The Consequences of Mistaking the Black Lotus Male Lead

I'm sorry, my dear readers. When I was writing this book, it was graduation season, and I had a lot to deal with. Before long, my inspiration had worn away. I've been revising and polishing this book for over a month, but I still have no idea where to take it, and the original inspiration is gone. I have severe OCD, and seeing this unfinished story was too much to bear, so I can only bring it to an abrupt end. I'll keep some of the ideas and character concepts and rewrite it in the future. I'm truly sorry!

Hua Luoqing, a retiree who transmigrated into a book, was choosing a world where she could enjoy her retirement when the System suddenly encountered a small glitch.

Instead of becoming a carefree farmer in a farming world, she transmigrated into a power fantasy novel called If I Destroy the World, where she became a cannon-fodder Demon Lord who disguised herself as a man.

According to the novel's plot, the Demon Lord keeps the male lead by her side while he's still an innocent young man, then torments him with all sorts of cruel kinks, until he finally gets his revenge by flaying and dismembering her.

Then the System suffers another tiny glitch, and everything after that in the novel turns into garbled text. Hua Luoqing can't find out what happens next, or even who the male lead is.

When Hua Luoqing hears the news, she says to the System: What the hell~%?…;# *’☆&℃$︿★? [garbled text]

After observing them for many days, she has come up with three possible candidates for the male lead: the young guardian she just trained, the righteous young cultivator she kidnapped, and her sweet, soft-spoken little disciple.

To avoid offending the male lead and keep herself alive, Hua Luoqing decides to treat all three of them with the utmost care.

When the guardian is injured by the righteous sect, Hua Luoqing stays up day and night to treat him.

When the young righteous cultivator wants to go home, Hua Luoqing personally escorts him and deliberately lets him injure her, giving him experience points to level up.

This batch of male leads is so hard to handle. Only the little disciple is free of worldly desires, following her around every day and whimpering. Hua Luoqing's job is to comfort him each day.

Before long, the name of her sweet little disciple is crossed off Hua Luoqing's list of villains. Meanwhile, the young guardian gradually reveals his greed and ambition, and the young cultivator becomes a pillar of the righteous path.

At this point, the System encourages Hua Luoqing: [Dear Host, the male lead has to be one of those two!]

Soon, one of the male leads she chose, the young guardian, joins forces with the demons to rebel and seize power from her. The shining star of the righteous path, the young cultivator, rallies the great sects against her and demands that she surrender.

But what she never expected was that the disciple who used to be as meek as a little rabbit would slay ten thousand demons with a single sword and drive off the sects that came looking for trouble. Her once obedient and innocent little disciple finally bares his claws: “Why do you care so much for everyone else, but never show me any affection, Master?”

System: [Hey, Host, are you there? The System's had another little accident...]

Hua Luoqing: Let it all burn. I'm done with this!

Reader's Guide:

1. The heroine disguises herself as a man. Until her identity is revealed, everyone else thinks she's a man.

2. The little disciple is the male lead! He knows the heroine's gender from the start. Don't ask why: the male lead graduated from a school of gentlemanly virtue.

3. The cover character was drawn by an artist from the Bishui forum. Many thanks! This blurb is provisional as of [2022.4.28]. I'll add more if I think of anything.

Theme: Care for others in the right way.
