Mistakenly Saving the Villain #1
Mistakenly Saving the Villain (Novel) Vol. 1
A mission gone wrong and a villain in need of serious therapy await in this heart-rending drama—finally available in English!
Medical student Song Qingshi has just awakened inside a historical fantasy novel and bestowed a mission: save the protagonist from a life of slavery.
There’s just one not-so-minor problem: Song Qingshi doesn’t read historical fantasy and has no idea who is who! So, instead of correctly identifying and saving the protagonist, he’s actually just rescued the brilliant and beautiful minor antagonist, Yue Wuhuan.
Yet not all is lost. Rather than being put off by Yue Wuhan’s suspicious interest in poisons and villainy, Song Qingshi makes it his mission to treat the underlying trauma to reform his “heroic” ward. United by their love of medicine and a budding mutual attraction, the two must face a hostile and fantastic world in a fight to give Yue Wuhuan the happy ending he deserves.

This danmei stands out due to its unique setting. It takes place in a world where cultivation exists, but unlike traditional narratives, cultivators here no longer pretend to be just and righteous. Instead, they reveal their true, often dark, faces. In this universe, cultivators wield their power not for the common good but to enslave mortals, tormenting their lives.
Yue Wuhuan is the love interest of the story, and from the very beginning, we are thrust into his tragic backstory. He starts off as a slave who has endured unimaginable abuse, leaving him deeply hurt and completely hopeless about escaping his circumstances. His despair is so profound that he contemplates ending his own life. However, there is a cruel twist: slaves in this world cannot take their own lives without their master's permission. The cultivators maintain full control over their souls, wielding the power to command and manipulate them at will. This realization adds a layer of hellish suffering to Yue Wuhuan’s existence.
Amidst this darkness, the story introduces a glimmer of hope through Song Qingshi, the protagonist and Yue Wuhuan’s savior. Song Qingshi is a transmigrator and his mission, assigned by the system, is to save the hero of the novel he has transmigrated into and to shower him with love and care. However, Song Qingshi is a medical student with little understanding of love, and due to a system glitch, he lacks complete information about his mission. This leads him to inadvertently save Yue Wuhuan, who, in the original novel, is a minor antagonist.
From this point on, the story unfolds into a journey of healing. Song Qingshi begins to mend Yue Wuhuan’s fractured soul with genuine care, love, and sincerity that are so profound that they bring you to tears. Yue Wuhuan has the settings of a yandere character; he wants to possess Song Qingshi, wishing to keep him by his side forever. Yet, he restrains these unhealthy feelings because he loves Song Qingshi so much and he wants only happiness for him.
He also perceives himself as unworthy and too filthy to express his love openly.
Their relationship evolves into one of the purest and healthiest portrayals of love in danmei. Song Qingshi’s unwavering devotion—his desire to protect Yue Wuhuan, seek revenge for his suffering, and cherish him—reflects a deep, sincere love. His attentiveness to both Yue Wuhuan’s physical recovery and his mental healing adds layers of tenderness and care to their bond. The interaction between them is beautifully portrayed as a pure, nurturing, and genuinely healthy connection.
I particularly appreciated how the author handled sensitive topics like slavery and sexual abuse. This is one of the first danmei stories I’ve read that thoughtfully and respectfully explores these themes, emphasizing that Yue Wuhuan's mental scars will not heal overnight. Even on good days, he remains hurt, and his healing process is portrayed as long and complex, which felt very authentic and respectful.
My only major dislike was the side character An Long, who also acts as a love rival. I despised his character intensely. Every time he appeared, I found myself rolling my eyes at how irritating and annoying he was, which only strengthened my dislike for him.
In conclusion, this danmei marks the beginning of a profound healing journey for Yue Wuhuan. I am eager to see him embrace all parts of himself, recover fully, and take revenge on the suffering inflicted by the world in the second volume. The story’s depth, emotional honesty, and beautiful portrayal of love and recovery make it truly compelling.

