*A perceptive but "fake good girl" heroine x a seemingly gentle but sinister, ghostlike young master

*An indulgence-driven story / sinister yandere fiction / campus / flirtatious push and pull

Born with heterochromia and raised in a shop that makes paper offerings, Jiang Baoxi endured contempt from childhood. Gloomy and ill-tempered, she cherished one deep longing above all else: the radiant, untouchable Wan Yue.

Gentle, kind, handsome, with no bad habits.

Those were all insignificant virtues of his. It seemed as if he had no flaws whatsoever.

"How could someone without flaws exist in this world? Perfect in every way? That just means he's a pervert."

Jiang Baoxi brushed off those doubts with a smile. They simply didn't know Wan Yue well enough.

Until one day, she found the notebook Wan Yue had dropped. Its pages were crammed with observations about everyone and their preferences, with one particular subject marked out for special attention.

Jiang Baoxi

[Quiet, few friends, simple-minded, easy to manipulate. Follows me, takes pictures of me without permission, afraid of water, deep psychological trauma, doesn't eat spicy food, allergic to peanuts, obvious weaknesses. Always gives in and compromises, slow to react, cares about what I say, incredibly easy to fool...]

Before she could turn the page, the flickering light behind her went completely dark.

"Baby, finished reading?"

Wan Yue leaned against the wall and couldn't help laughing.

The spark in his hand sent smoke curling through the air. His careless tone pierced Jiang Baoxi's heart.

*

Later, Wan Yue's madness grew worse and worse.

Who could have imagined that the seemingly flawless, gentle and considerate man the world saw would be someone else entirely in front of Jiang Baoxi?

He held Jiang Baoxi tightly, trembling all over with excitement. The more she struggled, the tighter he hugged her. He lowered his head, breathing in sync with her.

His voice was bewitching as a ghost's, trembling with delight.

"Kiss me."

Jiang Baoxi couldn't take it and burst into tears. He carefully kissed away each tear, one by one, and laced his fingers through hers.

"If you're going to run, run farther away."

"Don't leave me again."

Note:

1. Both are each other's first and only, 1v1, happy ending.

2. A genuinely sinister man and a fake good-girl heroine.

3. The male lead is very jealous, but both are unwavering in choosing each other.

4. The heroine has a crush on him early on and isn't portrayed as clever. The male lead becomes more obsessive later, with his sinister, ghostlike aura turned up to the max.

5. Later, the male lead does things that frighten the heroine, but they both enjoy it. This is an indulgence-driven story. The early part takes place on campus, while the later part focuses purely on romance. No romance between minors.

Coming next: "I Faked My Death After Trying to Win Over a Sinister Young Man from Miaojiang"

A cowardly heroine who lies without blinking vs. a twisted, villainous young man from Miaojiang

Chi Yue had no idea she had transmigrated into a book.

During the month she was suffering from amnesia, she spent her days hiding and running. Her unusual constitution meant the Gu Masters wanted to capture her and use her to cultivate Gu. Fortunately, that young man saved her in her hour of danger.

At first, Chi Yue thought he was different from the other Gu Masters.

Until she witnessed with her own eyes how the young man killed someone. The words of her confession stuck in her throat. "Gui Yu, I like, "

Bells rang beneath a bone-white umbrella as blood mist scattered. The young man was breathtakingly beautiful, yet still smiled gently.

He asked her, "What does it mean to like someone?"

Only then did Chi Yue realize she should be afraid, so she ran.

*

After her memories returned, the System told her to win over the book's great villain, the young man from Miaojiang who had saved her countless times: Gui Yu.

But the System had gotten the affection and hostility values mixed up.

That left Chi Yue repeatedly dancing along the edge of danger without even realizing it.

Gui Yu could be moody at times, but he treated her wonderfully. He made her clothes himself, braided her hair, helped her dress up, and kept her safe.

For example, when he held Chi Yue as they rode the same horse, she accidentally pulled out one of his hairs in her haste, and he didn't hold it against her.

Gui Yu smiled with a sarcastic edge. "That's impressive. You've got quite a grip."

Chi Yue smiled foolishly. "You noticed! I've been strong since I was little."

Gui Yu: "..."

After he protected her time and time again, the girl who had never known what it was like to be cared for and cherished promised with complete conviction, "I'll never hurt you." [Affection +50]

The System kindly reminded her: [Even if he keeps saving you, gives you everything you ask for, and his affection is skyrocketing, he's still a bad person!]

Just as the System had predicted, one day Gui Yu lost interest. His fingers clamped tightly around the girl's wrist as red thread wound around it and blood welled up. "In that case, Chi Yue, will you be my Gu vessel?"

So he had come for Gu after all.

*

After faking her death, she changed her appearance. The System made an exception and let her change targets, but before she could even begin, one target after another died under mysterious circumstances.

Chi Yue sensed something was wrong. Then one day, she was poisoned and passed out.

In her daze, she thought she heard the sound of silver bells. When she opened her eyes again, someone had her trapped in his arms and locked inside a room. The silver bells in her hair dazzled her. He leaned close, their breaths mingling.

The young man spoke softly, while Gu worms stirred beneath his skin. "Don't hate me. Don't leave me. No one will ever hurt you again."

Chi Yue looked at the favorability score, now back to normal. "I don't hate you, but I don't like you anymore."

The young man froze. With her backed into a corner, all he dared to do was place a careful kiss on her forehead.

The conquest continued.

Note:

1. A cowardly heroine who lies without blinking vs. a twisted, villainous male lead.

2. Not pure fluff (there are a few angsty moments), but mostly sweet. Happy ending, both leads are each other's first and only, mutual feelings.

3. Plenty of author-invented details, so don't overthink them (bows). Key point: the heroine is a little coward, timid and prone to crying early on. She's not perfect, but her comprehension is always "on point."

Theme: Make peace with yourself.
