The Herb King - Chapter 264 - Gilbert’s Arrival

Deemed hopeless by her family and that she was better off married when her fourth novel continued to be a flop, aspiring author Xiang Wan begins to doubt herself. While feeling conflicted about continuing her dream as an author, things take an unexpected turn when a dazzling guy appears before her and takes her to the police station.

”What is justice? What is evil? If given a second chance, I would no longer care about the opinions of others and only seek immortality.“With a cry to the heavens, Dusk Vale met his tragic end.But fate had other plans. He was granted a mysterious power that sent him back 300 years to the moment everything began.In this new life, he would live without concern for the judgments of others. No more restraint, no more hesitation — he would use any means necessary to achieve true immortality.What is the best villain? In my opinion, it is someone who does a lot of evil but is still considered a good person by some people. Someone who never really thinks about others but has many people who are loyal to him.Can one person defeat the entire world? Stupid, humans are born on the same level; surpassing one person is already not easy, let alone surpassing all of them combined. That is why Dusk will absolutely not act alone in this life.

She was transmigrated into a novel where she became the cannon fodder who abused the male lead and ultimately suffered her demise under said male lead. And to return back home, she had to obtain the city boundary map first.

Ye Mu doesn’t want to play a game! Now that she’s inside the book with such a plot, the only way around her death is to kill the male lead first and let this world collapse!

However, upon seeing a scraggly, skinny little boy whose brows were full of perseverance, her hand won’t move…

Well then, she would subdue the male lead’s tyrannical tendencies! How to do it? Raise the male lead and have him help her find the city boundary map? That’s a good idea!

Despite raising him properly, the male lead seems to have grown into a devious man who won’t listen to her. Moreover, he lures her over with the city boundary map.

“Do you want this or not? Then come to my bed.”

Her face was full of tears. Where was the promised honest and upstanding monarch? Does she have to raise him all over again?

The man smiles and pats her on the head, “Come on, stop crying. Wash and go to bed.”
