(No romance + lighthearted comedy + a squad of incredible besties + putting scheming women and scumbags in their place)
Shen Yujun was the legitimate daughter of a marquis's household. After her green-tea aunt and scumbag father kicked her out, she was consumed by resentment and decided to go full villain, forming the "League of Villainesses" to get back at society!
To grow her ranks, she sweet-talked and tricked a few down-on-their-luck young women into joining her.
She planned to lead them in all sorts of mischief: "Go smash that shady shop for me!"
But by the next day, the whole city was talking: Miss Shen had secretly destroyed an enemy spy network and provided relief to disaster victims. She was truly a saint of her age!
Watching her "delicate" girls take down assassins with one hand, Shen Yujun was completely dumbfounded:
Was her fan who wrote sappy poems every day actually a celebrated poetess of the past?
Was the dope who kept sneaking candied hawthorns the adopted daughter of the world's greatest master?
Was that pitiful little girl really a princess who had run away from home?
As her scumbag father and his family trembled at her feet, and the whole world sang her praises for her benevolence, Shen Yujun nearly cried:
I really just wanted to be a villain! Stop making things up about me!
