The Villain Who'll Be Wooed Is My Childhood Friend

[My first novel, and my rookie flaws are very obvious. Thank you to all the sweet angels who have supported me. New readers, proceed with caution.]

Yu Que is a nobody in Zhongzhou’s pursuit of the Dao, with no particular likes or dislikes. Her greatest wish is to find the culprit who wiped out the entire Yu clan of Dongzhou and avenge her mother.

She lives her quiet life until she hears Yan Qiongchi’s name again.

After he gets entangled with her, Yu Que is forced to remember more of her past with Yan Qiongchi. On the surface, the guy is a gentle young man, clear and pristine as jade, whose smile is like the breezy warmth of May. But underneath, he is rotten to the core, and his past is a complete mess.

Yu Que promptly backs away. No touching. If you ask, she doesn’t know him.

Yu Que once hated Yan Qiongchi. Or rather, she hated that dark period of her life.

After the entire Yu clan was wiped out, she lived like a stray dog beneath the shadow of the Yan clan. Her thin friendship with Yan Qiongchi was nothing more than two unwanted puppies huddling together for warmth.

On a rain-soaked night of brutal slaughter, the young boy took her hand and fled.

He carved a bloody path through a thousand miles, all to give her a chance to live.

But from that point on, whatever he chose to do was none of her concern.

Don’t care. Don’t think about it. Just live with revenge as your purpose.

Yet as she headed toward her death, Yan Qiongchi was willing to destroy himself just to keep her alive.

“Fate is hard to escape. I’m not afraid of dying. I’m only afraid you’ll die.”

His tears fell into Yu Que’s heart.

But there was no longer a young man in this world who looked at her with a bright smile.

And she could no longer call out the name of the boy who had always answered her every plea.

*

In Yan Qiongchi’s desolate life, hatred burned like a raging fire.

He meticulously set a trap capable of killing everyone, making all of Zhongzhou tremble. The world called him a monster, again and again. Only a girl just as gloomy as he was told him:

“If you absolutely need a reason to live, why not love me?”

He didn’t need the sun to drive away the darkness in his heart. It would be enough if that little fish would carry the moon in its mouth and drop into this shallow pond.

1. The heroine is weak in the early part of the story and a nobody in the original novel. Later, she becomes a villain for good reason. Like the hero, she is an antagonist, but they belong to different sides.

2. No rivalry between women. Slow burn.

3. The original novel’s native heroine and the transmigrated supporting heroine help each other.

Theme: Being stubborn causes harm. Facing your true feelings is the answer.
