Emotionally Detached Psychotic Male Lead X Amoral, Unhinged Female Lead
Both are powerful and crazy. The male lead has the female lead wrapped around his finger mentally, while she overwhelms him with her strength. This is not the conventional pampered-male-lead dynamic. The female lead is intensely devoted to him! He goes insane, and she takes people out.
Born with congenital insensitivity to pain, Wu Er takes transmigrating into an insectoid world in stride. At this moment, he is at a loud, raucous party, standing with one foot on a frail female insect whose face he cannot make out, as the surrounding insects cheer them on.
A System from who knows where tells him that the insect under his foot is You Yin, the future ultimate villain of this world. If this were a cultivation novel, he would be the demon king who suffers humiliation early on, turns evil, and then gains immense power. Once villains rise to power, they take revenge on society indiscriminately, with cannon fodder bearing the brunt of it.
Wu Er has no interest in what the System says. Just as he starts to lose interest and lift his foot, the System continues: In the future, he will hang you, the wicked cannon-fodder male insect, up for forty-nine days, then cruelly dismember you alive. He will bury your corpse in the soil as fertilizer and, whenever he is in a bad mood, dig up your bones, grind them into powder, and brew tea with them.
Wu Er perks up. "So what should I do?"
System: "Be kind to him. Warm his heart and reform him. Let him experience the kindness and warmth of the human world. That's how stories save tragic villains. Just follow the book."
Wu Er takes his foot off and thinks for a moment. "I understand."
The next second, he crouches, grabs You Yin by the hair, and slams his head hard against the ground. Bright red blood trickles out. Wu Er looks expressionlessly at the female insect sprawled on the ground, clinging to life.
"Your Highness, I eagerly await your revenge."
The System lets out a piercing shriek. "What are you doing?!"
Wu Er rubs his ear, not feeling guilty in the slightest. "In all my years of reading novels, I've learned that the plot of the future absolutely can't be changed. Besides, I don't think this insect needs any kindness or warmth from the human world."
System: "So?"
Wu Er: "So I've decided to follow the original story and bully him as the wicked cannon-fodder character."
System: "Is that what you understand?!"
Wu Er stops arguing with it. He laughs at the stupid System for not knowing what the most perfect pain in the world is.
Just as he is about to leave, a battered hand grabs the hem of his clothes.
Those blood-red eyes stare fixedly at him. Wu Er hears the female insect say, "Your Highness, I eagerly await it too."
[Important Content Warnings]
1. The leads hurt and try to kill each other early on. Both are powerful and crazy, neither is portrayed as perfect, and both have something seriously wrong with them. The female lead falls first midway through the story, and their relationship is unequal from beginning to end. The male lead uses her without hesitation.
2. Dramatic and unconventional, not the conventional pampered-male-lead dynamic. Definitely male-lead-biased. You can give the mutual pampering a try, maybe.
3. No children.
4. The fictional story is not related to real life.
