The Villainess Is Content to Retire

After enduring countless hardships, Ying'er finally died, only to transmigrate into a brainless cannon-fodder female supporting character in a male power-fantasy novel she'd read.

Her mission here was to fawn over the male lead in every possible way and torment the ultimate villain until he turned evil. She had to complete the mission to return to her original world.

But Ying'er looked at her identity in the book: the beloved daughter of an immensely wealthy merchant family that controlled the economic lifeline of Jiangnan's CBD!

Looking at those mountains of gold and silver, her knees went weak. She didn't want to go back.

·

So when the arrogant male lead waited for her to throw herself at him and pay his tuition, she pointed him toward the road down the mountain and told him to earn his own living.

The original heroine couldn't stand the supporting character slacking off, so she took over the "villainous" role herself.

When the five-year-old ultimate villain lay beneath Ying'er, covered in blood, she suddenly realized he looked just like the orphan she'd adopted in her previous world!

"Baby! Mommy will never let anyone bully you again!"

The five-year-old ultimate villain, his face smeared with blood, looked up at the little girl beside him, who was only a little older and still had a childish face. She kept calling him "baby" as she braided his hair all over. He was so furious he wanted to kill someone!

Later, the plot of this world spun out of control, and the ultimate villain took the male lead's place.

The female supporting character, who was supposed to die a gruesome death, somehow stole the heroine's good fortune and was forcibly made empress by the ultimate villain, now emperor.

Wearing the phoenix crown, surrounded by a crowd, she climbed the white marble steps and stood side by side with the ultimate villain. Ying'er was still dazed.

I mean... I really only thought of him as my kid!

Here are some upcoming stories. If you like them, please add them to your favorites

Upcoming Story One: The Regent's Sweet Little Bride

During a year of famine, Luo Yitang, with her tiny face and big eyes from hunger, was driven down the mountain by the nuns of the Yunxian Temple.

Her master sold her to a nobleman down the mountain who was afflicted by a terrible curse, making her his little bride to help him overcome his misfortune.

To stay alive and fill her stomach, Luo Yitang clung tightly to the leg of that cold-faced demon, the young regent Feng Jianqing.

The handsome, cold-hearted young man looked down at the little girl whose sticky candy had smeared syrup all over his shoes, his eyes full of disdain.

Later, as the girl gradually grew up, she not only stayed by his side eating candy, but boldly climbed into his lap to eat it.

Feng Jianqing would rather endure agony than let her come any closer, and kept tactfully insisting that he only saw Luo Yitang as a younger sister.

Heartbroken, Luo Yitang never imagined that after all those years together, she still couldn't melt his heart of ice.

But once her heartbreak passed, she happily packed her things and went to the new place her master had arranged for her: to marry a handsome scholar.

When the regent returned victorious, he discovered his girl was gone. In such a panic that he didn't even remove his armor, he led his troops to surround the scholar's home in the middle of the night.

Luo Yitang emerged from the house with graceful poise. Seeing the tall, dignified man on horseback, she called out to keep her distance: "B-brother..."

Only then did Feng Jianqing realize how painful it was to have someone else take the girl he'd raised with such care. Better to keep her for himself than let someone else have her.

His brows drew together, murderous intent in his eyes. He pointed his sword at the scholar's throat and said coldly, "You want to marry her? Then step over my corpse first!"

Little Scene One

Luo Yitang was dragged back to the regent's residence. Furious, she pounded the table and shouted, "Candy! Give me candy!"

The regent secretly gestured to the maid behind him, who respectfully brought over osmanthus candy with half the usual sugar.

Watching the girl angrily grab one handful after another, the regent's brow twitched. At last, he couldn't take it anymore and caught her delicate wrist, restraining himself as he said, "That's enough. Be good. Little girls shouldn't eat so much candy."

"I'm not a little girl anymore!" She glared at him. To stop him from taking her candy again, she deftly stuffed it into her waist and neckline, then shot him a sidelong look with her bright almond eyes. "Go ahead and try to take it."

The regent: "…"

Little Scene Two

On her wedding night, Luo Yitang was finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. She figured that once this night was over, she'd have completed the task her master had given her and could finally return to the mountain to shave her head and fulfill her childhood dream.