I forgot how freaking pure hearted, cute and adorable Song Qingshi really is. Sometimes when I see edits of Hualian, it feels like I’m looking at this CP 🥰. Considering the heavy themes in this novel, IMO the author does an excellent job incorporating humor and sweetness to balance out the tears.
MC Song Qingshi: pure-hearted, gentle, overachiever but clueless and naive when it comes to emotional matters, loves textbooks but thinks novels are corrupt, medical student/MD with ALS who transmigrates into the Medicine King
ML Yue Wuhuan: traumatic past, smart, loyal, self-loathing, thinks he is unclean and unworthy, possessive but sets boundaries
🐦🔥 Xianxia
🐦🔥 Character driven
🐦🔥 Transmigration
🐦🔥 Tragedy with comedic undertones?
🐦🔥 Heavy themes-SA, mental illness, suicide, human trafficking, trauma, torture
🐦🔥 The cutest misunderstandings/misinterpretations
I see and understand all DNFs/lower ratings! I just really have a special place in my heart for Song Qingshi, his devotion YW, and their love story. It’s been almost two years since I first read this so I was nervous if I was going to love it as much as the first time- and thankfully so far, I do.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ five out out of five stars .ᐟ.ᐟ
⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ plot ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
misvil is a transmigration danmei that reminded me so much other popular transmigration novels such as scum villain self-saving system & how to survive as a villain while actually being very different from them at the same time. the mc song qingshi was a sickly medical student who dies and ends up in a popular xianxia novel. the mc does not read so when he receives his first mission to save the kind and tragic shou protagonist…he ends up saving a character who is not in fact the protagonist.
for a transmigration novel this barely has any input from the system which was interesting??? i’m used to the system being an omnipresent figure looming in the background, always ready to offer input or make the transmigrates life harder. that’s not the case with misvil. there are mentions of the original body and tapping into their memories but the system mostly remains silent
this volume was super slice of life. the first few chapters focused on introducing the characters and saving the ML while the rest center healing both physical and emotional wounds. which i did enjoy because it allowed the author to delve deeper into the characters, plus i have a feeling i’ll appreciate this lower levels of angst when things get progressively more painful 😭 however, this first volume was still heavy. like, please please please read the warnings because it deals with SA & a laundry list of other things that are heavily discussed
⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ characters ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
╰┈➤. song qingshi
my shayla. he’s just so. relatable. chronically ill with severe social anxiety and an inability to understand social cues? it’s like looking in a mirror fr
he’s such a deeply lovable character. he’s genuinely so kind and selfless. he tries to connect the dots but sometimes he misses the mark but his heart is in the right place
╰┈➤. yue wuhuan
i just want to wrap yue wuhuan in a big fluffy blanket. he deserve the whole world. he has a lot of disgust and self-hatred toward himself which is absolutely heartbreaking. yue wuhuan went through hell and back so i appreciate that the author isn’t just glossing over it. it’s exploring his psyche and complex web of emotions. the amount of times he referred to himself as dirty,,,
song qingshi says yue wuhuan is his family’s angel, he can do no wrong. and that’s exactly how i felt because i think a little homicidal revenge is okay in the grand scheme of things
yue wuhuan:
song qingshi:
╰┈➤. an long
a second male lead? in my danmei? in this economy? that’s such a rarity that i can name maybe three danmei in which there was a sml that was prevalent for the majority of the story. i didn’t care for an long. his character is interesting but he got on my nerves. a lot. i feel like in this volume there wasn’t that much of a chance to flesh him out like song qingshi & yu wuhuan so an long felt more one dimensional. the writing is amazing so i might just need to have patience because surely we will be able to see the real person an long is behind his mask. his dynamic with yue wuhuan is so funny tho.
yue wuhuan purposely tries to seduce an long just so that song qingshi will go after him. the pair of them are so two faced and manipulative but in different ways
⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ pairing ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
╰┈➤. yuesong 💔 they are going to break my heart to pieces. even though misvil is angsty the two of them are serious adorable. yue wuhuan clearly has feelings for song qingshi but he doesn’t allow himself to feel them because he’s scared that his perfectly normal and okay feelings and desires are just as monstrous as all the men who have harmed him. song qingshi is just oblivious. mans got nothing going on in his brain besides medicine poison and his beloved rats that he experiments on.
⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ final thoughts ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
a couple that dissects corpses together is a couple that stays together. please read misvil because it’s phenomenal and will definitely end up as one of my favorite danmei’s of all time 🤌🏻 .ᐟ.ᐟ

