[Transmigration + palace and household intrigue + Everybody Hates Me System]
What?
She transmigrated into Empresses in the Palace as its biggest villain, Ulanara Yixiu, and got bound to the [Everybody Hates Me System]?
Lin Wan laughed.
The System wanted her to raise every major character's hate level to 100%. Trigger the execution ending, and she could go home. Wasn't that just following the original story? Ruin Chun Yuan, harm the imperial heirs, torment the consorts. She could clear it with her eyes closed.
She thought she had a guaranteed winning script, but when it came time to actually act, she realized
She had never even killed a chicken.
She was good at sharp-tongued remarks, scheming, and wielding the rules to her advantage, but whenever a plan meant taking a life, harming an heir, or driving someone to ruin, she always lost her nerve and softened at the last moment.
And so, what should have been a bloody path to becoming a poisonous empress somehow turned into her protecting the entire harem.
The more she wanted to die, the better she seemed to fare. The more she tried to make people hate her, the more everyone around her came to fear and respect her, for reasons they couldn't quite explain.
When the hate level got permanently stuck at 80% and the System announced, “The ultimate hatred ending can never be triggered,” Lin Wan finally broke down
“I just want to go home. Why is that so hard?”
It's okay. Let's see how the protagonist operates later to increase the disgust value.
