The Cub I Raised Turned Out to Be a Reborn Boss (GL) - Chapter 1

The woman reflected in the bronze mirror had an otherworldly air. Her pale blue silk dress outlined a slender, graceful figure, and crane patterns were embroidered on her plain white outer robe. As her eyes shifted, they carried an aloof, breathtakingly beautiful elegance.

No matter who saw her, they would praise her as an unparalleled beauty capable of toppling cities.

But right now, this beauty was a little depressed.

This body was indeed beautiful, but it belonged to a wicked supporting villainess who committed every evil imaginable.

The moment Jiang Yixue opened her eyes, she had transmigrated—and into an otome game, no less.

Jiang Yixue herself did not play otome games, but her friend had just told her about one today. Apparently, there was an unforgivably evil female supporting character in the game who had the exact same name as her. Because of that, she remembered it very clearly.

Love and Encounters was a newly released otome game. It told the story of the heroine, from the player’s perspective, being swept into the chaos of the Three Realms because she possessed a divine bloodline, and meeting four outstanding men along the way.

In games like this, there always had to be a female supporting character with noble birth, outstanding talent, and city-toppling beauty—but with a bad brain and a vicious heart—to highlight the heroine.

The vicious female supporting character in this game happened to share Jiang Yixue’s full name.

As soon as this game was released, it became wildly popular on the market because of its complex and varied choices and story routes.

In this game, every choice the heroine made would affect the later plot. There were countless hidden endings, but only four final HE endings.

In order to reach the HE endings, players racked their brains. Jiang Yixue had heard her friend explain all four HE endings. The male lead was different in each one, but they all shared one thing in common—the vicious supporting character Jiang Yixue would always die at the hands of the male lead. The male leads gave it a noble-sounding name: avenging the woman they loved.

Jiang Yixue: “…”

So this was a world where I’m the only one who gets hurt?

At that moment, Jiang Yixue secretly pinched her palm.

It hurt. She was not dreaming…

Jiang Yixue thought back for a moment. She had also played through the game once. But when she played, her mindset was not to immerse herself in the heroine’s perspective and fall in love with four men. Instead, she had treated it like a heroine-raising game.

The other parts of the game had not been very attractive to Jiang Yixue. What had made her unable to look away was the heroine’s character model.

Because the storyline began from the heroine’s childhood, the young heroine was soft, cute, and exquisitely delicate, like a little angel descended to earth. Her black, lively eyes rippled like water; her pink cheeks had two tiny dimples when she smiled; and her red lips and white teeth made her irresistibly adorable. Even the most exquisite Barbie doll could not compare to her.

The greatest regret of Jiang Yixue’s life was that she did not have a younger sister. Whenever she saw other people’s soft and sweet little sisters, Jiang Yixue admitted she was extremely envious.

A living, humanoid, oversized Barbie doll who could act spoiled and talk—who wouldn’t love that?

To satisfy her joy of playing with an oversized Barbie doll, Jiang Yixue spent money in the game solely to buy beautiful clothes for the heroine. As for the plot and the male leads’ affection points? What were those? How could she possibly let the cabbage she raised be stolen by pigs?

Jiang Yixue played through the game with the mindset of raising a doll. By the time she reached the ending, all four male leads still had zero affection points.

She achieved the most difficult BE ending in the entire game.

Because the heroine became contaminated with demonic energy, she was expelled from the sect. In the end, she fell into the demonic path, inherited the legacy of the former supreme ruler of the demonic path, Youmingzi, established Youming Palace, and called herself the Netherworld King.

The heroine had already been mentally obsessive to begin with. After being betrayed by her former friends, combined with the bloodthirstiness that came from demonic cultivation, she changed completely.

The sects that had once borne blood feuds with her were slaughtered one by one, and the entire world fell into panic.

In the end, several major sects joined forces and, under the banner of eliminating demons, broke through Youming Palace. In order to study the divine bloodline in the heroine’s body, they imprisoned her for over a thousand years. The heroine was tortured for a thousand years in soul-scorching flames, and finally, when the guards were lax, she managed to self-destruct…

After seeing the ending she had achieved, Jiang Yixue froze.

Where was my soft and cute little girl? How did I raise her into the final boss, only for her to be gone in the end?

When Jiang Yixue’s friend saw this ending, she laughed so hard she nearly doubled over. “My dear ancestor, this is an otome game. What kind of otome game has no scenes for the male leads? Of course it ended in BE!”

Jiang Yixue curled her lip in disdain. “Who says the heroine can’t reach HE without the male leads protecting her? The values of this otome game are seriously wrong.”

Her friend said helplessly, “Then tell me, without a male lead route, how can it be HE?”

Jiang Yixue answered, “As long as the heroine doesn’t fall into the demonic path, won’t everything be solved?”

As long as she did not fall into the demonic path, she would not be expelled from the sect. Then she would not become the enemy of the world, and the final BE ending would be impossible to achieve.

Before going to sleep, Jiang Yixue had still been thinking about the game. When she opened her eyes, she had arrived inside it.

“Senior Sister Jiang, Senior Sister Jiang.”

A girl wearing a pink dress ran toward Jiang Yixue with joy on her face. “Song Xi has already been forced onto the martial stage by us. Do you want to go take a look? This time, we must make her lose face and see what right she has to become Martial Uncle Han’s disciple!”

