So You Really Die If You Don't Romance the Villain?

A snarky, goofy heroine x a gentle, unhinged major villain

Lin Wan wakes up inside the hit xianxia novel A Sword to Save the World.

"This time, you'll play Di Zhi and win over the major villain, Bai Zhi. Succeed, and you can return to the real world."

Lin Wan: I don't believe you.

Don't villains always get a happy ending as soon as you win them over?

So she slacks off all the way.

A long sword glides nimbly through the clouds, carrying two people. The man on the sword asks gently, "Is flying on a sword exhilarating?"

Lin Wan pushes Bai Zhi's wildly whipping hair off her face and answers weakly, "I think... I'm getting sword-sick... Ugh."

On the day of the immortal banquet

Inside Yue Zhi Hall, the man stands expressionless before a mirror for a long time, then finally gives a sinister smile. "Is this how you tie your hair?"

Lin Wan looks at the exquisite face in front of her, topped with a lopsided bun, and can't help bursting out laughing.

It isn't until she hears the System's warning, "Target's affection has dropped to -200. Life-threatening danger!"

Lin Wan stands at the border of the Heavenly Realm, with a bottomless abyss below.

The man in white is breathtakingly beautiful. He reaches out gently with a warm smile on his lips. "You should just die."

Huh???

She grabs his hand with both of hers. "Heavenly Venerable, I think there's still hope for me."

After finally paying off her debt and seeing the affection bar start to climb back into positive territory,

Lin Wan eagerly asks the System what other tasks it has for her.

The System looks troubled. "The author of this book abandoned it, so from now on, you'll have to manage on your own..."

Useless System! I want to go home!

After completing her mission and retiring, Lin Wan sits on her living room sofa, clutching a milk tea. A pang of guilt strikes her: she wonders what will happen over there after she successfully escapes.

Almost at that very moment, the doorbell rings.

"Who's there?" She runs to open the door.

The man's white clothes are splattered with blood, and his long sword points at the ground. He gives her a gentle smile. "Turns out, if I kill the System too, I can come here."

*Reader's Guide:

1. Not a strong heroine story! Not a power fantasy! The heroine grows over time.

2. The hero is unhinged. There is no 'good triumphs over evil' plotline, okay? And it won't end well.

3. A sweet story, pure goofy fun. Don't take it too seriously!
