What he didn’t know was that his livestream was being broadcast to a parallel timeline.

So, as the number in his bank account kept growing, Liu Sihang began collecting all kinds of exam questions.

[Upcoming Novel]

The villain Huai Yuan is a famous beautiful, strong, and tragic character in a book. He was driven out of his immortal sect as a child, and his parents were brutally murdered. He fought his way through countless obstacles for revenge, but his obsession eventually drove him mad.

Gu Qing had just passed his pharmacist exam when, after staying up all night reading the novel, he transmigrated into the body of a cannon-fodder character who shared his name.

The System gave him a simple, brutal mission: destroy Huai Yuan before he kills any more people.

On his first try, he pretended to be Huai Yuan's honest, dependable bodyguard, while secretly conspiring with Huai Yuan's enemy. On the night of the full moon, Huai Yuan rewarded him with a cup of poisoned wine, killing him.

On his second try, he decided to oppose Huai Yuan openly. But before he had even been alive for three days, someone assassinated him in secret.

After dying twice without knowing why, Gu Qing was reborn for the third time and decided to return to his old trade: making medicine.

Poison, to be exact. A lethal poison with no antidote.

So, reborn for the third time, Gu Qing dutifully worked at a small apothecary. He studied tirelessly, balanced the ingredients, and refined the mixture. At last, he created a poison unlike any other in the world.

But he faced one big problem: how was he supposed to make Huai Yuan take it?

-

He painstakingly set a trap, luring Huai Yuan into it step by step. At last, with Huai Yuan bound, Gu Qing forced him to take the poison.

Huai Yuan was willing to take it, but had one request: "Feed it to me."

Gu Qing: "?"

After feeding it to Huai Yuan, Gu Qing felt a huge weight lift from his heart.

It worked at last!

But after taking the poison, Huai Yuan raised a hand and brushed his lips twice, as if savoring the warmth of Gu Qing's fingers. Under Gu Qing's expectant gaze, he gave a wicked laugh. "This poison... tastes pretty good."

Hey! Nobody told him this guy had already evolved into a demon!!

-

His soldiers stood in mighty ranks, and his palace glittered with gold and jade. At Huai Yuan's command, every one of them would gladly die for him.

Huai Yuan smiled. "Marry me, and I'll give you half the empire."

Gu Qing gave him a couple of perfunctory laughs, then said earnestly, "Before I marry you, could you die first? I have a thing for being a widow."

Huai Yuan: "?"

1. One-on-one, both leads are each other's only partner, happy ending.

2. Set in a completely fictional world. Basically a mindless, indulgent, sweet romp.

Theme: Remember real history
