Does the Villain Have to Marry the Dragon-Pride Hero?

In her previous life, Shen Fengshu became a villain who fled her sect. Her junior brothers, all favored sons of Heaven, hunted her down, and she eventually died beneath a rain of arrows.

Then Shen Fengshu was reborn, this time as the fiancee of her junior brother Pei Jing. Her role in this life was to be a disposable male side character, abused in body and spirit by Pei Jing and his friends, then crying as she told Pei Jing, "I love you."

Shen Fengshu looked at the familiar faces before her, the very people she had raised with her own hands, yet who had also driven her to her death.

She turned away and threw up into a trash can. "Men... urgh... I love you... urgh..."

To fight this nauseating fate, she decisively resolved to kill the male lead, Pei Jing. But as a child of fortune, Pei Jing was protected by the Heavenly Dao, and every assassination attempt Shen Fengshu made was thwarted.

Even worse, her sarcasm and snide remarks all sounded like flirting to Pei Jing.

Shen Fengshu: "I really want to die together with Pei Jing."

Pei Jing: "He'd rather die than be apart from me."

When she saw Pei Jing survive a lightning strike without a scratch, Shen Fengshu burst into tears. He still won't die?

Pei Jing: So he really is afraid of losing me.

Pei Jing had loved Shen Fengshu in his previous life.

He was always thinking, My senior brother is the best person in the world.

But why were there always so many people around him?

Why couldn't he look at me alone?

Why couldn't his hands touch only my face?

He slowly raised his head and looked coldly at the crowd surrounding his senior brother. A thought screamed wildly in his heart: I really want to... kill them all.

So in this life, even if he died, he would crawl back to his senior brother's side, spend every night beside him, and hold him by the waist.

He would lick every inch of his skin.

Shen Fengshu, sleeping soundly in her dream, suddenly shivered. Why does it feel like that dead junior brother of mine is back?

She hurriedly pulled the voodoo dolls bearing Pei Jing's name from beneath her pillow and clasped her hands together in prayer.

Pei Jing watched from the shadows, his gaze softening. As expected, my senior brother loves me.

He even has to cuddle my doll while he sleeps.

*Content warning: The protagonist really is a villain, and early on she genuinely wants to kill her junior brothers.

[Bonus Scene]

After discovering that their senior brother had been reincarnated as Pei Jing's fiancee, the junior brothers, now reincarnated themselves, said in front of Pei Jing:

Friend A: "Shen Fengshu is a gold-digger! He only cares about your money, A Jing. If you fall for it, you're done for!"

Friend B: "With Shen Fengshu's personality, he can barely be bothered to walk if you so much as show him a little kindness. If you tell him you like him now, won't he be walking all over you by tomorrow, making you carry him even out of bed?"

Friend C: "You're so young. Why rush to tie yourself to someone? Shen Fengshu loves you so much, he'll marry you once you've had your fun!"

In private:

Friend A: "A gold-digger? That's exactly what I want! I'm so rich that money's all I've got. If senior brother would share even a little of his love with me, I'd be the happiest person in the world."

Friend B: "Walking all over me? That's exactly what I want! If senior brother married me, forget walking. I'd hold him while he ate and while he bathed. He wouldn't have to touch the ground for twenty-four hours."

Friend C: "Senior brother is young in this life and easy to deceive. Honestly, if the three of us teamed up and took out Junior Brother Pei, senior brother could marry us, couldn't he? Hehehe."

Pei Jing: Go die. All of you, go die.

"In short, is this a story about sectmates sabotaging one another just to win their senior brother?"
