Wicked female exorcist x Black-hearted puppet male lead

*

Yin Zhiyi transmigrates into the evil supporting female character in the supernatural novel The Celestial Master.

She is vile and unscrupulous, commits every kind of misdeed, and meets a tragic end: some unknown villain skins her alive and turns her into a human-skin puppet.

Newly transmigrated, Yin Zhiyi looks at the second male lead beside her, the one she's been tormenting, and cries tears of remorse in her heart. She's the worst!

This second male lead devoted to her, handsome, and gentle, and she still tormented him.

It's just not fair!

To avoid the original host's fate, she decisively steers clear of the plot and focuses on living peacefully. From time to time, she lends a hand to the beautiful, frail, and pitiful second male lead.

Yin Zhiyi thinks she's such a good person.

Completing her mission to win over the second male lead is just around the corner.

Until one day, the ridiculous System pops up and tells her: [Dear, Yan Shiman isn't the second male lead. He's the big villain who skins you alive~]

[Your mission isn't to win over your target. It's to stay away from him~]

Yin Zhiyi is stunned, then breaks down. "Why didn't you wait until I was dead to tell me?!"

--

Yan Shiman has always wanted to turn the young city lord into a human-skin puppet, so she can taste what it's like to be the lowest, most contemptible kind of plaything, controlled by others.

Just as he's about to act, strange voices ring in his mind.

[Such a slender waist.]

[Is this $#& I'm wearing actually @#$ proper?]

[She's so adorable! An innocent little puppy, all hot and bothered!]

The sharp knife in his hand clatters to the ground. The young man's face is gloomy, but the tips of his ears turn pink.

--At first, Yan Shiman is sure this is a scheme.

--Later, Yan Shiman is sure Yin Zhiyi is madly in love with him.

After cursing out the ridiculous System, Yin Zhiyi discovers it isn't entirely useless. At least it has a golden finger: mind reading.

System: [A special gift from me. Just touch someone to use it~]

Then she hears--

...This doesn't seem right?

*

Bonus scene--

System: [Host, are you moved?]

Looking at the screen full of mosaics...

Yin Zhiyi: "I don't dare move."

The big villain who used to skin her now wants to seduce her? Just thinking about it is a little horrifying.

Reading Guide:

■ The male lead really does want to kill the female lead early on, but later he becomes extremely, hopelessly love-struck. Once he falls for her, she is his whole world!!!

■ Happy ending, one-on-one, both are pure.

■ A disclaimer: the male lead is a little crazy, and his thought process isn't exactly normal (though he's not that bad).

■ The male lead can read minds in the first half, and the female lead can read minds in the second half. (His feelings change in chapters 40-41, and she starts reading minds in chapter 44.)

■ The male lead is very good at putting on an act, and will cry and beg for forgiveness.

Theme: Justice will endure!
