After I Toyed with the Miaojiang Boy and Cast Him Aside

[I wasn't satisfied with any of the several opening drafts, so I'm putting this off for now]

XP-driven writing / sweet romance

A hypnotist who takes what she wants and then abandons him x a lovesick, possessive young man from the Miao frontier

Yu Luoyi is a naturally gifted psychic who can hypnotize anyone and has never once failed.

While investigating a case, she and her teammates venture into the dense forest. After getting separated from them, she comes across a peerlessly handsome, breathtakingly beautiful young man from the Miao frontier.

When they first meet, Yu Luoyi has been poisoned by a snake and is lost in the woods. The young man wears traditional Miao clothing, the silver ornaments on him chiming sweetly as a little green snake peeks out from his sleeve, frightening her badly.

The young man crouches down. Yu Luoyi looks up into his eyes and seizes the chance to hypnotize him. "Get me out of here."

Just as she expected, he obeys, treating her poison and leading her out of the forest.

He is simply too beautiful. Delighted, Yu Luoyi hypnotizes him time and again, sleeping with him each time.

A few months later, the investigation makes a new breakthrough. Before leaving, she looks into the young man's eyes and hypnotizes him. "Forget me."

After that, she leaves the Miao village and never sees him again.

But one day, after Yu Luoyi says goodbye to her teammates at a crossroads, the streetlights around her go out one by one. A cold little snake coils around her calf.

Yu Luoyi shivers. The next moment, silver ornaments chime all around her. The young man presses against her back, his presence cool, his voice full of seduction and possessiveness.

"Sis, who was that person just now?"

The first is that Yu Luoyi's hypnotism doesn't work on him.

The second is that he once planted a love-bound Gu inside her.

* The male lead falls in love at first sight; the female lead is captivated by his looks.

* Basically, the male lead meets a top-tier succubus before he ever leaves the mountains.

This story has heaps of fictional worldbuilding. Please don't compare it to real life.
