Su Xiao, codename “Qingluan,” was an ace operative who died after being betrayed by a teammate.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become the doomed heroine of an ancient-style angst novel, destined to suffer heartbreak, torment, and physical abuse for three hundred chapters.
System 333 enthusiastically came online: [Host! Stay in character and drive the male and female leads’ tortured romance forward! Complete the mission, and you can go home!]
Su Xiao rolled her wrists and looked at the male lead, whose face was twisted with fury.
The next second, she twisted his arm behind his back and pinned him against the railing. “Try that again and I’ll cripple you.”
Male lead: ???
The System wanted her to make their romance more tortured? She drugged the male lead and shoved her legitimate older sister into a woodshed.
The male lead was chasing his wife through the ashes? She walked past with an umbrella and tossed out, “Don’t get heatstroke and fake a faint to con me.”
Later
Enemy troops laid siege to the city!
Dressed in white, she entered the enemy camp alone and took their general’s head amid an army of thousands, becoming a goddess revered by all.
Later still, Xiao Jingyan knelt in the mountains and asked, “I regret it. I truly do. Will you come back?”
She gazed out over the sea of clouds and smiled faintly.
“The people of this world, the mountains and rivers, the sun and moon are what I love. As for you... I never loved you.”
[An angst novel? Sorry, I only torment the male lead.]
[No romance. The heroine becomes a legend and focuses on her career for a hundred years.]
