I Raise the Villain in My Dreams

Yu Nian transmigrated into a book as the villainess. In the original story, she had repeatedly picked fights with the antagonist for the sake of the male lead, and met a miserable end.

Yu Nian wanted to stay away from the antagonist, but was told she had to follow the original plot.

With no other choice, she had to trip up the antagonist. One moment she was rudely accusing him of stealing the male lead's resources; the next, in a dream, she was confiding in a little dumpling.

The little dumpling was three years old, with fair skin and big eyes. He kept appearing in Yu Nian's dreams, often with a bruised and swollen face.

Though she didn't know him, he looked so pitiful that she protected him in her dreams, soothed him to sleep, and teased him into calling her Big Sis.

The little dumpling often kept a straight face, and whenever he listened to her complain, he would give her a gloomy look.

She raised him from age three to five, then to sixteen, and was startled to discover that the kid was growing up to look more and more like the antagonist, Ji Huaijing.

Ji Huaijing had never imagined he could miss a woman so much. She appeared in his dreams and healed his childhood.

He couldn't make out the woman's face, until one day he saw Yu Nian, who was always at odds with him, pinching a child's cheek, humming a song from his dreams, and holding out candy as she said, "Be good and call me Big Sis."

...She was exactly like the woman in his dreams.

Not long afterward, Ji Huaijing cornered Yu Nian. He loosened his tie, leaned down, and murmured in her ear, "Dear Big Sis, where's my candy?"
