[Bright, sharp-tongued young lady who only wants to go home, sweet on the outside and scheming within × Truly deranged villain with emotional detachment]
Between illusion and reality, she will choose reality without hesitation.
·
As a quick-transmigration mission-taker, Jin Zhao only needs to complete 100 minor missions across different worlds to go home.
In the final world, the System says, [In view of your good performance so far, this mission has been simplified especially for you.]
Jin Zhao rubs her hands together, eyes shining. “Bring it on.”
[Mission One: Advance the relationship between the heroine, Meng Yin, and the hero, Shen Qi.]
[Mission Two: Increase the villain's corruption level.]
So Jin Zhao gets down to work, offering advice to the hero, whose emotional intelligence leaves much to be desired, while doing her best to corrupt the villain.
When the hero and heroine meet for the first time, on a secluded lane, Jin Zhao watches from the shadows, looking for the perfect romantic moment.
“This peach came from an auction.” The hero smiles faintly, holding up his payment QR code. His voice is casual as he says to the heroine, “Thirty-eight thousand. Thanks.”
Jin Zhao: “?”
You're the one who controls the whole city's economy. Do you really need that measly thirty-eight thousand?!

Gui Yan is the deranged villain in Beloved. Cruel and cold, he never lets a grudge go unanswered, and he has no regard for ethics or decency. A deep-seated hatred festers in his heart, and later on, he attempts to destroy the world.
To him, Jin Zhao is poison forced down his throat, burrowing deep into his bones. It strikes him with heart-wrenching pain from time to time, yet he cannot give it up.
Later, she turns away from him without a trace of regret. The bright sunset fills her eyes, leaving him alone in hell, sitting motionless as he murmurs, “Jin Zhao, you lied to me again…”
That day, he held her corpse in his arms, its warmth still lingering.
His heart was breaking beyond measure
yet not a single tear fell.
