System: "You are a villain, with the face of an immortal and the heart of a viper. As the male protagonist's master, you must become the person he hates most in his life. Temper him, suppress him, and make him a worthy Child of Heaven's Way."
Su Luo: "Sure."
So Su Luo followed the plot. She met the seven-year-old male protagonist, thin as a rake and newly saved from the brink of death, pretended to be kind by patting his head, and took him in as her disciple.
She looked on coldly as the disciples under her command bullied him. Just because the male protagonist brushed against her clothes, she made him kneel for three days and three nights in the falling snow.
Then, at the last moment, when her life was in danger, she cruelly used the male protagonist to take a blade for her. Without changing her expression, she watched his body gradually stiffen, then kicked him off a cliff like a piece of garbage.
To get home, she has no conscience.
Just as the male protagonist was about to hack her into a thousand pieces, and she was about to complete her mission and go home, the damn System suddenly announced:
"Ding! Mission changed. Please win over the male protagonist and raise his favorability to 100."
"Side mission: Maintain your villainous persona. If the male protagonist thinks the Host intends to treat him well, you will be punished with electric shocks!"
*
Ye Chen despises himself every day for being such a sucker. After all, that wicked woman is so wicked it's astonishing, and he has sworn more than once to hack her into a thousand pieces.
He knows perfectly well that she is only trying to win him over because she values his strength and wants to use him.
He knows perfectly well that the woman is an ungrateful wretch.
But every time that woman tries to charm him, he simply can't bring himself to strike. When he looks at her, all he can do is sigh helplessly, with an unutterable feeling of... longing for what he cannot have.
[Content warning: The heroine is genuinely wicked. This is probably a story about a trashy woman and a pathetic man.]
Theme: What goes around comes around.
