After Being Betrayed and Falling to the Demonic Path, I Made Up with My Nemesis

Tsundere x scheming, younger male lead

In the bone-chilling iron prison, two hooks pierced through the young woman's shoulder blades. Everyone knew the prisoner was Chu Yufei, the wicked woman who had fallen into demonic corruption on her wedding day.

In the icy prison, every meridian in the young woman was shattered, and she was completely blind. She could hardly have looked more wretched.

That night, she heard footsteps outside the door. The visitor was none other than her archenemy, Jiang Lingzhou.

Archenemy: "How did you manage to get yourself into this state?"

Chu Yufei: "What, come to laugh at me?"

Archenemy: "Not interested. I thought you'd make a scene at your wedding. Being this pitiful doesn't suit you at all."

Chu Yufei: ...This man was definitely up to no good.

Yet that night, he unlocked every chain that bound her.

Chu Yufei had always hated Jiang Lingzhou. He was a young genius, arrogant and conceited, and constantly at odds with her. And yet he had seen her at her most wretched.

"So why are you making me take part in the Swordsmanship Tournament?"

"I remember someone once declaring, full of ambition, that she would make her name known throughout the world." Her archenemy said, "Too bad someone was so heartless she even threw away her own dream."

"Don't go on about me. What about you? Why did you reverse time and return to the past?"

Her archenemy looked at her without answering.

He had fallen for her long, long ago. Back then, Chu Yufei was still a free-spirited, flamboyant young lady. Dressed in red, she walked through the white snow and dazzled him through the darkest days of his life. Through all the years that followed, he thought only of her. Even when she later decided to marry someone else, he still couldn't bring himself to give up.

"Her happiness can be in her own hands, but it can't be with that man!"

## Stop loving him. Love me instead, please.

One winter, the young woman hugged a wolf's tail and dreamed a warm dream. In it was an especially adorable big dog.

Archenemy: "What big dog? This lord is a wolf!"

Later, one night when she was drunk, the young woman hugged him and stood on tiptoe, swaying as she reached for his head. "I remember there being ears here. Why aren't there any? Poor big dog, no ears."

...I told you, they're wolf ears, not dog ears!

But he still manifested his wolf ears, bending down so she could pet them.

Female lead: So fluffy, they feel so nice =w=

[Reading Guide]

1. Time reversal setting / multiple rivals vying for one person / older woman-younger man romance (four-year age gap in actual age)

2. There is a plot, but the focus is more on romance. Lots of sweetness, with a little angst too.

3. Both leads are stubborn and unconventional, and neither is perfect.

4. The male lead has the blood of a demon wolf. At times, he manifests a wolf tail and beast ears. They're so fluffy and fun to pet (of course, only the female lead gets to pet him. She thinks he's a big dog, but he's actually her archenemy =w=).

5. There will be a female rival competing with the male lead for the female lead (a group of rivals is more fun than a harem of men!).

Theme: Believe in yourself. Love and freedom will come.
