Ruan Shu transmigrates to a dynasty with liberal customs.
She is thrilled at the prospect of enjoying handsome men, only to discover that she has transmigrated into the book as Xiahou Yanxi, the villainous princess and female side character?
And the one with the most tragic ending, too.
Not only is she stripped of the emperor's favor and gets her royal brother charged with treason, she's also hunted down and flayed alive by the male lead and the nine male companions she forced into her service.
Meanwhile, the heroine enjoys everyone's affection and lives happily ever after with the male lead.
Great, so the villainess is just a spice to liven things up for the main couple.
Hehe, but now that she's here, she's definitely not going to repeat the same mistakes.
But what is this "plot" nonsense?
What? If she doesn't follow the plot, she'll be locked in a dark room for a day?
And who's in the dark room... the biggest villain in the whole book?
Wait, the dark room is supposed to be where she whips and torments the big villain until he falls to darkness and gets saved by the heroine?
Xiahou Yanxi is speechless. Does the plot of this book really fall apart without its villainous female side character?
Why does she have to offend everyone?
She refuses to follow the "plot." If she's supposed to torment the big villain, she'll "cherish" him instead and turn him into a weapon against the main couple.
But when did all that pampering start to feel different?
Xiahou Yanxi is frantic. "Big villain, I'm not the one you're supposed to win over! It's the heroine!!!"
"And I'm not the one who's supposed to make you fall to darkness! Why won't you let go of me?"
The big villain, Qi Xun, replies, "Your Highness, you are the one I've been looking for."
"You were so good at tempting me in there, but cold and indifferent out here."
"I owe my descent into darkness to Your Highness, too."
Xiahou Yanxi screams inwardly:
"That stupid System never told me memories from the dark room would stick with me!"
