[Extremely long warning, I've already worked out the whole story in my head!]
Name: Ming Jia
Personality: Brutal, sinister, taciturn (according to the book)
Current status: Transmigrated into a book, disabled, bound to a System, and... in a wheelchair.
As the infamous, thoroughly wicked scumbag A villain in this book, Ming Jia said, "So I'm supposed to redeem scumbag A and protect the heroine, right? Don't worry, I've read plenty of these. I get it."
System: [No, no! You can't redeem yourself. Your mission is to bully and humiliate the heroine mercilessly.]
[These are all necessary steps on her grand journey!]
Ming Jia: ???
Ming Jia propped her chin in her hands, looking innocent. "But I'm really a good person. People used to call me a saint."
System: [...Shut up!]
[Do what I say. Do you want to keep those two broken legs of yours or not?]
*
A System's orders can't be disobeyed, so Ming Jia still set off down the path of a wicked scumbag A.
But a saint is softhearted by nature and can't stand to see anyone suffer.
She ordered the heroine to kneel as punishment.
Beforehand, she covered the floor of the room with soft lambswool carpets.
She punished the heroine by forbidding her to eat.
Then she locked her in a small dark room full of food ingredients, where steak and foie gras were waiting just outside.
She intended to whip the heroine.
She first replaced the whip with a softer material that wouldn't hurt much, then sent over medicine afterward.
One day, the brutal, gloomy, taciturn Alpha was caught by the beautiful heroine Omega while bringing her medicine.
Ming Jia looked at her hand, gripped tightly in the other's grasp, then at the beautiful woman's striking, guarded face, and finally at her own legs, which had escaped the wheelchair and could now stand.
She suddenly had a bright idea. Turning to the beauty, she gave her a sweet, obedient smile:
"Actually, I'm Ming Jia's twin sister. My name is Ming Jian."
"My sister... treats me terribly and won't let anyone know I exist, so you mustn't tell her, okay?"
Ming Jia looked pitiful. "Will you?"
Xi Lingyi: "Okay."
*
From that day on,
Ming Jia cut corners while tormenting the heroine according to the plot, while also using her identity as the pitiful younger sister to get close to her and bring her comfort.
Watching the "younger sister" and the heroine grow closer and closer, Ming Jia wondered:
The plot points have all happened, so why hasn't the heroine killed her yet?
No matter.
Using her "younger sister" disguise, she added fuel to the fire. "Waaah~ Sister, my sister seems like she's going to kill me. Sister Xi, will you save me? Let's fight back against my sister together. Everything in the house can be yours..."
Xi Lingyi met her gaze just as she had the first time.
Beautiful, pure, and untainted.
"Okay."
With the beautiful Omega's furious rebuke as cover, Ming Jia successfully faked her death and left Xi Lingyi a massive "inheritance."
One day,
she was enjoying a romantic sunbath on a beach in a foreign country.
Xi Lingyi grabbed her wrist. As she bent down to brush their lips together, she blocked out the light coming from outside.
"Miss Ming Jia, shall we continue our role-playing game...?"
Ming Jia: How! Did! She! Find! Out!!
*
Xi Lingyi had never met anyone like her.
She was immersed in darkness, yet radiated scorching light from within, without holding anything back.
From the first moment she saw her, Xi Lingyi knew that Ming Jia and Ming Jian were the same person.
She enjoyed her care, played along with her act, and accepted the rules of the game she laid out...
She didn't understand why she needed two identities, but she was always willing to play along.
Xi Lingyi thought:
Even if things stayed this way forever, caught up in this little romance, that wouldn't be so bad.
Until one day,
her Ming Jia disappeared!
She wanted more: wealth, status, power... more and more.
She would build an exquisite cage and imprison her "master," Ming Jia, inside it until the end of time.
