Stalked by a Dark Male Supporting Character

Pre-release story "After Becoming My Nemesis's Disciple" is now open for reservations. Synopsis below.

*Male lead: mad, obsessive, beautiful and strong, with a tragic past + female lead: world-weary, cold-hearted black lotus

Ye Jiyu, a conscientious doctor, transmigrates into a Mary Sue romance novel that is nothing like its title promises.

Faced with the choice between being beheaded in public and loading a save to start over, Ye Jiyu chooses to cling to Jiang Xuan, a minor male character who has had a crush on her since childhood.

To make sure she has an even firmer hold on him, she goes all in and marries him.

She thinks she can clear the game by sticking with her affectionate childhood friend, so Ye Jiyu loads her save again and again to help Jiang Xuan solve cases, even though she gets hurt hundreds and thousands of times.

Later, Ye Jiyu discovers Jiang Xuan's true nature beneath his mask.

She's fallen into a whirlpool. Jiang Xuan is a lunatic, a complete and utter lunatic.

"Get lost!"

Her clean slap lands on Jiang Xuan's face, and he laughs like a madman.

"Do you treat other men like that too?"

"..."

Fine, she can live with him being a little crazy.

She'll just treat him like a dog that won't stop pestering her. He's no threat to her anyway, Ye Jiyu tells herself.

Until Jiang Xuan, eyes wet, takes the bloodstained sword and kills another version of her.

Ye Jiyu sees countless corpses of herself piled up behind Jiang Xuan like a small mountain.

It turns out that every night, Jiang Xuan has been cruelly killing Ye Jiyu's doubles, all so there will be only one of her left in the world.

Jiang Xuan wants Ye Jiyu to stay by his side forever, in this life and every life to come.

Too bad she found out.

Jiang Xuan kneels at Ye Jiyu's feet and looks up at her cautiously. "Are you going to abandon me too?"

"I won't."

Jiang Xuan looks at Ye Jiyu without a word. He drops the sword, tightly hugs her legs, and asks again, "You really won't abandon me?"

Ye Jiyu is already so frightened that she can barely think. She only knows to repeat mechanically, "I won't."

The dog at her feet willingly offers Ye Jiyu the chain around his neck, wagging his tail and begging for her favor.

"Never leave me. Never even think of leaving me."

"I won't."

If she can't escape, she might as well make him work for her.

A mad dog's attacks are brutal and indiscriminate, except when it comes to its elegant, cruel master.

"Your big sister here isn't exactly a good person either."

She gives the chain in her hand a gentle tug and bends down to lift the chin of the person in front of her.

Jiang Xuan is an NPC.

Jiang Xuan likes Big Sister Ye.

Jiang Xuan is also known as Jiang Jibai.

Jiang Xuan is a kind puppy.

Jiang Xuan didn't kill Big Sister Ye.

Jiang Xuan will let Big Sister Ye have her way.

Jiang Xuan won't use a love spell.

Jiang Xuan hates Big Sister Ye to the core.

Jiang Xuan and Big Sister Ye die together for love.

Only one of the above is true.

* Love and hate, both leads are pure, both leads' first time.

* The first half has mild horror and suspense; it's all setup.

* Contains coercive scenes and may be disturbing.

* The male characters are all given random names, and they're not very good.

* The male lead is brooding, obsessive, and a male ghost.

* The female lead has a low moral bar; the male lead has none.

Pre-release story "After Becoming My Nemesis's Disciple"

The immortal Celestial Junqiao finds a fox demon who bears an immortal bone.

The fox demon is still young at the time. "Am I supposed to call you Master? Then you'll teach me amazing immortal arts!"

Junqiao: "...I plan to use you to make pills."

She names the fox demon Liu Yu, after her enemy.

Her enemy is dead, and having him fall into reincarnation to become her disciple and adopted son would be perfect.

In the hundredth year of traveling the world with Liu Yu, she calculates that he is her tribulation of love.

When Liu Yu has completed his cultivation and is ready to ascend,

Junqiao immediately removes his immortal bone, skins him, and tears out his sinews.

Thus, her tribulation of love is overcome, and Junqiao ascends to become a High God.

She absolutely refuses to let some inexplicable tribulation of love stand in her way.

Then the Demon Lord attacks the divine realm. She leads the immortal soldiers into battle and unexpectedly dies in the war.

Reborn, she has forgotten everything except the saying, "People should always strive to rise higher."

Of course the Demon Lord is the most powerful in the demon realm.

Junqiao gets her wish and becomes the Demon Lord's one and only disciple.

She resumes her glorious life, spending her days with the handsome Demon Lord, punishing evil and rewarding good, and teaching those high immortals and high gods a lesson.

In her first year with the Demon Lord, he gives her the name "Junqiao."

The Demon Lord says it's the name of his enemy. His enemy is dead, and having her fall into reincarnation to become his disciple and adopted daughter would be perfect.

Junqiao: "..."

He shamelessly wanted a replacement.

After Liu Yu is skinned and has his sinews torn out by his master, he becomes an evil spirit in the demon realm.

By chance, he finds a spirit stone. It gives him a new body and tells him:

He's the ultimate villain in a book called "Even a Loser Girl Can Find Love."

In the book, Junqiao has countless romantic entanglements and an easy path to godhood.

Her adoptive father is over ten thousand years old and still charming.

The crown prince is a sweet, budding beauty.

The guard has a curvaceous figure and is as beautiful as a celestial maiden.

The coachman has skin like jade and was born beautiful.

The ant is lovely as a flower and delicious to behold.

The catfish has bright eyes and pearly teeth, its beauty enough to outshine the moon.

The piece of foot skin is small and delicate, making anyone want to protect it.

... (Ten thousand words omitted here.)

The Demon Lord has sultry eyes and is a natural-born beauty.

"You're saying I'm that Demon Lord?" Liu Yu asks incredulously.

"Yes. Though you're the villain of this book, after fighting Junqiao day after day, you secretly fall for her. In the end, you kneel at her feet, willingly die for her, and hand over your kingdom!" says the spirit stone.

Liu Yu: "..."

He shamelessly started a harem.

Theme: Persevere against all odds.
