The Villain Has the Yandere Route in the Bag

Qi Yan, a veteran at transmigrating into a book, landed in an SSS-rank, hell-difficulty instance and became a beloved protagonist receiving the adoration of countless people.

The protagonist's parents doted on him, and his love life went smoothly. That is, if the story hadn't contained an absurdly overpowered villain who was like a bug in the system.

The ultimate villain had crushed countless people who had transmigrated into the book and wrecked the world's storyline over and over. He made the instance skip levels and dimensions, turning it from a D-rank instance into an SSS-rank hell instance.

Countless players refused to believe the rumors, hoping to win over the villain boss and clear the instance. Every last one was ruthlessly crushed by the deranged villain.

Qi Yan: Can I say no? It really seems like I'll die if I go in.

When he opened his eyes again, the notorious villain, infamous for his cruelty, had a round, chubby, baby-soft face. He was leaning obediently against Qi Yan's bed, calling him "big brother."

Qi Yan: Huh? Did I end up in the wrong story?

Then he looked at himself. Wait, I'm not dead?

Suspicious, Qi Yan nervously followed the main storyline and completed his tasks, while preventing the villain from going astray and wrecking the world's storyline. He even patted the villain's fur to soothe him.

Qi Yan always thought the System had made a mistake, because the villain really was very well-behaved.

Until the villain he called "well-behaved" got jealous, tricked him into coming home, pinned his hands down, and leaned over him on the bed, calling him "big brother" again and again. His gaze was filled with an obsessive, frenzied infatuation.

Qi Yan suddenly understood.

It seemed he'd raised the villain into a yandere! Help! What do I do?!

[Reader's Guide]

1. Monogamous pairing, happy ending, no real-person inspirations or stand-ins.

2. Bittersweet and sweet, with a hint of angst. An unconventional transmigration into a book story.

3. The love interest is only staying at the protagonist's house. His parents entrusted him to the protagonist's family, but the two have no legal family ties.

4. Neither character is perfect. The love interest has intense self-loathing and is a schemer. He's very coddled early on, and his yandere traits aren't obvious at first. He gradually goes off the rails later.

5. The first eight chapters cover their childhood. The romance only begins halfway through Chapter Eight. It's not a slow burn: the focus is on the romance, and the pacing is fairly fast.

My Dreadful Canary

In his third year abroad, Wen Fan got a new neighbor in the apartment next door.

The shabby little apartment was soon filled with luxury goods, including, but not limited to, a genuine leather sofa from a top brand, a custom marble dining table, the latest crystal chandelier from V Brand, and all sorts of famous paintings and porcelain that Wen Fan had only ever seen on television.

Wen Fan figured the neighbor had a screw loose. He was like a tortoise without a shell propping up a table leg: broke but putting on airs.

The old apartment's circuit breaker tripped all the time. After the new neighbor moved in, the broken breaker finally gave out under the strain. Wen Fan went out to reset it and unexpectedly came face-to-face with that tortoise. It was his long-lost ex-boyfriend... No, his former sugar daddy.

Wen Fan: Hah. That tortoise's got a screw loose :)

The sugar daddy kept showing up at the cafe where Wen Fan worked. After his coworkers had seen the very rich-looking customer staring at Wen Fan for who knew how many times, one of them couldn't help asking.

Wen Fan: "I don't know him."

Gu Jinbai corrected him: "Your ex-boyfriend."

Wen Fan: "...My former sugar daddy."

Gu Jinbai: "..."

Wen Fan had spent years scamming and swindling Gu Jinbai, taking his money, his body, and his feelings. He considered himself a canary with absolutely no professional ethics, utterly loathsome. So his sugar daddy had definitely come back after realizing what had happened, to make his dreadful canary pay.

But...

If he was here to collect a debt, then why was he taking Wen Fan's clothes off?

A dreadful sugar daddy and a pitiful swindler.
