The More the Villain Is Tormented, the More He Falls in Love

The next novel I'll write is "After Dumping My Ex-Husband, He Became My Boss". If you're interested, feel free to check it out.

[Blurb]

Wen Su felt that in his whole life, he had only ever done one truly rotten thing:

Dumping Gu Cheng.

He thought Gu Cheng was poor, so he ended things cleanly and unapologetically.

Then his family business went bankrupt, and he became a hard-working corporate drone.

Meanwhile, Gu Cheng took the top office in his company.

On the first day Gu Cheng officially started work, Wen Su stared silently for three seconds at the director's office, just a stone's throw away, which seemed to have been set up to keep an eye on him.

Then he took a deep breath.

Make his life difficult, dock his performance bonus, publicly humiliate him.

Bring it on. He deserved it.

But after waiting a week...

All he got was a carton of warm milk, appearing without fail in the corner of his desk, right on time.

All he got was a mysteriously idle workplace, where every task was snatched away as soon as it was assigned. His desk was so quiet it felt like a retirement home.

Wen Su stared at the carton of milk and finally couldn't help asking:

Was this workplace bullying or workplace flirting?

He was starting to think he wanted to get back together.

But just as he was turning the idea over in his mind, his father sent him an emergency rescue gift: a fiance he'd never met.

His father said earnestly, "Son, for the sake of this family, just marry him."

Wen Su: "..."

*

On the day of the engagement banquet, Wen Su took the day off specially to avoid Gu Cheng.

He had his lines ready and his attitude prepared. He was going to turn down this fiance who had come out of nowhere, firmly but gracefully.

Then he looked up.

He knew the man sitting at the seat of honor far too well.

His father enthusiastically ushered him over. "Susu, come meet your fiance, Mr. Gu."

Wen Su: "...?"

After going around in circles, he'd somehow managed to marry himself back to his ex-husband.

[Novel Blurb]

What do you do when you wake up to find that the person beside you has killed you and betrayed you?

Break up?

No. This time, I'll make him wish he were dead!

But...

Why does it feel like some people only fall more in love the more they're tormented?

1. A pampered, stubborn male insect gong x a scheming, devoted, dark female insect shou

Carlos is reborn three months before his female lord betrays him.

This time, he's going to make that faithless female insect wish he were dead.

System: "Choose your method of revenge:

A. Humiliate him in public B. Put him under house arrest as punishment C. Run away with the baby"

Carlos: "I'll pick D: let's go through A, B, and C first, then see."

Later...

When he publicly demanded that his female lord have another baby as soon as she'd given birth to their first insect child, she said with red-rimmed eyes, "I'll do my best."

When he made his female lord kneel, he found that she was only pretending to kneel with her back to him. The moment she stood up, she knocked him down instead.

When he ran away with their insect child, his female lord brought a warship and carried the two fugitives, one big and one small, back home.

Carlos: "This revenge plot isn't going right, is it?!"

Female lord: "My lord can play however he likes, just... don't leave me." (She reveals the back of her neck, covered in bite marks.)

2. A pure-hearted saint gong from the Snow Capital x a mad, obsessive succubus shou

The first thing the saint did after being reborn: chain the succubus who had murdered his master to his side.

To torment the succubus, the saint followed the System's suggestion and chose the most humiliating method.

Lan Ze: "How does the saint want to torment me? Skinning me or pulling out my bones?"

Saint (seriously): "You... be my beloved attendant."

Lan Ze: "???"

System: "???"
