After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 1

“Time will fade everything eventually. One day, she will grow old in my heart.”

“If I was born stained with sin, then I shall kill my way to a pure land.”

“You’re short and stupid and always make me angry, and you even burned my passion flower. Anyone who likes you must be crazy, but I really am crazy…”

——Xiao Yueqing

If Yun Dan had known she would experience such a melodramatic story, she definitely would have stayed far away from that great demon lord!

Yun Dan jolted awake, only to discover she was falling continuously. The intense feeling of weightlessness made her cry out involuntarily, “Help!”

Just as she thought she was about to drown, a pair of slightly cold hands pulled her up from the water.

Yun Dan rubbed her eyes and finally noticed she was standing in a very large bath pool.

How strange, what was this place? Wasn’t she at home preparing to test the newly released otome game “Conquering That Beautiful Man”?

Was she dreaming?

“Conquering That Beautiful Man” was supposedly an otome game that had been in development for a long time, featuring five conquerable male leads.

Just the illustrations of those male leads made Yun Dan fall in love at first sight, and she signed up for the beta test without hesitation.

Yun Dan, who never won anything, had pretty good luck this time, standing out among a hundred thousand people to become the sole tester.

However, as soon as she opened the game, a prompt popped up asking “Enter core gameplay?”

Curious to see if there were any hidden features, Yun Dan clicked confirm without hesitation.

Then everything went black, as if her entire being was sucked into the computer.

When she opened her eyes again, she was here.

The water in the bath seemed to ripple slightly, and only then did Yun Dan notice something was off.

She spun around abruptly and saw that there was another person in this enormous bath.

It was a long-haired beauty wearing a half-mask, who seemed to be resting against the edge of the pool, undisturbed by Yun Dan’s commotion.

She tentatively asked in a small voice, “Immortal sister, may I ask where this is…”

The person in the pool, even with half their face covered by a mask, had such an aura and figure that they were clearly a standard beauty, so Yun Dan naturally assumed it was a woman.

Though she could only envy such an aura.

Unlike herself, who was like a withered bean sprout.

“Hmm? Immortal sister?”

The person finally seemed to notice Yun Dan’s presence, lazily opening their eyes and smiling slightly at her, like a warm spring breeze flowing through the body, bringing a different kind of feeling.

Their black hair was unbound, simply tied with a hair ribbon draped over their right shoulder, just leaning against the pool’s edge and glancing at Yun Dan.

The person slightly rose, as if wanting Yun Dan to confirm something.

Water droplets flowed down their shoulders and fell into the water, disappearing.

Yun Dan was a bit slow, watching for a full minute before suddenly realizing that the person across from her seemed to be a man!

“Ah, you, you, you—how are you a man!”

Yun Dan was now completely incoherent, panicking and trying to escape from the pool, but her hands and feet were weak, and she couldn’t struggle out of the water for quite some time.

“My name is Xiao Yueqing. Immortal sister? Ha, little girl, do I really look that much like a woman?”

Xiao Yueqing approached Yun Dan with a teasing attitude, carefully examining this startled little girl.

Usually, he hated it most when others mistook him for a woman, which was why he always wore a mask.

Only a few people had ever seen his true face.

But even with the mask, there were still some fearless people who would try to court him.

Yun Dan suddenly became so nervous she didn’t know what to do, staring straight at the person in front of her, not daring to move for a long time.

She had no idea who this person was, or even where she was right now.

“I… I’m called Yun Dan. Sorry, I might have sleepwalked to the wrong place and wrecked your home. I’ll leave right now…”

After speaking, Yun Dan tried to slip away, but Xiao Yueqing wouldn’t give her the chance, pulling her back with a slight effort.

“Little girl, my territory isn’t somewhere you can come and go as you please.”

Xiao Yueqing was not interested in women. Usually, countless women wanted to throw themselves at him, but none could get close to him.

Because before they could approach, they would be dealt with by Xiao Yueqing’s subordinates.

The manor wasn’t without people who had tried to climb into his bed.

Whether in his study or where he practiced martial arts, there would always be a bunch of “chance encounters.”

Some had even hidden in his room to ambush him. Xiao Yueqing was extremely disgusted by this and had the woman thrown out.

After that, Tianqing Manor had no women servants—from cooks to shadow guards, not a single woman.

Xiao Yueqing just quietly looked at this little girl, dressed so strangely and scantily.

Her nervous expression was like that of a startled little rabbit. Looking at her features, she hadn’t fully matured yet and could at most be considered plain.

He had seen countless beauties, and if he didn’t even fancy beauties, let alone someone like this.

Seeing her like this, he suddenly felt mischievous. “You came running here in the middle of the night—could it be to throw yourself at me?”

Only then did Yun Dan notice she was still wearing that camisole dress, no wonder Xiao Yueqing said she came to throw herself at him.

Bullshit! She never did such things, okay!

But she always felt something was strange.

A terrible thought suddenly surfaced—could it be that she had transmigrated?

And it seemed to be soul transmigration!

Sensing the atmosphere was wrong, Yun Dan urgently wanted to leave this place.

But Xiao Yueqing seemed to sense something and immediately trapped her against the pool’s edge, making her unable to move.

“Mmm… do you think I’m too ugly to catch your eye, so you’re in such a hurry to run?”

Xiao Yueqing’s tone carried some teasing.

Although he disliked women, this startled little rabbit was indeed quite interesting, making him want to tease her.

Especially when she showed that terrified and frightened expression.

Yun Dan took a deep breath and put some distance between herself and Xiao Yueqing, “Immortal brother, your willpower is good but mine isn’t, so for the sake of your reputation, I think we should keep our distance.”

Xiao Yueqing suddenly laughed. This little rabbit was indeed very interesting—she was truly the only one who could speak to him like this.

Used to seeing those martial arts women throwing themselves at him, this girl was really different from those people.

Xiao Yueqing looked up at the big hole in the roof, the corner of his mouth curving up. It seemed someone had sent him quite a nice gift.

“What are you thinking about?” Xiao Yueqing looked at Yun Dan’s absent-minded appearance. This girl could actually daydream?

“Thinking about sleeping.”

“Thinking about sleeping… with me?”

Xiao Yueqing looked at the person whose head was almost lowered into the water, finding it increasingly fun to tease her.

“No! I just simply feel tired, I don’t mean anything by wanting to be with you, don’t overthink it!”

Xiao Yueqing suddenly lowered his head and moved close to her ear, teasing, “Oh, so your little head is full of such things, little girl?”

Yun Dan was extremely ashamed, pointing at him angrily. “You’re shameless!”

The next second, her neck was grabbed by Xiao Yueqing.

His previous gentleness was completely gone, replaced by a fierce coldness, “Speak, who sent you to kill me? Little girl, I’m no saint. If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll snap your neck!”
