Volume 3 of Mistakenly Saving the Villain offers a bit of a balm after the darker tone of Volume 2.
Seven Seas unveiled the cover for the third volume of Mistakenly Saving the Villain as illustrated by St. The color is a little cooler and brighter. Yue Wuhuan, in bright red robes, watches with a tender expression as Song Qingshi flies a kite. Cranes fly low among the mountains that Yue Wuhuan is lounging on. 墨路 illustrates the interior artwork. Yuka translates the series.
Written by Feng Yu Nie, Mistakenly Saving the Villain follows Song Qingshi who wakes up in a historical fantasy novel where he must rescue the protagonist from a tragic end. Unfortunately, he doesn’t save the protagonist–instead, he saves the minor villain Yue Wuhuan who is deeply distrustful due to his time as a slave. Armed with his extensive medical knowledge, Song Qingshi is determined to save Yue Wuhuan and heal both his physical and psychological injuries.
Seven Seas describes the synopsis of Vol. 3:
After a dramatic confrontation with An Long, Song Qingshi and Yue Wuhuan finally begin to speak openly about their feelings. Their relationship deepens—an oasis of tenderness in a world that has offered them little peace.
But shadows remain. Even with treatment, Yue Wuhuan’s illness still festers, and Song Qingshi faces his own sickness: the slow collapse of his cultivation. Worse yet, the system—the mysterious voice that first bound him to this story—is far from satisfied with his failure to save the “right” person.
As the truth behind Song Qingshi’s biggest mistake unravels, so does reality itself. Perhaps he and Yue Wuhuan are nothing more than puppets of fate, destined to be twisted and broken by the heavens. Is anything in the world strong enough to break that cycle?
Mistakenly Saving the Villain Vol. 3 releases on June 30.
