Sharp-tongued but soft-hearted beauty x stoic, jealous man who keeps his feelings bottled up
Only after Shi Ling died did she learn that she was the vicious fake heiress in a rich-family story.
No wonder she'd gotten killed off so early in her previous life.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back at the place where she'd been kidnapped at twenty. Outside, the kidnappers were plotting to trade her for five million!
Shi Ling was scared to death... and then came back to life.
There was a shard of porcelain within reach, and she could grab a stick just by stretching out her leg.
An opportunity served up on a platter? She'd be a fool not to take it.
If she was supposed to be wicked, why not start by dealing with these two enemies?
She ambushed the kidnappers and escaped, but fainted on the way down the mountain from exhaustion.
The next day, she woke up.
System: Pei Yuqing will become a villain. Your mission is to win him over. You must not do anything bad.
Shi Ling nodded, then lay down, rolled over, and yawned out of boredom.
System: Winning him over doesn't mean sleeping!
Shi Ling looked innocent. "I haven't done anything bad."

Win Pei Yuqing over?
Even a good horse doesn't eat the grass it has already passed. She'd have to be crazy to pursue that frigid ex-husband.

A few days later.
Shi Ling: Pei Yuqing, I moved. I'm living across from your bedroom.
Shi Ling: Pei Yuqing, I ordered takeout for you. Remember to eat.
Shi Ling: Pei Yuqing, I find your behavior very familiar. You're just like a dog.
Pei Yuqing: Hmm?
-
Shi Ling vowed to make Pei Yuqing fall for her, complete her mission, save her friend, and then dump him with gusto!
By autumn, Shi Ling no longer hated Pei Yuqing.
It wasn't until the following March that she realized the affection score reported by the System had been hers for Pei Yuqing all along.
So she'd stopped hating him long ago. Was that it?

An illegitimate son who wanted nothing, was gloomy, and had more than a little quit in him learned that his wife was short on money. He worked hard and earned money like mad.
But before the money came, he got the news that his wife was leaving!
