Blurb for this story

[Kindhearted, Clever Little Sunshine Heroine × Scheming, Obsessive Hero]

[Ding! Welcome, Host, to the Continent of Demons and Monsters. Please receive your personal System.]

After finishing a brainless power fantasy about a heroine tormenting men, Lin Suisui was ready to wash up and go to bed. But when she opened her eyes again, she had somehow transmigrated into the book.

Worse, she had become a cannon-fodder female side character who wouldn't even make it through many chapters.

Lin Suisui: This transmigration-into-a-book setup feels familiar. So, who do I have to win over?

System: Sorry, your mission is to change the original male lead's fate and keep him from meeting a dead end.

Lin Suisui stared in disbelief. You mean I have to save that love-struck male lead who gets abused for no reason and eventually dies by the heroine's sword?

To make it home safely, she threw herself into her mission, keeping her eyes on the male lead at all times for fear that he'd quietly drop dead if she looked away for a moment.

But he seemed determined to die...

Lin Suisui had thought he was an ungrateful wretch who couldn't be raised right, until the day they entered an illusion together.

They say that what happens in an illusion is what a person most wants to do.

And what did this lovesick man want most? Get married?

Lin Suisui was speechless with anger. After all her earnest advice, he still only had eyes for the heroine.

Little did she know that the young man was gazing at her profile, wishing he could drown in the illusion.

But he still thought she was even lovelier in reality.

Pei Zhiheng couldn't understand why he always found himself drawn to one particular person, as if it were an order he couldn't disobey.

But ever since she appeared, that strange feeling had vanished.

A little scene

With a red bridal veil over her head, Lin Suisui sat quietly in a room plastered with red wedding characters.

"Didn't we already get married once?"

The young man bent down and kissed the back of her hand.

"We truly love each other. What's wrong with marrying again?"

Lin Suisui unceremoniously shook him off. "Truly love each other? Then why do I remember His Highness Pei always trying to kill me?"

The young man immediately put on a wounded expression, though his words said the opposite.

"If Suisui won't agree, I'll just have to use the same trick as last time and keep you by my side, where you can't go anywhere."

Blurb for After Mistaking the Villain for the Protagonist

[Slightly Oblivious Little Bunny Heroine × Seemingly Cold, Actually Jealous and Unhinged Hero]

Li Jintang opened her eyes and realized she'd transmigrated into a storybook she'd never read.

To make matters worse, she was surrounded by evil spirits attacking an unarmed young man. She figured she'd be next.

Fortunately, she had also received a Book of Fate.

The Book of Fate didn't say who the protagonist was, but the person before her had such a distinctive entrance that she assumed he must be the protagonist. She managed to rescue him and kept him by her side, hoping to benefit from his protagonist aura.

Before long, she ran into two other people who had also mistakenly ended up there. Li Jintang waved them over. "Come on, let's all cling to the protagonist and get home together."

But... after braving danger all this way, why did the leg she'd been clinging to feel more and more wrong?

Could someone tell her where the young man from the beginning had gone? The one who was cautious, distant toward others, yet always managed to escape danger?

Was this the same frail young man who now acted pitiful whenever she mentioned going home, and had even put shackles on her himself?

Oh, she'd mistaken him for the protagonist. The person in front of her was the great villain...

The Book of Fate trembled as it spoke. "Child, think of something! How are we going to escape?"

Knowing he couldn't hear the book, Li Jintang used a little trick to escape from his side.

But the next day, the young man came over a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, smiling as if he and the dead around him belonged to different worlds.

"Want to leave, A-Tang? Why not take my corpse along with you?"

*

When Xie Changyan was first rescued, his spiritual power hadn't yet recovered. To keep receiving treatment from his rescuer, he had no choice but to pretend to be obedient and stay by her side.

Then, once his spiritual power returned, he planned to leave her behind and go on his own.

He considered himself ruthless and skilled at deception, someone who never cared whether others lived or died. He thought he could come and go without a trace of attachment.

He never expected that, for the first time, someone would cry for him as he lay gravely wounded and near death.

Nor had anyone ever cut through the clouds to reach him when he was trapped and helpless.

