After Becoming Soft and Sweet, She Became a Villain Through Her Good Taste

Preorder: Snow-Skinned Beauty of the Seventies

Ji Jianglei transmigrates into a book and discovers that her family is a nest of cannon fodder, and she herself is the number one villainess.

Her father and eldest brother work together to bankrupt the male lead's family. She is vicious and arrogant, causes the female lead's death, and personally snuffs out the male lead Gu Duo's chance at love for the rest of his life.

Ji Jianglei: I'm going to turn over a new leaf.

System: Try it and die.

At the same time, the scar on her forehead disappears, her temperament softens, her voice turns sweet and coquettish, and she isn't as strong as she used to be.

The female lead's younger brother stands up for her. System: [Attack!]

Ji Jianglei: She swats a mosquito off the boy.

The male lead happens to be there and sees everything.

She gets into an argument with the female lead. System: [Push her down the stairs.]

Ji Jianglei: She gives the female lead a shove. The girl only wobbles before steadying herself, while Ji Jianglei twists her ankle.

The male lead covers his forehead.

Face-to-face with the male lead. System: [Say your line. Make it vicious!]

Ji Jianglei: Gu Duo, just you wait. I'll make you get down on your knees and beg me.

Gu Duo: ...

Looks like maintaining her character through brute force isn't going to work.

System: I was holding my breath for you. Want to try again?

At an art gallery, Ji Jianglei says, "Nice composition, and the lighting is decent, but the subject is awful."

The artist flees in shame.

At a warehouse, Ji Jianglei points at a piece of scrap paper. "I'll take this."

When she turns around, the scrap paper sells for a fortune at auction.

System: More, more!

After the female lead finishes singing, Ji Jianglei says, "It's a good song, but you haven't conveyed its message or values."

The female lead covers her face and cries.

At an art exhibition, Ji Jianglei takes a fancy to a child's painting of colorful ink splotches.

Everyone laughs at her, taking her for an idiot.

Only Gu Duo looks at her, his gaze deep and unreadable.

On the day she finishes playing the villainess and exits the story, she puts on a tragic white dress and lies dramatically on the ground, waiting for the male lead to say, "I will personally send you to hell," before strangling her to death.

But Gu Duo's hand brushes her neck and grips her chin, forcing her to look up. His cold eyes narrow. "I am hell. You are not leaving."

Ji Jianglei: ??

Gu Duo: Hah, women.

When she was bidding on his paintings, she called him "baby" every other word.

Now she calls him "Mr. Gu" at every turn.

Gu Duo is stunningly beautiful, yet known as the Grim Reaper of the business world.

Everyone says he hates the Ji family most of all, especially their eldest daughter.

That is, until Ji Jianglei comes down with a fever during the ribbon-cutting for his new company. He bends down, scoops her into his arms, and carries her to the hospital. The story makes the headlines for three days.

For all his life, Gu Duo's world has been pitch-black, filled with nothing but revenge and expanding his business empire. Then Ji Jianglei bursts into it, flickering like a faint firefly.

Later, she shines like a star.

Ji Jianglei has some adorable quirks. She loves acting, but she's terrible at it, and she even likes to set him up with other people.

He hints and states his feelings outright, but she remains completely oblivious.

All he can do is play along with her, then pull her into his arms, because he needs light there.
