A Cynic's Villainous Career

I was dead set on writing a toxic, awful couple.

The writing is pretty rough, so treat it like an outline.

Transmigrate into a book twice, nested inside another transmigration.

Version 1.0 blurb

As everyone knows, Ji Xingheng, the only daughter of Elder Ji of Tianyan Sect, loves Su Xi without shame or restraint. She goes mad for him, loses her mind for him, and keeps slamming herself into a wall for him.

Everyone hates her, and envies her too.

After clinging to him until her heart turned to ashes, Ji Xingheng snatches a body double from the Hehuan Sect and brings him home. Everyone laughs as they watch her destroy herself completely, then sees her find a reason to exist.

Version 2.0 blurb

A soul from another world, unable even to remember its own name, cannot tell good from evil. Now that she has a name again, Ji Xingheng despises herself and wants nothing more than to be killed off by the plot. But after treating the villain as an equal, he actually lets her go. Ji Xingheng can't understand it. She keeps thinking about it.

And the more she thinks, the more the whole world makes sense.

Content warnings: They are not each other's first, first-person narration, and I'll do my best to give it a happy ending.

We're all rotten people, going bad in shadowy corners. Rot becomes our nourishment, letting life keep growing.

Theme: Making peace with yourself
