The Vicious Beauty Faked Her Death Three Times After Entering a Book [Book Transmigration]

Check out my advance notice, After the Foolish Beauty Pretended to Be a Villain and Faked His Death Three Times. Lin Qinghan transmigrated into a book. He'd landed in a harem novel from a male-oriented site, a story about a broken engagement and a hero's rise to power, which he'd only read one page of. He'd become a disposable character who was destined to be a stepping stone on the protagonist's path to success. The good news: The overpowered hero's life was full of twists and turns, and he had countless villains to trip him up. If Lin Qinghan followed the plot, he could go home without a hitch. The bad news: He had to play three of them, from a personal servant to a vicious senior fellow disciple and then a cold, hypocritical sect leader. He'd gone through every clichéd character archetype there was. But... Lin Qinghan was clearing his plot KPIs fast and well. In just three years, he'd earned a perfect score for faking his death. But nobody had told him that when the plot went off the rails, he'd have to come back and redo it! Lin Qinghan, watched over at his resurrection point: ? Wait, this isn't how the story's supposed to go, is it? And why is the overpowered hero looking at him more and more strangely??? Ling Yanhe was the eldest legitimate son of a prestigious immortal sect family, with a noble status. But because he bore the Heavenly Demon Bone, he'd been beset by misfortune since childhood. He'd do whatever it took to get what he wanted. Until he began meeting the same person again and again. At first, he and the other man fell off a cliff together. Ling Yanhe watched coldly as the man pretended to share his hardship, while secretly plotting with others to kill him. So Ling Yanhe showed no mercy when he planted a Heart Demon Gu in him. The young servant who favored blue clothes really did turn against him at the crucial moment, but he gave his life to help Ling Yanhe awaken the Heavenly Demon Bone and ascend to the supreme path of immortality. Ling Yanhe fell silent for a long time. Only after everything had vanished in the flames did he take the jade pendant that had been deliberately left behind. * They met again at the once-a-decade trial tournament. The vicious senior disciple who had driven him into the forbidden grounds of the immortal sect was narrow-minded, yet had the same eyes full of sighs, pity, and mockery, as if he were a detached onlooker. At the time, Ling Yanhe thought: Perhaps... He has his reasons. Sure enough, this time he died by that man's sword as before. But Ling Yanhe was blessed by misfortune: he won the favor of the demon clan's Holy Maiden, forged an alliance, obtained an ancient divine sword and peerless secret manuals, and awakened a Heavenly Spirit Root. This time, Ling Yanhe dug up his grave and slept beside him for a full day and night before leaving. He also began looking forward to their next encounter. * The third time, Ling Yanhe was disgraced and ruined. The hypocritical leader of the immortal sect kissed the corner of his mouth in front of everyone, then pushed him into the abyss to send him far away from all this trouble. At that moment, Ling Yanhe swore he would never let the other man suffer any harm again. But after he seized the position of Demon Lord and stormed the immortal realm, the other man chose to kill himself without hesitation, all to help him unite the world. This time, Ling Yanhe held the man's corpse in his arms, his Daoist heart shattered as he fell completely into the demonic path. Five years later At the Demon Realm's Yuzhang Palace, in a cold chamber Bright moonlight poured down like water. The little immortal lord, blindfolded, had half his body submerged in a cold spring, letting out a couple of muffled, stifled groans from time to time. The mist had laid a faint pink sheen over his collarbones. From the water came the faint, rustling clink of chains. The Demon Realm's Supreme Lord, dressed in black and sitting with effortless authority, was kneeling by the bank, his head bowed as he tied up his beloved's hair. He let the rushing water soak the hem of his priceless robe. Listen closely, and you could even hear the smile in his voice: [Senior Brother... don't move.] [This cold spring will do wonders for your injuries...] [The dual cultivation runes are a bit hard to endure...] [If you stop running away, I'll unlock your chains. How about it?] #Dude, seriously? I gave you a cheat, and now you want to get with me? #That healing you're talking about, is it really proper healing? #Click to see the ruthless Demon Lord turn into a lovesick idiot [Please note] 1. There's genuine hostility at first. The protagonist is somewhat of a heartthrob, and there will be men competing for his attention. Both leads are virgins. 