A Guide to Winning Over the Brooding Second Male Lead

Shen Ranxing transmigrated into a book. Danger lurked everywhere in this world, and on the very day she transmigrated, she offended Bai Chenjin, the original novel's second male lead. The bad news: Bai Chenjin was wrapped head to toe in plain white bandages. Everyone feared him as a madman, and he showed even a hint of humanity only toward the original heroine. Anyone else who offended him had long since become fertilizer for the grass on their grave. The good news: She knew why Bai Chenjin treated the original heroine differently. So she imitated the original heroine, coaxing and deceiving him, and trembling with fear as she managed to stay alive. She worked hard to maintain her character and earn Bai Chenjin's protection. Not only did she survive, she also built a career for herself, and her life kept getting better. Later, she saw Bai Chenjin run into the original heroine at a street corner. That day, he told her he wouldn't be home that night, and might not return for several days. After he left, she stood before the merciful Buddha and thought for a long time. A cup of tea sat before the Buddha. If she drank it, she could forcibly separate her soul and leave this place. After drinking the tea, she hurried home, picked up her brush, and wrote a long letter to her husband. Blood spilled from the corner of her mouth and dripped onto the paper as she wrote and wrote, until darkness overtook her. She thought that, after all, they had been husband and wife for a brief time. She wondered what Bai Chenjin would think of her leaving. Then she thought it didn't matter how he felt, as long as he didn't touch her money! When she transmigrated back, she didn't wake in the sickbed as expected. Instead, everything was pitch-black. She pushed open the heavy coffin lid and poked her head out. The moment she saw Bai Chenjin, her heart nearly stopped. Dressed in black, with plain white silk wrapped around his face and hands, he was carving a Buddha statue. One stroke cut off its head, and the statue fell into the coffin. Bai Chenjin's fingers were icy as they brushed her neck and pressed against her pulse. He leaned close and whispered, "Tired? Want to rest?" Shen Ranxing looked at the eerie room, decorated in funeral style and filled with countless Buddha statues. "She fainted, she didn't die! Why did you put her in a coffin already?!" [Reading Guide] 1.

Mortal Woman x World-Weary Demon Lord Cui Baisui transmigrated into a chaotic world of cultivation as a tomb keeper. She heard that the tomb held a seal containing a demon lord who was bloodthirsty and wicked beyond redemption. It was an extremely dangerous place, overrun with evil spirits. As it turned out, she really did encounter a terrifying, vicious evil spirit. Just as she thought she was done for, a kind man appeared and saved her. His name was Su Wu. Su Wu had a remarkably handsome face. Though frail and often ill, he kept her safe. Though they didn't have much money, he bought her fashionable dresses and the pastries she liked... Just because she said she liked them, he was willing to wash his hands and cook for her every single day. They held a simple wedding ceremony and became husband and wife. She thought they would live out their days in peace and quiet. Until one day, a group of people came down from the mountain and said the demon had emerged. Cui Baisui wanted to run, but she couldn't find Su Wu. Standing among the crowd, she looked up and saw the demon. The demon hovered in the air, demonic energy surging around him, his expression arrogant. He held someone in his arms, but that face was unmistakably the one she saw first every morning when she woke up. Cui Baisui's legs gave way. The demon must have possessed Su Wu's body. She thought, I have to save him. Cui Baisui went alone to the Ninefold Underworld, entered the Hall of the Underworld, and saw him again with an injured leg. He glanced at her, then simply walked away. It was still the same face and the same person, but his old warmth and care were gone. He had become indifferent, unfamiliar, violent, and unrestrained. Cui Baisui willingly became a pawn, let herself be used, and risked her life, all to drive the demon out of Su Wu's body! She thought her days there would be harsh and dangerous, with little chance of survival. But despite the Hall of the Underworld's terrible reputation, the working conditions inside were excellent. If she got hurt, she got medicine and time off. The food suited her perfectly, and she couldn't even spend all her wages... Still, Cui Baisui often felt gloomy. One day, the demon seemed unable to take it anymore and snapped, "What more do you want?" Cui Baisui asked timidly, "When are you giving my husband back to me?" The next day, Su Wu stood before the stove in a loose, carelessly tied dark robe, his sleeves pushed up and an aura of violence about him, staring at the ingredients spread across the table. 1.
