His Elaborate Scheme

This is a short story, complete at 30,000 words.

Blurb:

That day was supposed to be his younger brother's wedding day. But after the bride and groom completed the ceremony, a knife inexplicably plunged into the bride's abdomen.

Everyone stared at him in shock.

His eyes lowered. To his horror, he saw blood dripping from his hand!

Only later did he realize that he had been plotting all of this for a long time.

Next up: I Shower the Villainous Yandere with Love. Blurb:

Jiang Yingli transmigrated into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder master in an old-fashioned xianxia novel.

In other people's books, masters were elegant and aloof, bright as the moon, with the bearing of an immortal who didn't know how beautiful he was.

But "he" was deceitful and treacherous, ugly within and consumed by jealousy. In his desire for a shortcut to power, he even sought to cultivate with his disciple, the "male lead"!

At that moment, his hands were pressing down on the male lead's chest as the latter struggled desperately. The next step was to tear his clothes off!

Jiang Yingli: ?

Could he still let go in time?

He didn't want the male lead to hold a grudge over this and grind his bones to dust!

*

After that attempted assault, Jiang Yingli kept his distance from the male lead and focused his attention on another disciple, Gu Jing.

If "he" was cannon fodder, then Gu Jing was a villainous menace, the kind that threatened all of mankind.

Jiang Yingli loved peace and disliked fighting, so he decided to teach Gu Jing properly and guide the villain onto the right path.

Seeing Gu Jing practicing diligently in the snow and wind, his fair little face red from the cold, yet his sword dance never stopping,

Jiang Yingli took a fox-fur cloak and draped it over him.

Gu Jing turned around in surprise, then smiled sweetly. "Thank you, Master."

He was just like a well-behaved little candy bunny!

*

The candy bunny was so good and so lovable that Jiang Yingli couldn't help doting on him. Before long, he thought his plans were about to come to fruition.

Until one day, he was drugged with something unspeakable and leaped into a cold pool, hoping to suppress the heat in his body.

But then a burning-hot chest pressed against his back.

Jiang Yingli flew into a rage and was about to lash out, only for Gu Jing to pin him forcefully against the hard stone wall.

A madness he'd never shown before appeared on Gu Jing's face. "Why can Senior Brother, but I can't?"

"Didn't Master love me best?"

"I've been waiting a long time for this day."

Jiang Yingli: "..."

The candy bunny had turned evil and become a black bunny. Jiang Yingli was on the verge of tears. Had he raised the bunny all wrong?!
