Xia Tangyue transmigrates into a novel about a woman disguising herself as a man to take the imperial examinations. She becomes the younger sister of the heroine, born of the same mother. Because she was born prematurely, she has been frail and sickly since childhood. Jealous that the heroine is healthy, can run and jump, and is able to study outside the home, she often turns their parents against her and causes trouble. In the end, she sets her sights on the male lead and resorts to every underhanded trick to win his affection. When her schemes are exposed, her family rejects her and sends her back to their hometown, where she eventually dies of a cold.
Xia Tangyue has no time to cause trouble. She's too busy getting her health back.
But even if she doesn't stir up trouble, someone always seems to push her into it.
One midsummer afternoon, as she leisurely admired the lotus flowers and fed the fish, a System suddenly appeared in her mind.
The System called itself a conquest System. If she bound herself to it and conquered the villain, she could get anything she wanted!
Xia Tangyue was tempted for a second, then firmly refused.
She's an introvert. Having to take the initiative and conquer someone would be far too much for her. Just imagining it made her cringe so hard her scalp tingled.
After Xia Tangyue drove it away by threatening to report it, the System wandered around in dejection.
Its Host wasn't willing to cooperate and complete the mission. What was it supposed to do?
Just as it was feeling lost, it suddenly spotted someone walking below.
The man was tall and straight-backed, wearing the academy's uniform student robes. He had an otherworldly air and a gentle, refined manner. He was none other than the Host's conquest target, the villain of this novel.
The System's little head spun rapidly as it came up with a brilliant way to complete the mission!
Song Qingchuan has been haunted by a demon spirit calling itself a System.
He pretends to cooperate with it, soothing its feelings.
[I am your System, but you are not my Host. You are an agent completing missions on the Host's behalf.]
[To thank you for your contribution to the mission, I can give you half the reward each time you complete one.]
At last, the man who had stayed silent responds.
“Why only half? What about the other half?”
The demon spirit called the System answers in a strange tone, brimming with righteous confidence.
[The other half is obviously split between me and the Host!]
The man lets out a short, cold laugh.
“What are these missions you speak of?”
[Conquer the villain! Raise his affection value to 100%!]
He knows how to get straight to the point. His soft voice carries a hint of curiosity.
“Who is the villain?”
[Song Qingchuan.]
Song Qingchuan: “???”
