Weren’t We Supposed to Be Executed as an Entire Clan? Why Is Everyone Asking for My Hand in Marriage?

[A ridiculous, drama-loving heroine who’s all about hitting her KPIs and getting home VS a top-tier lovesick, obsessive hero who uses his incomplete mind-reading ability to talk himself into romance]

Shen Suiwan transmigrates into the role of a wicked cousin destined to be killed off, and gets bound to the “Family Execution System.” All she has to do is make Lu Zhi, a cold-blooded censor with power over the court, hate her to the bone and execute her entire family. Then she can take her billions in prize money and retire in the modern world. To secure her year-end bonus, Shen Suiwan starts dancing all over Lu Zhi’s danger zones.

Lu Zhi investigates corruption, and she openly carts over a million taels of gold.

Shen Suiwan screams inwardly: “Bury him under a million taels of gold! Make my dad’s bribery charge stick and get the whole clan wiped out!” Lu Zhi, with his incomplete mind-reading ability: “A million taels of gold... for Lu Zhi...” **Lu Zhi, moved and imagining things:** She knows I’m short on funds for the investigation, so she emptied her dowry overnight to pay for it. She’s willing to bear accusations of treason for me. She really loves me so much!

Lu Zhi is gravely wounded in an assassination attempt, and she viciously sprinkles salt into his wounds.

Shen Suiwan glares fiercely: “I hope it hurts enough to kill you! Hurry up and hate me, then bring troops to raid my home tomorrow!” Lu Zhi, with his leaky mind-reading ability: “It hurts... you...” (along with her racing heartbeat as she anxiously completes her KPI) **Lu Zhi, obsessive and possessive:** Seeing me hurt makes her heart ache so much her heart’s about to stop. She’s deliberately provoking me because she’s afraid I’ll pass out. She’s so wild, and I love it.

Then, on the day of the empress’s coronation, Shen Suiwan gazes at the endless procession of wedding gifts and completely breaks down. “System, what happened to executing my whole family?!” The brooding, aloof powerbroker pins her firmly in place from behind and murmurs obsessively, “Suiwan, to secure the realm you gave me, today I shall ‘raid’ your bedchamber...”
