I Refuse to Seduce the Villain

Yun Youran wakes up inside a male-oriented novel as a disposable female character. In the original story, her beauty gets her selected to assassinate the villain, Baili Xun, but he kills her before she can even lay a finger on him.

The book describes Baili Xun as eight chi tall and stunningly handsome. He clawed his way to power over the corpses of his own family, and is a treacherous villain cursed by all and feared as a fiend who disdains the gods.

Yun Youran refuses, but to no avail.

Before she leaves, her master tells her, "You're beautiful. Just seduce him with your looks, and you'll surely succeed."

Yun Youran looks at her own frail, helpless self and falls into thought.

This clearly won't work.

So she decides to slack off and just pretend to give it a try.

For instance, when Baili Xun is weakened by poison, it's the perfect chance to assassinate him.

Yun Youran gets an idea. While Baili Xun isn't looking, she secretly eats every last one of the precious pills she's been coveting for ages.

Think those will cure your poison? Dream on!

Afterward, Baili Xun looks on coldly as Yun Youran rolls on the ground in pain after eating something she shouldn't have.

For another, Baili Xun is bathing in the hot spring, completely off guard. Killing him should be a piece of cake.

Yun Youran plunges into the water, but... it's freezing down there, so she steals his sleeping robe and puts it on herself instead.

No sleeping robe for you. Freeze to death!

Afterward, Baili Xun watches Yun Youran cry in pain after being hit by a hidden weapon. He casually grips her chin and sneers, "You overestimate yourself."

Then one day, Yun Youran receives an order: if she can't complete the mission, she'll be executed.

With no other choice, she prepares a large quantity of aphrodisiacs and plans to "deliberately seduce" Baili Xun, making him die from excessive sex.

Through a series of mishaps, she ends up drinking every last drop of the potion meant to trick Baili Xun into taking it.

Yun Youran trembles uncontrollably and points at the bowl with a little left in it. "There's one sip left. Do you want it?"

Baili Xun's gaze turns dangerous. He leans in, leaving her nowhere to retreat. "A stupid assassin will get herself killed."

He moves a finger, erasing the traces of Yun Youran's mischief, then drinks the last sip.

Yun Youran doesn't manage to leave that night.

The next morning, she runs off with a flushed face, one hand supporting her sore lower back. Baili Xun catches her and leans down to whisper in her ear, "Weren't you going to kill me? The mission isn't finished. Where do you think you're going?"

Yun Youran chokes back tears. "No more. I don't want to do this anymore!"
