Don't Fall in Love with the Villain [Book Transmigration]

Weary of the world, yet gentle x extreme and cold-blooded

Content warning: angst, sexual content, and a bad ending

Shen Ludeng transmigrated into a cultivation novel where the protagonist and the villain would casually sacrifice all living beings in the world.

She cultivated diligently, got along with her fellow disciples, and honored her masters. All she wanted was to help her entire sect avoid danger in a cultivation world rife with bloodshed.

But her cultivation was crippled by the master she adored, her cherished junior brother took her golden core, and her senior brothers and sisters dug out her shattered spiritual roots while she lay on the brink of death.

Before she died, Shen Ludeng leapt into the boundary of the Demon Abyss.

Within the boundary lay a hidden paradise, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, where people could live in seclusion.

The young villain from the book saved her.

The future Demon God Bai Yi could summon storms with a flip of his hand and topple mountains and seas with a flick of his finger.

But the boy standing before her now had a gaping, blood-soaked wound across his back. Even so, he dragged his battered body over to take a sword strike meant for her.

Shen Ludeng's heart softened.

She and Bai Yi fell in love, and swore to the Heavenly Dao that they would stay together until their hair turned white.

But later, thirty-six soul-pursuing nails pierced her lungs, and Bai Yi personally cut out her glazed heart.

She remembered the first comment she had seen after clicking into this book: "Don't fall in love with the villain. It'll only bring you misery."

Shen Ludeng came to her senses as if waking from a dream. She severed her ties to love and began cultivating the Heartless Dao.

The first page of the sword manual: kill the one you love.

*

As the Demon God feared by the Three Realms fell, he still held Shen Qiqi's blade in his hand. He burned up his soul to remake her glazed heart,

hoping to bring her a belated spring in this world.

Old-school, over-the-top angst and tragic romance... well.
