After the Salted-Fish Supporting Actress Lies Flat, the Tragic Villain Finds Redemption

Su Wanqing is a prodigy who worked herself into a frenzy until she hit her limit.

In her previous life, she reached the pinnacle, above all others. She demanded perfection in everything and agonized over every step. She spent her whole life competing and striving, never taking a day off, until she literally died from overwork.

She never expected to transmigrate into a book. Clearly, listening to novels before bed is a bad idea. Now she’s become the identically named, foolish, vicious, and domineering cannon-fodder villainess in a sweet historical romance.

Looking at a world full of people fighting for power and endlessly competing with one another, Su Wanqing feels nothing but exhausted. She’s worked hard enough. In this life, she just wants to lie flat, eat and sleep, live quietly, and stay safe, becoming an idle nobody who wants no part of the world. But she transmigrates right into the snowy, freezing opening of the original story, where the original owner is publicly bullying and humiliating a boy whose life has been mired in mud and whose existence is worth less than a blade of grass. He is Xie Jinyuan, the future ultimate villain. The late emperor’s orphan, abandoned by the royal family, he is the most miserable character in the whole book. Born in the dirt and raised underfoot, he is used by the world and betrayed by his own kin. He suffers endless scorn and torment, eventually turning into a deranged villain who slaughters the entire court, only to die miserably in prison, abandoned by everyone, with not even his bones left behind.

Su Wanqing has seen her share of power struggles and bloodshed in her previous life. Looking at his dead eyes and battered state, she simply turns and leaves. Life is hard enough already. Why make things difficult for one villain when you’re a villain yourself? Everyone should just wash up and go to bed early.

She can’t be bothered to torment him, can’t be bothered to invite disaster, and can’t be bothered to act. The freezing weather is too miserable, so she slips away, wanting only to return home, lie flat, and sleep.

She never intended to save anyone. She just wants to do as she pleases.

Everyone is waiting to see the vicious villainess bring about her own downfall and the tragic villain meet his grim end. But who would have guessed that the husband and wife would both make it home together?