4.9/5 🌟
Amazing!!!
"I want to give you everything," he said. and let out a noise that Song Qingshi couldn't decipher. He could not speak the other words
The first gift is my body.
The second, my soul.
The third is my heart...
I'm yours, forever.
Song Qingshi raised his hands and swung them in time with the countdown. His red lotus blaze popped and sparkled in the air like splendid fireworks, lighting up the entire valley. He stood under the fireworks and gave Yue Wuhuan his most heartfelt wish.
"Happy birthday, Wuhuan."
i was crying happy tears at this point! It was so beautiful , so well written, so tender .. I never wanted this to end! This chapter and the one right after were both part of the cover, and I just could not stop thinking, "well that was mean! why would you do this to us ST! You made that cover so damn emotional and beautiful!" T^T
I said this before in my updates but I'll say it again, one of the biggest issues I have with a lot of BL and dark romance stories is how they avoid the real, brutal trauma that assault victims actually go through — and it’s incredibly sad.
Victims are left feeling ashamed, dirty, unworthy of love, and utterly disgusting, even though they did nothing wrong. They’re innocent, yet they carry this invisible weight that doesn’t wash off, no matter how many times they try. This was a really refreshing take to see. (also, to think 10 years have passed from the beginning to end of the volume!)
So for Wuhuan to be willing to give his body, soul, and heart over to Song Qingshi despite still mentally healing, just leaves me weak! I just want to wrap them up in a warm blanket like a burrito, feed them, and let them be happy forever! ( っ´ `)っ(˶˘ ³˘(´͈ ᵕ `͈˶)

Wuhuan literally went though hell. He hates himself and wished to die to just leave the hell he was living. He used to have so much bright potential to him. He deserved none of the cruelty and torture... So seeing him battle the intrusive yandare-like thoughts of wanting to stain Song Qingshi, but feeling too dirty to be worthy of him is so gut wrenching. In reality, this man deserves love, warmth, and kindness.
And then the heavens decide to want to kill him. Why must it be like this! ｡°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°｡
"Why?" he murmured to himself, staring up at the lightning-filled sky. "Am I not even worthy of living?" Yue Wuhuan understood at last. He laughed as he looked at the clouds above.
"You'd break all the heavenly laws just to end me now? This is beyond hatred... There must be a reason you want to kill me at the foundation stage. Are you afraid of me?"
....
Yue Wuhuan stared down at the limp body in his arms.
Please! This isn't the ending I want! His heart reeled from a blow not even the lock bug could cushion, and his breathing grew erratic.
"D-don't be sad." Sensing his state, Song Qingshi struggled to muster the last of his strength and force the words from his burned throat. His grasp on consciousness slipped. Wuhuan, did you hear me? .·°՞(っ-ᯅ-ς)՞°·.
Man, this part hurt!
I'm so excited for what's next! I love that Song Qingshi got revenge for him! I love that he's so gentle. Haha he unconsciously snuggles Wuhuan and don't even know it! Lmao! ꉂ(˵˃ ᗜ ˂˵)
Mr An is driving me a little nuts tho... What's his deal!? 😱
Only reason this is not a 5/5 is because at times, they emphasized what he went through and brought it up too much, and as a fellow victim of abuse, it honestly made me queasy—bringing back my trauma! It was too much, man! They mentioned and brought up his beauty at least one too many times. Just on repeat.

5/5 I know I've been rating these novels pretty high! I love, live for danmei okay!
Twenty pages in and I was already crying. I didn't think the pain from volume one would hit me so suddenly! I can't really articulate how I feel about their dynamic at the moment. It's a small volume, so I hope to see more development soon. You can slowly start to see one person's true side emerging (trying not to spoil anything! 🙊).
I feel so deeply for how trapped Yue Wuhuan is. Song Qingshi wants to save him and bring him back to who he was before. Song Qingshi is determined to heal Yue Wuhuan using his medical knowledge from his previous life and make Yue Wuhuan feel like himself again, but other complications keep arising, namely Yue Wuhuan's mental illness. The sheer amount of care Song Qingshi has for Yue Wuhuan just breaks my heart!
I just want to hold Yue Wuhuan and cry with him. He has gone through so much! I've cried over him multiple times, even as I write this review. He deserves nothing but happiness!
Happy reading!🥰

