After Saving the Villain, the Goddess Ran Away

Chun Xu was a good-for-nothing goddess who hid whenever she saw someone and ran whenever trouble arose. She would have carried on with this survival strategy to the very end, if not for one thing...

A mortal boy whose identity was a mystery died because of her.

Only then did the goddess realize her mistakes. She resolved to descend to the mortal realm and save the boy in his next life.

The good news: She found the mortal boy without a hitch and became the person closest to him.

The bad news: The poor little thing was reborn as a little madman. He was always carrying a knife, trying to slit her throat, digging countless traps for her behind her back, and counting down the days until she died.

The sky was falling.

But Chun Xu thought none of that mattered!

So...

When he was cold, she eagerly brought him warmer clothes.

When he was angry, she spoke gently to him.

When he was poisoned, she was more frantic than anyone.

The hateful thing was, the little madman didn't appreciate it!

After surviving one deadly calamity after another, the little madman still wore a sour expression.

She finally gave up: "Whoever wants to wait on you can do it. I'm done!"

The night she went on strike, the little madman stubbornly waited outside her door all night. Snow and wind covered him, the cold pierced to the bone, and his otherwise calm eyes seemed to hold a trace of grievance.

She thought: So even madmen have hearts.

Xiao Tingyan struggled to get by in the palace, branded a harbinger of disaster. Yet that foolish palace maid never once looked down on his lowly status.

Her bright eyes flickered, stirring his long-dormant heart.

"I'll always stay by your side."

He had always been timid and gloomy, like an evil spirit hiding in the dark. At last, he seized that ray of light that belonged to him.

Just as he was willingly ready to give up everything, asking only to spend his life with her...

The innocent girl was branded a demoness by the world and was about to be sacrificed.

He rushed there with all his might, only to watch helplessly as she vanished before his eyes in a wisp of white smoke.

That day, blood filled the sky, and the boy, driven mad, slaughtered his way through the crowd.

*

The boy ascended the throne and became emperor, cruel and violent. The world feared and dreaded him.

No one knew that through countless lonely, endless nights, the emperor sat alone, gazing obsessively at a portrait of a beautiful woman, sleepless until dawn.

"They say you're a demoness, but I too am a harbinger of disaster.

A demoness and a harbinger of disaster: a perfect match."

He thought he had lost her for good.

Until one day, the figure he had yearned for day and night appeared before him again.

She was a beautiful concubine presented to him by his ministers. Her figure was graceful, and her face was just as it had been before.

The young woman trembled all over and knelt in submission, pleading only for the emperor's favor.

Desire repressed for years robbed him of reason. Mistaking this moment for a dream granted by heaven, he drew the woman into his arms while drunk and murmured, "Please, stay by my side."

[Marriage First, Love Later + Farming + Everyday Family Life]

Ji Qian transmigrated from a small business owner on the verge of entrepreneurial success into a pitiful village layabout who lived off others. To her surprise, as a woman living alone, she became a tempting prize in everyone's eyes.

The village bachelors eagerly courted her, and the matchmakers nearly wore out her doorstep.

Ji Qian thought about it all night and finally came up with the perfect excuse.

The next day, a notice was posted on a low wall beside the busy streets in town:

"The Ji family is seeking a husband for Ji Qian. The man must be good-looking, virtuous, and good at managing a household. As long as you become my rock and help me rise to success, I will repay you with ten million taels of gold!"

As soon as the notice went up, all the men who had been interested in her scattered in the blink of an eye.

Late that night, just as she was congratulating herself, a handsome man covered in blood stumbled into her home, looking like a stray dog and bringing the night's icy chill with him.

Ji Qian stared at him, practically drooling.

As the illegitimate son of a concubine, Gu Min was never acknowledged by his father. After finally being accepted into the family, he became the "murderer" of his stepmother.

The abuse and accusations from everyone left him with nowhere to turn. With the authorities pursuing him, he had no choice but to flee to Qi County.

Under the dark night sky, desperate, he chose the most remote village and pushed open the gate of its shabbiest courtyard.

"Miss, may I stay the night? I'll leave at dawn."

The young woman inside smiled brightly, her beautiful, clever eyes reflecting his helplessness.

"You can't stay the night, but you can marry me."

He had just escaped the tiger's jaws, only to fall into the wolf's den.

Bound hand and foot and forced to sign a marriage contract, Gu Min was wreathed in murderous intent...

It seemed another life was about to be added to his hands.

But after being forced into marriage, he increasingly felt that this young woman had him wrapped around her little finger.

When she smiled, his spirits lifted too.

When she cried, his heart broke as if he were about to weep.

He began to look forward to every day spent with her, only to hear her ask for a divorce.

"I don't want to hold you back. Let's get a divorce."

The last thread of restraint in his heart snapped.

"You were the one who started this. Now you want to dump me? Not a chance!"

--

At first, Ji Qian had only been drawn to Gu Min's good looks.

But unexpectedly, he could do everything. He was good at guarding the house, catching chickens, and herding ducks. On top of that, he was an excellent cook.

When she was starving, a bowl of hot soup her husband had made especially for her sat on the table. She sipped it slowly, the delicious flavor lingering on her tongue as its warmth soothed her tired heart.

She turned to look at the man busy working inside the house, tears glimmering in her eyes.

"It's so good to have a home."
