Raising a Villain Went Wrong (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 6
Meanwhile, on Mount Shin, far from Zhejiang Province.
Dan Mok Chang, Dan Mok Bi’s twin elder brother, crawled along the floor, gasping for breath.
‘This is agony.’
A burning thirst spread from deep within his throat throughout his entire body, as if an unquenchable ember were sizzling inside him.
It was the lingering backlash from his repeated failures to seal the divine beast.
Tears streamed from Dan Mok Chang’s eyes, soaking the floor beneath him.
‘Why… why me…?’
He never wanted to become stronger. Nor did he ever wish to endure such pain.
He was simply obeying his parents, doing exactly as he was told.
‘How much longer must I suffer like this?’
Would the divine beast even be summoned at all? And even if it were, could it truly be safely sealed within his body?
‘Will this torment ever end?’
He felt as though he’d been cast into an endless desert.
Overwhelmed by despair, Dan Mok Chang closed his eyes.
Dan Mok Bi’s complexion grew healthier by the day—naturally, since I fed him only the most nourishing foods!
‘Still, pride is pride!’
Not a single part of him, not even the tips of his fingernails, lacked beauty—but above all, those marshmallow-soft cheeks and luminous, sparkling eyes!
How could I not feel proud, watching such beauty blossom right before my eyes!
‘Dan Mok Bi and Dan Mok Chang are twins! Of course they look identical.’
Which meant this breathtaking beauty existed once more somewhere in the world.
‘I really want to see Dan Mok Chang soon. He must be faring much better than Dan Mok Bi, right?’
Unlike the second son—who served as the cursed vessel absorbing the backlash of the divine beast’s failed sealing—Dan Mok Chang was the cherished firstborn son of Dan Mok Su, head of the Dan Mok Clan.
‘He’s surely being well-fed and cared for.’
I didn’t know how long they’d keep attempting the sealing, but they’d probably give up after a few tries. Divine beasts weren’t exactly abundant in this world anyway.
‘So for now, I’ll focus on strengthening Dan Mok Bi.’
Once again, my task had come down to smashing my piggy bank to make Dan Mok Bi stronger.
‘I must become strong enough to withstand the backlash until I meet Dan Mok Chang and shatter the seal on his back.’
According to Baek Ho, if Dan Mok Bi consumed spirit herbs and cultivated his inner energy to gain formidable strength, he’d be able to repel the curse mark on his back himself, no matter how fiercely it activated.
“So I’m counting on you, Master Baek Ho!”
Hey! Just what do you take this mighty divine beast for?!
But even as the author, I possessed no special powers—only slightly more knowledge of the future than others.
‘Even if I know where the spirit herb is, I still can’t find it.’
Spirit herbs conceal themselves in unique forms, which is precisely why they’re so elusive.
Someone like me—with an ordinary sense of smell, mediocre eyesight, and average intuition—would inevitably overlook them even if I saw one.
“That’s why Master Baek Ho is my only hope! Please! Please! Please, please! There’s nothing else left to find. This is truly the last one.”
Ugh! Didn’t you say the exact same thing last time when we caught that carp?! Do you even know how much I hate getting wet? I only went in because you begged me!
Baek Ho grumbled, his blue eyes narrowed sharply. I rubbed my hands together frantically like a fly.
“Of course, of course! How could I possibly misunderstand your noble intentions, Master Baek Ho? I’m grateful even in my sleep and while rolling around!”
If you can’t even speak properly…
Baek Ho shot me a sideways glance, though his tone had already softened.
He really was kind-hearted, after all. I chuckled softly and followed behind him. Though grumbling, Baek Ho diligently searched the garden corner I’d asked for—and found it after about an hour.
Here you go!
The final spirit herb within the Dan Mok estate.
Normally, it disguised itself as an earthworm—a hundred-year-old serpent.
‘Good thing I wrote into the story that it comes out onto the garden rocks in the afternoon, when the sun is high, to bask in the sunlight.’
Otherwise, I might have had to dig up every inch of the vast estate to find this worm. Besides wasting time, I’d surely draw suspicion from others.
‘Especially since the steward’s already been eyeing me suspiciously lately.’
He must’ve expected me to collapse within three days of refusing to serve Dan Mok Bi—but instead, he kept watching me closely as I grew increasingly close to Dan Mok Bi. And during that time, Dan Mok Bi kept growing more beautiful.
‘His suspicious glare practically screamed, “Are you scheming to get close to the young master?”’
They call him “young master” yet treat him terribly—how dare they glare at me like that!
But I couldn’t deny it—Dan Mok Bi truly was adorable and charming!
‘Ugh, but it’s so annoying to be mocked as a love-struck fool by that chain-smoking steward!’
I’m not helping Dan Mok Bi out of some sinister motive—it’s pure, selfless agape love, with not even 0.1 grams of selfishness!
‘Anyway, once he eats this, I won’t need to hunt down more spirit herbs for him.’
All that remains is for him to train diligently and become a formidable martial artist.
‘So there’s nothing more for me to do. This is the end.’
From here on, it’s entirely Dan Mok Bi’s domain.
