[Advance Preview: My Nemesis Is Hard to Raise] Please add it to your collection!
The on-screen comments all say I'm the big villain: obsessive and twisted, lusting after the male lead's looks, so I order someone to destroy his spiritual root and cripple his cultivation, leaving him as good as a cripple. When I try to force myself on him, he kills me instead.
And the male lead is none other than my exceptionally gifted junior apprentice brother, the genius everyone envies. He always looks aloof and speaks little. Usually, he only dares to stay three feet away from me and respectfully call me Senior Sister, never crossing the line.
Destroying his spiritual root is a last resort. Winning his heart is the better strategy.
Thanks to the on-screen comments, I learn before the protagonist's group that my junior apprentice brother, Jiang Xun, is a snake demon.
Jiang Xun's vicious stepfather comes looking for him, intent on exposing his shameful past.
I shield Jiang Xun behind me and bring my blade down, chopping off his stepfather's head.
Jiang Xun's eye condition flares up again, and his identity as a demon is accidentally exposed. He falls into the mud, where everyone denounces him.
I still choose to shield him, drawing my sword and standing against the entire sect.
The on-screen comments change their tune.
[Senior Sister is beautiful and kindhearted. How could she possibly be a villain!]
[She's clearly an angel!]
[From today on, I'm Team Jiang Xiaobai!]
Even Jiang Xun gives me his most precious snake scale.
[Wasn't the snake scale supposed to go to the heroine?]
[Team Jiang Xiaobai wins! Jiang Xun has fallen for Senior Sister!]
See? Pretending to be a good person is easy. They don't know I was the one who tracked down his stepfather, or that I deliberately exposed his identity as a demon...
I can hardly wait to see the shocked looks on everyone's faces when they discover the truth. But instead, what awaits me is Jiang Xun, looking like a miserable little snake.
Jiang Xun asks plaintively, "Why won't you keep deceiving me?"
