There's No Way She Really Wants to Kill Me

Sixteen-year-old Kui Xi transmigrated into a world of cultivation that defied scientific understanding, bringing with her a body with congenital heart disease.

Danger lurked everywhere. On her first day after transmigrating, she ran into a hideous ghost with a blue-green face and fangs.

Later, just when she thought she was going to die in this strange and terrifying world, things took an unexpected turn.

She met a good person.

He was a cultivator named Wen Ruyu, young, gentle, and sincere in all matters of the heart.

He saved her, then gave her a pill that made her nearly stopped heart beat again.

Adrift in this world like duckweed, she could only seek his protection in the name of repaying her debt, trying her best to survive.

She began to cultivate, clumsily and with great difficulty. He never complained that she wasn’t suited to cultivation. Whenever he had free time, he would guide her and teach her how to dispel evil spirits and protect herself.

Though he didn’t have much money, he spent it on dresses for her so she could fit into this world.

When danger arose, he shielded her, keeping her from harm.

Kui Xi also discovered that she had an ability no one else possessed: she could see people’s souls.

When Wen Ruyu learned about it, he smiled gently and said, “That’s wonderful. From now on, you’ll be able to tell humans from ghosts and demons at a glance.”

Under his clear, pure gaze, she felt shy and happy.

They traveled together. She knew his ambition was to relieve the suffering of the world and cure the ills of humankind.

It was easy to fall in love with him.

Later, he told her he was going to the Sacred Mountain to seek the Kunlun Pearl and save his mother. As they parted, he stroked her hair and kissed her, telling her that there were said to be immortal herbs on the mountain too, and that he would surely find some for her. His ears turned red as he said, “Wait for me to come back.”

But Kui Xi waited a long time, and he never returned.

When she saw him again, he had become the Lord of Dongyun. He was powerful and cold, able to command Dongyun’s cultivators to fight at his side.

Kui Xi stood among the crowd, gazing up at him. He seemed to sense something and looked down at her indifferently, as if she were an ant, before quickly turning away.

But Kui Xi’s heart suddenly began to race.

That wasn’t Wen Ruyu. She could see it. The real Wen Ruyu’s soul was beautiful and pure. How could it be that filthy black?

Kui Xi decided to avenge Wen Ruyu.

But she was so weak. How could she possibly avenge him easily?

The hero’s perspective

[She really does have eyes and a heart only for me.]

[She loves me so much. How could she want to kill me?]

[There’s no way she really wants to kill me.]

A beautiful, frail but tenacious heroine × a hard-to-describe, love-struck hero. Sweet romance.

Original title: Kui Xi. The protagonist and supporting-character sections are only there to display the commissioned art!

Essential reading guide:

1. Romance-focused, with lots of interaction; the plot is only there to support the romance. Both leads are virgins. Neither is perfect, and they each have flaws. Most importantly, the heroine is frail, and the body she transmigrated into makes cultivation very difficult.

2. The writing is amateurish. This is not a female-empowerment story, not a strong-female-lead story, and not a power fantasy. The pacing is slow. The blurb is told from both perspectives, and the first half only shows the hero as the heroine sees him.

3. This is a self-indulgent story. It is not a “make him regret it” romance, and I can’t give away spoilers. In short, it is not a “make him regret it” story where the hero hurts the heroine physically or emotionally! It is not a heart-wrenching, physically or emotionally abusive “make him regret it” story! I personally think it’s sweet.

4. The core idea behind this story is that two souls will always be drawn to each other, no matter the circumstances, no matter how many times they meet for the first time, and no matter what he becomes. That was the inspiration behind this story.

5. Most important of all: This was written by rolling my face over the keyboard. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. Everyone has different tastes, so please respect each other’s preferences. If it’s not for you, move along. Let’s all enjoy reading in peace. Please don’t say anything cruel, and don’t mistake your own theories about the plot for the actual story. Lots of love, and thank you!

Complete novel: It’s Okay, Take Me Away, a sweet treat

Fantasy story coming soon: The Hero Is Finally Reborn (working title)

Fu Sui is a notorious female demon, ugly and ruthless. Through force and coercion, she took Bai Liyu, the most beautiful man in the immortal realm, as her husband. After the wedding, she locked him inside her cave. Later, people heard she had tamed him, that he loved her devotedly, and that they had become a famous model couple across the Three Realms.

Bai Liyu had something to say about that before he died.

“I couldn’t beat her in a fight, and I couldn’t outdo her in ruthlessness. If I disobeyed, she wouldn’t feed me. She even made me take aphrodisiac pills. If I didn’t sleep with her, I’d explode and die. What could I do? I could only grit my teeth and go along with her.”

“What? Did I try to run away? Of course I did! The moment I ran, she threatened to cut off my leg. Actually cut it off, not just break it where it could heal! I immediately dropped to my knees in tears and served her for three days and three nights before she finally let it go.”

“You say there’s no point living like that? But she said that even if I died, she’d turn me into a puppet corpse and lock my soul inside. I wouldn’t remember anyone but her, and I wouldn’t have to do anything else, just spend all day doing this and that with her.”

“If I could live again, I would definitely...”

Bai Liyu never expected his words to come true. He really was reborn, a hundred years before he met Fu Sui.

At first he was overjoyed, spending three months playing and doing as he pleased. Then, one night three months later, he dreamed of Fu Sui. When he got up in the middle of the night, he felt a little dazed. Thinking about how much she had loved him, and how she had even taken a sword for him before she died... Though she hadn’t managed to block it and had been run through instead, at least they had once been happy together.

So he decided to secretly visit her and help her before she was disfigured, so she wouldn’t become twisted by her disfigurement and end up forcing him into marriage.

--

When Bai Liyu found Fu Sui, she was still a junior sister at an obscure little sect. Quiet, well-behaved, and beautiful, she looked nothing like the ugly, arrogant woman she would become.

On the very first day he secretly followed her, he discovered two things.

First, Fu Sui liked her senior brother.

Second, Fu Sui’s senior brother looked eighty percent like him.

Bai Liyu: “...”
