   To correct the plot, the system, after countless failures and reflections, gritted its teeth and bound itself to the villainous male lead, the source of all the failures, for a conquest mission. Incidentally, it also granted the female lead the ability to read minds, watching with amusement as the male lead repeatedly humiliated her. The male lead, initially indifferent and disdainful, eventually falls for her, becoming humble and insecure in her presence. The female lead, however, remains clear-headed and rational, constantly growing, always wary of the male lead. Near the halfway point of the story, her affection for him remains below 20, even occasionally decreasing, unintentionally driving him to the brink of madness. Finally, the male lead reveals his identity, atones for his sins, and reveals the system's existence to the female lead, exchanging sincerity for genuine affection. He allows the female lead to observe him for the rest of her life, only then does her affection change. It's a slow-burn, gradual romance.
