The Villainess Awakens: From the Start, in the Big Shot's Bed

[Sharp-tongued, haughty heiress × self-restrained, proper, devoted magnate]

Cheng Wanzhi is the villainess in a novel, hated by everyone and doomed to a tragic ending.

The good news: she’s awakened.

The bad news: she wakes up in the magnate’s bed, having just been given a powerful aphrodisiac.

What’s she supposed to do? Does she really have to spend the night with him?

Sure, he’s handsome and well-built, but she’s every bit as gorgeous herself.

Cheng Wanzhi swings a meteor hammer and knocks him out.

If he wants to take advantage of her, he can try again in his next life.

The third time they meet, Cheng Wanzhi has secretly taken her grandfather’s vintage wine.

Her opening line is, “Marry me.”

Duan Zhouye thinks she’s crazy and turns her down outright.

Cheng Wanzhi sneers. “That’s what happens to unlucky people. They can’t seize an opportunity even when it lands in their lap.”

Later, the supposedly cold and heartless magnate becomes obsessed with her.

In a dim room, his large hands grip her slender waist as they whisper cheek to cheek.

He asks, “Baby, when are you going to make our relationship official?”

Cheng Wanzhi says, “Keep your voice down. Don’t let my fiancé outside hear you.”

Duan Zhouye is a man of refinement.

But Cheng Wanzhi is shrewd, cold, and calculating.

And still, he falls hopelessly in love with her.

Cheng Wanzhi doesn’t cave under pressure. Even with a tragic ending written for her, she does exactly as she pleases.

When she’s happy, she slaps you once. When she’s unhappy, she unleashes the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms.

“Villainous”? That’s nothing.

The heroine has an emperor-like personality: arrogant, self-centered, a consummate self-serving pragmatist with no empathy. Readers with a strong sense of morality may want to steer clear.
