Everyone but Me Gets the Crematorium Treatment

[A vindictive black-hearted lotus x A born-bad, unhinged villain]

In her previous life, Xue Wan accidentally transmigrated into a book as its heroine.

But she didn't like the original male lead.

She liked the tragic, powerful villain.

Using her golden finger, which let her know the entire plot, Xue Wan successfully saved the young villain and raised him herself.

In the book, he was supposed to grow up into a sinister, obsessive madman. Instead, she taught him to be cultured and courteous, turning him into a gentle, refined young scholar.

He treated her with boundless tenderness and cherished her above all else.

The scholar passed the imperial exams.

Then he drove a sharp blade through Xue Wan's chest.

Xie Lin had an innocent, harmless face. He was good at keeping up appearances and biding his time, all so he could rise up one day and never be controlled by anyone again.

That was when he revealed his true nature.

Outside the door stood the parents Xue Wan had respected for years. They said coldly, "Kill her, and my daughter can come back."

The younger brother she'd struggled to save said, "Hurry up and die. I want my sister."

The friend she'd devoted herself to helping said, "She deserves to die for taking someone else's body."

Xie Lin's eyes reddened. He shouted in furious desperation, "Where did the real her go? I don't want you! Give her back to me!"

Xue Wan spat out a mouthful of blood. Looking at the man she'd loved for years, she felt her eyes redden.

She scoffed at herself. "A villain really is a villain."

The plot could change, but that was his nature.

Just like the unchanging rule of the book:

The villain only loves the original heroine.

Everyone only loves the original heroine.

And she was just an outsider who'd transmigrated by accident.

-

When she opened her eyes again, Xue Wan had returned to several years earlier.

She sat quietly for two seconds, then smiled.

Saving the villain? Devotion to the death? What a load of crap.

This time, she would keep her distance and watch every one of them go to hell.

Because...

The villain deserves to be burned at the stake.

And every last one of them deserves the same.

-

Xie Lin's heart died the day his country fell and he became a drug slave.

From then on, he was little more than a walking corpse.

Until Xue Wan died by his sword.

It was as if his heart had been split in two. Day and night, he was trapped in hell, boiled over fire and pierced by ice, forced to relive again and again how Xue Wan's blood splattered across the corners of his eyes.

Every time, the pain was unbearable.

Reading Guide:

1. One-on-one romance, both leads have only ever been with each other, happy ending.

2. Everyone, including the male lead, gets a spectacular groveling redemption arc. Old-school, melodramatic, ashes-scattered-to-the-wind level.

Theme: Love yourself before loving others.
