Weren't You Supposed to Be the Hated Villainess?

Sang Xiaohua, 22, a fresh graduate with all the clear-eyed foolishness of a college student, steps on a banana peel and performs a 720-degree midair spin. When she opens her eyes again, she's transmigrated into a melodramatic historical romance as the villainess Sang Yining!

The original owner comes from a prominent family, yet insists on throwing her life away for the Crown Prince and male lead, Shan Junlin, while relentlessly plotting against the heroine, Xu Changxin. In the end, her entire family is strung up on the city wall to dry for three days. She's practically the most tragic villainess in history!

Wow, a prestigious background just fell into my lap. What a blessing!

Sang Xiaohua: ...You want this blessing? Be my guest!

To keep her head, she decides:

Stay away from the male lead and stay safe.

Win over the heroine and beg for mercy.

Keep a low profile and survive at all costs.

But the plot has gone off the rails! It's so broken even its own mother wouldn't recognize it!

The Crown Prince, Shan Junlin, who personally wiped out her entire family, now pins her against a wall, eyes bloodshot: “If Yining won't marry me, there will never be a Crown Princess in the Eastern Palace.”

Shan Ziruo, the carefree prince who was obsessed with the heroine in the original story, toys with her belt and chuckles: “This prince is determined to climb into Third Miss Sang's bed.”

Even Fuguang, her quiet personal guard, rips off his disguise and carries her over his shoulder: “I've been in love with you for a long time, my lady...”

And the scariest part is

The story's greatest villain, Regent Xie Qi'an, arrives with an army of thousands and kneels in the middle of the street, holding up a bloodstained jade seal: “I'll offer you the empire as my bride price. Ningning, will you marry me?”

Sang Xiaohua watches the powerful men in this blood-soaked battlefield of love, their eyes red with murderous fury, and clutches herself, trembling:

“Weren't villainesses supposed to be hated by everyone? Can I still run for it?”

The four men look at her and say in unison: “Now it's your turn to take responsibility, Ningning!”
