After I Used and Abandoned the Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Protagonist

Tao Zhu transmigrates into a male-oriented superpower novel where the protagonist is put through endless suffering, becoming its villainous Saintess.

The original owner could cultivate by collecting emotional points. Later, she joined the villains and helped them commit evil, only to die at the hands of the vengeful protagonist.

After transmigrating, Tao Zhu quickly escapes the evil cult, hides her identity, and starts making money so she can achieve financial freedom and retire early.

One day, she encounters a badly wounded man in a forbidden zone. She leads him out and reunites him with his teammates, only to learn that he is Yan Senluo, the protagonist of the novel.

His entire family was brutally murdered by the villains, his superpowers have turned his body into something barely human, every breakthrough leaves him in unbearable agony, and every day he is either getting hurt or on his way to getting hurt.

Tao Zhu: ...As expected of the protagonist of a story built around tormenting its hero. He still hasn't died. Impressive.

Tao Zhu does the math: He's suffered so much, and he's the story's protagonist. If I stick with him, I'll surely get plenty of emotional points.

Tao Zhu, whose conscience never bothers her: This is practically the perfect cultivation booster for me!

She waits until the protagonist has fallen out with his teammates, covered in wounds and clinging to his last breath, then appears before him.

Tao Zhu embraces him with utmost tenderness. "Come with me."

They spend a difficult journey together.

When the time is right, Tao Zhu abandons him and collects one last huge haul of emotional points.

Everything goes according to plan.

Except for two things:

First, Yan Senluo really does love her, even though he knew all along that she had ulterior motives.

Second, the moment she leaves, he truly loses his mind.

= There should be plenty of plot, and it's a power-up story.

= Dark Mary Sue.
