The System Forces Me to Torture the Villain, but I Spoil Him Rotten

Lin Wan and Su Qing had been the closest of friends in the modern world. Then, overnight, they both transmigrated into an overwrought period romance novel. One became Shen Qingyan, a dignified yet wicked empress; the other became Liu Yuru, a dowager empress with real power in her hands.

In the original story, they were mindless tools, ordered to join forces to suppress Regent Xie Jingchen and Eastern Depot Commander Shen Jinghan. They drove two loyal heirs, already burdened by tragic backgrounds, into becoming villains whose entire families were executed. In the end, they too met gruesome deaths within the palace walls.

Just then, a cold System forcibly bound itself to them: within three months, they had to make both villains turn completely evil. Failure meant immediate erasure!

The System ordered them to treat the men coldly, but they responded with gentle words. It ordered them to frame and betray them, but they protected them with their own lives. It ordered them to show no mercy, but they spoiled them rotten!

At court, they stepped forward to shield the men from open and hidden attacks. Within the palace, they carefully planned each move to clear their names of centuries-old infamy.

Xie Jingchen went from wary and suspicious to having eyes only for her. “A realm stretching ten thousand miles is nothing compared to your smile.”

Shen Jinghan went from cold and sinister to tender and protective. “In this life and the next, I will protect only you.”

Facing the System's punishments, scheming ministers' accusations, and the pressure of imperial power, Lin Wan and Su Qing stood side by side, determined to tear apart the accursed shackles of the plot.

They wouldn’t follow the script, be anyone’s tools, or break the hearts of the men they loved.

The System wants me to torment the villains? Sorry, I’ll protect them, trust them, and spoil them instead. We’ll rewrite the tragic ending for everyone and live life on our own terms.
