How to Redeem the Sweet-on-the-Outside, Dark-on-the-Inside Second Male Lead

[The text has been revised extensively starting from Chapter 47]

1,

Xie Fuqing is blind.

When Su Yaoyao meets him, the story is already nearing its end.

The cool, gentle second male lead loses his eyes and retreats to the mountains with a maid who looks like the heroine.

The maid cannot bear the quiet life and grows malicious, imprisoning the second male lead in a wooden hut.

The once-elegant man can barely manage to drink a cup of hot tea.

And, by an unfortunate twist of fate, Su Yaoyao transmigrates into the maid.

The man in white has a white veil over his eyes, and dust clings to his body. His wrists are bound with chains, the other ends fastened to a pillar. He looks utterly miserable.

Hearing a sound beside him, he asks gently, "Could you give me a cup of water?"

Su Yaoyao lets out a breath of relief and hurriedly pours Xie Fuqing a cup of warm water.

2,

Su Yaoyao has to complete a romance mission before she can go home.

But having read the whole story, she knows that Xie Fuqing was never a mild, compassionate Buddhist cultivator. He is cold and aloof by nature, and the lotus that grew from being steeped in malice remains bloodthirsty at its core.

He's simply so indifferent that he wears a gentle facade.

That day, the white-robed Guanyin from the book lowers his eyes. His pale wrist emerges from layer upon layer of flowing sleeves, and he asks softly, "Are you afraid?"

Su Yaoyao obediently places her fingers in his palm and shakes her head timidly.

Only later does Su Yaoyao learn that this monster, who grew up surrounded by malice, had long ago laid trap after trap for her, intent on dragging her into hell.

3,

Everyone knows Xie Fuqing is cold and aloof. Even when he loves someone, he remains restrained and proper.

That is, until they see the refined Xie Fuqing lift the long hair resting on a girl's shoulder with his pale fingertips, gently gather it over his robe, then draw the girl into his arms and softly comfort her.

His gaze is dark with emotion, his black hair loose, as if he were a fallen immortal.

#Reader's Guide#

1. There are many original settings. This is my take on cultivation, and any details involved are made up.

2. The original male and female leads are portrayed negatively, especially their intelligence TAT

3. The male lead doesn't like the original heroine, and there's a reason that will be revealed later.

4. The male lead is truly sweet on the outside and dark within, a deranged obsessive in every sense, with no moral compass.

5. The heroine is not a strong, independent woman. This is a silly, sweet story, so I hope you enjoy it~

#Silly Sweet Romance, All About the Sweets#

After transmigrating, Yun Zhi becomes the vicious cannon-fodder female supporting character in a book.

Her main task is to push the villain into becoming evil.

Having never played the villain before, Yun Zhi decides to give it her best.

Unfortunately, at the time, she is weak and wicked, and has no choice but to rely on the villain.

The first day after transmigrating.

He has just helped her escape from the hands of demonic cultivators when the two of them fall off a cliff.

The boy is silent, covered in injuries from protecting her.

According to the original plot, she is supposed to steal his food.

So Yun Zhi bites into the fruit the villain brought back and eats the sweetest part. The boy gives her a cold, dark look, and Yun Zhi scrambles around until she rolls a medicine bottle over to him.

System: ...

Yun Zhi: ...

Fortunately, they don't have to wander for long, and Yun Zhi soon gets to be the haughty young lady of a sect again.

The third month after transmigrating.

Chi An is framed, and disciples of the immortal sects haul him onto the Punishment Platform. Countless people curse and condemn him, while only the heroine looks at him anxiously.

Yun Zhi stands below the platform.

According to the original plot, she needs to rush up, whip Chi An, then put on an affected display and cry a little.

So, under the heroine's accusing gaze, weak little Yun Zhi lifts a soft whip and climbs onto the Punishment Platform. But her body lets her down. As Chi An watches, she trips over her own feet and smacks her head against the platform.

System: ...

Yun Zhi: ...

System: Forget it. You might as well wait to die.

The original cannon-fodder supporting character is frail, perhaps because she did too many bad things. She was born sickly and relies on spiritual pills to stay alive.

But Yun Zhi can't get her hands on any spiritual pills. Chi An hates her, and after turning evil, he gives every last pill to the heroine and locks Yun Zhi up as well.

After completing her mission, Yun Zhi is about to leave. In her confusion, she sees Chi An pull her into his arms. He cuts open his chest and wrist, drawing out his spiritual blood, doing whatever it takes to keep her there.

Everyone thinks he hates that wicked young lady of the immortal sects more than anyone.

Few know that the infamous Demon Lord has suffered two emotional breakdowns, both because of her.

The first was when his weak and wicked contracted partner broke their contract. The boy, who had endured being robbed of his spiritual core and every humiliation without complaint, begged her desperately, his eyes red.

The second was when Yun Zhi died. The man's robe was soaked through with spiritual blood. His fingertips trembled, and he wept uncontrollably.
