How Does a Heartthrob Become Disciples with Someone Everyone Hates?

Coming soon: Married to the Villainous Wife in a Male-Oriented Novel. Blurb below.

*An aloof, lustful, eccentric woman who attracts everyone × an adorable, devoted puppy who becomes an obsessive yandere*

Everyone in the Three Realms knew the immortal Huai Qiu by name. She had the elegant bones and celestial beauty of a goddess, and everyone wanted to behold her true form and win her favor.

Liu Yi's advantage was that he knew Huai Qiu's secret.

In private, she was not only lazy and slippery, but also completely nuts.

"Little apprentice, I want a corn cake!"

"Little apprentice, wash my clothes."

"Little apprentice, where's my storybook?"

Liu Yi did his best to put up with everything Huai Qiu did. He followed the principle that "anything goes when it's my master" and was willing to use his good looks to make her smile.

Until he learned why Huai Qiu had given him the name Liu Yi, why she had refused to take him in, why she had taken him in, why she had neglected him, why she had whipped him, and why she had personally killed him...

It was all because she had treated him as a stand-in.

A stand-in for her enemy, no less.

Liu Yi had once thought that even if thousands hated and despised him, at least his master loved and protected him.

Only after his soul was scattered did he understand that Huai Qiu's meager love was fake, too.

He was nothing but a stepping stone for her rise to power.

So, when Huai Qiu came back to life thousands of years later and entered the Demon Realm, he resolved to take revenge on her. He would make her wish she were dead and let her taste what it was like to be treated as a stand-in.

He took her as his apprentice and named her "Huai Qiu."

Naturally, his little apprentice asked him why he had chosen the name.

He gently stroked her hair. "Huai Qiu was my enemy. My enemy is dead, and you will live in her place."

Huai Qiu secretly thought the Demon Lord was a complete nutcase.

Everyone in the Three Realms knew the Demon Lord's name. He was so terrifying that everyone feared him. Whenever they saw him, they ran far away, then cowered in a corner and cursed him under their breath.

But Huai Qiu wasn't afraid.

Not only was she unafraid, she planned to use her charms to peel away the Demon Lord's false facade, reveal his true self, and make him obediently fall at her feet.

After all, no one could resist her charm. Even passing butterflies fell in love with her at first sight.

The Demon Lord was a piece of cake.

"Lord Demon, my chest hurts so much~"

"Lord Demon, I twisted my ankle. Could you rub it for me~"

"Lord Demon, your hands are so big~"

The Demon Lord remained unmoved. He even kept his distance and stopped responding to her.

Huai Qiu didn't give up on her seduction plan. Instead, she smiled with wicked interest. "Man, you're really playing with fire."

On a cool, moonlit night, she climbed through the window into the Demon Lord's room and headed straight for the bed.

She failed to seduce the Demon Lord, but under his pillow she found a corn cake, a sash, and a book titled What Does It Matter If I Sleep with Eight Men at Once?

Huai Qiu: ...?

How vulgar.

The Demon Lord's strange collecting habit frightened her into fleeing. In the process, she accidentally knocked open a hidden compartment in his room.

A solemn, majestic statue of a goddess stood before her. The usually stern Demon Lord was nestled in the goddess's arms.

"..."

"..."

The statue's face was identical to hers.

Huai Qiu: ...?

Married to the Villainous Wife in a Male-Oriented Novel

Shen Xi transmigrated into an unusual male-oriented novel and became the male protagonist's wife, who dies horribly in the story.

Su Yu, the male protagonist, is the current Grand Secretary. Handsome as jade and charitable to all, he's admired by countless women in the capital. Such an outstanding Mr. Su married young, and he loves his wife with all his heart.

Shen Xi is the wife her husband loves with all his heart.

Her birth family wields immense power, so even the Grand Secretary has to marry into it. After the wedding, Su Yu is humiliated and abused in every way, while Shen Xi must play the role of a domineering, philandering wife.

[Mission 1: Seduce the male lead's subordinate and slap the male lead]

[Mission 2: Seduce the male lead's colleague and whip the male lead]

[Mission 3: Seduce the male lead's younger brother and break the male lead's leg]

Shen Xi: What kind of NTR and sadist plot is this?

System: Once you finish the plot, the male lead will awaken, start building his career, and gather a harem. Then you can die a beautiful death and exit the story, Host~

For five years, Shen Xi beat and kicked Su Yu. She slapped him, whipped him, and even broke his leg, just as the System instructed... Yet Su Yu still didn't awaken.

After thinking it over, the System told her to kill the male lead outright. Then he would be accidentally reborn, awaken, build his career, and gather a harem!

As the dagger pierced Su Yu's chest, Shen Xi hesitated, unable to bring herself to drive it in any farther. But Su Yu leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"At last, we can go home."

_

Su Yu's parents died when he was three. No one had loved him since childhood. After spending several years begging on the streets, he took the imperial examinations for the first time and achieved top honors in all three stages. He went from rags to riches and became the Grand Secretary, beloved by women throughout the capital.

His good days came to an end when he was twenty.

He became the son-in-law of the Shen family. His wife was a woman with unpredictable moods, named Shen Xi.

One moment, Shen Xi could be wiping the sweat from his cheek, and the next, she could slap him. She could throw him into an icy pond on a rainy day, make him crawl back to his room across the ice in a snowstorm, and force him to eat pig slop and dishwater... Later, he discovered that his wife had betrayed him.

Shen Xi lay asleep in the same bed as one of his subordinates. He stood at the bedside from dawn until dusk.

When Shen Xi woke, she didn't apologize. Instead, she slapped him.

"Do you think you can threaten me?" She looked even more bewitching than usual in her arrogant fury.

He lowered his head and chuckled. "No."

Later, Shen Xi broke his leg in a fit of despair and demanded to know why he still wouldn't leave.

He lowered his head again and chuckled. "No."

Shen Xi had given him his life. She had pulled him out of hell, so he would never leave her.

Repaying a favor is only right.

He wasn't Su Yu, just as she wasn't Shen Xi.

The real Su Yu had been killed by him twelve years ago. He had deceived everyone, including...

*Mad beauty × obsessive male ghost. Neither of them is mentally stable

*The female lead is a virgin, and all male characters are virgins. The beatings are real, and so is the seduction

Theme: People strive for greater heights.
