I'm Clearly the Villain, Yet I'm Forced to Be the Protagonist

A heroine with an absurdly overpowered golden finger who can do anything under heaven, paired with a hero who is the wise, friendly mentor living in her ring

Xu Ming is the standard villain from a Jinjiang novel. She wields an evil sword and, when she kills, she wipes out entire families. She can do anything under heaven, and pursues her enemies from one end of the country to the other, even overseas. Her mentors and friends have no idea about the bloodshed she's caused. They all think she's a sweet disciple and dear friend, never suspecting that beneath her righteous exterior lies a heart as wicked as a snake's. They help her rise all the way to the top.

Xu Ming is the standard protagonist from a Qidian novel. Other people have an old master with peerless skills living in their ring, while her right hand holds a handsome, charming man. Starting out as an ordinary person with no spiritual power, she gets an endless stream of power-ups, slaps her enemies in the face, and has unbelievable luck. Wherever she goes, she finds treasures, and anyone who opposes her either goes mad or dies a violent death.

[Villain Script]

Passerby: "Xu Ming, have you gone mad? How could you... They're your own flesh and blood!"

"Oh?" Xu Ming casually wiped the blood from her sword and gave a smile steeped in bloodlust. "Not only did I kill them, I'm going to kill you all, too."

"Not one of you will survive."

Everyone, horrified: What are you waiting for? Run! Xu Ming's gone on a killing spree!

[Protagonist Script]

Passerby: "Hah, she's just an ordinary person who has only just started her training. What makes her worthy of the sect leader's favor?"

One day later

Passerby, scoffing: "What? Xu Ming is at the top of the Baiqing Rankings? She actually beat Ban Shushu, who's held the top spot for years?"

Everyone, stunned: "As expected, her depths are unfathomable!"

Theme: They laugh at me for being mad, while I laugh at them for not seeing through the truth.
