Romancing the Villain? No, I’m Here to Get Myself Killed

Office worker Xia Wanchu transmigrates into a book as a doomed cannon-fodder character and binds herself to a “Creative Ways to Die” System. If she can successfully die at the hands of the ultimate villain, the regent, she can take home billions in prize money!

How hard can that be? Xia Wanchu sets out on a reckless campaign to get herself killed!

She defies the emperor, and he praises her courage and promotes her on the spot!

She poisons the empress, and the empress praises her exquisite cooking and makes her a trusted confidante!

She sneaks into the prince’s manor to assassinate the villain, only to save his life by accident!

Just as she seems farther and farther from getting home, the regent, whose power towers over the court, corners her against a wall, and she hears his thoughts:

[This woman really is trying to get my attention. Hah, interesting.]

Xia Wanchu: “!!! No! I’m not! I didn’t! Hurry up and kill me!”

The regent curls his lips into a smile. “Want to die? Not so fast. First, become my princess consort!”

Xia Wanchu screams inwardly: “System! Is this villain crazy or something? I want a refund!”
