Rong Zhu transmigrates into a book, becoming a wealthy young lady who lives next door to the male lead, a useless little villain.
The male lead will one day become a powerful Grand Secretary who commands the realm. For now, though, his family has fallen on hard times, and he is a pitiful boy everyone can bully. Rong Zhu is supposed to bully him, humiliate him, ignore him, and hurt him until he is completely broken. A System is watching and tallying the damage she inflicts.
She wants to save herself, but she cannot break character, so she has no choice but to make a show of courting disaster while secretly doing good deeds.
The male lead has no food or decent clothes. To his face, she mocks him, but behind his back, she turns into a fairy godmother, bringing him meals and vegetables.
The male lead cannot afford to study. She pretends to sit back and watch, while secretly finding a way to give him money.
The male lead is bullied. She pretends to help the bullies, but actually redirects their attention elsewhere.
Rong Zhu: I've worked myself to the bone, playing both sides like this. Surely we can both get what we want, and everything will turn out perfectly, right?
When they first met, she thought the male lead was strong and resilient, fresh and lovely as a spring sprout, sure to grow into a towering tree one day. So how did he end up turning into a green tea tree as he grew?
Lin Luo: It's not my sister's fault. I just can't help myself.
Rong Zhu: Heh.

At first, Rong Zhu tries to support him financially.
Lin Luo glares at her: Don't think you can humiliate me with money.
Rong Zhu: I get it. You've got the stubborn, fragile-white-flower script.
Later, Rong Zhu insults his handwriting and even tears up his book.
Lin Luo looks heartbroken: I know Sister has her reasons. I would never blame her.
Rong Zhu: ...So this is the pure-hearted white-lotus script?
Later still, a suitor appears by Rong Zhu's side.
Lin Luo looks pure and innocent: That older brother is so good at charming girls. He's always surrounded by them. Unlike me, I only have you, Sister. I want to be a little kinder to you, but I don't even have the right.
Rong Zhu: I'm familiar with this one! It's the green tea script!
Wait, how did a perfectly good male lead turn out like this?!
No, he hasn't gone astray. He's gone green tea, and he's only getting more and more insufferable...
----Coming Soon: The True Heiress's Childhood Friend
Rong Yin transmigrates into a book.
The little girl next door, Chu Chu, is the true daughter of a marquis's household. But for now, she's still stuck in a poor village, eating bran and chaff, feeding pigs and hauling manure. She has to wash and cook for her younger siblings, and gets beaten and berated every day.
As usual, whenever the protagonist falls on hard times, some disposable villain is there to kick her when she's down. Rong Yin is that villain, the one who makes things even harder for her.
She steals Chu Chu's firewood, hits her piglets, sneaks her fruit, and tears Lin Chu's clothes.
Rong Yin arrives in the story just in time to stop herself before tearing the heroine's dress apart with both hands. From then on, she turns over a new leaf and becomes a good person.
When Chu Chu lacks food and clothes, Rong Yin brings her supplies. When Chu Chu cannot read, Rong Yin teaches her poetry and books. When Chu Chu is in poor health, Rong Yin makes sure she exercises. To help Chu Chu face-slap the fake heiress and claim her rightful place in the future, Rong Yin even personally trains her in everything from clothes and jewelry to makeup and etiquette.
Looking at the heroine she has shaped with her own hands, now accomplished in both letters and arms and graceful in every way, Rong Yin is deeply pleased: I've given this my all. Surely I can hope for a happy ending now?
But how did sweet little Chu Jie turn into Brother Chu as she grew up?
Lin Chu covers her chest: If you'd moved your hands just a little more...
Rong Yin: I wouldn't dare. I wouldn't dare.
Lin Chu points at her face, then her clothes, then her bed: Is there anything you haven't laid your hands on?
You promised you'd take responsibility for me forever. Are you going to deny it now?
Theme: Treat others with kindness and stay true to yourself
Hahahaha, "Otherwise I would have flown back a long time ago", I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, but I really remembered Sister Lin's cute "Where are you from?" "Come from Sister Bao's house" "I said, luckily I stumbled there, otherwise I would have flown here long ago" (laughing and crying)
Finished reading! I was originally attracted by the copywriting. The original excitement of this setting lies in the tearing feeling of "I have to be a villain to complete the villain's mission in front of me, but behind the scenes I make amends with my conscience and cannot be discovered." Speaking of which, this is a very cruel point for the heroine, and because she is full of contradictions, conflicts will inevitably break out. This feeling was actually written at the beginning, but soon this contradiction was eliminated by the male protagonist's insight, which made the setting useless and the story suddenly lost its dramatic tension. Although some knots and misunderstandings were set up for both sides later, the damage value of the villain's system also continued. The reason for the damage was not that it was untenable, but always felt awkward and unsatisfactory. The rest of the story is very smooth overall, with no climax. Although it can be read as a sweet text after dinner, it lacks room for aftertaste, which is a bit regretful. Of course, the impression of the heroine is very distinct, and she has a personality that I like. The male protagonist is really quite open-minded and very receptive. It might be more interesting if his tea was a little more hidden. Anyway, come on, ma'am, and look forward to the next work.
Why are you willing to stay as soon as you come here??? He is obviously troubled by the fact that his ambition cannot be realized in this era, so how can he stay just because the male protagonist can bear it? Obviously, it would be impossible for things like this to give women away as gifts so easily in modern times!!
I'm really convinced, this woman
Ah, the character change between boy and adult is so well written. He is still the same person, but there are some completely different aspects.
Isn't the heroine the young lady who was thrown out of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion?
It is possible to get pregnant during ovulation, so everyone should take protective measures and not leave things to chance.
Sprinkle flowers, sprinkle flowers∠※
I can have sweet love!
In the end, Rong Zhu was the princess.
