[A gentle, teasing heir to the mystic arts vs. a seemingly innocent, secretly scheming villain]
Jiang Chuyao, heir to the mystic arts, pulled an all-nighter to meet her KPIs. When she opened her eyes, she had entered a period novel.
As luck would have it, she had become the villain Shen Zhiye’s vicious first wife. After courting disaster in every way, she was destined to have her bones and flesh stripped away and be thrown into the sea later in the story.
At first, Jiang Chuyao wanted only to keep her head down and stay far away from both the protagonists and the villain.
But the System demanded she carry out all kinds of cruel deeds on behalf of the original character, pushing her down a path of no return.
Including, but not limited to, losing the child left in Shen Zhiye’s care by his eldest brother and breaking the leg of Shen Zhiye’s younger brother...
Jiang Chuyao: “I’m starting to think you don’t want me to live.”
The System smiled. “How could that be?”
As Jiang Chuyao and the System battled wits, the Shen family’s attitude toward her changed completely, and she avoided the fate of being thrown into the sea.
More importantly, Shen Zhiye, a villain in sheep’s clothing, knew perfectly well that Jiang Chuyao liked his shy, innocent act. He kept up the disguise as he drew her into a trap he had laid long ago.
Only after he had completely claimed her did the man finally shed his mild, harmless facade and reveal his utter madness.
He backed her into a corner, his eyes brimming with a terrifyingly deep obsession. His thin lips almost brushed her ear as he murmured, “A-Yao, aren’t you good at fortune-telling? Then tell me, will I let you go?”
