After I Deceived the Black Lotus Into Giving Me Her Body and Heart, She Faked Her Death

My other book, My Frail Husband Is the Villain, is already out. Please add it to your collection!

Yu Rong transmigrates into a book. To get home, she has to win over Mu Yifeng, the dark-hearted second male lead.

The beautiful young man has an innocent, bewitching face, but only Yu Rong knows he's a gloomy, obsessive, twisted, ruthless madman who slaughtered his fellow disciples.

*

To win him over, Yu Rong works herself to the bone trying to please him. But the long-awaited chance to be alone with him turns out to be a murderous trap of Mu Yifeng's own design.

The young man slowly wipes the blood from the dagger in his hand with a handkerchief and walks toward her. His smile is gentle as a god's, but his gaze is murderous as a demon's.

He leans close and whispers in her ear, his voice horrifyingly gentle: “On the fourteenth day of the seventh month, the gates of hell swing open. Tell me, how would you rather die: eaten by evil spirits or torn apart by vengeful ghosts?”

*

Mu Yifeng has never met anyone as stupid as Yu Rong.

After being injured while slaughtering the demons in his sea of consciousness, he wakes up in the girl's arms.

He replies with disgust, “Get lost.”

“What happened to you?”

His voice hoarse, he answers coolly and mockingly, “Leave. There's no point in me living anyway. I might as well see what it's like to die. I'm a little curious.”

“I'm not leaving. If you're going to die, then let's die together! We can keep each other company.”

His long fingers brush her neck as he smiles cruelly and wildly. “Fine. Come die with me.”

Mu Yifeng has always wanted to kill her, but eventually realizes he can no longer bear to.

He wants to kill anyone who comes near her.

Someone looks at her for too long, and he gouges out their eyes.

Someone accidentally touches her, and he dislocates their arm.

Then he returns home as though nothing happened, wearing a sickly, satisfied smile. “I bought a house on the outskirts of town. Let's move there together.”

*

After countless hardships, Yu Rong finally reaches the last step. To complete the final affection requirement, she deliberately arranges to die at the hands of the big boss.

She's finally about to leave this world, but the once-arrogant dark-hearted man is covered in blood, his voice hoarse. “Please, don't go.”

She smiles at him. “Live well. Wait for me to come back.”

(This is the author's first book. I'll gradually improve my writing, so please don't flame me.)

[Sweet, gentle, sunny girl vs. seemingly kind, nurturing man who is actually a fiercely possessive, beautiful and tragic ghost]

Su He transmigrates into a book as a minor character who is supposed to die in a massacre to pave the way for the male lead's immortal cultivation.

To avoid the tragic ending of the original story, she decisively heads to the countryside.

On the way, she happens to pick up a young swordsman whose sect has just been wiped out.

The young man, Cang Xuan, is grateful for her kindness. He takes the initiative to clean, cooks for her, and helps drive away her wicked relatives.

As they spend time together, they get married.

When it's cold, she burrows under the covers while he brings her sweet soup, blowing on it to cool it before handing it to her.

Su He thinks she'd be happy living this way.

*

One day, the System suddenly appears and tells her that her husband is a villain.

“He is utterly ruthless and devoid of humanity. He once massacred three cities and didn't spare even the babies.”

Su He looks at Cang Xuan, still doing her laundry. “Impossible. Absolutely impossible.”

She blocks the System.

Until one day, she returns from a wedding banquet and finds righteous cultivators at her door.

She hides in the shadows and watches her gentle husband point a finger. Several disciples' heads fall to the ground.

He calmly wipes away a drop of blood. “A bunch of ants, and you dare claim to be acting in Heaven's name?”

The System shows her a clear path: [Die in the massacre and receive a reward: restored immortal bones and a new life.]

Su He understands.

That night, she leaves a divorce letter behind and slips away.

When the Demon Lord hears the news, he tears up the divorce letter and roars in fury: “Search every inch of the land and bring her back.”

*

There is a widely known secret in the demon realm.

Their unsmiling Demon Lord was once picked up by a mortal woman and spent two years living as her husband in a quiet, ordinary life.

He built her a palace of jade and gold, massaged her, and combed her hair, like any loving husband.

Then she left.

He searched for a hundred days and nights, finally sensing her presence.

But just as he found her, he watched her fall with a sword through her chest.

All that remained in his bare hands was a body growing cold.

After that, the Demon Lord went mad.

He entered the underworld alone and searched every inch of the River of Settling Dust for her soul.

He found nothing.

Then he plunged into the Abyss, searched through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, inspecting the remains one by one.

None were her.

He refused to believe she was dead.

He rebuilt her palace and used forbidden magic day and night to return to the battlefield on the day she died, trying to catch her before the sword fell.

He failed a thousand times.

He slept with her ashes in his arms for three years.

Until, at last, he saw that familiar figure again.

She now had a new identity as a junior sister in an immortal sect.
