So I’m the Villainess in a Male-Oriented Novel?

[A slow-burn plot with a lightly ensemble cast] [A talented, proud, yet reasonable heroine × a dazzling beauty of a male lead who is secretly a scheming green tea] Before she turned seventeen, Lin Zhilan’s life had gone almost impossibly well. She was the most gifted disciple in the sect, treasured by her master, and held in the highest regard. But on her seventeenth birthday, a little bird fell from the sky, jolting loose her shattered memories and shattering the illusion of her perfect life. Was she really the villainess in a male-oriented novel? And would she become the very sort of person she despised, consumed by hatred and jealousy toward the male lead?

Unfortunately, the secrets they both carried were too heavy. How difficult it was to be honest. But when that proud figure, carrying the fresh scent of plants, truly began to drift away from him, he still couldn’t stop himself from chasing after her. “Have I ever mattered to you, even a little?”
