After Failing to Save the Paranoid Villain

Ye Qingshuang was slacking off and reading a heart-wrenching xianxia novel. Its villainous demon was pitifully tragic and impossible not to feel for.

She had once been the most gifted senior sister, but her fellow disciples framed her, her master executed her, and in the end she became a great demon who destroyed the world.

How tragic!

After an accident, Ye Qingshuang transmigrated into the novel as the junior sister, born with an incomplete spiritual root. She was the first person the demon senior sister would kill after turning evil.

Ye Qingshuang: "Oh, crap."

A line of text appeared above her head: Mission: Save the villain...

To save her own life, Ye Qingshuang set out to save her senior sister and keep her from going down the path of darkness.

She gathered cultivation manuals and secret techniques, prepared spirit pills and herbs, stood up for her when her fellow disciples framed her, and protected her when her master tried to kill her. She let the villain experience all the warmth and kindness the world had to offer.

At last, the plot reached the day she was supposed to turn evil. Ye Qingshuang planted her hands on her hips. "The person I've raised could never..." A sword plunged into her stomach.

She swallowed the words "turn evil" as alerts rang in her ears: Mission failed! Mission failed!

Ye Qingshuang was furious. Not only had she wasted all those days looking after her, she had lost her life too. Did a worker's life not count?

She spat out a mouthful of blood, looked at the villain, Luo Ling, and, with the last of her strength, smiled and said, "You're... becoming more and more like her."

Having read the entire novel, she knew the villain hated being treated as someone else's replacement.

Hearing this, Luo Ling turned evil on the spot and used half her lifetime's worth of demonic power to bring Ye Qingshuang back to life.

Looking at the now thoroughly corrupted Luo Ling, the heroine remembered what she had said before dying...

The villainous senior sister narrowed her eyes. "Who do I look like?"

Ye Qingshuang: "Huh? Would you believe me if I said I had amnesia?"

Theme: A blessing in disguise. Don't lose heart when a mission fails; a turn for the better may be just ahead.
