The Villain Kills the Gods [Western Fantasy]

[New Story in My Column: The White Moonlight Has Returned to Kill Him. A Long-Dead White Moonlight Male Lead Woos a Native Female Lead. Please Add It to Your Reading List!] A bewitching (selfish) heiress who knows how to flirt (and is tired of life), a villainess VS An arrogant (willing to stake himself to control the game), cold-hearted (and full of desire) young man, the Sea God In the eyes of the world, Miss Nemesia, adopted daughter of an imperial duke, is elegant and well-mannered, with extraordinary beauty, despite her taboo-like long black hair. Everyone is enamored with and admires the rumored Miss Nemesia. Until one day, she brings home a blue-haired, golden-eyed young man she found outside. He possesses peerless beauty and a saintly, noble air. People can’t help but sigh over what a perfect match Miss Nemesia and the young man make. Later, in the duke’s manor, a maid cautiously pushes open Miss Nemesia’s bedroom door and sees this scene: in the lavish, exquisitely furnished room, black iron bars fence off a corner. The young man sits quietly inside, shackles around his ankles. Long chains hang from the shackles, their other ends fastened to the foot of Miss Nemesia’s bed. The young man has been imprisoned by Nemesia. Nemesia once had another name: Morian. In the past, she was the greatest mermaid witch beneath the sea. She devoted all her heart to the gods, only to be imprisoned for four hundred years in return. She was trapped in the Sea of No Return. Its black waters surged, and black tears flowed from her eyes along with them. Then, four hundred years later, the waters surged and the heavens and earth shook. The Sea God drove his trident into her heart. Desperate, Morian sacrificed herself, and the god died on the execution platform he had built for her. They died together. When the girl opened her eyes again, she still had long black hair and violet eyes, but black tears would never again flow from them. She plotted and waited for the day she could meet the Sea God once more, until she saw him, stripped of all his memories and transformed into a mortal. “Oh, my god, how dare they hurt this poor, beautiful young man!” With the gentlest, most innocent smile, she reached out to the boy being beaten. Later, the young man who was the Sea God’s incarnation was put in shackles by her and knelt to pray to her. He retreated step by step, yet fell deeper and deeper under her spell. At last, he dropped to his knees and tremblingly spoke those words: “My beloved Nemesia, I love you.” As the god sank into his deepest desires, his sincere confession was met by a gleaming curved blade driven viciously into his heart. The world said the god had felt compassion and fallen into the trap of a mere insect. But only he knew that, through all the twists and turns, the girl before him was the sole source of all his desire. Also known as: The Game of a Crazy Villainess Loved by All After Taming the God, I Killed Him Don’t Fall into the Sea God’s Love New story in my column: The White Moonlight Has Returned to Kill Him [Ding! Welcome, Host, to the world of immortal cultivation: Butterfly Dreams. Your mission this time is to make the female lead, Xie Jingmeng, fall in love with you.] This world has been turned into a sieve by all kinds of transmigrators. Every one of them has a script in hand and a System to help. It’s just that each transmigrator has a different script. One is the male lead of a male-oriented novel about a good-for-nothing rising to power, and he is the younger brother of Xie Jingmeng, the villainess who looks down on the poor and fawns on the rich in the story. Another is the female lead of a sweet, female-oriented master-disciple romance, and Xie Jingmeng’s half-sister. There is also the male lead of a male-oriented novel about a powerful figure being reborn, who is Xie Jingmeng’s fiancé and love at first sight. No matter what story they find themselves in, though, every one of their targets is Xie Jingmeng. But among all the transmigrators’ scripts, Xie Jingmeng is the protagonist only in A Su’s story. A Su is a transmigrator who travels between worlds, helping stories reach their intended endings. His track record is impressive. The world of Butterfly Dreams is his final mission before retirement. It is his first time taking on a character-romance mission, and his target is this world’s female lead: Xie Jingmeng. Unfortunately, the script the System gave him is incomplete, so he dies and restarts again and again while trying to win her over. After repeating the process several times, he finally learns the full story: A Su is Xie Jingmeng’s white moonlight, but he is destined to die young. So A Su changes his approach. He relentlessly builds up the female lead’s affection for him in the early stages, then fakes his death with the System’s help to keep the story on track and become the woman’s dearly departed white moonlight. Finally, just as she is on the brink of death, he plans to stage a heartfelt confession in which he trades his life for hers. A Su thinks his plan is flawless, until the female lead asks, looking utterly confused, “Who are you?” And so, he fails to win her over once again. “Wait, why is there an amnesia trope too?!” After letting out a howl at the heavens, A Su starts over yet again. This time, he must not only avoid an early death, but also make sure the female lead doesn’t forget him. What makes it even harder is that the other transmigrators in this world are starting to run into one another. Xie Jingmeng has been reborn. She feels that her past life was like a startling dream. Whenever her life reached a major turning point, her mind would grow hazy. By the time she came to her senses again, tragedy had already struck. Then time seemed to speed up, and in the blink of an eye she became a demonic villainess hunted by the righteous, trapped in a hopeless fight for her life. Only at the very end did time finally slow down. She saw that the person leading the attack was her fiancé, the man she had fallen in love with at first sight. Standing beside him was his disciple, who was also her half-sister. Beyond the crowd stood her younger brother, who had once protected her with his life, his expression cold. She couldn’t understand how her life had come to this, but before she could look back on the past, a strange young man suddenly appeared before her and took the deadliest blow in her place. The young man had exquisite features, like a figure in a painting, and the words he spoke left her baffled. He said, “...Jingmeng, I love you.” But who was this young man? No one could answer her question. After a brief moment of stunned silence, the righteous, their eyes bloodshot from killing, swarmed toward her. Xie Jingmeng died. But when she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the past. She was back in the days when she was a young, innocent girl, when time still passed slowly. After being reborn, Jingmeng gradually discovers that the people entangled with her in her past life have all changed their attitudes toward her. And the strange young man who confessed his love to her and died for her at the last moment has appeared beside her without warning. “Jingmeng, you promised to take me to see the peach blossoms in the human world in the third month of spring.” “You mustn’t break your promise.” The young man smiles tenderly at her, his eyes curved with warmth. After listening to the young man’s heartfelt confessions again and again, Xie Jingmeng suddenly remembers his name overnight. “They say merfolk are born with peerless beauty. Their tears turn into pearls worth a fortune.” Oh, devoted transmigrators, please wait another lifetime! A reader’s guide: 1. The worldbuilding is my own, and the story focuses on romance. 2. The female lead is a truly evil villainess, adored by all. There are tons of male supporting characters who love her. Basically, it’s a chaotic stew of evil Mary Sue tropes. 4. The female lead is not a virgin; the male lead is. One-on-one romance, happy ending. 5. The characters’ values do not represent the author’s. Everything serves the story and the female lead. 6. For the sake of the beautiful Miss Nemesia, please add this to your reading list~ Theme: Please never forget to fall in love with yourself
