After Failing to Win Over the Villain

Winning over the villain Xie Wuyi was a mission nobody wanted from the Space-Time Bureau.

As a rookie, Yu Zhining became the unlucky sucker who took it on, thanks to the System’s enthusiastic recommendation.

The System wept with joy: We’re giving you 100 chances to come back to life! You can do it! Change him with love! As long as the villain doesn’t cause trouble, the little world won’t collapse!

Yu Zhining: Okay... Wait? 100 chances to come back to life?!

What kind of person takes 100 chances to win over?!

The great villain Xie Wuyi was a born madman. He was born with strange features, silver hair and gray eyes, and had a volatile temperament, swinging unpredictably between joy and anger. Beneath his handsome, refined exterior lay a core of madness and brutality. When he went on a rampage, he would even slaughter his own people. There was nothing in this world he cared about.

Recently, he met someone named Yu Zhining.

She was so fake, and clearly up to something. She was obviously afraid of him, yet would nervously treat him well. No matter what he did, she would keep following him.

The interesting thing was, she couldn’t die. Or rather, even if she did, she could come back to life.

He had never cared whether she lived or died, and couldn’t remember how many times she had died.

Until

Xie Wuyi stepped over a ground strewn with corpses and found the person who was always following him. Looking at her motionless body on the ground, he called out casually, “Get up.”

But she didn’t get back up as she always had.

“Didn’t you hear me?” His voice trembled faintly, though he himself didn’t notice, as he called again, “Get up.”

The only response was her corpse growing colder and stiffer.

He felt something inside him crack.

After dying for good and returning to the Space-Time Bureau, Yu Zhining was lying flat at home when she heard that the great villain Xie Wuyi had awakened to his own consciousness and discovered the secret that the world would keep restarting. He was now frantically destroying the little world over and over again. The Space-Time Bureau was running low on the energy it used to restart the world, so it had no choice but to negotiate.

Xie Wuyi made only one demand: Yu Zhining.

When Yu Zhining returned, the land was covered in corpses and the world was a scene of utter devastation, devoid of life, like the hell of the Eightfold Blazing Flames.

When he saw her, Xie Wuyi’s empty eyes came alive again. He stroked her face with blood-covered hands, smiling tenderly.

“I’ve found you again.”

Yu Zhining: Do I look like an easy mark to you? :)

[Reading Guide]

① This isn’t a healing redemption story about changing a villain with love. It’s simply a story about an evil spirit willingly restraining himself for love.

② This is not a story with an ultra-powerful female lead. The heroine isn’t very strong; she’s a timid, soft girl who’s extremely into good looks. If that’s not your thing, read with caution.

③ The male lead is a crazy, obsessive yandere, and his mind is very, very, very abnormal. Don’t judge him by normal standards. He’s no good, so run if you can’t handle that.