But she never expected that the cool man gently holding her beside him was a beast. He'd let her get close, but would he let her leave? Heh...

Upcoming Story Two: The Overly Possessive Older Brother's Devotion

In her previous life, Xie Er's true identity was exposed. The phoenix became a barnyard chicken, and the once highborn county lady was demoted to a commoner.

Fortunately, she still found a husband she loved and who loved her in return. He cared about love, not status.

But on the way to their wedding, her half-brother Xie Jinxing, a eunuch who had risen to immense power and whom she'd once bullied terribly, seized her and took her to the palace to be his companion.

Xie Jinxing loosened his hair, opened his collar, and leaned against the jade couch. With his black hair and red lips, he was so beautiful he looked almost demonic. He beckoned her with a cold smile. "Come here."

Xie Er was forced to serve him tea and grind ink every day. Sometimes, he'd grip her slender waist and lean close to her ear, asking coldly, "Didn't you always say you hated scheming eunuchs like me? How does it feel to stay by a eunuch's side as his companion?"

Later, Xie Er died of depression. After becoming a lonely ghost, she witnessed with her own eyes how her beloved betrayed her and shamelessly begged her half-brother to secure him an official post. In the end, her half-brother laid her body in a beautiful glass coffin, polished it day and night, and set it beside his bed. He spoke to her affectionately, just as he had when they were children, and avenged her.

Reborn once more, she returned to the year she was six. Her mother again placed a whip in her hand, forcing her to be cold toward Xie Jinxing and to bully and beat him.

This time, Xie Er refused, no matter what.

The little girl's bright eyes filled with tears. She pulled Xie Jinxing, whose eyes were swollen from beatings, to his feet and placed the whip in his hands.

"Brother, I'm sorry. If you're angry, you can hit me... once."

After speaking, Xie Er trembled all over with fear. She clenched her little fists and squeezed her eyes shut.

Xie Jinxing was badly injured and could barely stand. He struggled to his feet, then gently... imitating the way she kissed flower petals, kissed the top of her head once.

Later, Xie Er grew up cherished and doted on by her older brother. She thought that with his protection, she could finally find a decent husband.

Who knew that on her wedding day, the powerful Grand Secretary Xie Jinxing, who held the power of life and death, would once again hijack her bridal sedan and take it back to the Chief Minister's residence.

Upcoming Story Three: The Princess and Her Eunuch Husband

The eleventh princess, Zhou Xinyue, and Zhao Langci, the powerful and wicked eunuch who ruled the court, shared an irreconcilable grudge.

But to escape the fate of being sent away in a political marriage, she had no choice but to become his companion.

Zhou Xinyue knew the wicked eunuch Zhao Langci hated being touched by women, so he desperately needed a companion as cover.

Once she had coaxed Zhao Langci into driving the Dirog people back to their homeland so they would never dare invade again,

she rubbed her hands together. A gentleman can wait ten years to take revenge. It was time to get hers!

So when she handed him a hot towel to wash his hands, she secretly slipped her little hand into his brocade sleeve.

When she combed his hair, she deliberately brushed the nape of his neck and the edge of his ear.

When she brought him water, she hid a smile behind her sleeve and deliberately stumbled into his arms.

She writhed, showing off her graceful waist beneath her damp clothes, shamelessly throwing seductive looks his way, all while sneering inwardly:

You eunuch scoundrel, shocked? Just wait, I'll disgust you to death!

Who could have guessed that the powerful eunuch, who usually wanted to cut off his entire hand if a woman so much as touched his finger,

would tightly grip her waist in front of everyone and carry her back to his room?

His breathtakingly handsome, almost demonic face fixed on her like a predator watching prey. He smiled and said, "Since Your Highness asked for it, how could I refuse?"

·

A few months later, the unlucky little princess had a new problem.

She rubbed her belly and sighed. "Should I report him or not?"

A sudden gust of wind rose behind her. She shivered as a chief eunuch's brocade robe was draped over her shoulders.

"Report him, of course..."

He casually tied her sash. "If Your Highness doesn't report him, you'll start showing in another month, and people will definitely point fingers and gossip."

The little princess looked up at his half-smiling face and trembled.
