How Can She Not Love Me?

Synopsis: Jiuwu, the villainess in Immortal Path who loves the male lead so obsessively she becomes utterly deranged, awakens. She knows that in the end, she'll love the male lead so much that she'll go astray, betray the immortal sect, and become a demon god everyone wants to destroy. The righteous sects will join forces to kill her, leaving her with a tragic end and no chance of reincarnation. System: Hurry up and mend your ways. Become a good person and change your ending. When the Villainess Comeback System bound itself to her, it didn't know that Jiuwu wasn't normal. Her thoughts were extreme, and she was a complete lunatic. After learning her fate, she'd go even crazier... * At the beginning of the story, Jiuwu is the sect's young master's only junior sister. Xuan Yi. She's exceptionally talented, with an outstanding spiritual root. Humble and gentle, she can draw everyone's attention simply by sitting quietly. Everyone's, that is, except Xuan Yi's. That proud young man is a heaven-blessed genius, born with every advantage. He is unrestrained, arrogant, and disdainful of everyone. He hates her. Jiuwu knows that. But Jiuwu likes him all the same, like a monster lurking in a gutter to spy on him. Even when he looks at her with disgust, she's still infatuated with him. So after learning the plot, she has no intention of changing her fate. Instead, she goes even further and fully embraces her role as the villainess. Before all the protagonists in the story are anything more than weaklings, she becomes a demon in advance... * Male Lead's Perspective: Xuan Yi is the young master of an immortal sect, the only person in the world born with a sword bone. No one knows that his sword bone has a special ability: whenever he makes eye contact with someone, he can hear their thoughts. Admiration, praise, jealousy, resentment: he's grown numb to it all. But among all those thoughts, his junior sister, who seems gentle and quiet on the surface, is dark and deranged inside. Her twisted designs on him make him sick. He loathes her hypocrisy and affected airs, and her near-mad delusions of being in love with him. Until one day, he can no longer hear her thoughts. When he wakes again, she has imprisoned him in a place of utter silence. So quiet that there is only him and her. Like rotting, putrid mud, she crawls up the hem of his clothes and stains him. During that time, Xuan Yi would rather be dead. First came humiliation and disgust, then numbness, and finally... habit. Xuan Yi loathes her, yet gradually finds himself unable to leave her. Later, one time, she is gone for a long while. When she returns, he can hear her thoughts again. She's tired of him. She thinks a young man down the mountain is interesting. She's going to let him go. This time, Xuan Yi is the one who goes mad. #I've fallen in love with the madwoman who imprisoned me. How can she stop loving me? Reading Guide: Forced love and possession, followed by a change of heart. The female lead is a beautiful, sweet-on-the-surface but dark-within lunatic. The male lead is an asshole and cold at first, but later becomes even more lovesick and deranged than the female lead. There are male side characters, and the competition among men for the female lead is intense. The female lead may engage in intimate acts with male side characters. Please read with caution if that bothers you. [Highlight!] The female lead is not a virgin, the male leads are all virgins. The main story ends with a male side character becoming the female lead's partner. The senior brother has an alternate-ending bonus story. [Highlight!] BG romance, not a strong female lead story or a power fantasy. There is angst and heartbreak, so read with caution if that bothers you. Divider Synopsis of The Vile Passerby: After being killed by her secretly loved junior brother sixteen times, Yan Niao awakens and gets bound to a System. The world Yan Niao lives in is a tragic romance about lovers who love and kill each other. The junior brother she secretly loves is the male lead, while she is an unlucky passerby destined to die taking the blame for the female lead. The plot has gone off the rails, and the opening events are stuck in a loop. Yan Niao must follow the plot, take the blame for the female lead, then be branded a traitor to the sect and die a miserable death. Yan Niao agrees. Under the System's confident gaze... She kidnaps the male lead. (I) Yan Niao has loved Chu Xiuyu for five years. She's been so humble that he's killed her sixteen times, and even her resentment only goes as far as taking him to the mortal realm and hiding him there. She can't bear to hurt him at all. Yan Niao doesn't know how to love. She gives him everything she has, doing her utmost. As time passes, Chu Xiuyu grows a little gentler toward her. Just when she thinks her devotion has finally paid off, she overhears him telling someone else: "It was just an act. A vile bandit like her thinks she's worthy of being my wife?" (II) Yan Niao is reborn again, back on the day she kidnapped Chu Xiuyu. This time, she doesn't want to love him anymore. She only wants to live up to the vile person he called her. She crushes his pride, imprisons him in a tiny space, breaks his backbone, and watches coldly as he struggles and rages. He calls her insane, but Yan Niao finds the humiliation and hatred spilling from his throat strangely delightful... (III) The third time she returns to the beginning, Yan Niao is tired. She's sick of being entangled with Chu Xiuyu. She decides to distance herself from the plot. But Yan Niao doesn't know that after she leaves, the heaven-blessed genius whom all beings revere as a god will fall into demonic cultivation... [Male Lead's Perspective] Chu Xiuyu is a heaven-blessed genius recognized by the immortal sects. Exceptionally talented and of noble birth, he is someone all beings look up to but can never reach. In his dreams, a vile kidnapper abducts him to the mortal realm and marries him, subjecting him to endless humiliation. When he wakes from the dream, he lays a net far and wide, waiting day after day as if possessed. She never appears. When they meet again... She's in the bridal chamber that should have been his, gently and carefully styling the hair of a male fox spirit, her every thought and glance fixed on him. Just as she was in his dream with him. His eyes red, he can no longer hold back from calling her "wife." She stands in front of the man, her features cool and distant, and asks in a detached tone, "Who are you?" #Her love is dark and twisted, extreme and vile. She can crush his bones, then cradle his face with a bright smile and tell him she loves him. Then, when she gets bored of him, she just abandons him. Theme: Love isn't about insecurity or winning someone over by pleasing them. Love yourself before you love someone else.
