Fake villainess vs. real overpowered protagonist
Airheaded, innocent, spoiled sweetheart x scheming, calculating, deeply reserved heartthrob
Su Nianqin, the eldest young lady of the Baoyue Sect’s inner court, discovers that Xie Xuan, the useless outer-court disciple she bullies every day, is destined to become an overpowered protagonist who makes a comeback.
The original ending: her cultivation is destroyed, the male lead runs her through the heart with a single sword strike, and her soul is scattered.

[Ding! “Overpowered Protagonist Comeback System” successfully bound]
[Main quest: Stop Xie Xuan from becoming murderous toward you]
[Side quest: Gain +1 affection from Xie Xuan every day]
[Hidden quest: Unlock Xie Xuan’s diary (progress: 0%)]
Su Nianqin: “...?”
Two status screens hide the truth; forced sweet romance; you chase me while I chase you, but really we’re both pursuing each other; the System is a keepsake from the male lead, a token of his love; no angst, just grinning like a proud aunt from start to finish
Xie Xuan’s handwriting:
“I’m the one who set up the System.”
“I made up the quests.”
“I wanted to see what you’d look like chasing me.”
“, And Su Nianqin, do you know your ears turn red every time you pretend to be sweet?”
“Everyone in the sect knows Senior Sister Su is chasing Junior Brother Xie.”
“Only Senior Sister Su thinks she’s doing quests.”
*This isn’t a traditional novel format, as it includes forum posts, reactions from people in the sect, his diary entries, and more. It may be a little inconvenient to read, so please don’t start if that’s not your thing.
*Pure romance. “Transformation” refers to emotional and physical dependence.
