Don't Covet the Beautiful NPC [Infinite]

[The third arc is complete. Those of you who like to binge-read can dig in!] After Luo Ruan completed his mission to save a villain who had turned evil, he left the quick transmigration worlds. But when he opened his eyes, he found himself back in the first quick transmigration world: a melodramatic wealthy-family story about a real and fake young master. Only... Something about this world seemed wrong. The mirror in his room inexplicably began to bleed. The doll by his bed let out a shrill laugh in the middle of the night. His parents, brother, and the servants at home kept staring at him with strange looks. Even the villain he had won over, the housekeeper's son and the real young master, seemed to look at him strangely... Luo Ruan, who had only ever taken one trip away from home in his life, to a civilized and harmonious quick transmigration world, was so frightened that his little face turned pale and his eyes reddened. A fake young master in a melodramatic wealthy family inexplicably becomes an NPC in a haunted mansion. A gifted, impoverished student at a prestigious school becomes a pretty little rabbit hunted for sport at a haunted school. A volunteer teacher sent to the countryside becomes the sacrificial bride of a ghost village. A pretty face in the entertainment industry goes on a scripted dating show that turns into a survival dating show. A weak, helpless, beautiful young emperor of a fallen kingdom is forced to survive a sinister palace love triangle. After much difficulty, Luo Ruan adjusted his mindset and accepted this terrifying reality. Trembling with fear, he faithfully played his NPC role in these familiar yet uncanny worlds. But he didn't notice the gazes fixed on him from behind, filled with bottomless malice and desire... * Players of infinite-flow games suddenly discovered that the particularly beautiful, innocent-looking NPC in the new instance seemed to have an unusual relationship with the instance's Boss. The main thing was, he looked so easy to "bully," and wicked thoughts began to stir... Yet even as they lay dying, they still didn't know which urban-legend rule they'd triggered when they met the Boss's icy eyes in the dark. * In the barren darkness, the evil spirit before him and every human figure vanished without a trace. Luo Ruan stood alone, trembling, his legs weak. At last, the tears welling in his eyes slipped down his cheeks. Then a cold embrace, carrying a faintly familiar presence, suddenly closed around him from behind. Shang Ji lowered his head and kissed the red mole on the snowy-white earlobe he had longed for day and night. His chilling voice seemed to come from the abyss. "Xiao Ruan, this time, I won't let you escape again..." * The gods' kindness will never descend upon this realm. But you will. [Born in darkness, dying and being reborn through endless malice, the evil god sacrificed himself and finally called back his god and beloved.] [Imprisoned in a glass cage, the dying, fragile crystal flower finds a way to live amid the darkness.] [Reading Guide] 1.

Cong Lan was originally a small rain lily growing in a roadside flower bed. He was weak and helpless, but could understand human speech. One day, he nearly died beneath someone's shoe, until a schoolboy passing by saved him. From then on, Cong Lan watched the boy ride by every day, wearing a white school uniform and black headphones, his lonely back never changing. Then one day, the boy stopped appearing. Year after year, Cong Lan waited for him, but the boy never returned. Cong Lan, however, turned into a human. Cong Lan: The first thing I should do after becoming human is repay his kindness! He just never imagined that when they met again, it would be behind bars... In the interrogation room, criminal investigation captain Qin Yanzhou asked coldly, "Fraud? Are you an adult?" Cong Lan, a genuine little white flower trembling in the wind, replied, "I didn't! I never did! I'm an ad-adult... I think?" At what age do humans become adults again? QAQ Qin Yanzhou: "Did you come to turn yourself in?" Cong Lan shook his head, entirely serious. "I came to repay you. You saved me, so I can... I can..." Qin Yanzhou raised an eyebrow, his gaze stern. "I advise you to confess and receive a lighter sentence." "...Give you my hand in marriage!" * Later, Qin Yanzhou, who had taken him home on a whim, sat in the living room flipping through Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. He said casually, "The traditional way for you spirits to repay a kindness seems to be offering yourself in marriage, doesn't it?" Beside him, Cong Lan typed away at his keyboard, eyes fixed on his graduate thesis without blinking. "That was in the old days. Humans and spirits are reproductively incompatible. It's a new era with new ideas. You should read more and keep up with..." Qin Yanzhou tossed his book aside and tackled him onto the sofa.
