I Picked Up the World-Destroying Villain as My Husband

Please leave a rating once you’ve finished! My new novel, After Humiliating My Aloof Senior Brother, is now underway. [Blurb] ● Sunny, lively, straightforward heroine x beautiful, tragic villain with a very ghostly vibe Chu You transmigrates into a melodramatic, explicit novel. Powerful men fight over the heroine, a Holy Maiden, and slaughter countless innocents. Unluckily, she becomes one of those innocents. She flees to a remote village and shuts herself away to live a quiet life. She even happens to bring home a badly injured beauty, and unexpectedly spends a passionate night with him. He is gentle and sickly, coughing every few steps in the wind, but he’s a wonderful cook. As time goes by, they fall in love and marry before the whole village. When Chu You returns at dusk, there’s always a hot meal waiting at home. Resting her chin in her hands, she smiles as she watches the man mending her sleeve. Suddenly, she thinks she wouldn’t mind living like this forever. But their good days don’t last. A sect and several prestigious families come looking for them, clamoring to kill a demon. The gentle, beautiful Holy Maiden tearfully urges him to return to the righteous path. In front of Chu You, her frail husband snatches the Holy Maiden away and snaps the sect leader’s neck. He flicks away the blood and says calmly, “Return to the righteous path? I am the righteous path.” Only then does Chu You realize that he is the world-ending villain in the book. Before long, he’ll slaughter all fourteen continents for the woman he loves. She ends the relationship on her own. Chu You: Bye-bye! * Rumors across the Fourteen Continents say the Emperor is deeply devoted to the Holy Maiden and, after turning demonic, insists on abducting her to his Demon Palace. But no one knows that a mortal woman once took him in, sweet-talked him into marrying her, then kicked him to the curb. Xuan Li is vindictive to the extreme and wants nothing more than to kill Chu You. After she abandons him, he sends out a wanted notice across the Fourteen Continents. At first, he only wants to capture her and bring her back. Later, Xuan Li steps over a field of corpses and reaches out toward the figure at the cliff’s edge. His voice is hoarse. “Come here.” The wind lifts her pale-yellow ribbons. Chu You’s eyes curve into a smile. “Never again.” She steps back and falls headfirst into the Sea of No Return, leaving no body behind. The usually arrogant Emperor’s expression shatters. * Xuan Li refuses to believe Chu You is dead. He searches every corner of the Fourteen Continents, determined to find her. Even if all he finds is her corpse. He builds a magnificent palace and forges a golden bell. Once he finds her, the bell will be fastened around her snow-white ankle. They exchanged vows before heaven and earth, so she is his wife. And a wife should never be parted from her husband. * But when he finally sees Chu You again, Xuan Li kneels beside her bed and places the golden bell in her hand. He takes her hand and guides it slowly across his face, stopping at his bobbing Adam’s apple. Chu You: “…What do you mean?” His gaze, dark and damp, licks over her face. Xuan Li says hoarsely, “Be your dog.” *One-on-one romance, single-couple, happy ending *The heroine transmigrates in her own body and is highly skilled in combat *Gothic, melodramatic angst, a tale of love and hate written for the author’s own enjoyment *Includes a faked-death plot. The male lead has no idealized first love, and both leads are faithful in body and heart.

Please add it to your reading list =3= ● Spoiled, sickly young lady who pretends everyone hates her but is secretly adored by all x cold, restrained senior brother who’s the strongest around Mei Nian hates her senior brother, Lu Yuji. He barely talks, he’s boring, and he never tries to please her. Every day, he tells her what to wear, when to sleep, when to take her medicine, and who she can see. But he has two good points: He lets her hit and scold him without ever fighting back, and he quietly cleans up the messes she makes. * As the most revered young lady in Lingxiao Palace, Mei Nian is spoiled, ill-tempered, and never deigns to look anyone in the eye. Born frail and unable to cultivate, she hates all those heaven-blessed prodigies in the Four Realms of the Immortal Capital. They give her strange looks and often mock her for being unable to cultivate. Mei Nian hates that more than anything. Anyone who dares insult her gets a hard slap across the face. Lu Yuji can hold the Four Realms at bay with a single sword, so no one dares come after her while he’s around. Later, Lu Yuji dies. Only then does she understand what those strange looks meant: They lusted after her. The arrogant prodigies drop their disguises and trap her in front of Lu Yuji’s coffin, their feverish gazes demanding to know whom she’ll choose. Mei Nian suddenly hates Lu Yuji with all her heart, hates him for dying too soon, hates him for leaving her behind. “I choose Lu Yuji.” * Mei Nian is reborn. Lingxiao Palace is still there, and Lu Yuji is still alive. He’s holding a bowl of medicine, bent over to feed it to her. The medicine is bitter, stinging her nose. She stares at Lu Yuji and says, “I hate you.” His hand pauses as he feeds her. He asks gently, “Is the medicine too bitter? I bought candied fruit from that shop at the foot of the mountain…” He stops mid-sentence and stares at her, eyes wide. Mei Nian throws her arms around him, holding so tight it’s as if she wants to strangle him. Warm liquid seeps into his clothes. Lu Yuji hears her say: “Lu Yuji, I really… hate you so much.” * Mei Nian accidentally discovers Lu Yuji’s secret. He loves her. From then on, she has a new pastime: teasing and tormenting Lu Yuji. She watches him press his lips together and endure it, the veins on the back of his hand rising, his eyes turning away in embarrassment, unable to look her in the eye, yet never daring to cross the line. Later, Mei Nian takes her teasing too far and is forced to discover Lu Yuji’s second secret. Her senior brother has dragon blood in his veins. The kind that lets him transform into a dragon.
