Handbook for Raising a Frail Villain

Blurb:

In the novel The Dominant Immortal Lord Falls in Love with Me, the male and female leads' cultivation romance is so sweet and lovey-dovey that readers cry out:

[Can't this book have a world-destroying villain?! Without a male supporting character to set her off, how can the heroine look like such a catch?]

Turning a perfectly good sweet romance into a tragedy is truly a once-in-centuries sort of absurd request.

Wen Mianyue transmigrates into the book and the System orders her to choose a male supporting character and turn him into a supervillain! The villain is cunning, deranged, and evil! He imprisons the heroine... and meets a terrible end! He's struck dead by five bolts of lightning!

Wen Mianyue searches all over the book, but can't find a single male supporting character who can turn evil!

Well, there is one: Ling Huaze, an ailing male supporting character who has a crush on the heroine and is so sick he's nearly at death's door...

And so...

Day one of raising him:

Wen Mianyue waves a portrait of the heroine in front of Ling Huaze. "Do you like her? You know you can take her by force, right?"

Ling Huaze wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiles gently. "A gentleman doesn't force anyone to do what they don't want."

Day two of raising him:

Wen Mianyue pushes Ling Huaze between the male and female leads, then tells the male lead, "He says he wants to compete with you fairly!"

But Ling Huaze, sitting in his wheelchair, holds out a friendly hand to the male lead and says with a pale smile, "I wish you two happiness."

Day three of raising him:

Wen Mianyue goes to see Ling Huaze, only to discover that he's so sick he's about to kick the bucket...

She feeds him a demonic pill and rubs his back. "Fall into demonic cultivation, Ling Huaze! Villains always become demons, then steal the heroine away from the male lead!"

It's the first time Wen Mianyue sees the gentle, jade-like invalid show her a trace of a deranged smile.

The frail villain stops pretending and is successfully raised into one... except the person he wants to take by force isn't the heroine!

It's her, the hapless sucker!

Wen Mianyue flees in the middle of the night!

But a skeleton completely imprisons her within its bones.

As they cuddle close, a sickly voice from the bones murmurs, "Xiaoyue, I don't want anyone else. I only want you."

[Host, I forgot to tell you: the frail male supporting character you really wanted to raise has been dead for several lifetimes...]

Just then, the System tells her that the frail villain by her side is actually an incarnation of a deranged Skeleton Ghost King!

Later, she decides there's nothing wrong with warming a Skeleton Ghost King's bones, but he keeps rubbing up against her. He says the body is a gift from one's parents, yet he always wants to turn her into his ghost queen and merge them into one.

"Isn't it nice to have part of your bones inside mine?"

"..." He's sick, seriously sick!

When the Skeleton Ghost King grows flesh and blood, his bloodthirsty scheme begins. He intends to slaughter the troublesome protagonists in the book, possess her, claim her, and drag her down with him.

Wen Mianyue doesn't understand. She came to raise a villain, so how did she end up... winning one over?

A frail, gloomy, cunning Skeleton Ghost King × a cannon-fodder female character who transmigrates into a book and raises the wrong villain

A friendly warning: The male lead is a sick and "frail" skeleton ghost. His skeletal form is sensitive to the cold, so he'll sob and beg the heroine to warm his bones~ When she warms him, he'll cry from the pleasure and beg her for even more warmth.

Please add the author's upcoming book, He Went Mad After I Died on His Wedding Day, to your favorites (with manual starry eyes).

Zhiwan loved Shen Mochen for ten years.

At six, Zhiwan shamelessly chased after him, shouting that she loved him. At sixteen, she defied her family and married him.

After their wedding, Zhiwan tearfully sent him off to war.

The young general was gone for three years.

During those three years, Zhiwan devoted herself to serving her parents-in-law and waiting for his return.

But when he came back victorious and the whole city celebrated,

Zhiwan saw an unfamiliar young woman standing beside him.

Beiqiao was Shen Mochen's lifesaver.

In this love triangle, Zhiwan humbled herself and gave way, yet he pointed his sword at her heart.

"Qiao Zhiwan, why did you poison Beiqiao?!"

His repeated accusations pierced her ears.

Zhiwan bites her lip, bewildered and at a loss. Her explanation sounds all the more feeble.

Not long after, festive suona music rings through the General's residence.

Standing in the rain, Zhiwan watches Shen Mochen marry someone else in his wedding robes. The sight cuts especially deep.

Even when Zhiwan plunges a cold blade into her heart and falls into a pool of blood, Shen Mochen never looks back at her.

A hundred years after the young woman dies, Shen Mochen walks the road to the underworld.

"Shen Mochen! I love you!"

He turns around, but there's no one behind him.

All the ghosts roaming the underworld at night fear this man, who is more terrifying than Yama himself.

Even dressed in white, he cannot conceal the killing intent around him.

The Demon Venerable Shen Mochen searches heaven, earth, and even the underworld for his wife for a hundred years, but never finds so much as a wisp of her soul.

Shen Mochen knows she must hate him to the core.

*

After Zhiwan dies, Shen Mochen finally learns that he was trapped in a magic formation.

He and Zhiwan were merely prey imprisoned in the formation, made to experience love. They were fated to be young lovers who eventually became strangers.

After breaking the formation, Shen Mochen defies fate, all to find her.

But when he finally finds her, he hears that she's about to marry someone else.

"You said you loved me."

Zhiwan lifts her eyes. She looks nothing like the girl who once loved him, and turns to step into another man's wedding sedan.

But how can he let her marry someone else?

Not long afterward, all three realms learn that the Demon Venerable Shen Mochen, desperate to reclaim the one he loves, tears out his own demonic root and ultimately goes completely mad...
