From the Start, the Villain Killed Me 999 Times [Book Transmigration]

★Upcoming story blurb below: My Overpowered Senior Brother Is Slacking Off

Shen Lingchun transmigrates into a wildly popular novel with a terrible ending.

Other people meet the male lead from the start. Shen Lingchun robs him from the start.

"System: Host, your mission is to redeem the villain!"

Shen Lingchun, shattered into pieces after falling off a cliff: "Give me a cheat first."

"I can let you revive infinitely by exploiting a bug, and remove your pain receptors while I'm at it."

Then she's pinned to a platform, and the executioner brings down his blade.

"System: Sorry, I had a bug~"

Shen Lingchun: "So this is why I got beheaded 108 times?"

After Xiao Qi'an killed her 999 times in just three years, Shen Lingchun furiously created three secret identities.

[Bewitching Consort x Tyrant]

Shen Lingchun takes an arrow for Xiao Qi'an (slips, crosses that out),

recites prayers for him (puts on an act),

and endures the torture of poison for him (eats and drinks like normal).

When rebels storm the palace, Shen Lingchun puts on his cloak to draw them away, and is cornered in a tower.

She stands in the burning tower and clears his name.

As the tower collapses, she sees a figure glance at her, then turn away indifferently and leave.

[Medicine Immortal x Celestial God]

Shen Lingchun and the original heroine are poisoned at the same time, but there are only two doses of antidote.

Sure enough, Xiao Qi'an hands the first dose to the heroine.

As the poison takes hold and Shen Lingchun teeters on the brink of death, she sees Xiao Qi'an swallow the other dose.

[Daoist Cultivator x Demon King]

Shen Lingchun wakes up in a dark room.

She lifts a hand, and chains clatter.

Shen Lingchun: "?"

At first, Xiao Qi'an is wary of the undying, immortal woman. But as they spend time together, he gradually realizes that she is a ray of light in his life.

Xiao Qi'an searches for medicine and makes taro cakes for her. He arranges her hair and hides his feelings in the hairpin he gives her.

He lifts her bloodied body from the icy river. He considers her feelings at every turn, suppresses all the love in his heart, and even disappears with her in the sea of flames.

Yet when she once again chooses to abandon her life and leave him, she leaves him only one line:

"Don't love me too much. I'll come back."

After that, he becomes a demon. The demon elders urge him to produce heirs and strengthen the demon clan.

He says, "I have a wife. She'll be back soon."

*

This isn't angsty. It's a sweet romance.

Some details aren't meant to be scrutinized.

The heroine really can't feel pain (explained in the extra chapters).

The leads don't have misunderstandings, and the original novel's protagonists aren't vilified.

Upcoming story blurb

When Zhu Ciying was brought back to Qingwei Sect, her master said she had a natural sword bone and a deep affinity for the sword. She was certain to ascend within ten years of studying swordsmanship, and even her exceptionally talented senior brother would have to yield the spotlight to her.

But barely six months later, the war between the immortals and demons erupted. Qingwei Sect was massacred, and she died in the fighting.

When she woke again, three hundred years had passed since the war. She was reborn in Shaoyang Sect, where she cultivated the Dao through music.

The day her memories returned, Zhu Ciying was sent to reflect in the back mountains as punishment, where she came across Xie Rangchen, who was on the verge of death.

Not only did Xie Rangchen share her senior brother's name, he looked exactly like him. But now his sword bone had been destroyed, his spiritual roots and golden core had been dug out, his life-bound sword had been stolen, and he had lost his memory, even forgetting who his enemies were.

Zhu Ciying finds him the finest sword bone in the world, risks death to obtain medicine that will restore his spiritual roots, and helps him find his sword and take revenge on his enemies.

The Demon Lord's remnant soul has gathered again, and he is about to be resurrected.

Legend says that gathering four divine artifacts can destroy him for good.

Zhu Ciying carries a blood feud.

She fights her way through the world to find the artifacts, while Xie Rangchen sleeps, fishes, and drinks tea... Unable to take it anymore, Zhu Ciying yanks away his pillow, snaps his fishing rod, and knocks over his teacup.

But Xie Rangchen isn't angry. He smiles and asks, "You've helped me so much, junior sister. What can I do for you?"

Zhu Ciying: "Senior brother, let's fight our way back."

"All right." He snaps off a branch to use as a sword. In an instant, the earth shakes and mountains tremble.

If it's what my junior sister says, why would I refuse?

*

Three hundred years ago, Xie Rangchen had a junior sister who protected him as he ascended during the war between immortals and demons, and guarded his Yuhuang.

In the end, his junior sister died in his arms.

After accidentally arriving three hundred years in the future, Xie Rangchen meets a junior sister. She's very bold and doesn't call him "senior brother."

She calls him Xie Tiantian.

Short skit:

Xie Rangchen: "Fighting all the time is boring."

Zhu Ciying: "Strawberry gummies, matcha red bean snowflake pastries."

Xie Rangchen (drawing his sword): "Junior sister, who are we chopping up?"

Theme: Every character deserves an ending of their own, whether they live or die, and whether it is happy or sad.
