The Villain Is Winning Himself Over

Upcoming: After Becoming a Villain, the Immortal Venerable Rescued Me

After transmigrating into a book, Kong Sangjin decided to keep her head down until the ending.

But fate had other plans. She defied her destiny, unlocked a cheat-mode side quest, and kept the male lead in check. Everything went smoothly, until she discovered it had all been for nothing!

Better to go crazy than complain about fate.

So, give up and coast?

No way.

All the ancient divine artifacts go in my pocket! All that powerful spiritual energy is mine to use!

Goal: Become the strongest woman in the universe!

The heroine lives by the principle of blaming others instead of reflecting on herself. When she's framed, she never lets anyone get away with it. When people say nasty things, she tells them to stay far away!

The male lead, Helian Ye, is the book's cold-hearted, ruthless, unscrupulous top villain. He has one great virtue: he's good at listening to other people's opinions, then dealing with the people who have them.

He sends himself step by step into his own personal crematorium, loses the woman he loves forever, and bitterly regrets it. He's blind to his feelings, stubborn, and slowly learns to win himself over while chasing his wife through the trial by fire.

This is a story about a possessive, unhinged, lovesick demon king meeting a clear-headed, life-loving, scheming black-lotus girl. They use each other, hurt each other, and eventually find their way to one another.

Male lead: Seems cold-hearted, ruthless, and unscrupulous, but is actually a lovesick fool in the advanced stages.

Female lead: Seems arrogant, overbearing, and full of threats, but is actually clear-headed, cherishes her life, and is easily annoyed.

A little scene:

She's full of life and knocks him dizzy with one slap. She's as strong as an ox and can kill a tiger bare-handed. How is there anything sickly and delicate about her?

Upcoming: After Becoming a Villain, the Immortal Venerable Rescued Me

The heroine knows she's strong x a sickly husband who's too frail to care for himself

Lingze is the number one immortal venerable in the celestial realm, by her own claim, but she's not far off. She founded Qingyun Sect, the greatest sect in the mortal world, and ascended to immortality ten thousand years ago.

After being set up, she fell into the mortal world. Her immortal body was destroyed, and baleful energy was injected into her, turning her into the great demon villain hated by all immortals.

While fleeing the lower realm, she possessed Shen Que'an, an unfavored daughter born to a minor ninth-rank official.

After meeting a disabled, sickly prince who was being mocked by everyone, the two hit it off. "You give me a marriage to bring you good luck, and I'll give you status!"

Lingze asked, "What's in it for me?"

Xie Zhao: "Power and influence. You can throw your weight around. No, wait, use your power to bully people."

Lingze: "No need. I've got plenty of strength and tricks of my own."

Xie Zhao: "You'll have a fortune at your disposal."

Lingze: "Vulgar stuff. I'm not interested."

Xie Zhao racked his brains. "You'll get all the delicious food you can eat."

Lingze: "Deal!"

*

Everyone mocked her. How dare a mere mortal, with a mortal body and no foundation in cultivation, set foot in Qingyun Sect and humiliate herself?

Lingze released a little spiritual energy, intimidating the sects of the realm. "Your ancestor is here. Why haven't you come to welcome me?"

I'm cautious, not weak.

And you, my little ant, are truly weak.

After her identity was revealed, her loyal fanboy was left speechless. "She's Immortal Venerable Lingze. Then what am I?"

I'm a clown!

Fanboy: "Everyone calls you a demon. Why are you still eating?"

Lingze asked in confusion, "So what if I'm a demon? Do demons not eat?"

Besides, I'm a legend, a myth, not a rumor.

*

Xie Zhao: "Has my wife become too lofty for me to reach?"

Lingze: "They all respectfully call me 'Immortal Venerable.'"

*

Xie Zhao lay bedridden, on the brink of death. "Do you love me?"

Lingze: "A little."

Xie Zhao breathed his last.

Mortal men were simply too weak to be a match for her powerful immortal body.

Hundreds of years later, the true number one immortal venerable in the celestial realm returned from his tribulation and reclaimed his title. He twined their hair together, lifted Lingze's chin, and drew her close in bed. "I heard you don't love me?"

Lingze: "You look kind of familiar."

Looking closer, isn't this my husband who died a hundred years ago?

Long time no see.

Theme: As long as I'm strong enough, I get the final say.

Theme: Through all the ages and across the eight wildernesses, there's a long road ahead. There will always be another day to look forward to.
