Is the Big Villain Really This Well-Behaved?

Synopsis:

Qin Guanruo wakes up to discover that she has transmigrated into a book about a matriarchal society, becoming a tool-like supporting character who lives to fawn over the male lead.

Her mother is the Marquis of Zhongyong.

Her father is the legitimate son of a Duke's family.

Her maternal uncle is the Imperial Noble Lord who reigns supreme in the imperial harem.

Naturally, the original owner grew up into a spoiled wastrel who cared only about eating, drinking, and having fun. Arrogant and overbearing, she fell in love with the capital's most beautiful person, the Seventh Prince.

In the end, she became a lovesick doormat for him. Even after the male and female leads married, she still devoted herself to fawning over him.

Qin Guanruo: "...What?"

All she wanted to say was: I'm out! *smiles*

Qin Guanruo knows that the Ninth Prince, Su Fanan, is the story's final big villain. He nearly kills all the princes and princesses, almost brings the Great Yun dynasty to ruin, and eventually dies by setting himself on fire.

She can't help taking a couple of extra looks at him.

The first time she meets him, she sees him being bullied and insulted by several palace attendants.

The second time she meets Su Fanan, he's been framed and punished, left kneeling in the freezing snow with his face blue and pale.

The third time she meets Su Fanan, he's been drugged. His expression is fierce, like a wounded little beast trying to look intimidating...

As someone with a normal moral compass, raised under the red flag, she can't help feeling compassion for him.

For the sake of a peaceful life in the years to come, she decides she needs to set this kid straight. She isn't asking him to become a great philanthropist, but at the very least, he shouldn't become a big villain.

Su Fanan smiles. "I'll do whatever Sister Ruo says."

Qin Guanruo: "..." Wait, is the big villain really this obedient?

The Ninth Prince of the current dynasty, Su Fanan, was doted on because of his father until he was seven. After that, he lived like a stray dog, fighting for scraps.

From the age of seven to sixteen, Su Fanan seemed to have been born into a dark, rotten swamp.

Then, on a bitterly cold winter's day, he met someone: the first person ever to reach out a hand to him.

To him, she was like a warm beam of light suddenly shining into a lightless abyss, something he couldn't help but crave.

He would get her at any cost, even if he had to resort to any means!

He schemes and struggles with all his might. Just when he thinks he's about to get what he wants, the person beside him opens her eyes again, and she's become a completely different person...

Five years later

When Qin Guanruo returns, the pitiful boy who once smiled at her so gently has become a man with overwhelming power, who holds the entire court in his hands. He even has a four-year-old son...

Qin Guanruo: "..."

And she has become one of his male companions...

Qin Guanruo: "???"

Su Fanan gazes into her eyes, gently caresses her face, and smiles warmly. "You've finally come back. I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

Qin Guanruo: "...?" Something doesn't seem quite right.

P.S.:

1. The leads are devoted to each other. This is a sweet, comforting redemption story, and the whole novel serves the romance.

2. The heroine will transmigrate back to the modern world midway through, then return again.

Theme: Stay true to your heart and persevere. With enough persistence, even metal and stone can be carved.
