Chapter 1: Hiding and peeping will incur divine punishment!

The third day of the third lunar month is the Shangsi Festival.

A gentle spring breeze stirred the red curtains hanging in the room through the half-open window.

The shadows of people overlapped within the curtains, and the outlines of a young man and woman could be vaguely seen.

"My darling, do you know how much I miss you?"

"Scream! Scream louder..."

A suggestive, ambiguous tone occasionally drifted from the room. Yu Wenxue huddled in the closet, covering her ears with her hands, but secretly leaving a small gap, closed her eyes, and silently recited the Three Character Classic in her mind.

The ears were pressed red by the palms, but the noise did not subside at all; on the contrary, it seemed to be getting more and more intense.

The wardrobe was damp and dimly lit, with a faint musty smell. Yu Wenxue was breathing heavily, her chest heaving. She was worried that the person inside would find out, so she slowed down her breathing.

By a twist of fate, she transmigrated into an old-fashioned, melodramatic novel about a man pursuing his wife, titled "The Marquis Chases His Wife: The Lady Refuses!"

In the original book, the male and female protagonists were described as one being shy and the other being dense and clueless. Their relationship dragged on for nearly a hundred chapters, filled with numerous misunderstandings. These included, but were not limited to, melodramatic plot points such as falling off a horse, drowning, amnesia, and running away while pregnant.

In the end, the female lead fakes her death, and the male lead tries various methods to win her back, but he can't figure it out. In short, the journey is extremely bumpy, making the reader's heart pound.

Her goal is to speed up the process of the male and female protagonists getting together, to be a competent matchmaker, and to achieve a happy ending.

Upon learning her objective, Yu Wenxue immediately fainted, wishing it were all a dream. But to survive, she had no choice but to follow the system's instructions and eavesdrop.

The sounds of flirting filled the air. Yu Wenxue's face was flushed red, almost as if she had worn a hole through her embroidered shoes. The two in the room hadn't finished yet.

She suppressed the pain in her chest and couldn't help but feel confused.

They've already progressed this far, why would they need her to play matchmaker?

Wasn't this task completed with ease?

"Sister-in-law, has my brother... been here?"

Yu Wenxue's eyes widened, and she held her breath.

What did she hear?!

The man then asked, "Is your wife satisfied?"

The woman's voice was soft and melodious, like a beautiful lark, as she said, "Gu Lang is strong and powerful, naturally much better than your useless brother."

Gu Lang? Sister-in-law?

Yu Wenxue couldn't help but cover her mouth tightly, afraid that she would cry out, and kept searching her mind for the relationships between the characters.

I remember that the biggest villain in the original book also had the surname Gu. As the male protagonist's younger brother, he naturally became a clear contrasting group.

The thought of Gu Yunshen's name sent a chill down Yu Wenxue's spine.

The book describes him as cruel and ruthless, committing all sorts of evil deeds, which is chilling to read.

The story begins with the villain having an affair with the female lead from the original novel?

It was March, and the weather wasn't hot, but she was so nervous that she broke out in a light sweat.

A burst of laughter erupted from inside the room. The man cleared his throat: "With the succession plan going smoothly, sister-in-law will rightfully become the Marquis's wife. And when she conceives a child, he will be the eldest grandson of the Marquis's family..."

"It's not even close to happening yet, why are you calling me sister-in-law?"

"Good, good, Grandmother said a new piece of jewelry arrived yesterday. It's exquisite and beautiful, even more so than the previous one. It's just a pity it's fragile and easily broken, I'm afraid..."

The woman scoffed, "How beautiful?"

"My darling, you are the most beautiful..."

Yu Wenxue picked at her ears, unable to listen any longer.

She waited anxiously for a while longer, until the room gradually quieted down. She pushed open the cabinet door to observe the situation outside.

She had barely taken two steps when her old ailment flared up again.

This is the first time I've seen a time traveler who brought their lifelong heart condition with them...

"I've already transmigrated, can't I at least have an indestructible body?!" Yu Wenxue muttered under her breath.

[System: Host's intention has been detected. You have been granted a cheat code—a healthy body.]

Yu Wenxue: "..."

Why didn't you tell me sooner that you had this good stuff!

My back doesn't hurt anymore, my chest doesn't feel tight, and even my breathing is smooth.

Yay!

If the system is this effective...

Yu Wenxue tried to summon it again: "System, system, I want to destroy that villain who did bad things."

Having an affair with your own sister-in-law is so immoral!

He must have seduced her!

[Hidden Mission 1: Spy on the male and female protagonists kissing in the original book, time limit: seven days]

ah?

Not content with being a matchmaker, she also has to be a voyeur?

Peeping at someone's private parts will bring divine retribution!

Seven days? Isn't that making things difficult for people?

Indeed, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Yu Wenxue made a pinching motion at the philtrum: "Then you should take care of the villain first."

However, no one answered.

According to the original plot, the female lead accidentally wandered into the woods and encountered a poisonous snake. She was so frightened that she twisted her ankle and happened to meet the male lead who came to her rescue. They accidentally kissed each other, while the clueless male lead thought he had encountered a slippery poisonous snake and hurriedly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

The female lead, her face flushed with anger, stomped her foot and left, and the male lead chased after her...

