The Villainous Second Male Lead Redemption Plan

Coming soon: After Dual Cultivation with a Paragon of Virtue, see below for the blurb

Blurb

Shen Zhiyu transmigrated into a story about a tyrannical captor, where the System tasked her with redeeming the great villain, Jiang Landu.

Shen Zhiyu, who had read countless novels: Isn't this easy? (Shrugs)

At the time, Jiang Landu was only an eight-year-old child. His parents were dead, and he was homeless, fighting dogs for food. The half-piece of bread he had left was being snatched away by a group of beggars.

Just then, Shen Zhiyu descended like a heavenly warrior, kicked away the beggars trying to steal his bread, and returned it to him.

Jiang Landu stared at the bread, marked with a filthy black handprint. Suppressing the disgust in his eyes, he said gently, "Thank you. You can have it."

Shen Zhiyu's eyes stung: This isn't a great villain at all. He's a sweet little angel with B-king energy!

When everything had followed the script and the boy had been successfully redeemed, she planned to leave. But the System informed her that Jiang Landu had a corruption System, and that its influence had already pushed his corruption level to 99%.

At that moment, the young man was resting his head on her lap. He curved his eyes and smiled at her tenderly. "Last night, A-Yu promised to practice swordsmanship with me tomorrow. Will you keep your promise?"

His voice was so sweet and soft that it made her hair stand on end.

*

Regent King Jiang Landu was cruel and debauched, with countless murders to his name. He was killed beneath a storm of arrows during a palace coup.

When Jiang Landu opened his eyes again, he had returned to the day his family was massacred, when he was eight years old.

A being like a ghost or god appeared in his mind, calling itself a System. Thinking he was only an eight-year-old child, it tried to make him serve it with its meager powers.

When a girl next door clashed with Shen Zhiyu, the corruption System told him to put a sack over her head and beat her up. Instead, he cut out her tongue. When a swordsman fell in love with Shen Zhiyu, the corruption System urged him to break the man's sword. Instead, he tore off the man's arm.

Corruption System: ...Wait, there's something wrong with this Host.

*

The mission failed, and Shen Zhiyu faked her death and disappeared.

When she opened her eyes again, she was locked in a dark room, along with the redemption System and the corruption System.

Jiang Landu was kneeling before her, putting wedding shoes on her feet.

Knowing she was watching him, Jiang Landu tilted his head and smiled. "One wants to guide me out of hell, and the other wants to drag me back into the abyss. A-Yu, who do you think I should let win?"

Only then did Shen Zhiyu realize that Jiang Landu had known everything. His supposed corruption had been nothing but a smokescreen he put on.

He had seen through her from the very beginning.

Reading guide: 1. The male lead's rebirth and the System do not appear at the start. (The male lead is NOT a good person in the traditional sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

2. Strictly devoted: Both leads are inexperienced, one-on-one. The author only writes pure romance.

3. A young boy and girl fall in love (they only become lovers as adults; as children, they're just friends). It's all for fun, so don't take it too seriously.

4. Everything is fictional, with no historical research.

5. The author will add more when they think of it.

Next novel: After Dual Cultivation with a Paragon of Virtue

Shen Lingqiu is the greatest swordsman, virtuous to an almost sinister degree.

Lin Yuan is a flower demon devoted to cultivating the demonic path.

They fought for a thousand years, until Lin Yuan died after the war between immortals and demons.

*

Lin Yuan was reborn in the body of a minor cultivator. The cultivator had neither spiritual bones nor a foundation, and was terribly weak.

To become stronger and take revenge, Lin Yuan chose a shortcut: demonic cultivation.

She set her sights on Shen Lingqiu, the greatest sword cultivator in the world and her greatest enemy in her previous life.

Dual cultivation boosts one's power quickly.

The first time, Shen Lingqiu felt humiliated and nearly killed her.

The second time, Shen Lingqiu resisted at first, then gave in.

By the nth time, Lin Yuan had been tormented by Shen Lingqiu until she was utterly defeated.

Once her power had greatly increased and she no longer needed Shen Lingqiu, she kicked him to the curb.

Lin Yuan ran away.

But she hadn't gone far when she discovered that Shen Lingqiu, the sword cultivator who was supposed to be a paragon of virtue, had turned into a madman. He used every means at his disposal to find her and imprison her, keeping her by his side until the end of time.

Only then did Lin Yuan understand how terrifying someone so virtuous they seemed almost sinister could be when they went mad.

*Male lead's perspective

From the first moment he saw Lin Yuan, he fell hopelessly in love with her. To hold back the wickedness in his heart, Shen Lingqiu chose to look away and kept pining for her for nearly a hundred years. Then one day, Lin Yuan appeared before him wearing another face and tried to seduce him.

That was when he could no longer hold back.
