I Got a Happy Ending with the Villain (Quick Transmigration)

Blurb:

A max-level female lead VS an obsessive, deranged male lead

As her soul drifted, Jiu Huang was told she had been chosen by the Creator as a lucky one. As long as she completed a number of tasks in each world, she would receive a rebirth gift package.

Her: Heh.

1. The abandoned concubine who falls to her knees at first appearance VS the tyrant who can read minds

After being reborn, the tyrant suddenly gains the ability to hear other people's thoughts. He discovers that while his consort says, "You are the one I love most. Even if the seas dry up and the stones crumble, my love will never change," she is thinking, "Why don't you let me have a go at being emperor? Hee hee."

Him: ...

2. An unknown actress VS a famous star in the same industry

An entertainment reporter releases a set of photos. A famous star is having a meal with the latest scourge of the entertainment industry, and the two seem very close.

Fans go wild, denying everything and searching for proof the photos are fake. Before they find any evidence, the star confirms the relationship himself from afar.

The star: She's my wife, @Huang.

Her: Hah. What a schemer.

3. A puppet empress VS a hostage prince who seems gentle but is actually obsessive

The Grand Preceptor, who held all the power, dies horribly in his residence. The neutral faction at court assumes the empress is reclaiming imperial authority and hastens to submit to her.

The empress: Believe me, I just want to be a puppet who eats, drinks, and enjoys herself.

Everyone: Yeah, right. As if we'd believe you.

Behind the crowd, the hostage prince stands with a faint smile, keeping his role in it all a secret.

He will clear away every obstacle, step by step, until she has eyes for him alone. Until then, if anyone dares to look at her for too long or harbor the slightest affection for her, he won't mind sending them to meet their ancestors.

4. A dramatic mermaid VS a cold, deranged big shot

A human head and a fish's tail, beautiful and skilled at singing, weaving water into gauze and shedding pearls as tears: such is a mermaid.

Him: I don't care what she is. Once she's on my ship, she's mine. Anyone who tries to steal her dies.

Her: ...But all you want is to turn me into a specimen.

5. A peerlessly beautiful woman VS a powerful eunuch

6. A good-for-nothing disciple of the Daoist sect VS a thousand-year-old zombie

7. A cannon-fodder junior disciple of a sect VS an immortal with a dual personality

Watching the villains start out one more normal than the next and become one more obsessive than the next as the story goes on, Jiu Huang keeps a serious expression while endlessly snarking to herself.

Don't mistake her for a sick cat just because the tiger isn't showing its claws. Push her too far and she'll beat you up, badly.

Meanwhile, the System is completely stunned as its Host turns the mission to suppress the villains into a mission to win them over.

It has had countless Hosts, and countless have fallen before reaching the end. But this one is the most impressive of all: she collects every villain.

[Reader's Guide]

1. The female lead is invincible. If she seems weak, she's just playing the pig to eat the tiger. The male lead is strong, but she's even stronger.

2. The male leads are all the same person. It's probably a story about a big shot who overcomes his obsession.

3. The male lead starts out obsessed with his career, then becomes a love-struck, deranged obsessive.

This novel is also known as Everyone Gets Cheated On Except the Female Lead.

Zhaozhao is timid and shy, and has social anxiety.

One day, she transmigrates into a book and becomes a former dynasty princess walking on thin ice in a political intrigue novel. The new dynasty has just been established, and the various factions are locked in a fierce struggle. She's the hapless pawn they keep dragging into their schemes. But every faction leader has a little secret: each of them wears a cuckold's hat.

Zhaozhao wants to uphold the fine tradition that silence is golden, but she gets bound to a System that says, "If you don't argue with people, you'll die."

At the first palace banquet after the new emperor's ascension, a former dynasty official asks, "What does the princess think of His Majesty's policies for governing the country?"

Zhaozhao's mouth moves completely against her will. "I don't have much to say about His Majesty's policies. But I know a thing or two about Minister Shangshu's household. You've been raising someone else's son for over twenty years. How do you feel about that, sir?"

The former dynasty official: ?!?!

The great general has amassed power and troops for himself, and even publicly asks for the former dynasty princess's hand in marriage. Zhaozhao, who has gone so long without arguing with anyone that she's nearly fainted from weakness, is carried in before him. She says feebly, "General, you have a hidden condition and will never have an heir. Do you really want to ruin a young girl's life for nothing?"

The great general, who has only just learned that his beloved concubine is pregnant: ?!!

The new emperor, Yan Heng, was once the heir of a prince's residence where father and son shared the same title. After coming of age, he gained the special ability to hear other people's thoughts.

When he learned that the former emperor planned to kill him after using him, he acted first, forced the former emperor from power, and established a new dynasty.

He values talented people, but the former dynasty officials repeatedly make things difficult for him, until one day he hears Zhaozhao sighing to herself.

[Who should I argue with today to save my life? Minister Shangshu, who's been wearing a cuckold's hat for over twenty years? Or the retired emperor, who secretly supports his illegitimate son and his mistress?]

Yan Heng: [?!]

Zhaozhao argues with people when she has to, then hides away at home when she can. One day, the new emperor summons her. Just as she's feeling nervous, she sees the emperor, who once stormed the palace gates covered in blood, smiling kindly and having the attendants serve her tea.

Zhaozhao's contrarian instincts kick in. "Your Majesty, if you want me to expose those officials' secrets, just say so. You don't have to smile while hiding a knife."

Yan Heng, whose thoughts have been read aloud: ?

Then he hears her think, [I'm doomed, I'm doomed. I've actually offended the emperor. But he wants to use me. Should I throw this tea in his face, get it out of my system, and then die?]

Yan Heng, who had just started to feel relieved before suffering another mental cramp: [...]

Much later, Zhaozhao has transformed from a socially anxious person into a contrarian whose sharp tongue makes everyone fear her. Still, she can't understand how Yan Heng fell for her and insists on marrying no one but her.

Maybe he's got a peculiar thing for people who argue with him.
