Reborn as the Sickly Villain's Childhood Sweetheart

Luo Yan transmigrates into a book.

From the start, her family is destroyed, and she is about to head to the capital to seek refuge with the male lead, only to become the white moonlight who dies taking a sword for him.

She promptly turns around and, along the way, picks up a handsome young man. Then she hides away with him in a mountain village.

Who knew the System would show up late but eventually arrive, declaring:

One: The male lead has yet to set out on his adventures. Get back on track, now.

Two: Your childhood sweetheart is the villain.

Luo Yan waves dismissively. “No way.”

Noticing her gesture, Zhu Yun tilts his head and smiles sweetly, while pressing a bleeding severed finger into the mud with his foot.

System: “…”

*

Forced by the plot, Luo Yan has no choice but to leave. She leaves a letter, telling Zhu Yun to wait obediently for her, then finds an opportunity to “die” in front of the male lead.

As her consciousness slips away, she seems to see him push through the crowd and stumble toward her…

When she opens her eyes again, two years have passed.

The System howls in panic:

“Host! Host! The villain is about to kill the male lead!”

Luo Yan struggles out of the ice coffin. “Don’t slander A-Yun.”

A rainy night.

Luo Yan makes her way around a mountain of corpses and sees a tall, elegant young man standing atop a temple. She tentatively calls, “A-Yun.”

The young man is not surprised in the least. He smiles faintly, his expression seeming a little deranged in the flashes of lightning. “This stand-in looks quite a lot like her. Tell me, what kind of death would you like?”

Luo Yan backs away as fast as she can and says in a trembling voice:

“Sy-sy-System, I think my childhood sweetheart really is the villain.”

Forthcoming novel: I Lost My Memory After Winning Over the Dragon-Boss

◆ Spoiled young lady X a loyal dog who seems refined and noble but is actually a madman

Mu Yao transmigrates as a cannon-fodder character. To make matters worse, her memories are incomplete, and she can’t even remember the Dragon-Boss’s name.

But you can never go wrong with doing a good deed every day.

After so many poor boys she rescued have filled her household to capacity, yet no one has come looking for trouble, Mu Yao takes the best-looking and most useful one with her and calmly leaves home to study.

Jing Xu takes care of her daily needs, and fulfills her wishes whenever necessary.

She longs to experience the scenes from the romances she reads, so Jing Xu takes her stargazing. When she sees other people being affectionate, Jing Xu bends down and lets her explore. When she’s curious about men’s bones, Jing Xu…

But outside their residence, the young lady orders him to pretend they don’t know each other in public.

Unfortunately, they are both so eye-catching that their relationship is quickly exposed. The young man, fresh from his bath, turns to ask, “Is this troubling you, Miss?”

Her gaze follows the water droplets over his lean, toned body, and she answers honestly, “Not really.”

“Mm.” The young man smiles with satisfaction.

One day, Mu Yao unexpectedly recovers her memories and learns that Jing Xu is the male lead in the book, and that they knew each other long ago.

Her friend rushes over with the news: “There’s a rumor that a woman toyed with Jing Xu and then abandoned him. He wants revenge, and he really did sneak into her household.”

She finishes settling the accounts and flees in the middle of the night,

only to wake up the next day in Jing Xu’s arms.

His voice chokes with emotion. “Since we met, I’ve washed your clothes and cooked your meals. I wouldn’t even let you lift a finger in bed. Do you believe him or me?”

Mu Yao, bound tightly: “You…”

“Good.” Jing Xu bows his head and rests it on her shoulder, but his gaze is icy as he fixes it on the person spreading rumors. He mouths: Get lost.
