I Helped the Pure-Hearted Villain Turn Evil, and He Turned Around and Locked Me Up

Lin Qian travels into a melodramatic CEO romance novel and becomes the universally hated female side character who gets dumped by the male lead from the start.

As long as the plot runs its course, she can take her one-billion-yuan prize and go back to modern life to lie flat. So she immediately sets her sights on Jiang Zhihan, the ultimate villain, who is still a doormat at this point in the story.

Lin Qian rescues a down-and-out, beautiful young man from some thugs blocking an alley, then grips his chin and brainwashes him:

Listen. When you meet a woman you like (meaning the original heroine), don't grovel! Take her by force! If she tries to run, lock her up in a dark room!

Jiang Zhihan nods obediently. "Okay. I'll do whatever you say."

Lin Qian diligently plays the role of the villain's mentor. Then, when the original heroine makes her dazzling entrance, she eagerly shoves Jiang Zhihan forward. "Go on! Use the tricks I taught you on her. Tie her up and take her home!"

Lin Qian shouts until her throat is dry, never noticing the increasingly unreadable look in the villain's eyes.

Just as she thinks she's about to finish the job and take her money home, night falls.

Lin Qian stares in shock at her wrists, bound tightly with a necktie, as she lies trapped on an enormous soft bed in a luxurious villa.

The pitiful disabled young man who was supposed to force the original heroine into submission has not only gotten up from his wheelchair, he's also undoing his shirt buttons at a leisurely pace.

Mad possessiveness surges in Jiang Zhihan's gloomy eyes as he grips her slender waist with red-rimmed eyes. "Qianqian, you taught me that when you like someone, you lock them up. So, am I a good villain now?"

Lin Qian instantly cowers like a quail. "Wait, that's not how the story goes! You're supposed to force the heroine to love you!"
