An Yue transmigrates into a book, where she is the arrogant, ill-tempered youngest daughter of the prime minister.
The System gives her a mission: stop the villain from rebelling and slaughtering people. She can go home once she completes it.
At this point, the villain is still a frail, seemingly harmless slave.
She pities him and wants to treat him well, raising him into a virtuous, kind, handsome, and well-rounded young man.
But the villain grabs her by the throat and glares at her darkly, asking what she’s after.
An Yue: To hell with this. I quit.
Yan Jing discovers that he’s sick. When he makes An Yue angry, he can hear what she’s thinking. Just like right now.
He tries the same thing to hear what other people are thinking, but gets nothing.
He says, "You wicked woman."
*
An Yue quits. There’s probably no turning this little psycho back to normal.
There’s another way to stop the world from falling apart: get him together with the beloved heroine, whom everyone in the book adores.
With the beloved heroine to comfort him, Yan Jing doesn’t rebel and even learns to smile normally.
An Yue lies around like a lazy fish, waiting to go home. She ignores all of Yan Jing’s passive-aggressive remarks and taunts.
One rainy night, the System’s urgent call wakes her. The System says her mission has failed.
As she stares in confusion, the door is kicked open. Yan Jing walks in step by step, holding a bloodied knife.
His dark, gloomy eyes stare right at her. Smiling, he says, "You’re not going home."
Don’t even think about leaving me behind.
