[Main story complete]

Cen Yue transmigrated into a book.

It was a novel she'd never read, and her assigned target was a minor character who appeared only a few times.

Rumor had it that he'd come back from the dead, neither human nor ghost. He burned down Buddhist temples, killed his birth mother, and committed every evil under the sun.

System: Kill him, or you'll die without a proper burial.

Cen Yue trembled with fear, forced to take on the job.

By day, she called him Young Master Xue with warm familiarity. By night, she lay under the covers, plotting how to kill him.

Xue Lan was devious by nature and moody as could be. Worried that he'd pull something, Cen Yue stuck close to him at all times.

- You're so worried about Young Master Xue's safety. You must like him, right?

After poisoning Xue Lan, Cen Yue was caught red-handed in the middle of the night, crouched outside his room, waiting to collect his corpse.

- Why are you lurking outside Young Master Xue's door instead of sleeping? Don't tell me you like him?

Presented with the perfect excuse, Cen Yue steeled herself and blurted out, "Yes, I like Young Master Xue!"

To keep her story straight and win Xue Lan's trust, she threw herself into the act, never realizing the way the young man looked at her was growing stranger by the day.

Until one day...

Click.

A lock snapped around her wrist.

Cen Yue looked up in alarm and met the young man's gloomy, feverish gaze.

His body was broken, and he had little time left, yet he stubbornly refused to let her go. He even clung to her and insisted they marry, sinking deeper and deeper.

"He got so close to you. Of course he had to die."

"Can't you stop looking at other people and look only at me?"

"The only thing you have to do is stay by my side."

Cen Yue had thought she was only putting on an act. She never expected that, in the end, she'd defy the System and trade her life for Xue Lan's to save him.

On their wedding day, she died in Xue Lan's arms.

Before she died, Cen Yue told him to live well. Xue Lan gave a cold laugh.

Ever since birth, his fate had never been his own. No one had ever cared for him. His whole life had been a pawn in someone else's game. Even after being cast into the deepest hell, he'd clawed his way back on a shred of resentment to take revenge.

He'd never imagined that one day he'd willingly die for someone.

P.S. This novel has a happy ending. Neither lead dies!

Coming soon: When the Villain Stole the Male Lead's Script

Blurb:

Yun Sui accidentally dreamed that she was the heroine of a storybook, and that she had a close, unusual relationship with a junior fellow disciple named Lan Yin.

Lan Yin was kind and gentle. He risked his life again and again to save her from danger.

In the dream, she treated her junior with endless tenderness and indulgence. Yun Sui began to suspect that someone had possessed her.

But good times don't last.

The storybook's villain, Xie Buyan, concealed his demonic identity and joined the Qingyun Sect on Pingyue Mountain to steal the sect's secret treasure, becoming her junior fellow disciple.

Years later, Xie Buyan took advantage of the sect leader's serious injuries to steal the treasure.

He slaughtered the sect and imprisoned her and her fellow disciples in the Netherworld Ghost Prison, forcing the sect leader to exchange the treasure for their lives.

Lan Yin died alongside the demonic fiend Xie Buyan to save her.

After waking, Yun Sui was shocked to discover that everything was following the course of her dream.

Thanks to her intervention, the Qingyun Sect unusually took in no new disciples that year.

Yun Sui breathed a sigh of relief and began paying attention to Lan Yin, who was usually shy and taciturn.

Lan Yin had a strikingly handsome face. Even she, who wasn't swayed by good looks, gradually lost herself in his tender, lingering calls of "Senior Sister."

Remembering how Lan Yin had repeatedly saved the heroine in the storybook, Yun Sui eagerly prepared to seize the perfect chance to grow closer to him.

She never expected that the hero who came to her rescue wouldn't be Lan Yin, but an unknown junior disciple.

Once would have been one thing, but this disciple beat Lan Yin to the punch every single time.

Yun Sui was furious. "Seriously, who are you? Can you stop ruining everything?!"

*

In his previous life, Xie Buyan failed to steal the secret treasure, was knocked off a cliff, and killed with a single sword strike.

When he opened his eyes, he had returned to five years earlier, reborn in the body of an ordinary man named Luo Manyi.

At the time, Luo Manyi was surrounded by monsters. Thanks to the help of Qingyun Sect disciples, he not only survived, but was also brought back to the sect as an outer disciple.

Xie Buyan sneered. It couldn't have worked out better.

He secretly vowed that once he got the treasure, he would slaughter everyone in the Qingyun Sect and leave no one alive.

By chance, Xie Buyan learned that the sect leader intended to choose a husband for his daughter, Yun Sui, and the chosen disciple would very likely inherit the position of sect leader.

Remembering how much effort he'd wasted stealing the treasure in his previous life, he decided on a new strategy and turned his attention to Yun Sui.

He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, Lan Yin had saved Yun Sui many times and earned the praise of the sect leader and the elders.

Following his memories, Xie Buyan seized the initiative and saved Yun Sui again and again. He thought he could win her favor, but all he got in return were repeated, distinctly displeased thank-yous.

Xie Buyan's expression darkened. She hadn't treated that phony green tea, Lan Yin, like this in her previous life.
