My Sister Is Charming and Clever! How Could She Be the Villainess?!

[Court and Household Intrigue + Transmigration + Her Ex Pursues Her, but They Don't Get Back Together + Sweet Romance (A Little Angst Early On) + Clear-Headed and Lively Heroine]

Ruan Nuannuan transmigrates into a novel she once read, becoming a cannon-fodder supporting character with the same name as her.

In the book, she is breathtakingly beautiful but completely uneducated. Her aunt schemes to marry her off to a womanizing marquis, and she dies after a short life.

The day she transmigrates, General Ruan is accused of treason, and 568 members of the general's household are sentenced to death. She escapes the massacre because she is away studying under a master.

Two years later, the case is overturned. The emperor posthumously honors General Ruan as a Great General Who Protects the Nation and arranges for Ruan Nuannuan to marry the Third Prince.

Everyone in the capital knows that the emperor is giving Ruan Nuannuan this marriage as compensation, out of guilt for having wrongly executed the general's entire family.

But no one knows that on the first day Ruan Nuannuan returns to the capital, eight years later, an imperial decree arrives at her door canceling her engagement to the Third Prince.

If he has no interest in her, she won't force the issue.

Her former family home has been taken over by her aunt's family.

Under the pretense of looking after her, her aunt and uncle have made the general's residence their own. Her cousin seduces Ruan Nuannuan's former fiancé, while her male cousin tries to force himself on her.

Even the memorial tablets of her parents and brother and sister-in-law have nowhere to rest.

Ruan Nuannuan smiles calmly. "I'll rid the world of such wicked people in Heaven's name."

When she finally shines, the Third Prince regrets his decision and shamelessly comes begging at her door.

Ruan Nuannuan smiles. "He's trash. Why would I pick him back up after throwing him away?"

She handles everything in the capital with ease, yet she cannot see through the Duke Who Guards the Nation.

The book clearly said that the duke was cold and merciless, and had no interest in women.

So why isn't he following the story's plot?!
