I Faked My Death After Winning Over the Villainous Princess

[Look closely at this Ningning: she’s frantically typing away and updating!] Lu Youtang transmigrated into a book one day and became a cannon-fodder Grand Tutor in a novel. The System told her: Your mission is to save the pitiful protagonist. If you fail, the world will be destroyed. Lu Youtang opened the book and saw that the protagonist was tormented both physically and emotionally along the way, then was driven to disappear without a trace by the story’s greatest villain. So, to save the protagonist, Lu Youtang decided to raise the villain well, awaken the goodness in her heart, and prevent her from fighting the protagonist in a world-shattering battle The villain fell ill with a cold. Lu Youtang said, “Don’t worry. I’ll stay by your side.” Pei Yingqiu thought, “She stayed up day and night to care for me. So I really am this important to her.” The villain was attacked by an assassin. Lu Youtang said, “It’s a good thing I was the one who got hurt today. If it had been you, my life would have been meaningless.” Pei Yingqiu thought, “She really does love me so much. She’d even entrust her life to me.” The villain was framed by someone else. Lu Youtang said, “I won’t listen to anyone else’s slander. I’ll always believe only you.” Pei Yingqiu thought, “I suppose this is what it looks like to love someone.” But just as Lu Youtang thought she had succeeded, the villain still headed step by step toward a dark and bloody end. * At last, the mission was complete, and Lu Youtang was forced to fake her death and disappear. Years later, they met again. Lu Youtang was cornered by the villain she had raised herself. The villain parted her vermilion lips, her voice carrying a faint chill. “Why is the Grand Tutor so afraid of me?” Lu Youtang heard her and asked, “...You know everything?” “How could I not?!” The villain seemed to have been struck in a tender spot. She leaned forward and gripped Lu Youtang’s pale wrist tightly, her voice trembling. “So all these years, the Grand Tutor loved someone else. Your concern for me, your keeping me in your thoughts, it was all a ridiculous deception!” Her wrist bone felt ready to snap. Lu Youtang’s voice came out: “It hurts...” Seeing her like this, the villain’s lashes trembled as she tried to regain her composure. “Teacher, I won’t be fooled again.” Lu Youtang sounded even more fragile. “It really hurts...” A trace of concern flashed in the villain’s eyes. Her face deathly pale, she seemed to ponder for a long time before finally forcing a bitter smile. “Teacher, how long will it take... before you fall in love with me?” Lu Youtang rubbed her wrist and looked up in shock. “???” Wait, have you gotten addicted to being a stand-in or something?! * A few things to know before reading: 1. This is a one-on-one romance with a happy ending. The stand-in plot is a misunderstanding. 2. This is my take on political scheming: a mountain of invented details, tons of plot holes, and logic that’s shit. 3. But I’ll make it intensely addictive and melodramatic (. 4.
