I’m a Villainess but So Popular - Chapter 8

A huge guy is bawling his eyes out. In this day and age? Sure, maybe the world changed while I was away in that other place. I’m not some old-fashioned boomer.But what if that guy is clinging to my pant leg, sobbing and sniffling—And we’re not even acquaintances?Even in modern times, that’s just messed up. Ask any passing kid, they’d agree.So yeah, I shook my leg. He was gross and too close.“The hell’s wrong with you? Crying just ’cause you saw a ghost?” “N-no! I swear, it was really there! You didn’t see it!!”I let the disrespect slide. Barely. He was asking for help and still talking down to me just because I look young?Obviously, I’m not the one who lost his balls. He is.And yet… when I looked where he pointed—Something was there.I threw some coarse salt and looked again.He stared at me like I was insane, but I ignored it.…Yeah. Something was definitely there.It made eye contact.

# PRINCE # ESCAPEFAMINE

Lin Suisui, the legendary doctor of Medicine King Valley, saved countless lives during her life, but in the end, she died a tragic death when an arrow pierced her chest.

When she opened her eyes once more, she had become the crown princess who had just married into the East Palace! Standing before her was a lackey eunuch who was going to kick her while she was down, and behind her was a sickly prince who was severely injured and unconscious…

In desperation, Lin Suisui turned and kissed her husband’s thin lips with tears in her eyes…

Lu Ze, the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, was the pride of the heavens.

He was in charge of the frontier warriors, the unbeatable and invincible god of war! When the palace changed hands, he was seriously poisoned and falsely accused of treason.

When he next opened his eyes, he was met with a bed with red decorations and the word “double happiness” everywhere. The crown princess, who called him her husband in tears, was clutching a gold hairpin in hand as she stabbed the evil eunuch in the neck.

The violent and ruthless man didn’t know why he felt a surge of protectiveness towards her, and he never imagined that he would end up wanting to protect her for a lifetime!

Zhou Qi was reborn countless times before the end.

Every time, it doesn’t end well.

Monster invasion, natural disaster baptism, twisted rules, world destruction…

He is familiar with the survival laws of all environments, he is the doomsday walker, the lonely savior.

However, it is also a poor worm trapped in place.

What is the truth of the end? Are human struggles really meaningless? What does his existence mean?

… Zhou Qi thought about these questions and woke up again from his dream.

When the strangeness came, he made all preparations numbly.

but–

The end did not come this time.
