[JX3] The Restricted-Novel Villainess Just Wants to Sell Outfits

You can understand this even if you've never played Jianwang 3. [The next novel is open for preorders: After Nezha Took Me by Force. Feel free to check it out if you're interested.] Blurb: Cai Jiujiu was a veteran sucker for Jianwang 3. She stayed up all night grinding dungeons during a double-drop event, then died suddenly in front of her computer. When she opened her eyes, she had transmigrated into an adult novel she'd once read, in the role of the wicked female supporting character. Even worse, she'd brought along the Jianwang 3 System, and now had to use this world's spirit stones to top up her game card. But game time wasn't what the card was buying anymore. It was her life countdown. While she was fretting over the money she needed to buy her life, that very night she spotted the "heroine" by a spiritual spring in the back hills, flushed and disheveled. The "heroine" had just killed the lecher who drugged her with a single stroke of her sword. "Heroine": You... Cai Jiujiu backed away repeatedly. I didn't see anything! "Heroine": ...I was going to ask if you had any new clothes. Sell me a set. The "heroine" left wearing Night Slayer White from Cai Jiujiu's inventory. Cai Jiujiu didn't have time to mourn the loss of her seaside mansion, though, because the five thousand spirit stones in her storage pouch had dazzled her eyes. ...System, I think I've found a way to get rich! As everyone knows, many of the special rules in adult novels exist to "restrict the plot" and make it move along. For example, clothes in this world are incredibly flimsy. The slightest bump or scrape and they... make it easy to launch into a certain kind of scene at any time, anywhere. So when she saw the "heroine's" clothes become "as fragile as a breath could tear them," and the plot was about to force them into another scene, Cai Jiujiu leapt out with the Pink Cabbage skin from her inventory. "Not 990,000, not 99,000, just 9,900! Take home your seaside-mansion Pink Cabbage!" Another example: in this world, deviation from one's cultivation path, incurable serious injuries, and severe poisoning can all be treated with the simplest, most straightforward method. So when she once again saw the "heroine" cornered outside her cave by her master, who had deviated from his cultivation path and wanted her to help him detox, Cai Jiujiu jumped out with the Flying set skin from her inventory. "Not 9,900,000, not 990,000, just 99,000! Take home the Flying set and ride in style!" Heroine: ...Even so, changing clothes probably won't solve the problem, will it? Cai Jiujiu put the outfit on herself to demonstrate. This skin comes with a Buddhist radiance effect. Anyone caught in its light gains a Clear-Minded, Desire-Free buff for one hour. Heroine: ... Thanks to her knowledge of the original novel, Cai Jiujiu built a booming skin business in this adult novel's world. Once she had enough game cards to live without worrying about her life ticking away, Cai Jiujiu finally had time to check out the other features that came with the Jianwang 3 System, such as the multi-school skill unlock system. And so the cultivation world suddenly discovered that the least noticeable good-for-nothing junior sister of Wanjian Sect had somehow become a genius cultivator who was "proficient in every path." Sometimes she was a sword cultivator: "Take this full-resource Liangyi!" Sometimes she was a music cultivator: "Take this fully channeled Dayin!" Occasionally she was a diviner: "Four changes and it's still a Water hexagram. My DPS!" She also often moonlighted as a healer: "Shake that damn fan faster!" She was also an expert in medicine, alchemy, engineering, mechanisms, and more... The cultivation world's people all said, "This child will surely achieve great things!" After another batch of 888,888-spirit-stone skin boxes sold out in an instant, Cai Jiujiu dragged her angel investor, the "heroine," out for a drink and asked the question she'd been keeping to herself. "By the way... hic, there's something I've wanted to ask you for ages... hic. Why is it that every time you put on one of my skins, you get the men's version? And why don't my other customers have a button to switch between men's and women's outfits...?" The "heroine" was silent for a moment, then set down her wine glass. "Is it possible that I'm a man?" - Warnings: 1. Easy to follow even if you've never played Jianwang 3. 2. The "original heroine," Xuan Jing, is a man. He's been a man from the start, and there are no romantic relationships between men. Many of the "ambiguous moments" the female lead perceives are just assumptions and a huge misunderstanding. 3. Both the plot and the romance point toward the male lead, but there will be a lethal dose of one-sided, everyone-loves-her Mary Sue feelings directed at the female lead. Run if that's not your thing. 4. The plot requires some skill effects to differ from those in the game. I'm not a clueless player; I've just modified some effects for the golden finger. - New novel preorder: After Nezha Took Me by Force [An amalgam of Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West, but essentially my own take on Nezha. Abduction and forced marriage plus groveling repentance, with cheesy melodramatic tropes. Proceed with caution.] On her way home at midnight, Shen Biyun encountered a monster in a narrow alley. Suddenly, a uniformed young hero dropped from the sky to rescue her. She thanked him profusely and was about to ask his name. Suddenly, red lotuses bloomed before her eyes amid the flames of karmic fire. The handsome young man, his jade-like face and delicate features as round as the moon, gently raised a hand. Soft red silk wrapped around her and bound her before him. "My name? Nezha, Lord of the Three Altars and the Seas." In 2025, more than three thousand years after attaining godhood through killing, Nezha faced his tribulation of love. When Nezha heard the news, he simply looked calmly at Taiyi Zhenren. "Who is it? Can I kill them?" Taiyi: "I wouldn't recommend it." Nezha: "So I can kill them." He turned and left. Taiyi's voice chased after him. "Don't you want to know how this tribulation began? Why her? How to overcome it?" "As long as I can kill them." The god of slaughter, who had cultivated the Dao through killing for three thousand years, had always killed rather than overcome his tribulations. His tribulation of love would be no different. But the moment he saw Shen Biyun, and those eyes that seemed vaguely familiar, he changed his mind. So he bound her before him and asked as if seeking her opinion, "Do you want to die?" The young woman in front of him shook her head like a rattle drum. Good. She'd chosen this herself. The young man on the lotus throne wore the smile of a god of slaughter. It was beautiful, yet somehow terrifying. "Come. Marry me." Nezha's reasoning was simple. Since he couldn't kill her, there was only one way to resolve his tribulation of love: cultivate their relationship to its destined conclusion. He would make this girl admire him, love him, and be bound to him for all eternity. "Then do you love me?" The god of slaughter took her hand and pressed it to his chest. Beneath her palm, there was not the slightest heartbeat. "There's only a lotus seed in here," he said indifferently. How could a heartless god of slaughter know love? "What if I can't fall in love with you?" Shen Biyun looked at him timidly. "I'll kill you." He stood with his arms crossed at the foot of the bed, his gaze upon her as if she were an ant. Once a tribulation of love began, it would be bound to one's soul forever. She was destined to be unable to escape him, life after life. If they failed to reach a happy ending in this life, he'd kill her and wait for her to be reborn. The cycle would repeat until one lifetime brought them fulfillment. He leaned down slightly, looking into her suddenly frightened eyes. "Guess which life this is for you?" Shen Biyun was horrified. - 1. Nezha, the cold-hearted god of slaughter x a stubborn human, gentle on the outside but strong-willed within. 2. A self-indulgent romance-focused story, with lots of forced abduction and marriage, followed by groveling repentance and cheesy melodramatic tropes. 3. Nezha will be a somewhat calm but unsettlingly unhinged god of slaughter. My take, my take, my take. 4. The title says forced abduction and marriage. If that's not your thing, please steer clear. 5. There will be a male supporting character with a lot of screen time who also has a romantic entanglement with the female lead. His identity is under wraps for now. Theme: Even the most insignificant person can fight evil and uphold justice in their own way.
