It was only after she died in her previous life that Zhong Yu learned she was a character living in the world of a novel.
Her half-sister was the novel's heroine, while she was the vicious supporting villainess who constantly opposed the protagonists. Her miserable end, dying without a proper death, was therefore set in stone.
After being reborn, Zhong Yu returned to the year her stepmother had just married into the family with her sister.
Would she come to her senses and repent?
Would she become a kind person, live peacefully with her stepmother and sister, and become one big, loving family?
Would she cling to the protagonists' coattails and turn their enmity into friendship, no longer opposing them at every turn?
...Ha. None of that was going to happen!
As a vicious villainess, Zhong Yu learned from her past mistakes and resolved to be as "vicious" as possible in this life.
For example,
before doing something bad, she'd first bring out that great villain for a spin, then team up with him while she was at it...
**
Zhong Yu: Do you know why I took a liking to you?
Great Villain: ...Wasn't it because I'm so handsome?
Zhong Yu: No. It's because you're so evil!
In Zhong Yu's memories, Jiang Zi from her previous life was unquestionably a ruthless man. He was gloomy and cold, brimming with hostility, like a bloodthirsty, savage lone wolf who might devour someone and leave not even a scrap of bone.
Most importantly, he was the only great villain in the novel's world who even the protagonists feared!