‘But how on earth do I cook this spirit creature that looks like a worm or a snake?’
My gaze returned to the serpent disguised as a worm that Baek Ho had caught. I’d never even tasted raw candy, let alone cooked a worm.
‘Maybe I should prepare it like seasoned sea snails?’
But I should hide its actual form as much as possible—otherwise, he’ll be too repulsed to eat it.
As I pondered various cooking methods, Baek Ho, who’d been walking lightly beside me, suddenly bared his white teeth.
Hey, I don’t know much about human life, but why go to such lengths just to feed that guy?
His tone clearly disapproved of how much I fussed over Dan Mok Bi. I shrugged.
“He’s pitiful—he’s suffered so much already.”
A child who’d grown up alone, eating nothing but thin gruel his whole life, never held in anyone’s arms, never allowed to act spoiled.
‘I made him this way.’
If I’d known it would cause him such pain, I never would’ve written Dan Mok Bi as a villain.
Back then, I didn’t understand—I only thought that just as brilliant light casts a deep shadow, a great hero needed a worthy villain.
‘So this is also my way of repaying karmic debt.’
Now that I’ve crossed over into this world, I can no longer rewrite the novel. All I can do is give it my all.
‘So that the story ends with “and they all lived happily ever after.”’
Just as I steeled my wavering resolve, Baek Ho snorted and replied,
Oh wow, now you sound like a cat trying to swim.
Startled by the odd metaphor, I stopped walking and stared wide-eyed. Baek Ho flicked his pointed tongue and continued,
If he’s pitiful, what about you? You look like a half-starved cat, soaked to the bone with fur plastered down. You’d be better off eating it yourself.
I knew he was worried about me, but the comparison irked me.
“…Why does every metaphor you use involve cats? Is the ‘Baek Ho is actually a cat’ theory real?”
Ridiculous!
Baek Ho snapped, but I narrowed my eyes.
‘That luxuriant white fur couldn’t possibly belong to a tiger. I’ve suspected it for a while—could he actually be a cat?’
Just as I was studying his round ears intently, Baek Ho abruptly turned his head away and grumbled,
What do you even gain from caring for him? Sure, he thanks you now—but once he gains followers of his own, do you really think he’ll remember you?
In other words: don’t get stabbed in the back; take care of yourself while looking after Dan Mok Bi.
I carefully set the bowl containing the spirit herb on the ground and lifted Baek Ho, who looked oddly displeased. As I gently stroked his head, I replied,
“I’m not doing this to receive anything in return.”
Baek Ho silently stared at me. Meeting his clear blue eyes—like the sky after rain—I couldn’t help but smile.
“How could anyone remember? I don’t even recall much from that age myself. Expecting someone to remember you forever just because you cooked for them a few days—that’d be awfully selfish, wouldn’t it?”
It’s not just ordinary food, though.
To me, it was no different from regular meals. Fortunately, I’m a good cook and knew where the spirit herb was—and Baek Ho found it, so it wasn’t as if I’d gone to extraordinary lengths to do him a favor.
I rubbed Baek Ho’s soft ears between two fingers and answered,
“I just want to help the young master. I hope he finds happiness.”
May he grow incredibly strong—never again threatened with death, never cursed again.
‘That alone would be enough.’
In the end, all I wished for was for the story I’d written to conclude this way:
Everyone lived happily ever after.
That was my only desire.
Tch. What a fool—you can’t even take care of yourself.
Realizing I truly meant it when I said I expected no reward, Baek Ho pouted. I hugged him tightly, rubbing my cheek against his fluffy fur.
“Hehe, don’t be sad! I’ve got plenty of talents—shall I give you a paw massage today too?”
Do you think I’m a cat?!
He snapped, but Baek Ho subtly turned his head and added,
Hmph. Very well—I shall graciously permit you to touch my paws.
“Master Baek Ho is the best!”
Cats are undoubtedly the most perfect creatures—starting with their soft, pink jelly-like paw pads.
After pressing a quick kiss to Baek Ho’s indignant nose, I set him down and headed toward Dan Mok Bi’s quarters, humming a tune and carrying the spirit herb I’d just caught.
I didn’t know—a small shadow had briefly fallen in that distant corner… then vanished.
Hidden behind the wall, Dan Mok Bi bit his lip. Yi Yeon’s gentle voice echoed in his ears.
I’m not doing this to receive anything in return.
It was as sweet as the candied fruit she’d once placed in his mouth—but those words sank heavily into Dan Mok Bi’s chest like a lump of lead.
‘Yeon expects nothing from me.’
To Dan Mok Bi, Yi Yeon was sunlight in darkness, a wellspring to a parched soul. When no one else would reach out, she’d boldly extended her hand to him.
‘I can’t even imagine life without Yeon anymore.’
Yet she claimed to want nothing from him.
That meant she could drift away from him at any moment if her heart ever changed.
‘How can I make her stay by my side forever?’
The unanswerable question swirled dizzily in his mind. Dan Mok Bi buried his face in his palms.
The boy, experiencing love for the very first time, had no idea what to do.
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
