After Binding Myself to a Death-Seeking System, I Drove the Villain Insane

A modern corporate drone unexpectedly gets bound to a “death-seeking System” and transmigrates to ancient times. The System gives her a near-impossible mission: only by tormenting the mad, unpredictable regent, who holds power over the entire court, until he’d be better off dead, or even driving him to a breakdown, can she earn death-seeking points and get home sooner! From then on, while others compete in the palace with schemes, she competes by seeing how far she can push the limits! “System, I’ve already angered the regent so badly that he coughed up blood. Does that count as death-seeking?” “Congratulations, Host! Death-seeking points +100! Keep it up, and try to make His Highness go mad for you!” So she finds all sorts of ways to court death: openly flirting with male companions in the great hall, carousing night after night in the emperor’s bedchamber, seducing the enemy prince into submission, driving the villainous emperor into a fit of rage, and even inciting infighting among court officials until the whole realm is turned upside down! Everyone says she’s gone mad, but the usually cold and ruthless mad regent looks at her in increasingly unsettling ways... He’s supposed to be sick to death of her antics, so why can’t he resist her on every lonely night? And the young general, who grew up with her and was once gentle and reserved, witnesses her “downfall” and gradually descends into darkness, swearing to “save” her from the mire... But does she really need saving? This is the epic tale of a mad heroine who courts death to rise to power in ancient times, wins the villainous male lead until he’s driven to madness, and casually ruins the life of an innocent second male lead along the way!
