Why Has the Aloof Beauty Gone Mad?

[Starting this one first to lighten the mood]

Tu Mingyue is forcibly bound to a Villainess System.

To return to her original world, she diligently plays the villainess, waiting for her cover to be blown so the cold, heartless male lead will call off their engagement and she can finally leave this wretched place.

*

Wei Zhuo knows his cousin is fickle and a compulsive liar. Though he agreed to marry her, he did so only because he has seen her cause trouble through sheer stupidity, harming herself and others, and knows she'll sooner or later bring disaster and disgrace on the family.

Who could have guessed that as soon as the engagement was settled, her birth father, a powerful man of high rank, would come looking for her and take her home?

On how to maintain her villainess persona, the System gives its blunt assessment: "You're already pretty irritating. Just keep doing what you're doing."

Tu Mingyue chokes.

...You really know how to hurt someone.
