Reborn as a Witch, I Catch the Saint's Eye

Lin Yu, a 25-year-old male programmer, died suddenly.

When he opened his eyes again, he had become Iris, a silver-haired, violet-eyed witch in another world. Her chest was soft, her waist slender, and skirts actually looked pretty good on her. The only problem was that he was going to be sacrificed in three days. Even more absurdly, Seraphina, the saintess assigned to kill him, opened with: "Come with me. I'll take care of you."

Lin Yu: Are saintesses' job descriptions really that broad?

From then on, the saintess fed him, tucked him in, made ginger soup (salty), and gave him a whole wardrobe of white dresses. He was always on guard, thinking the obsessive saintess was up to no good, but it turned out she really just wanted to cuddle.

"Iris, what do you want to eat today?"

"Don't get so close..."

"Your face is turning red."

"That's because I'm angry!"

The church was enraged, the sacrificial ceremony resumed, and the archbishop personally stepped in. Seraphina stood in front of him before tens of thousands of worshippers, her expression calm as she declared, "I will not sacrifice this witch."

Lin Yu: This is bad. She gave up being a saintess for me?

Seraphina turned back with a smile. "Don't worry. I've got something big planned."

He thought he had the worst possible start, but later learned that Seraphina had restarted this same scenario countless times to save him. In every loop, she watched him die and bore the burden alone for thousands of years.

"You knew me before, didn't you?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I was afraid you'd be scared of me."

"...You idiot saintess."

"That's a good one. Say it again?"

Witch x saintess, one-on-one pure romance, slow-burn sweetness, restrained yandere. The male lead keeps his soul, with everyday jokes about his girl's body. Come on in, no tragic suffering for the protagonist, and plenty of sweetness.