Song Qingshi died from ALS and was transmigrated into a novel. He became the character Song Qingshi, known as the Medicine King for his incredible medical skills and knowledge of poisons. He cultivates Emptiness and possesses two different fire abilities, one of which is Hell Fire, which can be poisonous
.
Song Qingshi saves Yue Wuhuan, who is a slave—and tragically, a sex slave. Yue Wuhuan endures immense pain, both mental and physical, and hates every part of himself because he feels defiled and dirty. These horrible people trained him how to seduce men! If he resisted, they would drug and torture him. I cried my eyes out reading about it!
Yue Wuhuan doesn't want Song Qingshi to touch him, perceiving Song Qingshi as clean and pure, but he has been having desirable thoughts toward him. Yue Wuhuan wants him all to himself. He wants to defile Song Qingshi, and that is where his Yandere tendencies start to emerge.
I want to continue this story, but I'm not sure yet! I also want to read The Wife Comes First when it comes out.

So far I'm a bit disappointed if I'm being honest. This series has a lot of fans, so I expected something more interesting? Apparently more things happen from vol 2, but yeah, this was very light on plot so far.

Reading this book the second time (I've read the fan tl) makes me appreciate the author even more. She's planted so many clues in these early chapters to establish the truth she'll reveal at the end.
Yue Wuhuan, my heart goes out to you! The suffering he's gone through is brutal, and he's entitled to all his madness and unhinged behavior.
Song Qingshi, his purity and his determination to heal and care for Yue Wuhuan truly move me. Whenever I'm reminded of the truth about him (revealed at the end), my love for him only grows more.

"Everything you once had, Ill find and return to you. I'll give you everything you've longed for."
The cover was the first thing that grabbed me, and I actually really like it. Seven Seas covers are usually a hit or a miss for me, but this one works. The interior art, though, didn’t land the same way. The bodies, outfits, and backgrounds look solid, but the faces feel off in a way that kept pulling me out of scenes. It seems small, but it matters when the story leans so much on emotion.
The story itself delivers a charged and uneven ride built around hurt characters learning how to breathe again. The tone swings between dark trauma and awkward humor, which can be engaging but also jarring depending on the reader. Song Qingshi reads as a gentle and anxious healer who means well even when he fumbles, while Yue Wuhuan is sharp, guarded, and shaped by deep wounds. Their dynamic has a slow pull. Qingshi offers quiet care without noticing how personal it feels, and Wuhuan studies every touch as if it might vanish. The emotional work between them grows in these quiet pockets and will appeal to readers who like relationship development that simmers more than it bursts.
The plot moves through medical trials, buried pain, and moments where small steps forward break apart again. It’s a heavy mix of healing, fear, and hesitant connection, with bursts of danger that give the story a sudden push. By the time the larger conflict arrives near the end, the momentum feels earned and the characters feel changed. It lands as a solid but imperfect read that rewards patience, though some readers may struggle with the graphic abuse, power imbalances, and the way the narrative favors feeling over action.

Well it’s been a long time since I spontaneously purchased an ebook and read it throughout the night. Normally I’m buying the physical copy of seven seas releases because the Danmei publications are so pretty but when I noticed last night that it was already out I decided to eat the cost of an ebook even though I know I’ll be grabbing the special edition the next time I’m at the bookstore and honestly zero regrets.
Finishing volume 1 and this is shaping up to be one of my top Danmei series. I can’t wait for the other three volumes to go out.
I love all the tropes this volume had but I also was impressed with the translation and how easily it flowed. Granted I find the transmigration ones tend to be easier reads because the MC has modern slang in their POv thoughts and that tends to translate smoother but overall it was a decent pace. Big fan of the hurt/comfort caregiver trope in this arc and appreciated that even though the ML (the one the MC saves thinking it’s the protagonist) is broken and traumatized from 10 years of physical and sexual abuse while being a slave and they don’t shy away from letting us know how he was assaulted continuously, they also don’t include flash backs or present scenes depicting the SA, glorifying/romanticizing it or even leaning in to scenes a “trauma porn” which I think too many authors especially in these types of Danmeis utilize.

