The White Moonlight's Background-Character Little Sister

I died.

Then I transmigrated into a book.

I became the insignificant background-character little sister of the doomed, early-death white moonlight.

My beautiful, kind white moonlight of a sister is terminally ill and destined to die young.

She has two childhood friends: one is her lover, and the other is her nominal fiance, who has a one-sided crush on her.

After she dies, her lover leaves in sorrow. Her fiance turns evil and becomes a major villain, blaming her entire clan for failing to save her. After slaughtering them with his own hands, he spends the rest of his life causing trouble.

That's right. This background-character little sister is one of the people who will be slaughtered in the future.

...Why is failing to save a terminally ill patient a reason to kill someone?! I don't want my sister to die either!! No wonder your fiancee doesn't like you. Your values are seriously messed up, you know that?

To protect her own life and her clan's, Qin Zhaoyu lays an ambush on the road when the fiance first comes to the city, planning a sneak attack.

If she can't kill him, she'll at least cripple him.

With that resolve, Qin Zhaoyu cautiously peeks out, just in time to see a flash of swordlight.

The white-haired, green-eyed boy has a delicate, gentle face, a little too plain to be interesting.

But when he raises his sword and drives the blade into his enemy's chest, a dark smile lights up his green eyes, making him look so cruel, so mad, so twisted...

...and so irresistible.

Qin Zhaoyu clutches her chest and slowly leans against a nearby tree trunk.

She's doomed. She knew her fiance was a psychopath, but she never expected she could be the kind of psychopath who falls for one.

At first, Qin Zhaoyu only wants to be an excellent secret admirer: no confessions, no hints, just cheerful friendliness. Ideally, her sister won't die, her fiance won't turn evil, and everyone can live happily ever after.

When people ask why she's so nice to her fiance, she just smiles and says, half-joking, "Maybe I like him!"

Every time, he stands at a moderate distance, quietly watching her with his green eyes. Only in those moments is there no fake smile on his face, just an expression of boredom. What a dull, cold boy. Only when covered in blood does he show a vivid, mad delight.

Qin Zhaoyu has always believed that he doesn't like her.

When the sister who loves her most in the world is on the verge of death, Qin Zhaoyu unhesitatingly trades her own life for her sister's.

She has no regrets. She only wishes their happy days had lasted longer.

Ten years later, she wakes up again.

Her homeland is engulfed in flames, and smoke blots out the sky.

An army made up of ghostly shadows has nearly swallowed the entire continent.

The man surrounded by those shadows stands in a pool of blood, just having sheathed his sword. This time, not even slaughter and bloodshed can change his dull, numb expression.

But when he looks up at her, he smiles again. His dark smile lights up his green eyes, burning with an intense emotion that feels like madness and death.

"I knew it..."

He reaches out to her, his expression almost sweet.

"...If I threaten you with the whole world, you just can't help waking up."

Qin Zhaoyu: Damn, what a plant. How did he manage to get even more twisted?
