Synopsis

[Comedy and meme references + A great state of mind + Going berserk + Plot + Devoted 1v1 romance, extremely doting] I’m so broke I have only five yuan left in my pocket, and you’re asking why I can’t see the beauty in the world? If I don’t turn evil, who will? If I don’t go crazy, who will?

[Comedic villainess who goes berserk at the slightest problem × Beautiful, strong, tragic villain who is gentle and extremely doting]

Zhao Moxun transmigrates into a CEO romance novel as Xia Yan, the tragic and wicked villainess from the original story.

Faced with the heroine’s innocent-eyed, white-lotus antics, the hero’s arrogant disrespect, and the supporting characters constantly provoking her, Xia Yan refuses to put up with any of it. Her sharp tongue attacks everyone indiscriminately. She never gets worked up over problems: when trouble comes, she goes straight off the rails.

When her good-for-nothing younger brother comes asking for money, she smiles and agrees, then grabs his phone and applies for a 500,000-yuan loan from a loan shark.

When Lan Qing, the third male lead, calls her a rock that sprang from the ground, she says nothing. She just picks up a rock and weighs it in her hand. “My mom’s going to beat you up!”

The original male lead, scumbag CEO Xiao Yancheng, drags her to the Xiao residence to punish her. She immediately takes charge, wandering all over the place and turning the household upside down.

…

To get enough to eat and stay alive, Xia Yan mooches off Chu Xili, another tragic, beautiful, and powerful villain from the original story. In exchange, she agrees to help him pursue the heroine. But as the plot goes on, things start to take a strange turn. The villain, who was supposed to be a lovesick underdog doomed to a tragic end for the heroine, gradually becomes all coy and calculating around her.

At last, Chu Xili can no longer hold back his confession.

Xia Yan freezes, then gives him a fake smile. “Chu Xili, you’d better be joking. Otherwise, I’ll strangle you, little sister or not.”

His eyes turn red at the corners. “All right. But before you strangle me, could you give me a kiss?”

I originally thought I'd wait until it was finished before reading it, since it was still being serialized, but I clicked on it out of boredom, and wow, it's so good! I couldn't stop reading. The plot is hilarious, and the author has incorporated so many inside jokes, which I absolutely love.

The author is quite talented; the female lead is a bit eccentric, which is reassuring. It's a good read! Author, please, please don't stop updating! Can you write more? Author, you must persevere! Don't abandon the story, don't stop updating! Author, remember, I'm here for you!

So good, so good, so good! Yanzi is really different from other novel characters who transmigrate into a book with a system that allows them to defy fate. She doesn't try to seduce the male lead or replace the female lead either. She's so realistic, just an ordinary person, like any of us. When it comes to money, nothing else matters.

The female lead has a great personality; she doesn't drain herself emotionally, but rather drains others. This is the kind of spirit and values that modern young people should learn. It's so good! The female lead's personality is very prominent, and the male lead's character is also very engaging. Could there be more romance?

Author, please keep updating! 💪💪💪 This is so good! It's so comfortable to read. The female lead knows so many inside jokes, which is so rare. It's so enjoyable to read, not frustrating at all. It's just that there aren't enough episodes! 👍👍👍

The novel is packed with plot points, making it the first book I've read that I never found boring 😄. The male lead is the character I've seen who realizes his true feelings the fastest 🤔. The female lead defies Yuan Xia Yan's predetermined and unfair fate to survive to the end, while the male lead, through his scientific understanding, discovers that the female lead doesn't belong to this world.

It's so good! I stayed up all night watching it and almost cried at the end TT, it's so good 🥺 Men who watch it get their period 🙄 Women who watch it go crazy 💪 This is the nemesis of depression 😎 It's the alarm clock for vegetative patients 😭 So cute that tears streamed from my mouth and flooded the Qiantang River 😱 So cool 😘 God is my rose, illuminating my dark life and giving my world meaning…
