Turning a Horror Novel into a Redemption Story

[The cover was gifted by my beloved bestie @Lang Kong Yise. Love her!]

Shen You transmigrates into a sweet little romance novel, becoming a supporting female character whose tragic ending is mentioned as part of the backstory for the villainous boss's descent into darkness.

When she transmigrates into the book, the original owner has already confessed to the young villain.

When Ji Zhujin was young, he was disabled, poor, and disfigured.

Outsiders are green with envy that someone as beautiful, rich, and privileged as the original owner would fall for him. Only Shen You knows that the original owner isn't sincere. It is all a carefully planned trap meant to humiliate him.

In the novel, Ji Zhujin's early experiences lead him to turn evil.

After transmigrating into the book, Shen You watches the boy in a faded white shirt, all thin and bony, his fingers unnaturally pale from malnutrition and anemia. He calmly wipes the red paint off the desk, then takes the torn-up books out of the drawer and skillfully glues them back together.

One side of his face is as exquisite as jade; the other is covered in terrifying scars.

Shen You is furious.

No wonder the villain turns evil. Who could go through all that and not turn evil?

Without hesitation, Shen You betrays the original owner and her group of awful friends. She earnestly tries to save the poor boy and steer him onto the right path.

Shen You doesn't know.

In the original story, the original owner, whose fate is summed up in the words "a tragic ending," dies on the seventh day after giving Ji Zhujin a love letter.

She falls from the roof of the school building, her body shattered beyond recognition.

Endless Nightmare is hailed as the hardest horror game in history.

They say that players enter the game and find themselves in a city shrouded in blood-red mist, surrounded and devoured by countless ghosts and monsters.

It connects to infinite worlds, yet no one has ever cleared it.

No one knows that the game's boss is a thin, destitute high school boy with a limp.

He sits in an inconspicuous corner, eyes lowered, black hair hiding his face.

He silently bears the city's twisted malice.

Day after day, year after year, without end.

Until Shen You appears.

"You're so dumb," a passing ghost says to Ji Zhujin one day. "We can't eat human food."

The boy, whom Shen You is feeding, lifts his eyelids, revealing a pale face. He is expressionless, with a churning sea of blood behind him.

"You're too noisy."

It is always raining in the city, seemingly without warning.

The blood-red rain and mist corrode buildings and bring countless dangers and horrors.

Then one day, the blood-red rain suddenly tastes like tomato and egg stir-fry.

People struggling to survive in the instances: ???

The city, trying its best to digest this but still unable to accept it: ...

You little punk. So high and mighty, so amazing. You start dating someone and I suffer the backlash!!

After they fall in love, Shen You thinks her beloved is perfect.

She has just one small grievance: every one of Ji Zhujin's personalities falls in love with her, but the tokens of affection they give her are all so strange.

Ji Zhujin gives her an urn filled with his own ashes;

His second personality gives her a bloodstained hairpin;

His seventh personality gives her a bloody, still-beating heart.

A rumor gradually spreads through Endless Nightmare.

That seemingly delicate big shot is actually cruel and ruthless. Every man who has ever dated her is dead, and she carries their pitiful belongings with her wherever she goes.

Sacrificing your boyfriend to the heavens makes you all-powerful.jpg

A huge, monstrous eyeball watches from the blood mist. The city's consciousness laughs mockingly:

"That monster has nothing but a pile of shattered flesh in his chest. What could he possibly use to love you?"

At that, Shen You can't help looking at the "belongings" of her beloved laid out behind her: ?

[Jiying Experimental High School * The gloomy, taciturn, disfigured boy boss]

[Red-and-White Ancient Town * The cruel, fun-loving ghost bride]

[Screaming Amusement Park * The deranged, gleefully murderous white clown]

[Central Psychiatric Sanatorium * The refined scumbag doctor]

[Alien Species Menagerie * The keeper and his monsters]

#It's a redemption story, but the setting has changed from a sweet romance to a horror story, so it's a little different

#The balance of romance and plot is uncertain, so please consider before buying

#But there will definitely be a plot, because this started out as a story about a soft-hearted girl crying while fighting monsters
