[Softhearted, dramatic heroine vs. lovesick yandere hero]
Mu Jin is the least talented fairy in the cultivation class. Through relentless effort...
Well, mostly because of one mishap after another befalling the other fairies, she stumbles her way to the final graduation exam: the Cultivation Tribulation System.
The good news is that the System who comes down to the mortal realm with her is her best friend. The bad news is that this careless friend sends her the wrong mission.
The husband she painstakingly and fearfully won over turns out to be the villain!
And her mission isn't to win him over, but to turn him into a villain!
So you're saying I have to make this lovesick guy compete with the male lead for the heroine?
Mu Jin glances back at the man peeling chestnuts and feeding them to her.
Uh... Seems like it's too late.
Reading guide:
1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced, 1v1, happy ending
2. Short story, just for fun
3. The hero is frail
Check out my long-form novel:
[Marriage Before Love]
#I Used Fortune-Telling to Predictably Find a Husband Who'd Be the Death of Me!
#The heroine is scatterbrained and flirts without realizing it. The unhinged hero gets turned into a lovesick puppy.
The old saying goes, don't stick your nose into other people's business. Si Yanmo clearly didn't listen.
She was framed as a witch and died in her previous life. After finally being reborn, she gets a golden finger that lets her tell fortunes and make money.
Then she just has to go and use it to predict the death of Prince Qin, Zhou Yanqing, a man born under an ill-fated star. Now the King of Hell himself is after her.
The man even submits a marriage contract to the emperor and takes her as his wife.
Si Yanmo: Is he trying to marry me, or kill me to keep me quiet?!
It's the kind of devious murder where he gives me a title first, so he can kill me with an excuse!
After the wedding, she uses her silver tongue to talk him into getting her a job in the government.
Si Yanmo is convinced that if she works hard and climbs high enough, his knife won't be able to reach her!
But on the day they're supposed to divorce,
the man stops her as she tries to run off with her packed bags, his eyes bloodshot and his voice trembling:
“Don't go.”
“You like puppies, don't you? I can be one too.”
???
When did I turn the bad-luck star into a dog?
Zhou Yanqing fell for the beauty mark by the corner of the fortune-telling girl's eye the first time he saw her.
To protect her reputation, he proposed to her.
But...
It seems she'd gotten the wrong idea.
As he watches the girl chatter away, trying to convince him not to kill her, all he can think is: A frightened little kitten.
So he puts away his fangs and has her back.
She wants to abolish human sacrifice? He'll do it.
She wants political reform? Then he'll make it happen.
She wants to change the world? He'll make sure she's covered.
Until she opens up to him.
She tells him that in her previous life, she married someone and thought they would be together for life...
He doesn't even hear the part about her revenge plan.
All he knows is that his little madwoman once wanted to spend her life with someone else.
Zhou Yanqing never wanted power, but suddenly thinks that killing his brother and father to seize the throne might not be beyond him.
Only when Si Yanmo is imprisoned in the golden cage the man has carefully built does she realize:
Predicting his deadly calamity wasn't the scariest thing.
The scariest thing is that she has become this man's only way out, and his obsession...
Bonus scene:
When Si Yanmo climbs what she thinks is the peak of success as Prince Qin's royal diviner,
she realizes that even more people want to kill her.
“I thought I was supposed to get the everybody-loves-me story!”
Waaah, it's too high up.
I'd rather climb back down. Then there's only one person trying to kill me!
