As the Villain, I Keep Dying Over and Over

I'm a villain.

Villains come in different ranks.

Unfortunately, I'm a cannon-fodder villain.

Still, a bit of cannon fodder like me was actually granted the honor of being killed by the protagonist himself.

I was killed 106 times, too.

Two more times and I'd have matched the number of those brothers from Liangshan.

Who cares? Before the protagonist killed me, I made sure to humiliate him every time! I did my best to fulfill my duties as a villain!

But... by the twelfth time, I'd already started to lie flat. Even when fate made me humiliate him, I just lay flat.

After all, the world is so beautiful. Why get hung up on all the grudges between me and the protagonist?

So I thought, researched, and experimented.

After trying countless paths laid out by fate and still failing to escape the death ending where the protagonist killed me, I made a solemn decision. I made it before my hundredth death, too:

To finish off that damned Child of Destiny! To fulfill my duties in earnest!

And then, seduce him!!!

Reader's Guide:

1. First-person narration.

2. The male lead is the protagonist.

3. The story unfolds gradually. Don't jump to conclusions about the ending. A complete story has causes and consequences.

4. HE.

5. Love-hate relationship (?) Mutual devotion (?) Sweet with a touch of angst (?)

6. I'll write seriously. Read as you please, and run at once if anything makes you uncomfortable.

7. No updates unless I write them myself. This may be a short story or a medium-length one.

Theme: A free soul can never be confined
