After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 3

“How on earth did I end up in this place? It can’t be because of playing a game, right?”

She couldn’t help but hold her head and wail.

“I still don’t have a boyfriend, I’ve never been in love, I have no money—I don’t want to die!”

However, at this moment, a mechanical voice came through.

[Congratulations, player has obtained one Otome Game Experience Card. I am this session’s voice prompt——the “If You Don’t Court Death, You Won’t Die” System]

“What the hell? Otome Game Experience Card? If you don’t court death, you won’t die… are you kidding me?!”

Yun Dan felt like she had fallen into a huge pit.

This wasn’t what they promised for the beta test.

No one said the beta test would involve transmigration!

“So will you help me? If you don’t give me story hints, how am I supposed to play this real-life game?”

[Game storyline development incomplete. Please experience it yourself. Wish you a pleasant life. If there’s anything unsatisfactory, come and fight me if you can]

Great. After bringing her here, the system completely abandoned her without providing even the slightest help. Moreover, this system was clearly not a proper system—no wonder it just dumped her here.

Belatedly, Yun Dan suddenly remembered that the name Xiao Yueqing was the only villain male lead in that otome game, wasn’t it?

He was said to be an absolute lunatic, but because his original artwork wearing a mask was so good-looking, his popularity was much higher than the other four male leads.

At first, Yun Dan hadn’t noticed this detail.

Now thinking about it, she should have realized when she encountered Xiao Yueqing.

She had truly transmigrated into the game and encountered the ultimate villain.

Damn, what terrible luck.

“What a crappy game. No wonder they needed people for beta testing. So many damn bugs—no wonder I even transmigrated here. Turns out it’s a garbage game. Refund!”

However, the system gave no response whatsoever.

This confirmed her earlier suspicion—the system had only brought her to this game world and then abandoned her.

A splitting headache struck, making Yun Dan involuntarily clutch her head.

Some memories also surged up like a tide.

Xiao Yueqing was the master of Tianqing Manor and also the number one demon lord of the martial arts world.

Rumors said that Xiao Meiren was cruel and ruthless, devoid of human feelings, bloodthirsty by nature, and countless people had died by his hands. There were many in the martial arts world who wanted to kill him, but Xiao Meiren’s martial arts were so powerful that all their assassination attempts failed.

Seeing that direct assassination wouldn’t work, those righteous sect people actually came up with the idea of using honey traps, sending countless women to infiltrate the manor attempting to assassinate Xiao Yueqing.

But without exception, they all failed.

Simply because this villain was impervious to temptation!

Since this game was still in development and testing phase, and Yun Dan was the first player to participate in testing, she didn’t know what the storyline was—she only knew the character background introductions.

If she remembered correctly, there should also be a righteous male lead.

What was his name again?

It would have been nice if she had encountered the righteous side.

Others who transmigrated at least landed in front of princes or nobles.

She, on the other hand, landed right in front of a great demon lord.

Good heavens, what a waste not to buy lottery tickets.

“Forget it. Since I’m here, I might as well make the best of it. First, I need to find a way to save my life and make sure I don’t accidentally get killed by this great demon lord.”

…..

The next morning, just as dawn broke, there was a knock at the door.

Suddenly awakened, Yun Dan thought she was still in her university dormitory and wondered who could be coming so early when she didn’t even have classes today.

Without opening her eyes, she just replied, “Who is it? So early in the morning, can’t you let people sleep? I don’t have classes today.”

However, the knocking outside the door continued.

Yun Dan’s eyes snapped open, and seeing the antique surroundings before her, last night’s memories instantly flooded back.

It seemed she really couldn’t go back.

Opening the door, she found Yue Po standing outside.

Behind Yuepuo stood two young men with delicate features.

They looked about the same age as herself.

“Why are you here so early in the morning? What do you need?”

Yun Dan was still resentful about having her sweet dreams interrupted so early—after all, those who understand morning grumpiness, understand.

“Miss, yesterday the master ordered me to assign two people to serve you. Come, this is your future mistress, Miss Yun.”

“Greetings, Miss.” The two men bowed to Yun Dan in unison, startling her so much that she choked on her own saliva.

“Yue Po, doesn’t your manor have any women?”

“Yes, you.”

“I mean besides me. I’m a young lady—having two men serve me isn’t convenient.”

Yun Dan still had some sense about proper relations between men and women.

More importantly, she felt that having two men watching her would make it even harder to escape, wouldn’t it?

“Tianqing Manor has no maidservants, only male servants.”

Yun Dan was somewhat shocked. Yue Po must be lying, right?

“Such a large manor doesn’t recruit any women? This yang excess and yin deficiency—could it be that your master is bent?”

Otherwise, how could the entire manor not have a single woman?

Yue Po was stunned for two seconds and asked with some confusion, “What does ‘bent’ mean?”

Yue Po didn’t quite understand Yun Dan’s meaning. He understood the “yang excess and yin deficiency” part, but what was this “bent” thing?

“Cough cough, ‘bent’ means….the cut-sleeve preference, the Longyang passion—yes, yes, that’s it.”

Yun Dan nearly choked on her saliva. Having her explain this to a straight man was really too difficult for her.

However, she was thinking that yesterday’s demon lord might indeed be bent, with such a foul temper and such odd behavior—there must be something suspicious!

Plus, since this game wasn’t even finished, who knew if there might be hidden male characters for players to choose from, following alternative storylines to romance these male leads.

After all, she had seen plenty of these types of games on the market that made money from both sides.

With Yun Dan’s explanation, Yue Po finally understood.

He explained somewhat awkwardly, “The master is not cut-sleeve. Previously, the manor did have maidservants, but there were too many people wanting to climb into the master’s bed. In his anger, the master dealt with those people, and from then on, the manor no longer employs women.”

“So he’s not cut-sleeve after all…”

Yue Po felt somewhat dizzy—this tone sounded like she was disappointed about it.

Was she saying it was too bad that the master wasn’t cut-sleeve?

“So from now on, they will take care of you. I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first.”

The two delicate young men stepped forward and bowed slightly to Yun Dan.

“Ah Wu and Ah Wen greet Miss.”

Who on earth came up with these names? They’re quite good-looking, but these two names are really too degrading.

“Who gave you these names?”

“Replying to Miss, Ah Wen and I are blood brothers. These are the names our father gave us.”

“Hoho… your father was rather careless when naming you both.”

Yun Dan seriously examined the two young men before her. They looked about eighty percent similar, but looking carefully, one could still see some differences.