This girl was called Shen Qingruo. Her face was full of righteous indignation, but Jiang Yixue’s mind went blank for an instant.

Song Xi? Wasn’t that the name she had set for the heroine?

So she really had transmigrated. She really was not dreaming.

Jiang Yixue looked at Shen Qingruo’s expectant gaze and finally nodded. “All right.”

She had failed at raising her through a screen last time. Did that mean she now had another chance? A real, soft and adorable little doll. And Jiang Yixue still remembered the heroine’s character art. The heroine as a child was truly illegally cute. It really was impossible for a little-sister fanatic not to be moved.

This part of the plot happened fairly early, so she still remembered it.

After the heroine entered Yuqing Sect, she was actually accepted as a personal disciple by Han Yansu, the chief elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Who was Han Yansu? He was the male god of all the female disciples in Yuqing Sect, aloof and proud, like an immortal banished from heaven who had never touched mortal smoke and fire.

Jiang Yixue, who had secretly fallen for Han Yansu in the first place, was especially furious. Because of that, she bore a grudge against this little girl.

She was the personal disciple of Yuqing Sect Master Xue Qiancheng, so her status was very high, and she had many lackeys around her. Thus, under her instructions, these lackeys had made up their minds to embarrass Song Xi.

Song Xi definitely would not foolishly step onto the martial stage herself, but she had a good friend she had met during the entrance assessment—Li Wan. This young, hot-blooded little girl, who did not yet understand the depth of the waters, was provoked onto the stage with just a few words. In order to save her friend, Song Xi had no choice but to step onto the stage and fight.

Jiang Yixue frowned and tried hard to recall what else she had done afterward.

Oh…

Song Xi was Han Yansu’s personal disciple, so Jiang Yixue had not been bold enough to go too far. She had only humiliated her a little before letting her go.

But Li Wan was different. She had no status and no background, so her foundation had been directly shattered, and she had then been expelled from Yuqing Sect.

Li Wan was the first good friend in Song Xi’s life. Because of this, Song Xi formed a hatred toward Jiang Yixue.

Who knew whether this group of people had already crippled Li Wan…

Thinking of the hundred different ways “Jiang Yixue” died in the original plot, her back instantly broke out in a cold sweat. She grabbed Shen Qingruo. “You’re too slow. I’ll take you there.”

A clear sword hum rang out. Within the shadow of the sword, it was as if a blooming green lotus had opened. The green lotus shot into the sky, leaving behind an afterimage in the air.

Relying on her memories, Jiang Yixue used her fastest speed to rush toward the martial stage. Fortunately, soon after transmigrating, she had accepted the original owner’s memories and gained control of the body. She instantly mastered a simple sword-riding technique like this.

The people beside the martial stage were all staring intently at the people on the platform.

One of the little girls’ clothes were already torn, revealing arms covered in bluish-purple marks. She looked very wretched, but even the blood and dirt on her face could not hide her outstanding, peach-blossom-like beauty. Her slightly upturned phoenix eyes, however, were filled with ferocity.

This was Song Xi. She looked disheveled, but in truth, she had not suffered much injury.

On the other hand, the little girl beside her, dressed in blue, was in a much worse state. Her face was pale, and the blood at the corner of her mouth showed that she had suffered internal injuries.

Both little girls were only about ten years old. No matter how gifted they were, they had only just awakened spiritual energy.

Standing opposite them were two children about fourteen or fifteen years old, one boy and one girl. Although they were only nominal disciples, they were quite famous within Yuqing Sect.

These two were Yan Zi and Yan Ming. They were fraternal twins, a brother and sister, and were disciples under Sect Master Xue Qiancheng.

Although they were not personal disciples, everyone knew that they were close to Xue Qiancheng’s only personal disciple, Jiang Yixue, so no one dared to provoke them.

Yan Ming smiled and said, “Since you’ve come to Yuqing Sect, you should learn what it means to respect your senior brothers and sisters. On the martial stage, victory and defeat do not concern life and death. The two junior sisters have already acknowledged your masters, so you should understand this principle, right?”

Song Xi gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at the people opposite her. “Don’t you dare!”

A monstrous killing intent spread through those words. Yan Ming suddenly felt that the person standing in front of him was not a ten-year-old girl, but an asura who had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. He could not help being frightened by the killing aura until his legs went a little weak, and even the sword in his hand almost slipped from his grip.

A moment later, Yan Ming snapped back to his senses.

He had actually been frightened by a little girl. His face flushed red, and he became angry from embarrassment. “Of course I don’t dare touch you. Who doesn’t know you are a disciple valued by Martial Uncle Han? But she might not be so lucky.”

Hearing this, Song Xi instinctively shielded Li Wan behind her.

After living again, was it still going to be like this? Did she still have to watch Li Wan walk toward a tragic ending?

Song Xi lowered her eyes slightly. In a place no one could see, a flash of viciousness passed through her beautiful phoenix eyes. It was like an ancient beast awakening from sleep, her gaze filled with endless, blood-soaked killing intent…

In her previous life, when Song Xi successfully self-destructed and disappeared in the flames, she had thought she was finally free. She never expected she would have another chance to start over.

As long as she was given a little time, she could rely on the memories in her mind to cultivate the Netherworld Secret Manual. By then, these people would all be nothing more than ants.
