How to Survive As A Villain
(穿越成反派要如何活命)

a novel by Yi Yi Yi Yi (伊依以翼)

This is a hopefully persuasive primer on how to
get started reading How to Survive As A Villain,
also known as To Be or Not To Be.

This novel has quickly become one of my favourites,
and I hope that I can convince you to give it a chance !
It's got some super sexy things in it such as an enemies-to-lovers romance, discussions on the futility of war
and the cyclic nature of revenge, and canon wlw.

If you have any questions or suggestions,
