The Heroine of the Redemption Novel Quits [The 1990s]

[Transmigrate into a Book / 1990s Period Novel]

"Your job is to become a ray of light in his life."

"I know, the light of justice, right?"

"You have to let him feel the warmth of the world."

"Sure. I can let him feel the warm iron fist of society."

Luan Wei, a good young woman of the modern age, transmigrates into a book, a period romance about redemption, and even gets a System.

In the original story, the male lead, Gu An, is brilliant, but family upheavals and an unhappy childhood ultimately set him on the path to crime, until he becomes an enemy of humanity.

The System says her mission is to redeem the highly intelligent criminal Gu An and set his values straight.

But after failing in two full rounds, Luan Wei flips the table.

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ She's done being the heroine of this redemption story!!

Seeing this, the System panics and tries to talk her around with earnest pleas.

Luan Wei: Heh.

*

Gu An knows he was born a burden. His mother, a dancer, had to give up her career because she was pregnant with him, only to abandon him later in pursuit of her dreams.

His father drinks all day and does nothing but beat and berate him.

He should have fallen step by step, just as everyone expected.

Until one day--

A girl from next door appears in his dreary, gray childhood, stubbornly and naively determined to become the person closest to him.

"You are loved," the girl tells him with a bright smile.

He sizes her up with an amused look, taking her kindness for a joke.

Until Luan Wei looks at him coldly, then walks briskly toward another man.

Jealousy spreads through his heart without restraint.

"You said I was loved," he murmurs, his eyes reddening.

Upright, by-the-book, no-nonsense heroine × antisocial, impossibly obnoxious male lead

[The male lead's evil deeds are from his previous life. He does nothing evil in this one~]

P.S. The male lead is obnoxious in every sense of the word.

An unconventional redemption story. A painful past is no excuse for becoming a villain.

Theme: A painful past is no excuse for becoming a villain.
