The Villain Cured My Illness [Book Transmigration]

[Errata, typos, and punctuation may be corrected from time to time. Pirated copies have many errors and omissions; only the authorized version is supported.]

Jiang Xi transmigrates into a book.

According to the System, a character in the book has awakened. He will destroy the world to break free of the book's constraints, so someone needs to stop him and preserve the world's stability.

And she's the unlucky person randomly selected for the job.

Jiang Xi strongly protests, but the System ignores her and continues: Target character: Imperial Preceptor Bei Qing. Good luck, Host!

Then it disappears completely, never to be heard from again.

Jiang Xi: ...Why would a character in a book have a mind of his own?

On the second day after transmigrating into the book, the so-called target character proposes to her at a palace banquet.

On their wedding night, he gets straight to the point and asks where she came from and how she got there.

Jiang Xi: ...

That was a quick identity reveal. I really can't thank you enough.

Jiang Xi thinks Bei Qing will do whatever it takes to get information out of her, then kill her once she's outlived her usefulness.

But at some point, he starts protecting her at every turn, and the way he looks at her grows increasingly strange.

When the capital falls and the kingdom is destroyed, Bei Qing gives up trying to break through the world's boundaries and takes an arrow for her. Jiang Xi finally panics.

It seems he doesn't merely like her. He's in love with her.

But how is that possible? Even her parents couldn't love her.

Trembling, she asks him, "Do you know you won't get another chance?"

He lowers his eyes and replies unconcernedly, "I know. I want you."

Jiang Xi has avoidant attachment. After drifting through life for so long, she's already accepted that no one will ever love her. Yet this man before her bends down on one knee and tells her she can try relying on him.

He also heals the wounds in her heart and cures her illness.

Over the course of tens of thousands of years, Bei Qing has done everything imaginable to pass the time. Then one day, he discovers worlds beyond his own, and learns about the flow of fate.

Later, he meets Jiang Xi, a soul from beyond his world.

So he proposes to her and keeps her close, right in front of his eyes

He has all the patience in the world to get the information he wants.

But he never expects the seemingly delicate girl to be framed and respond by plunging a knife clean through the hand of the person trying to assault her.

He steps over and watches quietly for a while, then says, "You're quite ruthless for a young woman."

Jiang Xi looks at him as if it's obvious. "What else could I do? By the time you got here, it would have been too late."

Looking into her eyes, Bei Qing suddenly feels something unfamiliar. Then he smiles. "I'll take care of it for you."

This demon has lived for tens of thousands of years. Countless people have sought his protection, but now he finds himself wanting to protect this girl who doesn't need him to take her side.

Avoidant attachment heroine x doting husband hero

One-on-one romance (Jiang Xi and Bei Qing), happy ending, both chaste. The hero's name is Bei Qing.

Reading notes:

1. The hero is a villain in the original book's storyline; this is revealed as the story unfolds.

2. The heroine has avoidant attachment, but she can like people normally and accept being liked. It's only when she realizes she's loved that she panics and wants to run away, because it's beyond her understanding.

3. The heroine has no original body after transmigrating into the book; the System created her identity.
