Saving the Beautiful but Broken Villain [Book Transmigration]

Ling Mingyu read a wildly popular cultivation power fantasy. While everyone else cheered for the protagonist, he fell for the villain, Xie Wang. Unlike the protagonist, a child of fortune, Xie Wang was doomed to a life of hardship. His parents and clansmen died because of him; his betrothed's family humiliated and tormented him; and his master coveted his body and tried to possess it... Even so, through inhuman determination and effort, Xie Wang rose from an abandoned clan heir, rejected by everyone, to become the supreme ruler of the demonic path, a terror to all three realms. Unfortunately, his hands were stained with too much blood along the way. In the end, he died horribly at the protagonist's sword, reduced to dust until not a trace of his body remained. After closing the book, Ling Mingyu spent days grieving, unable to sleep. Time and again, he lamented: If Xie Wang's life had been as smooth as the protagonist's, wouldn't he have shone even brighter than him? When Ling Mingyu opened his eyes again, he discovered that he had transmigrated into the book and become the Will of Heaven. And the future Demon Venerable, a violent tyrant whom everyone would want dead, was only four years old! Ling Mingyu's eyes lit up with excitement, and his heart pounded. In this life, he would give Xie Wang a brilliant life! After personally slaughtering his enemies and rising to the top of the demonic realm, Xie Wang opened his eyes and found himself back in his youth. His greedy clansmen, the righteous sects who fawned on the powerful and trampled the weak... Reborn, Xie Wang resolved to send them all to hell before they could torment and humiliate him again. But this time, before Xie Wang could act, a figure always stepped firmly in front of him, saying: “Don't be afraid. I'll protect you.” After defeating the bullies who had picked on Xie Wang yet again, Ling Mingyu tossed aside his sword and looked to Xie Wang with shining eyes, eager for praise. “I told you I'd protect you. So, how was that? Wasn't I amazing?” Before Ling Mingyu could turn away, Xie Wang quietly withdrew the vicious aura that had terrified everyone. Then, under the horrified and fearful gazes of the crowd, he calmly took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped each of Ling Mingyu's fingertips. His expression was gentle, as if soothing a child. “Amazing.” Reborn pursuer x transmigrated-into-a-book receiver Gloomy, unhinged obsessive x silly beauty Reader's guide: 1.

Enjoy! ------ Please add my next novel, After Saving the Obsessive Big Shot, to your reading list ------ One-line summary: I saved my arranged-marriage partner, then transmigrated back. Jian Yining's arranged-marriage partner is a once-in-a-century genius in the business world. He's tall, handsome, composed, and wealthy. But Jian Yining heard through the grapevine that his future spouse had endured a hard life as a youth and had a childhood sweetheart he could never forget. On his way to break off the engagement, Jian Yining was in a car accident and transmigrated into the body of a frail teenager fifteen years in the past. He discovered that the quiet, antisocial, strange poor student in his class was his future arranged-marriage partner, Jin Sui Nian. The future business titan, powerful enough to command the world, was now living on the streets, hungry, cold, and ostracized at every turn. His school uniform had faded from countless washes, but his back was straight as a pine. His eyes held a resolve and depth far beyond his years. Jian Yining's heart softened. He drew close to Jin Sui Nian, warmed him, and stayed by his side through the hardest years of his life. But before Jian Yining could enjoy the fruits of his efforts, just like that, he died and returned to his own time. After waking up, Jian Yining searched through every report about Jin Sui Nian. Over the past ten years, Jin Sui Nian had advanced like a conquering force, rapidly becoming a business titan who commanded all sides and building his own commercial empire. Ruthless and decisive, a young man of outstanding talent: these were the words that defined Jin Sui Nian. Looking at the mature, composed Jin Sui Nian, Jian Yining's eyes grew hot and tears of excitement fell. But... after searching through all the records in disappointment, Jian Yining couldn't find a single mention of himself. In the business world, there was one taboo everyone knew about but never dared to mention. It was someone who had been dead for ten years, but whose name alone could drive Jin Sui Nian completely mad. ----- Coming soon: Transmigrated as the Villainous Cannon Fodder in a Danmei Novel ----- Ning Mian transmigrated into a danmei harem novel as a wicked cannon-fodder villain. In the story, jealous of the protagonist receiver's beauty, he bullied him from childhood. When they grew up, he stole the engagement between the protagonist receiver and the protagonist pursuer, murdered people and framed others, and seduced his way into the protagonist's bed. He did every kind of evil. In the end, his crimes came to light. The Sword Venerable, the protagonist pursuer, crippled his cultivation; the Demon Venerable, the second male lead, disabled his hands and feet; the Demon Emperor, the third male lead, gouged out his eyes and tongue; and even after he died and became a vengeful ghost, the fourth male lead, the Ghost King, tormented him day and night. Knowing how the original owner met his end, Ning Mian squeezed his eyes shut in despair. Luckily, he had transmigrated early. He was still a little kid, and hadn't started doing anything bad yet. With no other choice, Ning Mian began his difficult quest to stay alive: He fed and raised the protagonist receiver in every way he could, treating him like a beloved little brother; He encouraged the amnesiac Demon Emperor, who had fallen into slavery, and helped him get along with the third male lead; He saved an unknown, gravely injured person with astonishing cultivation, figuring that more friends meant more ways out; And when he grew up, he voluntarily called off his engagement to the protagonist pursuer, telling him it had all been a misunderstanding... And so Ning Mian lived on tenterhooks until he was eighteen. As soon as his deadline for death passed, Ning Mian packed up his belongings and prepared to run. But before he could even get out the door, four or five handsome men, each with a very different style, blocked his way. “Big brother/Master/Mianmian/Xiao Mian, where are you going? Why aren't you taking me with you?” The instant the words fell, the protagonist pursuer and receiver, along with the supporting male characters, exchanged glances, their murderous intent surging wildly. Then they all turned to Ning Mian at once and asked with a smile: “Who do you want to take with you? You can only pick one :)” Ning Mian: QAQ H-help! The good news was that he didn't have to die. But why had nobody told him there were other deadly love rival showdowns in this world?! Theme: Break free from fate and live for love
