The Lazy Mouse Still Doesn't Want to Woo the Big Bad Today

Mu Liu'er is a hamster spirit: timid, pitiful, and always hungry.

She ends up in the body of a righteous sect's eldest daughter, entrusted with a great responsibility.

The System says she has to win over the young, not-yet-powerful villainous demon and keep him from getting any ideas about destroying the world.

In the end, she has to die young and become his unforgettable lost love, paving the way for the righteous path to defeat the great villain.

Mu Liu'er is conflicted. She doesn't want to die young.

The System sends her to the great villain's place of imprisonment.

The great villain has endured cruel punishment. The young man is bound by layers of seals and shackles, his black hair tied high with a red cord, his scarlet eyes full of mockery.

Looking at his wounds, Mu Liu'er decides to complete only half the mission, fooling the System while keeping the villain placated. That way, everyone wins.

The great villain is injured, so she has to bring him spirit fruit.

Mu Liu'er carefully gives him only half a fruit. “You only get this one, okay? I can't give you any more.”

But the great villain is unreasonable. “What if I want all of it?”

Before Mu Liu'er can finish refusing, the great villain smiles thinly, his eyes cold. “If you don't give it to me, I'll kill you.”

Mu Liu'er immediately caves. “F-fine, it's all yours.”

The great villain has a tragic past. She ought to smile warmly and comfort him, telling him that this is his home.

Mu Liu'er thinks it over for a long time. “You can sleep in my bed for one night. That's all.”

But the great villain gives her a peculiar look. “You're giving me something you've used?”

Before Mu Liu'er can say never mind, the great villain shamelessly adds, “If I kill you, it'll be ownerless.”

Mu Liu'er: “I-I'll give you everything!”

The great villain returns to his old domain. She ought to urge him to do good.

Mu Liu'er thinks it over. “Could you maybe spare the people who have nothing to do with this?”

The great villain looks pleased. “Sure. You can kill them.”

Mu Liu'er shakily picks up a knife. The great villain smiles kindly. “Drop it and I'll kill you.”

Mu Liu'er: QAQ

Extra scene:

Xie Xingci was born cursed and locked away in Demon-Slaying Continent from birth, enduring scorn and contempt.

He is utterly evil and vicious, twisted and unstable, his moods impossible to predict.

Everyone wants to get rid of him, except Mu Liu'er.

He draws her into his territory and learns to act kind the way she likes.

She doesn't like killing, so he hides his blades. She doesn't like demons, so he destroys his meridians and digs out his bones to replace his marrow.

But later, she says she's going to leave.

That day, flames spread from the Demon Realm across all eighteen continents.

Xie Xingci's scarlet eyes are stained with blood, his exquisite beauty like a red lotus blooming in hellfire.

His face is full of unconcealed, manic delight. “It's fine. I'll lock you up, and then you won't be able to go anywhere.”
