moonlight

[A twisted, lovesick, and theatrical yandere boy x a sweet, healing little ray of sunshine]

Jiaojiao transmigrated into a book, and the System told her to win over the male supporting character, Pei You.

Pei You was handsome, his dark eyes filled with stars from the heavens. His every movement carried the carefree spirit of youth.

He didn't look hard to win over at all.

Later, Jiaojiao discovered three things about Pei You:

First, Pei You was a lovely boy: well-behaved, innocent, and a model of good manners.

Second, his innocence and good behavior were an act.

Third, he was actually a dangerous, unhinged villain with a seriously twisted thought process. QAQ

On the thousand-and-first day of trying to win him over, Jiaojiao thought she had failed. She packed her things and prepared to say goodbye to Pei You.

When she opened her eyes again, it was dark around her. Before her was the scene of the puppet case they had once solved.

The boy tilted his head and held a wolf-hair brush dipped in cinnabar, tracing a pretty flower on her palm.

After finishing the last stroke, he took her little finger in his and smiled, his lashes curving. "You promised you'd never leave."

*

Pei You was born with an evil nature and a hunger for the suffering of others. Yet he had the face of a little Bodhisattva, making him a true black lotus.

When he first met Jiaojiao, he had simply found her interesting.

He never expected his greed for her to take root in his very bones.

So he could only bow his head and plead, begging the little deity to love him a little more, so he could protect her and give her a carefree life.

The first time Jiang Mian saw Zhou Fan, he was painting on the rooftop.

The boy's long, beautiful fingers held a paintbrush as it glided across the paper.

Everyone said Zhou Fan was ill-tempered and obsessive, and that she should stay away from him.

Almost as if possessed, Jiang Mian walked over and picked up the paint he had dropped.

The boy took off his hearing aid and looked at her with dark eyes, every bit as unruly and ill-mannered as they said.

*

Jiang Mian didn't know that on a New Year's Eve years later, Zhou Fan would sit beneath her apartment building and paint her portrait all night.

Snow covered the boy's black hair, and the paint had clumped together.

Every picture was of her.

She also didn't know that when the accident happened, Zhou Fan would rush forward like a madman, his hands covered in blood.

*

One day, the girl leaned close to Zhou Fan, her dark eyes shining:

"Zhou Fan isn't fierce at all.

Jiang Mian likes Zhou Fan."

The unruly boy tenderly and reverently kissed the corner of her lips.

[Vile, ruthless evil boy x kind, healing divine girl]

Sang Yao died at the age of twenty.

She had been entangled with Yu Chuan for six years.

For the first three, she thought Yu Chuan was sickly and elegant, like a gentle breeze beneath the moon. She had devoted all her kindness to him.

In the fourth year, she realized Yu Chuan was rotten to the core.

In the fifth year, that rotten man became the ruler of Changli. To save her own life, she gritted her teeth and seduced him.

Then she tried to leave him. She failed.

In the final year, there was only one thing left between them. At midnight, their fingers intertwined as he leaned down, his breath warm against her earlobe:

"If you run, I'll chop up everyone in the Xie family and feed them to the dogs."

As she died, she thought, Great! At least I won't have to hear this rotten man's threats anymore. :)

When she opened her eyes again, she was fifteen.

It was the year Yu Chuan was at his lowest.

*

The Yu clan of Changli had three rules: first, do good deeds and cultivate virtue; second, love everyone; third, act honorably.

Yu Chuan was born with an evil nature. He didn't love anyone, and he was vile and ruthless.

That was until he met a girl.

He had suffered cruelty and injustice ever since birth. She was the only one who carefully took his hand.

She hooked her little finger around his. "Yu Chuan, don't be sad. I'll stay with you."

"Promise?"

He lowered his eyes. "All right."

She was the one who let the wolf in.
