A gloomy, cold-blooded, lovesick junior disciple × a quirky, lively little princess

Lingling transmigrated into a book, landing in an old-fashioned male-oriented novel.

The good news was that she was a princess, and the male lead's junior apprentice sister.

The bad news was that she was an unpopular princess who was destined to be a disposable extra from the start.

The first thing she saw after waking up was the beautiful, powerful, ruthless, lovesick junior disciple, the villain of the book. The moment their eyes met, she knew this was the end of her.

On the surface, the beautiful, powerful, ruthless villain was a righteous junior disciple. In secret, however, he was the merciless young lord of the Demon Clan, carrying an ancient demonic aura within him. In the end, he would fall to the demonic path.

Her mission was to win over this cold-hearted, unfeeling young villain.

At the brink of life and death, Lingling accidentally activated a purifying bracelet and entered her junior brother's inner demon. Xie Qi'an, now completely consumed by demonic energy, sat alone on the demon throne, his aura spilling out in every direction.

The purifying bracelet told her he couldn't see her. (Unless his power was too strong.)

Lingling couldn't help edging closer, and happened to meet the gloomy young man's gaze.

Lingling smiled and asked, "He actually knew which direction I was in. Does that mean we're fated to be together?"

The purifying bracelet replied honestly, "No, Master. He can simply see you."

...What do you do when someone grabs you by the throat? Asking for help online, urgent!

The young man smiled cruelly and asked, "So you and I... are fated?"

On the first day after transmigrating into the book, Lingling made a bet with the young man: "I bet you'll fall for me."

Then she promptly got strangled to death inside the villain's inner demon...

On the second day after transmigrating into the book, Lingling had planned to cling to the male lead. But when she saw the young villain nearly wipe out the entire protagonist group, she fell into deep thought.

In the end, she made up her mind. Winning over someone beautiful, powerful, and ruthless only required one plan: set a bad kid straight.

When the villain was hurt, she cared for him with all her might.

When the villain was unhappy, she did her best to console him.

When the villain used her, she let bygones be bygones.

Every time Lingling wanted to punch him, she silently reminded herself that once she succeeded in winning him over, she would dump him hard!

Until eventually, she got tired. She was done catering to him. She wanted to lie flat!

Lingling stood before Xie Qi'an, sealed inside a magic formation, and told him that from then on, they owed each other nothing and should never meet again.

Lingling had just turned to leave and spend her final days in peace when she suddenly noticed that the villain, who had been sitting quietly inside the formation, now had blood-red eyes. In an instant, he broke through the male lead's formation and stared at her, his demonic aura surging.

He slowly approached Lingling. His long-fingered hand covered her neck, and she thought the villain was furious with embarrassment and wanted to kill her to vent his anger.

Who could have guessed that instead of the suffocating sensation she expected, an overbearing warmth would linger on her lips?

Lingling: ??!

My next upcoming novel: Transmigrating Back to the Tyrant's Youth~

--Upcoming Novel Blurb--

Princess Li Ying of Yongjia was born in the Cold Palace and was utterly insignificant.

The only things that had grown up with her were an old plum tree in the Cold Palace, a broken lamp, and a ghost who claimed to be a deity.

The ghost spent all day on the stone platform beneath the plum tree, wearing a snow-white robe, his eyes always clouded with deep confusion.

Li Ying couldn't help striking up a conversation. "Why don't you reincarnate?"

The ghost froze, then smiled. "The Underworld says I'm a tyrant who committed every evil imaginable, so it won't let me be reborn."

"So?"

"So I became a deity."

The deity stayed by her side as she grew up, helping her through the twists and turns of palace life.

He said he was waiting for someone, someone he had forgotten.

*

Later, on the day Li Ying came of age, she confessed her feelings to the deity.

The deity stared at her in a daze, but still turned her down.

Heartbroken, Li Ying returned to the palace and lit the palace lamp. The old lamp that had grown up with her flickered, its candlelight brightening and dimming.

Her gaze met the dancing flame. Li Ying felt dizzy and found herself three hundred years in the past.

*

Back then, Xiao Chuji was merely a pitiful boy everyone could bully, and the boy did not remember Li Ying.

The lonely, helpless boy stared blankly at the girl who had suddenly appeared before him, and asked in a cool voice, "Miss, who are you?"

Li Ying lifted her chin and declared with complete seriousness, "I'm the one you'll love in the future!"

*

Later, the young tyrant described in the history books as "notorious" said to her with such tenderness, "A Ying, become my empress."

"I may rule all under heaven, but the only one I love is the girl I loved in my youth, in this life and every life to come."

I pray the gods will protect her and keep her free from worry.

The flame flickers to life, carrying my call of love for you.

Content warnings:

The heroine is NOT strong!!! She is NOT a lovesick fool!!!

I really love the heroine's name, and I love my girl, too. Please don't say I favor men over women because of her name. I've always wanted to say that our Lingling really is just as her name suggests: quirky and clever. Thank you for understanding!

The male lead is genuinely awful early on, moody and unpredictable. Later, he'll suffer through everything our girl went through!

Both are virgins, one-on-one romance, happy ending, sweet story with a goofy vibe.

I'm no master writer, so please bear with me!

The story offers some commentary on old-fashioned male-oriented novels, but does not intend to disparage them!

Theme: There is still truth, kindness, and beauty in this world.