But the book doesn't say that the female lead has an affair with the male lead's brother!

Yu Wenxue was sweating bullets.

Now that things have come to this, escaping is the most important thing.

Today she wore a light pink gauze dress, exquisitely designed, with two silk ribbons hanging naturally down her chest, and white jade pearls by her ears swaying gently with her movements.

It looked good, but it wasn't very convenient to escape. Yu Wenxue deftly tied her messy hair into a neat bun and tied her skirt with a ribbon, calculating whether she would fall to her death if she jumped out of the window from this height.

Before he could even step on with his other foot, he heard someone shout from behind, "Guards, grab this little slut who seduces men!"

Where did this giant Buddha statue come from?

She ignored it, closed her eyes, steeled her heart, and jumped.

Only after she landed steadily did she feel the reality of being healthy again.

"Chase after them for me!"

With a command given, a large contingent of men suddenly surged forward from behind.

She took off the hairpin from her head and threw it on the ground, then ran in the opposite direction.

She kept replaying the plot in her mind, but her thoughts were jumbled and she couldn't remember it.

As the sun gradually set, the footsteps around me grew fainter and fainter, and before I knew it, I had run into an unfamiliar forest.

There were many figures ahead, probably all guests who had come to the banquet today.

Yu Wenxue leaned against the tree and wiped her sweat with her sleeve. She had moved quickly enough, and since she had her back to the person, he probably hadn't seen her face clearly.

Moreover, she just arrived yesterday, and apart from some servants in the Marquis's mansion, no one should have seen her before.

"Miss Cousin."

Several servants passed by and greeted her.

Yu Wenxue: "..." Is this Murphy's Law?

The current head of the Marquis's mansion is none other than Gu Rongting, the male protagonist of the original novel.

As for the Gu family...

"The Gu Family Villa has been haunted again lately!"

The servants were talking in hushed tones.

"It's been peaceful for so many years, why is it haunted again?"

"It must be because the Second Young Master is considered unlucky. He has only been back in the capital for two days, and the villa is already haunted."

"Stop talking, stop talking! The Marquis ordered that no one in the manor is allowed to mention this matter... Look, the person is right there!"

Yu Wenxue keenly noticed the title "Lord Marquis".

Following the gaze, the young man was dressed in scarlet robes, with a long sword hanging at his waist and a jade pendant bearing the character "Gu" (顾). The cuffs were intricately patterned, clearly not belonging to an ordinary family.

Looking at his face again, his eyebrows and features were exquisite, his nose was straight and handsome, and his slightly pursed thin lips glanced in this direction as if by magic, revealing a hint of indifference.

Yu Wenxue's heart skipped a beat, and she hid behind the tree even further.

To be fair, she had lived in modern times for nineteen years and had met a fair number of people, but she had rarely seen such an astonishingly beautiful appearance.

Such composure is befitting of the male lead.

What kind of taste does the female lead have? The male lead looks like this.

The villain must have been incredibly skilled at seduction!

The man walked at a leisurely pace, exuding the air of a noble family.

Lost in thought, she followed along as if possessed, gradually walking into the deepest part of the jungle, beyond which lay a boundless lake.

Yu Wenxue paused in her steps.

Looking back, a young man who appeared to be Gu Rongting stood not far away, gazing at the lake in deep thought. Behind him was a petite woman with her back to him, her face obscured. From a distance, it looked as if she were reaching out to touch his face.

The wind rustled the leaves around her, and she couldn't hear what the two were saying.

No way, the male lead is having an affair with another woman too?

Yu Wenxue: "System, I request a different task."

The system is in a state of continuous freeze.

Perhaps it was a guilty conscience, but that feeling of tension returned. Yu Wenxue clutched the amulet hanging around her neck, caught in a state of endless turmoil.

Her left and right hemispheres were constantly battling each other, but her intelligence made it difficult for her to come up with any good ideas. The woman looked around, constantly glancing around, as if searching for something.

The next moment, the person did something unexpected.

With a "plop," the boy fell into the water and quickly became still. Huge splashes of water lapped against the lake's surface, rising and falling before settling down.

What's going on?

Yu Wenxue rolled up her sleeves, ready to save him. This was the male lead, he couldn't die!

She picked up a branch from the ground and tentatively dipped it into the water.

Suddenly, the boy swam out of the water. His skin, which had been soaked in water, was even whiter. A few strands of wet hair fell down and clung to his cheeks, making him look more like a captivating and beautiful water ghost.

When the assassin saw that he was not dead, he climbed out of the water and pulled out a dagger to stab him in the heart.

Yu Wenxue exclaimed in alarm, "Watch out!"

The boy didn't hear at first, but quickly reacted, snatched the dagger, restrained the assassin, and plunged it into her heart.

Impartial and deadly, a single, fatal blow.

The assassin's eyes widened as the corpse slowly sank to the bottom of the water, staining the lake surface red.

