Reborn as Cannon Fodder, I Use the System to Make Villainous Powerhouses Cry

[Transmigrate into a book] [System-driven] [Rehabilitating villains] [Play the pig to eat the tiger]

Overworked office drone Yu Zhi collapses from exhaustion at work. When she opens her eyes, she's inside the business-warfare melodrama Evil Game, as a disposable bystander with only two lines in the whole book. She plans to keep her head down and survive, but the [Takeover and Reform System] forcibly drags her to the negotiating table. She has to show up and steal the spotlight at every drinking party, dinner, and conspiracy gathering where the original heroine appears. Every villain has a moral KPI above their head, and if their purification progress doesn't reach 80%, she fails. Can't talk them around? Then she'll get shocked until she learns to persuade them patiently.

Capital predator Huo Xiao narrows his eyes at her. "Back again to persuade me to spare a small company? The next hunt has started." Rising power broker Ji Chenge sneers. "Framing my colleagues is my hobby. Guess why I deliberately let you find out?" Forced to make the case for morality while grumbling inwardly and dreaming of slacking off and running away, she watches helplessly as the villains line up to reform, the original heroine Bai Ying gets left in the background, and the plot completely falls apart.

But when Yu Zhi uncovers the System's real agenda, she discovers that the so-called redemption mission is actually a "villain experiment" broadcast to a higher-dimensional audience. The threat of getting beaten if she fails to persuade them is a sham; the truth is that anyone she fails to save will be formatted.

And why has the string of garbled characters on the back of her own neck started flashing too?