2. The love interest has no connection to the original harem. Advance Notice: After the Foolish Beauty Pretended to Be a Villain and Faked His Death Three Times Yu Fuxu transmigrated into a book and became a minor villain in an old-school male-oriented novel about a broken engagement and an overpowered hero. His job was to give the hero cheat abilities. The good news: He had already played three major NPCs at the System's prescribed plot points. His KPI for faking his death was already done and dusted. The bad news: Before he could even enjoy his massive bonus, he got called back for a redo and forced into a new secret identity to play the final boss. Filled with resentment, Yu Fuxu leaned back on a white bone chair in the Demon Realm, waiting for the overpowered hero to come and stab him so he could clock out. Hearing footsteps approach, he closed his eyes and gave up, ready to die. But instead of a sword, a soft, festive wedding veil fell over him. Yu Fuxu: ...Huh??? The hero slowly lifted the veil with his scabbard. He had already crouched down, gently winding iron chains around Yu Fuxu's hands. His expression was calm, his tone so eerily composed: "It's been a while, Master. Your disguise skills are still just as terrible." "You really don't want to marry me that badly, huh?" Yu Fuxu, exposed on the spot: ? Wait, this doesn't make sense. He hadn't left any clues behind, had he?! He remembered the jealous Master secret identity A, the two-faced, hypocritical senior brother B, and the head of the Hehuan Sect C, who'd run away on the eve of their union... His eyes widened in shock. Wait, Overpowered Hero, don't take my clothes off! What do you mean I have to take responsibility? Aren't you straight? - Ce Jiangshi knew he was cursed with a life of misfortune: his parents died young, and his siblings never reached adulthood. After joining a sect, he was humiliated by his Master and mocked by his fellow disciples. He had never hoped that anyone would stand by his side. Until that person arrived. At first, the disabled Master who had once abused him changed. When breaking off their engagement, the young man mocked him coldly as he flicked the jade pendant from his waist, revealing a plum-blossom birthmark on the back of his neck. The overpowered hero, now accepted by the foremost family in the world: ? Later, when he switched to the Sword Sect, his Heavenly Demon bloodline was accidentally exposed. He was cast out of the sect and placed under strict confinement, covered in restraining seals. That same man volunteered to watch over him. He cared for him day and night at his lowest point. When he saw him writhing on the ground in agony from his Heavenly Demon blood, he merely snorted and said, "My phoenix blood is the bane of Heavenly Demon bloodlines. You'd better tough it out for forty-nine days so you can keep being my obedient little dog." He used his phoenix spirit blood to cleanse his marrow and helped him endure the forty-nine days. The overpowered hero successfully weathered the tribulation and restored his spiritual energy. When he woke up, he learned that the man had run off. ??? Once again, the greedy head of the Hehuan Sect came knocking with unreasonable demands. Before the meeting even started, Ce Jiangshi caught him red-handed snacking in a corner on a savory scallion pancake. Faced with a long list of harsh demands, Ce Jiangshi agreed to every one without batting an eye. "The Hehuan Sect can betray them and join you in attacking the Demon Lord, but you have to be my cultivation partner." "Fine." "We have to cultivate yin and yang every day?" "Mm." "Um, and we get forty percent of the magical artifacts, treasures, and manuals we loot?" "Done." "I have just one condition. Marry me." "...Fine." Then the man ran away on the eve of their wedding. So now, as he pins the man down on a bed made of rare treasures, Heaven-rank spirit medicines, and a vast sea of books, all glittering gold, he hears the other man complain plaintively: "It's poking into my back... Could you be a little gentler?" "You want to run now? Too late!" Ce Jiangshi grips his waist and hoists him up with force, his voice cold. "Isn't this what you like?" #It's over. I only wanted to hit my summer-break KPIs. #And now I've gone and provoked a gloomy ghost of a man. #Waaah, I'm crying so hard [An adorable, oblivious villain who knows how to tease but doesn't realize it x a vindictive, sharp-tongued, stubborn love interest] [Reading Guide] 1.
