Turning the Villain into a Servant

Zhi Luo transmigrated into a book. A System appeared in her mind: [Congratulations! You have been given the chance to be reborn! Please complete the tasks issued by the System, ] [Take advantage of the villain while he is still weak, win him over, and stop him from destroying the world.] Before her, a ragged, badly injured boy lay dying in the snow. Even so, he forced himself to glare at her viciously, making one last desperate attempt to survive. So Zhi Luo had no choice but to take away his ability to hurt her. She let golden threads seep into his flesh and bones, giving her complete control over him. The villain became her very unusual puppet, and this was how she would stop him from destroying the world. The System's face was full of shock: [???] What on earth had it bound itself to!? Zhi Luo ordered the boy to do the laundry and cook, and to gather supplies and valuables. She really did treat him like a servant, occasionally feeding him, listening to his opinions, keeping her promises, and raising him very seriously, almost like a little dog. She also dumped all the socializing she disliked on him. He would usually smile and carry out every task perfectly. Although he had to obey her, the boy wasn't beaten or oppressed. Instead, he lived an ordinary servant's life and was even allowed to cultivate. Yan Fengyao: “...Actually, when we first met, you didn't take my life or treat me like an animal. That alone counts as being kind.” Zhi Luo ignored him: staring into space.jpg “...” Yan Fengyao nodded. “I understand. I will become your most powerful... puppet.” System: [?] System: [...You've been his servant, his dad, and his mom. How can you still think that? Is there something wrong with your brain!] * It wasn't until Zhi Luo met the original story's hero and heroine that the System finally understood what an abnormal thought process was, and what truly impressive interpretive skills looked like. Even more terrifying, the mission was completed in the end. System: I'm numb. *The heroine is straightforward, single-minded, and very clueless. To be clear, her previous life was spent in a different environment, and she had never been out in the wider world. She doesn't understand emotions or social niceties, and she doesn't have the empathy most people do. She doesn't fit into the world she transmigrated into, and she won't be assimilated later, either. If you can't accept this characterization, please don't read. *I never said this was a sweet romance where both sides love each other equally. I just like writing a hero who loves the heroine more, with his feelings far outweighing hers. If you need the heroine to be deeply in love too, to love him just as much, or to constantly “repay” him, this isn't the story for you. We're not a match. *The heroine enters the book in her own body. This isn't a strong-female-lead plot-driven story, just an ordinary BG romance. It is BG, BG, BG, so please don't derail the comments. *The hero and heroine have pretty different ways of thinking and worldviews, so read with caution. *Please don't mention other stories in the comments, or mention me in other stories qwq I may delete those comments. Thank you, everyone qwq *I may revise the text and wording. Some plot details may change, so please refer to the revised version. The official edition is on Jinjiang. Piracy readers, please don't bother me. My upcoming story, “When an NPC Is Secretly Loved by a Puppet Monster,” can be found on my profile. Give it a look~ After Ning Tao died, she became an NPC in a school level of a reincarnation game. She had no special abilities; her job was to serve as background scenery and scream once in a while. The level's final boss was her classmate, Wu Zhan. The boy had thick black hair, and whenever he smiled shyly at her, his cheeks were always flushed. Ning Tao: Pretending to read, actually spacing out.jpg * After the players failed once again, the NPCs eaten by Wu Zhan turned into dolls and came rushing over, giggling. Amid their shrill laughter, the Boss's head suddenly grew enormous. He slowly opened his mouth. This time, he became a reverse-rewinding mechanical slaughterhouse, swallowing everyone whole as his gears crunched and ground flesh and blood. As despairing screams filled the air, Ning Tao put away her game console and slid into the Boss's mouth along with her desk and chair. The first time she was eaten, she struggled and cried. The second time, she sobbed nonstop... But now? Ning Tao: I'm used to it.jpg The level reset once again. Every time Wu Zhan swallowed the girl he had a crush on, his deathly pale face would turn red. Unable to help himself, he specially made a stomach pouch to keep the girl he had eaten safe. His enormous eyes would often linger secretly on the pouch's surface as he watched her rummage around inside. He waited quietly for the next time they would meet. And Ning Tao: Where's my game console? Searching.jpg *The story takes place in a single level, but there's almost no puzzle-solving. It's just an ordinary romance. *Everyday slice-of-life, BG. Please don't derail the comments. *The heroine is an ordinary person, not strong. Theme: Become independent and strong, and love and respect yourself before you seek romance.