A few drops of blood splattered onto his face, which he calmly wiped away with his hand. He then looked at Yu Wenxue, his expression still cold and indifferent.

Yu Wenxue hugged her arms tightly, her hair practically standing on end.

"Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best," she thought without a second thought and turned to run. But her uncooperative body wouldn't obey her commands and she tripped and fell.

It was still the left foot that tripped over the right foot.

Heaven is going to destroy me!

Yu Wenxue observed three minutes of silence for herself.

It's unclear who Gu Rongting, this blockhead, offended to the point of being killed.

Falling into the water, assassinating—each move was deadly.

A name suddenly popped into my mind.

In the original book, wasn't the one who hated Gu Rongting the most his younger brother, Gu Yunshen?

If her affair fails, she'll resort to violence. If she ever sees this villain, she'll definitely find a way to beat him to a pulp!

The boy jumped out of the water with swift and decisive movements, seemingly unaffected, and slowly walked towards her.

The originally crimson dress was stained with blood, but after being soaked in water, it was no longer noticeable.

She hurried back.

Too much happened today; I need some time to process it all.

Suddenly, a gust of wind brushed past her ear.

The dagger she had just used to kill the assassin was now stuck in the tree, blocking her way.

The blade was sharpened to a very fine point, clearly reflecting his flustered expression.

Her gaze shifted upwards, and there was a twisted venomous snake writhing, its forked tongue barely an inch from her eyes.

It was all in her head; Yu Wenxue touched her neck and it hurt a little.

Such skill and quick reflexes were clearly not something a weak civil official could achieve.

A thought flashed through her mind, but she couldn't grasp it.

The boy took in her expression, concealed his cold gaze, tilted his head to look at her, and then gave her an awkward smile.

His voice was clear and melodious, like a spring, as he asked, "Why are you following me?"

"cousin."

A note from the author:

This is a story of mutual redemption between a young boy and girl. Hope you enjoy reading! [Hugs][Hugs]

The female protagonist's name comes from Fang Yue's "Hearing Snow" from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Yuan Ciyue transmigrated into a book, her goal being to win over the world-destroying demon within.

She could only survive if he fell in love with her and replaced her as the "white moonlight" (her first love).

Legend has it that the world-destroying demon was born with a jade-like appearance and golden features, and was incomparably handsome, but he was cruel and ruthless, a madman who killed without hesitation.

Sure enough, the first thing they saw was the ninety-eighth conqueror being carried out covered in blood.

As the ninety-ninth conqueror, she trembled with fear and disobeyed the system's instructions, running away.

On their escape, they encountered a handsome, wounded young man covered in blood, who looked like he was about to die.

Yuan Ciyue was not used to interacting with strangers, but she was still soft-hearted and took the initiative to extend her hand to him.

The two ventured into the martial world together, slaying demons and monsters along the way.

The boy was extremely skilled and gentle. He not only protected her safety but also took good care of her daily needs.

In the cold winter, he would warm the bed before letting her in;

On hot summer days, he would carefully fan her to lull her to sleep.

As time went on, Yuan Ciyue felt that living with him wasn't so bad.

On the day of the wedding, I heard the system notification that had been offline for a long time: "[Congratulations, host, the conquest mission is successful!]"

Yuan Ciyue looked at Chi Yanzhou, who was drawing her eyebrows, with a puzzled expression.

How could such a gentle and considerate husband be that tyrannical and ruthless world-destroying demon?

She didn't believe it.

-

Besieged on all sides and betrayed by his family, Chi Yanzhou lay bleeding and covered in wounds.

When he was at his most miserable, Yuan Ciyue appeared and rescued him from the quagmire where he could not see the light of day.

No matter how fierce he was and how many times he forced her to leave, she remained devoted to him.

Until one day, she disappeared.

He searched frantically throughout the Three Realms, but could not find her anywhere. He knew she had come to seduce him, so he abandoned all his cultivation and went back to the past, only to find that it was not Yuan Ciyue who had come to seduce him, but a series of strangers.

Wearing masks of hypocrisy, they followed some kind of instruction with the cold indifference of puppets, vying to say that they wanted to save him.

ridiculous.

After killing the so-called conqueror for the ninety-eighth time, Chi Yanzhou casually wiped the blood off his sword.

I looked up and met those familiar eyes.

He knew she was the most soft-hearted, so he deliberately appeared before her covered in wounds.

As expected, she saved him.

He succeeded.

On their wedding night, Chi Yanzhou was breathtakingly beautiful, his black hair cascading down, his gaze as if he were gazing up at the moon with infatuation.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

-

Having successfully completed the mission, Yuan Ciyue was forced to leave this world.

On the day I was taken away by the system, the only way back was shut down.

The surrounding area was filled with cries of despair and bloodshed.

Chi Yanzhou stepped over the crimson stain, extinguished the system that was still issuing commands, and leaned down to kiss Yuan Ciyue between the eyebrows.

"Now, no one can stop us from being together."

The inner demon is formed from desire and lives by drinking blood and essence. He wants to use the essence of these dead souls to resurrect his lover.
