The Scheming Villain Keeps Coaxing Me Into Doing Quests

[Complete. Please check out my upcoming novel, “After Ascending, I Discovered My Nemesis Was My Husband”!]

[Blurb]

Ruan Mian is a timid, socially anxious girl who gets assigned the role of a villainess, constantly targeting the heroine, Chu Yutang.

Living a life of empty bluster is worse than death, but luckily, she has a System she can confide in.

The voice from the jade slip is unexpectedly pleasant, a magnetic, slightly hoarse young man's voice. The first time he speaks to Ruan Mian, he even sounds adorably hesitant: “You said you really wanted to... get close to Chu Yutang?”

Ruan Mian: “Yeah. She's so gentle, beautiful, and elegant. Even though I'm a scheming villain, she's still kind to everyone...”

The jade slip: “Have you ever considered that she's pretending?”

Ruan Mian: “How could that be? Everyone knows she's a good person!”

On the other end of the jade slip, Chu Yutang chuckles. “Hmph. Fool.”

Ruan Mian: Why has the System suddenly started insulting me? Sob.

You've picked on me, and now you've really messed with Cotton!

The mission to insult the heroine is triggered.

Ruan Mian panics. “System, what do I do? If her admirers insult me back, I... I won't be able to say a word!”

The jade slip: “Stop fussing and go ahead. Anyone who dares insult you won't get away with it. Chu Yutang will make sure of that.”

Ruan Mian: ?

Can the heroine really be that saintly?

The mission to beat up the heroine is triggered.

Ruan Mian is horrified. “I can't beat her. There's no way I can beat her! I don't want to die, sob...” Chu Yutang just killed the Demon Lord yesterday, ahhh!

The jade slip: “No crying! ...Fine, she'll let you hit her once. She won't fight back. That's enough to complete the mission, right?”

Ruan Mian: ?

She's about to cry over the heroine's kindness!

The mission to drug the heroine with a love potion...

The jade slip: “If it's you...”

The young man sighs.

“She won't blame you.”

The missions go smoothly, and Ruan Mian is happy, until one day a mechanical voice rings in her mind: “Sorry, Host, I'm late! Have the missions been going well?”

Ruan Mian: ...?

She feels as if she's been struck by lightning.

This is the System... so who is the person in the jade slip?!

Luckily, she's already reached the final step of the mission. All she has to do is let the impartial sect leader run his sword through the heart of the wicked Ruan Mian, and she'll be out.

But when a vast blade of light comes crashing down, Chu Yutang suddenly steps in front of Ruan Mian.

Only then does Ruan Mian realize that the little junior sister who always meekly let her bully her is actually a head taller than her villainous senior sister.

Gravely wounded, Chu Yutang still clings to Ruan Mian like a madman, pressing her hand against his blood-soaked chest.

The familiar young man's voice, accompanied by a pained gasp, comes softly from Chu Yutang's lips.

“Ruan Mian, you owe me this... Don't leave.”

“Not for the rest of your life.”

Ruan Mian: !!!

The System screams, “Host, when did you win over the final villain boss? Ahhh!”

Ruan Mian is distraught.

*This story is also known as “Spring Cotton, Dawn Begonia.”

Cotton cloth carries home the springtime, while jade can't conceal the begonia's red.

*Socially anxious girl x tsundere, a slightly silly sweet treat!

*The villain has no choice but to disguise himself as a woman. This will be explained in the story!

My nemesis and I fought for eight hundred years. He killed me five times, and I killed him six. After entangling ourselves for ten lifetimes, I finally drove my sword into his heart and shattered his soul.

Ha! That should stop you from being reborn, you brat!

But I never expected that at that very moment, we would both ascend.

When I opened my eyes, I discovered that my nemesis and I were immortals who had descended to the mortal world to undergo a trial.

And my nemesis was my lawful husband.

Me: ?

Because of my sword, my nemesis seems to have lost his memories of the mortal world. He only remembers that we are a loving couple in the Celestial Realm, and he looks at me with love and no hatred.

Unlike him, I have lost my memories of the Celestial Realm: ...

Ugh, disgusting!

Because of that sword, the eight fragments of my nemesis's soul fell into the mortal world, and his overwhelming hatred turned them into eight extremely evil demon realms.

The Celestial Emperor is heartbroken and orders the two of us to retrieve the fragments together.

I grin and agree readily, overjoyed inside. Now I can take the chance to scatter the fragments and destroy my nemesis.

Once he's dead, no one can compete with me for the next Celestial Emperor.

My nemesis has no idea how sinister my intentions are. All he does every day is come over asking for a kiss.

To keep him from getting suspicious, so I can kill him unawares while he's living his dream, I suppress my disgust and reluctantly give him one or two.

The first time I kiss him, my nemesis freezes for a moment, but his flawless, almost unreal smile quickly conceals his lapse.

It isn't until my third failed attempt to destroy a fragment of my nemesis's soul that my evil plan is mysteriously thwarted again and again.

An old friend happens to gossip with me: “Hey, weren't you two married by agreement?”

“He wouldn't even lift your red bridal veil that day before descending to the mortal world for his trial.”

“It's touching to see a fake couple become so loving!”

Me: ...!?

*

After ascending, Xie Ji pretends to have lost his memories of the mortal world.

He puts on a tender, adoring mask, so Fan Li, who has lost her memories of the Celestial Realm, will believe they were once a loving couple.

He wants to lower her guard and find a chance to assassinate her.

When he comes to Fan Li asking for a kiss, it's only for his own amusement. He wants to disgust her so much she can't eat.

But he never expects that one day, the proud goddess will quietly gaze at him for a moment.

Then she lowers her eyes and gives him a gentle kiss on the corner of his lips.

That day, Xie Ji is the one who can't eat, sleep, or find peace.

[Two utterly self-serving people fighting to the death, truly trying to kill each other]

[Calculations from beginning to end, not a shred of sincerity]

[Nemeses are nemeses. A nemesis can't become your wife!]

[But then they fall in love after marriage, hehe]
