Saving the Corrupted Villain

Gu Yiyi read a novel.

In the book, the hero and heroine went through all kinds of melodramatic twists involving substitutes and the one who got away before finally ending up together. It was a heart-wrenching read.

But Gu Yiyi felt nothing at all. The only time she secretly shed a tear was when the great villain died.

When she woke up, Gu Yiyi had become the young mistress of the Immortal Realm, a cruel supporting character who could never win the male lead's heart.

The story was at the point where the male lead, Ji Chao, had fled from his wedding. Fearing retaliation from the Immortal Realm, the Ji family sent Ji Shen, the villain and a son born to a concubine, to apologize in his brother's place.

Gu Yiyi hurried over with an umbrella.

In the pouring rain, the frail young man, his cultivation crippled, knelt among the thorns, his white clothes stained with blood.

"Don't be afraid."

She held the umbrella over him with one hand and took his icy hand in the other.

"Ji Shen, I won't bully you anymore."

Ji Shen had suffered a miserable childhood, enduring one abuse after another. When his legitimate elder brother Ji Chao fled his wedding and brought disaster upon the family, Ji Shen was sent to the Immortal Realm to atone in his place.

Before he left, he heard that Gu Yiyi, the highborn young mistress of the Immortal Realm, was infamous throughout the cultivation world for her arrogance and cruelty.

Though humiliated, she still couldn't bear to hurt the one she loved, so she would take her anger out on him instead.

Everyone thought he wouldn't survive three days under Gu Yiyi's hand. Ji Shen thought so too, until the girl crouched beside him beneath the curtain of rain, holding an umbrella. Her flower-bright smile held a sweetness Ji Shen had never known.

One taste, and he was hooked.

Gu Yiyi wanted to treat Ji Shen well and show him all the beauty in the world, so he wouldn't fall into demonic cultivation and become an enemy of heaven and earth.

Ji Shen promised her, "As long as you're here, watching over me, I'll never turn demonic."

Gu Yiyi smiled and accepted his promise, but she didn't keep her own.

She died, and the last thing she saw was Ji Shen's blood-red eyes, filled with despair.

*

When she opened her eyes, she had become a little immortal fruit in the Ninth Heaven again. She had no way of knowing what became of Ji Shen.

Then one day, the Demon Lord, whose very name terrified all the gods of the Ninth Heaven, sent a demon envoy to seize her, fruit and leaves alike.

That night, in the Demon Lord's bedchamber, Gu Yiyi trembled.

"Please don't eat me."

To keep from being eaten, she hurriedly turned back into a human. When she looked up, she saw a face she knew all too well.
