The Villain Turned Dark After I Saved Him

[Coming soon on my profile: After the Sword Spirit Defected to Her Nemesis. Please add it to your reading list!]

Novel blurb

The Demon Lord Huai Lang was born with demonic blood. He was cruel and brutal by nature, and committed a massacre as a child. After growing up, he became a great villain everyone was desperate to avoid.

But no one knew that his childhood had been full of hardship. Everyone hated, beat, and humiliated him. His mother even begged for a restriction to be placed on him to prevent him from harming others. Whenever he felt the urge to kill, he would suffer the agony of a thousand arrows piercing his heart and his flesh being flayed from his bones.

Ming Yi transmigrated into a book, arriving just before the demon's corruption began.

Following the System's guidance, she saved the boy with the sinister gaze.

She set his broken bones, healed his injuries, repaired his spiritual core, kept him safe, and helped him cultivate, hoping only that he would attain the Dao and ascend as soon as possible.

Then one day, the long-vanished System suddenly came back to life: You saved the wrong person! The real male lead is someone else. It turns out you saved the original novel's villain, who destroys the world and is cruel and merciless.

The villain had always been good at pretending and knew how to keep his head down.

Ming Yi decided to fake her death and run away.

But she didn't get away completely.

The great villain she had saved followed in her footsteps and jumped off the cliff too. Afterward, he swept across the Demon Realm and razed the immortal mountains, seeking a way to bring her back to life. He even dug out his heart to fill the spirit formation, all to find traces of her.

Later, they did meet again, but the beloved person at her side was now a handsome young man with sharp brows and bright eyes.

In that moment, the villain understood.

So the person she wanted to protect had never been him.

It struck his heart like a blade.

He laughed wildly, staggering as he tried to turn away, but his feet felt rooted to the ground.

He realized he didn't care at all. Those who live in darkness cannot be without light. Once someone has seen the light and tasted warmth, they will give rise to endless delusions and a shameful desire to possess.

[Bonus scene]

The young man trapped in the dungeon glared red-eyed and shouted curses at the Demon Lord below, dressed in black with his collar hanging open.

But the other man didn't even deign to look at him. He silenced him instantly with his aura.

Then he carefully climbed onto the jade bed, his expression revealing a trace of nervousness and ingratiation.

He slowly approached the stunning woman in the corner, his voice full of grievance. “Senior Sister, what is it about me that's not as good as him?”

“Or do you want to... try it first?”

Coming soon on my profile: After the Sword Spirit Defected to Her Nemesis

Yan Shi'an, who only cared about seeking immortality and never asked about worldly affairs, had been troubled lately. His contracted sword spirit seemed to have awakened?

All day long, it rambled about being reborn and changing the fate of “the sword shattering and the spirit perishing.” It looked at him with judgment and disdain, called him a scumbag, repeatedly ignored him, and often disappeared. When it did come back, it was only to get “a little snack.”

But the worst was yet to come. For reasons unknown, it ran all over the courtyard wearing his underwear.

In the end, it also caused him to lose a certain masculine function. And when he and his nemesis were both injured, it decisively chose to take care of his nemesis.

His nemesis had nothing else going for him, except that he was handsome, with the cold, aloof bearing of biting ice and snow. He would rather break than bend, and when he occasionally smiled, it was like the demure rise of a hazy moon, making people fall hopelessly in love.

He suspected his little sword spirit had fallen in love, but Bai Zhuozhuo, the usually loud and brash sword spirit, only blinked innocently. “In my previous life, I helped you cultivate and protected your path to the heavens, but my ending was miserable. Someone gathered my broken pieces and carefully placed them against his chest. Now that I've awakened in this life, what's wrong with that?!”

It was like a heavy hammer striking Yan Shi'an in the heart. He was consumed by jealousy and regret, but couldn't stop the little sword spirit from running off with his nemesis.

Before leaving, it even said something like, “I'm very happy, don't @ me.”

He was furious enough to cough up blood. Who cares?!

-

At first, Weng Yuchen thought there was nothing wrong with being born under an ill-starred fate, without love or attachment.

Until the little sword spirit he had always followed with his eyes turned back to look at him in this life.

The boy's once-calm eyes were more turbulent than mountains and rivers. His body suddenly burst with suppressed longing. He wanted to sink into ruin with her, sail together, stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods, and forge a path to the heavens.