I just KNEW I would love this

This was a re-read for me, since I read the whole thing this summer. And it was even better the second time around! So many small hints now make SO much more sense. All those references… but I’ll keep this spoiler free. Figuring out everything was one of the best parts of Misvil :) highly recommended!

This truly is a tragic and heart breaking tale of a traumatised and broken man.
I am in two minds about this though. Because on the one hand it tells you just enough that it leaves a lot to be imagined, which is arguably worse than telling you outright. On the other hand, I wish it went deeper. It might in the future but I feel that while I feel like it did touch on Yue Wuhuan's mindset and thoughts and trauma, it could have gone deeper.
Likewise, I feel like it could have actually looked into Song Qingshi's thoughts and mindset about being diagnosed with ALS and essentially losing himself and dying because of it. He seemed to just bounce back a little two quickly and doesn't really dwell on the fact he literally died.
That being said, it definitely shows the complicity of trauma.
I look forward to seeing where it goes, especially with An Long and .
Justice for Yue Wuhuan!! Death to all that hurt him!!

Song Qingshi’s mind scrambled to process her words. Of course he liked Yue Wuhuan. The system had sent Song Qingshi to complete a task, but at some point, he’d stopped thinking of this world as fiction. He treated Yue Wuhuan well by instinct, like it was carved into his bones. He wanted to give him the world, to see him happy, to know that he’d forgotten pain.
Okay, so I started this mainly because I liked the cover and the plot seemed interesting, but I didn't expect to love it this much. Let's go:
• Song Qingshi is truly the character ever. Clueless, golden hearted, and head over heels for Yue Wuhuan, except he doesn't know it yet. That's my autistic coded guy!
• Yue Wuhuan, what have they done to you. Beautiful, innocent, and so broken, he deserves nothing but love and comfort. Just know that when he exacts revenge on the slave owners, I'll be there supporting him all the way.
• An Long is so weird but I like his whimsy. The way he pines for Song Qingshi is so bisexual, and I think he needs a guy to spoil him fr.
Anyway, if it's not apparent from this messy review, I loved this story and was completely immersed. Qingshi and Wuhuan aren't even a couple yet but I already love their relationship and can't wait to read more about them. <3
Special thanks to my amazing friend Monique for introducing me to this danmei and buddy reading it with me. 🥰

“‘No one in the world will humiliate you ever again.’” (86)
Where can I find a partner who respects me, cares deeply for my mental wellbeing, and wants to punish my enemies? That’s the kind of support I need.
Anyway.
This is lovely????
Like genuinely really sweet and wholesome all-around???
I enjoyed this so much more than I expected to from a story with such a silly title.
Despite being a transmigration (i.e isekai adjacent) novel, I found this to be a really thoughtful story about helping someone who survived abuse heal and learn how to feel safe again. Qingshi is so considerate and supportive of Wuhuan and he really makes it a priority to help him overcome his trauma and find peace again.
Also, they are both down with murder—which is FANTASTIC.
I love murder husbands. It’s my favorite trope.
There’s no moralistic nonsense here. Nah, we’re straight up hunting down abusers and giving them what they deserve. I stan kings. More of this PLEASE.
Anyway, anyway.
This is GREAT.
Would highly recommend for all readers, especially those who keep trying and failing to find a romantasy story they genuinely enjoy. You don’t want to read romantasy—what you’re looking for is danmei. Promise me. It’ll hit all the points you’re looking for~
(This was my birthday read so I am extra glad it was SO good~)

Unfortunately, I didn’t vibe with this the way I wanted. My enjoyment really started to curdle halfway through, and while there were some elements of this story were interesting, it’s not enough to make me want to continue the series.

I have now tried reading this 4 times between the fan translation and this official one, and I just can't do it. The story is so interesting, the set up is great, and I love a story about healing from trauma/finding a person you can heal with. But this one just... the writing wasn't it. It felt very impersonal and extremely tell-y rather than showing. It was hard to care for these characters that we barely know, and it felt like every scene was the same thing over and over again.
I guess I'm pickier with writing/structure than I thought when it comes to danmei - I feel like I used to push through bad writing/writing I don't vibe with because we only had like 3 options, but now dozens of danmei are being published and I don't feel the need to force myself.

