The Transmigrated Novel Side Character Refuses to Be Redeemed

Office worker Lu Songrong transmigrates into a book, becoming the vicious female rival in a ridiculously melodramatic rich-family novel.

What is a vicious female rival like? She loves the male lead as if under a spell, goes berserk targeting the female lead, and endlessly picks on the male lead's archenemy, the villainous big boss, all to win the male lead's favor. In the end, the villain holds a grudge against her, and she gets killed.

Unlucky Lu Songrong transmigrates into the role of the brainless villainess who gets killed by the antagonist. When she arrives, she's still holding a whip, lashing him. Looking at the murderous look in his eyes, Lu Songrong scoffs inwardly.

What would an ordinary person do after transmigrating into the vicious female rival who abused the antagonist, and having just whipped him?

Drop the whip, immediately put on a fawning expression, and explain that it was an accident. Terrified of her future fate, she stops fawning over the male lead and starts fawning over the antagonist instead. Though she suffers plenty of injuries along the way, she eventually manages to touch his heart. The antagonist falls hopelessly in love with the female rival, and they end up together?

But Lu Songrong doesn't. She gives the antagonist another lash.

“You think you can glare at me?”

Lu Songrong can't be a doormat. She used to be humble because she was broke and had to be careful to survive. But after transmigrating into a book, she's rich and beautiful, a wealthy heiress. Why should she suppress her nature and grovel for anyone? So she goes into full-on berserk mode, whipping anyone who annoys her. She won't fawn over the male lead or the antagonist. She'll do whatever she wants and bulldoze everyone!

The self-important male lead? Have a slap.

The female lead with top-tier tea skills? Get a faceful of my spit.

The creepy, scheming antagonist lurking in the shadows? You get a slap too.

She has no intention of redeeming herself. She's going to stay unhinged to the very end. Even if she still gets killed, she won't regret having a good time!

But why is the antagonist looking at her more and more tenderly?

Shangguan Jin is an illegitimate son of the Shangguan family. Ever since he could remember, everyone had called him a “bastard.” His mother resented that he couldn't help her marry into a wealthy family. His father despised him, but couldn't do without him, because some dirty work had to be done by a rat from the gutter like him.

He hated everyone equally, especially that stupid woman named Lu Songrong.

Countless times, he'd seen her fawning over Shangguan Ci, only for all her efforts to earn the same response: “Please have some self-respect.”

In the end, Shangguan Ci didn't marry her. He turned around and married someone else. In order to get a little closer to Shangguan Ci, the stupid Lu Songrong actually chose to marry him.

But after they were married, Shangguan Jin became her punching bag. Whenever anything went wrong, she took it out on him.

“I swear, you'll die a miserable death.”

After being humiliated yet again, Shangguan Jin said viciously that he swore to become the new head of the Shangguan family, destroy the Lu family, trample Lu Songrong underfoot, and repay her humiliations a hundredfold.

But for some reason, from that day on, Lu Songrong's violence wasn't aimed only at him. She seemed to have gone crazy. She slapped Shangguan Ci, went off on Jiang Nian, and even publicly humiliated her father-in-law. She bulldozed everyone equally, and Shangguan Jin found it oddly satisfying.

Because the things Lu Songrong said to those people were exactly what he wanted to say.

Her violence was no longer directed at him. She treated everyone equally, and for the first time in ages, Shangguan Jin felt he was being treated as an equal, with respect. He even began to look forward to what kind of crazy thing she'd do next.

Lu Songrong was uninhibited and bold, and she didn't try to please anyone. She only pleased herself. Shangguan Jin realized that as long as he didn't provoke her, she basically ignored him. So he made himself less noticeable, becoming a peeping tom in the corner. He liked watching her go berserk. It made him feel understood and helped him unwind.

By the time he realized what was happening, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

A heroine who goes crazy from working and vows to bulldoze everyone & a gloomy, scheming, perverted male lead who lurks in the shadows