Then she told him she wouldn't let him die.

But why was there another lunatic coveting her?

What a nuisance. The young man smiled, though the smile never reached his eyes. Then I'll kill them all.

She only needs me.

The day he brought her home, Xie Changyan narrowed his eyes as he listened to the girl plotting with a battered old book about how to get away from him.

#An innocent young man becomes an unhinged demon lord. He really is so in love.

Blurb for the upcoming story, Has the Male Lead Turned Evil Today?

[Abduction and Possession, Atonement and Winning Her Back]

After dying, Xu Songhe transmigrated into a book. Her mission was to raise the male lead's corruption level and help him become a demon.

System: Host, follow the early plot closely and abuse the male lead.

Xu Songhe glanced silently at the bruised young man kneeling on the ground.

?? Are you seriously asking me to do that?

System: "If you don't, Qi Wuyang will kill you first when he begins to turn evil."

Xu Songhe: ...

To finish her mission as quickly as possible, she had to make life difficult for the innocent young man in every way, then secretly give him extra help behind the System's back to ease her guilt.

Thanks to her diligent efforts, Qi Wuyang's corruption level finally reached eighty percent.

On a drizzly day, the air thick with the stench of blood, Qi Wuyang crossed a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, a long blade in hand. He came up to her with a smile and wiped the tears from her cheek.

"A-He, no one will dare hurt you while I'm here."

But the person who truly wanted to hurt him was her...

After turning evil, the young man gave her every last bit of his tenderness. Yet just as he had given himself completely to her, she drove a long sword into his chest, cleanly and without hesitation.

The downpour washed away the rage from his face. The young man could barely speak. "Why?"

Why? Because she wanted to live.

The System had given her the wrong instructions all this time. She had been doing the mission incorrectly, and now the only way to protect her family was to kill the male lead whose corruption level had to be maxed out.

After that, Xu Songhe enjoyed a long stretch of carefree days and was about to marry her gentle childhood friend.

But on the second day of her wedding, she opened her eyes to find herself in a dungeon, her ankles shackled so tightly they hurt all over.

Qi Wuyang bent down, gripped her chin hard, and smiled as tenderly as ever. "A-He, would you come with me to see someone?"

Though he phrased it as a question, he roughly hauled her up, splashing the dungeon's briny water across her face.

Her childhood friend was being forced to bow his head, battered and humiliated after a night of torment.

Xu Songhe begged him to let the man go. The young man smiled faintly. "All right. Then you can take the rest of his punishment in his place."

If she'd been wrong that day, then the endless torment of the past few days should have made them even. He hated her to the bone, and all she felt for him now was fear. That little bit of affection they'd once shared was long gone.

Xu Songhe chose the perfect day to die. Just as her childhood friend's sword was about to reach Qi Wuyang's chest, she threw herself in front of him.

Blood poured from her lips. As the young man's eyes grew increasingly frantic, she closed hers and felt her breath ebb away, bit by bit.

"I never apologized to you. Let this sword be my repayment."

*

Qi Wuyang was the protagonist of a storybook, a man without feelings who devoted himself to cultivation so he could take revenge. Love was an absurdity that should never have been part of his life.

Until he met Xu Songhe.

He was lowborn, and she was the only one who secretly brought him fine food and wine when he was confined.

She was the only one who would rush into danger to save him, no matter the risk.

And she was the only one who would hold him tight with laughing eyes when he lost control of his demonic power, willing to live and die with him.

She blossomed like a bright, beautiful flower in the dark dungeon. How could he not crave that little bit of warmth? How could he not love her until he went mad?

Later, Qi Wuyang watched her drive a blade into his chest, staining his clothes crimson.

Before he could ask why, she cruelly pushed him off a cliff.

When he returned, she was about to become someone else's wife.

He hated her. He wanted to see her suffer and then beg him for mercy.

But after he was rescued, he couldn't bring himself to lay a hand on her even once. And what did she say?

He never wanted her to repay him. How could she be so cruel?

The young man knelt on the ground, bending over to hold the barely breathing girl tight in his arms. His tears soaked her clothes.

Theme: Love can overcome every obstacle.
