I Hurt the One I Loved to Get My Happy Ending

★ Follow-up pre-release: The Villainess Decides to Cremate Everyone. Senior brother x junior sister, super sweet, just what you need~

---Blurb---

Yu Youxi is a model cannon-fodder character who transmigrated into a book.

The System informed her: "The male lead of this harem novel for men failed to turn evil due to unknown factors. He's still a refined gentleman, as pure as the moon! You must help the male lead rise to power and become a high-ranking minister. Get that happy ending!"

Yu Youxi accepted the mission.

She devoted herself to her tragic, beautiful, powerful older brother, taking blows for him, clearing every obstacle in his way, and treating him with tender care.

Yu Youxi never noticed how strange Zhou Chongjun's gaze toward her was becoming.

Possessiveness, obsession, passionate love. Then, on a night of torrential rain, Zhou Chongjun stared at Yu Youxi's tortured, lifeless body and descended into madness.

*

With his corruption threshold too low, Yu Youxi inexplicably became Commandery Princess Zhaowu, with her memories gone. By then, Zhou Chongjun had already become a ruthless, corrupt official.

Looking at the iron chains around her wrists, she teared up. "Husband, I wasn't the one who abandoned you..."

Zhou Chongjun's beautiful face turned dark. "Call me Big Brother Chongjun."

Yu Youxi wrapped her slender arms around his neck and begged in a soft voice, "...Big Brother Chongjun."

Zhou Chongjun lowered his eyes, gazing at the little girl's flushed face after he had bullied her.

He reverently kissed her eyelid.

"This time, don't forget my name again."

The moment I saw you in the abyss,

I knew I had to chase that radiant sun

for the rest of my life.

---Love Rivals Stage---

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Crown Prince's Heir Xi Yanci married Yu Youxi. People said that on their wedding night, the candlelight glowed softly, and everyone laughed that the Crown Prince's Heir was so full of vigor that he ought to treat his new bride gently.

Jiang Yicheng hurried into the palace to see the emperor. He planned to swallow his pride. No matter how reckless he'd been, little sister Youxi would always forgive him.

But halfway there, an old friend blocked his path.

Ji Yunze's dark, murderous eyes held a fury that could swallow the heavens. "You bastard! You sent Nuan Nuan into the palace for power, and now you dare say you regret it? Why don't you go die?"

Before Jiang Yicheng could reply, Xi Yanci's voice rang out. The cinnabar between the man's brows was as red as blood, and his noble bearing was unparalleled. "Uncle, you imprisoned my wife. I would also like an explanation from you."

The three men stood poised for a fight. But behind the bed curtains, Yu Youxi was crying with red eyes and a hoarse voice. "How dare you! Zhou Chongjun! Do you know who I am?!"

Zhou Chongjun's black hair spilled across the snowy-white fur cloak. Their clothes had been so thoroughly tangled together that they were now a disgraceful mess.

"Little liar, if you can't complete your mission, you can stay by my side forever."

Zhou Chongjun: A nurturing, motherly type, a restrained chief minister who loses control and looks down on the world

Ji Yunze: A domineering prince, a carefree childhood friend reduced to humbly begging for love

Jiang Yicheng: A playboy older brother, a sister-obsessed hypocrite who thinks, "He can do it, so why can't I?"

Xi Yanci: A gentle madman, a twisted, sadistic, refined villain, the Crown Prince's Heir

---Blurb for The Villainess Decides to Cremate Everyone---

[Sweet but ruthless troublemaker vs. unruly, roguish, handsome troublemaker]

Only after Xie Serong died did she learn that she was a cannon-fodder villainess in an explicit cultivation novel set in Tang City.

After the heroine, her junior sister, appeared, every important character in the original story became embroiled in a series of torturous romances with her.

To help the sweet and delicate heroine improve her cultivation, they pinned Xie Serong down and did all sorts of unspeakable things to steal her luck.

After being reborn, Xie Serong turned her back on them and found a new sect and a new master.

Though reluctant, she followed the jade pendant spirit's instructions and became sworn sisters with the original novel's arrogant, heaven-defying protagonist, her mortal enemy.

Before long, her former master, uncles, senior brothers, and junior brothers all came begging for her forgiveness with red eyes, insisting they would rescue Xie Serong from the wicked.

They said, "Rong'er, everyone in your new sect is an evil scoundrel! Especially Yan Huaiying!"

They said, "Rong'er is innocent and naive. All of you people tricked her! Especially Yan Huaiying!"

Xie Serong slew the famous Yin-Yang School master with one slash.

She smiled brightly and sweetly. "Have you considered the possibility that I'm the ultimate villain among this bunch of bad people?"

Yan Huaiying, heir to the Northern Li estate, was sinister, arrogant, and roguishly handsome. At just eighteen, he had reached the Dragon Ascension Realm, making him the dream of nine hundred million girls.

Yan Huaiying at first: The commandery princess is cute, but she's too stupid to be the junior sister of a heaven-defying prodigy like me.

Yan Huaiying later: Wait, aren't you all my brothers? How come every one of you has something going on with my junior sister...

Later still, Yan Huaiying, the cool, domineering, arrogant, over-the-top prodigy: "All of you, get down on your knees before my junior sister and beg her to spare your lives!"

People angrily called him a dog, a dog who could only pitifully beg Xie Serong to love him.

The arrogant, unruly young man looked completely serious. "That's right. I'm my junior sister's lapdog, an utterly devoted fanboy who only cares about her career."

Her most loyal hound, and her eternal devotee.

Theme: Keep fighting even when you find yourself in adversity
