After I Married, He Went Completely Mad

[A melodramatic story with a reckoning arc. Be sure to check the warnings.] Xi Fuyu's older brother is a hopeless romantic. He saved a demon and spent his whole life chasing after it, even giving up his life for it. The little demon always acted as if it were pure and unsullied, saying, "I don't need you. You're the one throwing yourself into the fire." Reborn into another life, Xi Fuyu went in his brother's place to "save" Hua Lue. He watched coldly as Hua Lue lay at her most wretched and helpless, and listened to her plead, "Please, save me..." Xi Fuyu said, "Why should I save you?" Hua Lue was burdened by a terrible grudge and wanted only to survive. "I'll repay you." "I'll do anything." Xi Fuyu saved her and brought her back to the Xi residence. Later, rumors spread through the household that "the eldest young master likes Hua Lue, the person by the third young master's side." To prevent the brothers from falling out, the Old Madam planned to marry Hua Lue off to a cook. Xi Fuyu was certain that the little princess of the demon clan would never marry a mortal, much less a cook, so he didn't intervene. He never expected Hua Lue to marry the man happily. But it had nothing to do with him, and his brother wouldn't die for a little demon as he had in his previous life. It could be called a happy ending for everyone. Except... One day, Xi Fuyu accidentally caught her being intimate with the cook and heard her drawl, "My dear Xi..." The cook's surname was Xi. Xi Fuyu remained cool and unmoved. That night, her lingering voice calling him "my dear Xi" followed him into his dreams, never to leave. Consumed by longing, he resorted to taking her by force. Straight-laced on the outside × little fox Warnings: * A reckoning arc, melodrama, female lead is not a virgin, male lead is * The male lead falls first and loves the female lead without reservation, but she won't love him the same way. * Romance-focused, concerned with small affections and private love, not a strong female lead story * If you find it uncomfortable, please drop the story. There are lots of great books on Jinjiang, so don't force yourself. Love you all! -- Here's an upcoming story. If you're interested, please add it to your collection! Saving the World-Weary Grandmaster Saving the World-Weary Grandmaster is a world where the transmigration bureau has failed again and again. The Grandmaster is the cultivator closest to ascending in all of the Nine Provinces, refined as jade and as ethereal as an immortal. ...But he wants to die. The transmigration bureau's mission is to win over the target: the Grandmaster. After accepting the mission, Yun Nian takes the identity of a sect disciple and asks the Grandmaster for guidance on cultivation. The Grandmaster sighs softly. "How can you be so stupid? You're going to be the death of me." The Grandmaster dies. Cause of death: he was annoyed to death by his hopeless disciple's descendant. Yun Nian: "???" Yun Nian starts over. And so the Grandmaster meets all sorts of bizarre deaths: "dying after being dazzled by her amazing swordsmanship," "choking on the tea she offers," "being driven to death by her skipping up the mountain," "being killed by her ugly smile"... The most absurd attempt comes when she tells him she's carrying his child, hoping to awaken the Grandmaster's compassion. The Grandmaster sighs gently. "Someone as useless as me doesn't deserve to have a child." Then he takes Yun Nian with him when he dies. Yun Nian is so angry her eyes turn red. One full-moon night, after the Grandmaster's poison turns him into a kitten, Yun Nian angrily picks him up and gives him several thorough rubs from head to tail, scolding him with every stroke. The kitten's sapphire-blue eyes are calm as still water, though a closer look reveals a hint of murderous intent. But Yun Nian isn't afraid. She grips the kitten's chin and threatens fiercely, "Keep looking at me like that and I'll dig your eyes out." Just then, the System chimes. [Affection +1] Yun Nian: "??" She might have just figured out how to win over the Grandmaster. (///v///) · After countless failures, Yun Nian completes her mission, takes her generous retirement bonus, and returns to her own world to live freely. Everything is going quite well. Until one day, she hears people gossiping that the white-haired demon, Wen Juan, is coming back from the Yellow Springs. Apparently, he endured the tortures of boiling oil and scorching flames in the underworld to find the woman he loved. Yun Nian: "???" Who? My former Grandmaster was also called Wen Juan. What a coincidence! That night, the legendary white-haired demon leans against her bed, teasing a Lovebug between his fingers. He looks like a ghost, smiling faintly. "A Nian, long time no see." Yun Nian: ...! Don't tell me that bug is meant for me. Damn it! Come any closer and I'll force a kiss on you! (The only part of me that can move is my mouth ←_←) ## The last time Wen Juan died, he thought he would wake up, as usual, to find Yun Nian waiting for him. But after spending several nights in the cold wind on the mountaintop, he finally understood that she would never come back. His hair turned white overnight, and his inner demons arose. #I sought death later only so that, when we met again, I could have the one and only, cold affection you had for me, even if it was anger# Female lead: sweet and badass // full of inner monologue Male lead: noble and aloof madman // crazy and dramatic // a total show-off -- After Awakening, I Mistook the Villain for My Dao Companion. This is a sweet story, super sweet! One day, Hua Li awakens to the fact that she's a substitute in a tragic xianxia romance. Her dao companion is gentle and attentive, and always goes along with everything she says, because he sees her as a vessel for his beloved, whom he plans to resurrect. And yet she can't resist the plot. As long as the main plot points remain unchanged, however, she can still change the details. * And so... In the Ten Thousand Demon Cavern, her dao companion suppresses the demons and climbs out of the cavern. According to the plot, she should run over in tears, anxiously hug and kiss her beloved dao companion, comfort him, and offer her heart's blood to save him. In reality, Hua Li runs over excitedly and punches his wound. When she sees him holding back his pain, his eyes reddening, she begs for comfort. "Waaah, you have no idea how scared I was after you left. That legendary great demon hurt me too. I was so, so badly injured. The holy monk said only your heart's blood can save me. You'll save me, right, husband?" Her beautiful dao companion pauses, then gently strokes her head and smiles tenderly. "Of course." From then on, the dao companions begin a life of hardship (crossed out) passionate devotion. "You didn't call me baby today. Don't you love me anymore?" "You always used to bathe in dew from the Celestial Mountains. Why didn't you go gather some for me? Don't you love me anymore?" "There are bones in the fish you made today. Have you fallen for someone else?" And so on. Hua Li had thought her dao companion would storm off, but he puts up with it time and again. Clearly, he has deep feelings for his beloved. At last, they reach the final plot point. He'll use her as a vessel to bring his beloved back to life. Hua Li looks sorrowful, but inwardly she sneers. If you're so devoted, then I'll use you to bring your beloved back to life instead. Just then, a man who looks exactly like her dao companion appears, furious. "What are you doing? Can't you even recognize me? Get over here!" Hua Li: "?" * Yan Baizhi and Hua Li's dao companion are twins. One was born with immortal bones and is adored by all. The other was born with demonic nature, rejected by both good and evil. Yan Baizhi crawls out of the Demon Cavern, his resentment and murderous aura reaching their peak. He wants to destroy the world. Then, a soft body collides with him, and someone hugs him, sweetly calling, "Husband." At first, he thinks it's amusing. Stealing that man's beloved dao companion and watching him suffer would be so much fun. Later, he offers her his true heart, willingly becoming that man's substitute.