3.8 stars
MISVIL was a fun read, but I found myself sometimes a bit bored or didn't funny understand where this was heading and I'm also a bit disappointed of Seven Seas that they chose to shorten the first volume when other book from them have 40+ chapters per volume.
I know that ending leaves things a bit cliffhange-y, but it was so sudden (and a bit random) that it just left me wth style.

I can't wait for the next volume next year! At some points it was slow but it was so relaxing and cute just seeing our main characters together that kept me reading all the way through.

I might not continue the series. Definitely made me cry at times, it has some very heavy topics. All I can say is I hope Yue Wuhan gets the justice he deserves and lives his life to the fullest.

Oh wow! This piece of literature has a big amount of discourse, let me see what's going on! *walk walk* *7seas jumpscare* AHH!
Okay jokingg~ This Danmei caught my eye on two occasions, first of being a fan favorite and generating a good amount of hype and anticipation. The cover drawn by suto (st.) and the interior illustration also done by a majestic artist under the name 墨路. On the other hand we had the discourse of the monopolistic and greedy behavior of seven seas, which made this book barely 300, paper thinner than the one on a public toilet and the 'special edition' being so lackluster done (The art was great, but the quality and decision to make paper goods and charge $10 on top... yeah...) We couldve gotten two thick volumes or maybe even 3... but no we got to pull this long, like a chewing gum.

˗ˏˋ The Story ˊ˗
Song Qingshi, a medical students wakes up being transmigrated into a novel! Under the task to help the main hero, he starts his journey with much enthusiasm. Although shortly after the system starts to disappear and leaves him with a cryptic and uncomplete mission. Following the Systems instruction, he is guided to find the handsome and smart main character of the novel... and stumbling onto the ball he see's him. Yue Wuhuan. Checking every criteria!
On the contrary, Yue Wuhan is a villain and he had every right to be. But having a annoying tail following him and treating him like a kicked puppy. Tending his wounds in and out. He starts to struggle internally why the young man would do such kind deed's to tend for *villains* wounds.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
˗ˏˋ My Two Cents ˊ˗
Okay! Lets get to the meat, i quite liked the first volume, but not loved it. The dynamic between the characters? Very Good! They have quite the chemistry and the development happens lightning fast. As a transmigration novel it has certainly a quick pace, yet lingers on the moments between the main couple and the aspects of trial and error. Not only in the medical field, since Song Qingshi was a medical student in his prior life, but also as they start closing in.
The rather dark topics are handled expectantly with care, exploring the aspects of human trafficking, sexual assault, mental illness, trauma, torture, suicide. So keep your eyes peeled for those if you have negative experiences with such content warnings.
The only aspect that lacked in my option, was the lack of a persistent goal or threat outside the character motivations. Big Plus points and stars on Characters, momentarily lacking in the suspense and tension. Maybe the next volumes will bring more to the table, whilst the first volume did serve as a splendid afternoon snack. A pity 7Seas did cut the volumes in such a profit driven mindset.

He had no power. No reputation. No gems, no friends, no home.
He was Yue Wuhuan, still, a filthy beast with absolutely nothing to his name.
The mirror landed on the floor, shattering into pieces.
So dirty. Everything is so dirty…

¿Cómo va a terminar el libro así?😭 Qué buena historia. Este primer libro, aunque lo he sentido como muy introductorio para lo que se viene realmente (faltan 3 libros más), me ha encantado. Personajes muy carismáticos e interesantes. Definitivamente, Son Qingshi mi favorito🥺✨️ La trama me está pareciendo muy interesante, pero también dolorosa. En especial todo lo relacionado con los traumas de Yue Wuhuan. No le dan ni un segundo de paz. An Long también me pareció un personaje bastante guay, pero a la vez me está costando pillarle las intenciones y con ese final me he quedado a cuadros.
En fin que yo solo quiero qje Son Qingshi y Yue Wuhuan sean felices juntos y se pasen la vida entera estudiando medicina. No pido más😭
Ahora a esperar hasta finales de febrero del próximo año para leer el siguiente 🥲
