After I Humiliated the Villain, He Loved It

After transmigrating into a book, Ci Ying was forced to play all kinds of female cannon-fodder roles. Only by helping the villain Wen Qi complete his corruption arc could she regain her freedom.

At seven, she was the snobbish childhood friend who stabbed him in the back.

At seventeen, she was the young lady who falsely accused him of stealing.

At twenty-three, she was still the madwoman who imprisoned and beat him...

The System couldn't understand why her eyes were always full of tears. Hurting the person she loved with her own hands always broke her heart.

Wen Qi, the popular villain in Everlasting Life, was a peerless genius and the strongest fighter around, as well as the very picture of a beautiful but tragic character.

And Ci Ying was his number-one fan.

Even before she transmigrated, she'd imagined countless times how she might treat Wen Qi's past more kindly, even if only a little.

She tried her best to exploit loopholes in the System to show him some warmth, but all she got in return was Wen Qi's coldness and mockery.

"What's wrong? Didn't you eat today, miss? You're hitting me so lightly."

With no other choice, Ci Ying slapped him again.

A flush immediately rose on the young man's icy, jade-like face. He lowered his eyes and bent his knees slightly.

Even the slightest kindness from an evil person is enough to make people sick.

Ci Ying secretly cried: Boohoo, it's okay. How is pure hatred not the most intense kind of love?

On the day the story ended, Ci Ying watched Wen Qi return from the Ten Thousand Ghost Cavern, having barely escaped death. He was covered in blood and barely recognizable. Tears of anguish fell from her eyes.

[Danger detected nearby! Plot deviation! Searching for cause...]

Ci Ying knew Wen Qi must hate her. She stood there stiff-necked, waiting to be killed... but the one who logged off was the System! Hey!

"The thing threatening you is gone." Wen Qi crushed the trembling ball of light, took Ci Ying's hand, and pulled her into his arms. "Don't be afraid..."

His other hand naturally moved to the back of her neck, his hot breath falling against her skin. "I know I look terrifying now, but I'll be better later..."

Wen Qi leaned closer, resting his forehead against hers. His voice was gentle. "I like you. What about you?"

-

Ci Ying asked, "When did you start liking me?"

Wen Qi thought for a moment, then took her hand and pressed it against his cheek, savoring the memory in earnest. "That day, your hand smelled so nice when you hit me."
