The Black-Hearted Villainess Is Everyone's Darling

[My new novel, After I Took My Rival by Force, is now out! Please add it to your collection!]

Kou Duanyun transmigrates into a melodramatic, tragic romance novel with a bad ending, becoming the vicious best friend of the heroine, the male lead's white moonlight.

According to the System, she should maintain her villainous persona, rack up villain points, interfere in the leads' relationship, and keep helping to frame the heroine until she races headlong toward her own doom.

Kou Duanyun: Give me a break!

She has a sudden inspiration. The System never said she couldn't break the couple up and then get them back together, did it? It never said she couldn't save the heroine after framing her, did it? And it never said she couldn't cling to a powerful person's leg when danger struck, did it?

She decides to spend a hundred years exploiting loopholes in the System.

Later...

The cultivation world's greatest artifact refiner: "I can craft magical treasures, and my family has the finest treasures in the whole cultivation world. Duanyun, they're all yours."

The cultivation world's greatest formation master: "If anyone dares make my senior sister frown, I'll grab an iron and press them to death!"

The cultivation world's greatest swordsman silently carries betrothal gifts to Kou Duanyun's sect, carrying them for three days and three nights.

The biggest big shot in the cultivation world, an all-round ACE, watches for a while, says nothing, picks up Kou Duanyun, and runs.

Everyone comes to their senses and gives chase, but the big shot's cultivation is so powerful that no one can catch up.

Everyone: Fine, let's go home and cultivate. In thirty years, we'll be heroes again!

All in all, this is a sweet little story about a max-level big shot taking a rookie on a monster-slaying, level-grinding, treasure-hunting adventure.

------After I Took My Rival by Force------

1.

Jin Jingheng catches the eye of Xiao Li, the only daughter of the richest man in the capital. He is about to become her eighteenth male companion, with a monthly allowance of five thousand taels of gold.

But Jin Jingheng knows that within six months, he will become emperor and purge the Xiao family.

Jin Jingheng raises his eyes and glances at Xiao Li, his tone icy. "Thank you for your kind offer, Miss, but my heart belongs to someone else. She's the moon in the sky, while you're mud by the river. You want me as your male companion? Dream on."

He avoids Xiao Li while searching for his white moonlight. That young woman once saved him when he was badly injured and blind. Now he wants to repay her properly.

One day, he notices a garment belonging to Xiao Li with the same pattern as the cloth his white moonlight had used to wrap his wounds.

2.

Xiao Li is the best businesswoman in the Great Song dynasty.

The more money she makes, the more wary the royal family becomes. To protect her family's fortune, she pretends to be obsessed with handsome men and uninterested in anything else.

Not long afterward, the new emperor ascends the throne. He not only supports the Xiao family's businesses at every turn, but also helps them eliminate several powerful rivals.

She thinks the two sides might be able to make peace, so she decides to mend her ways and become a better person.

She dismisses her seventeen male companions. Then companion number eighteen comes to her door.

A group of attendants before the throne watch their emperor knock on the Xiao family's gate. The gate opens a crack, and the emperor says, "Miss, actually, I..."

Bang!

Xiao Li shuts the door. Don't come near me with that embarrassing past.
