I'm the Villain, But Everyone Dotes on Me

Jiang Tian, the adored little princess of the ancient Jiang Kingdom, transmigrates into a dogblood entertainment-industry novel. System: The male lead, the male supporting character, and the male antagonist in this book are your three half-brothers. They all... Jiang Tian, excited: They all love me so much, right? System: ...They hate you to the utmost. Jiang Tian: ? As it turns out, she's the book's great villain. Using her status in the entertainment industry, she mercilessly suppresses her three brothers with schemes that are nasty, stupid, and utterly shameless. Only after she manages to get herself killed do her brothers finally see their careers take off. They become a popular top-tier star, a three-time Golden Award-winning Best Actor, and a variety-show sensation, then all fall in love with the same woman and fight each other in a bloody battle to the death. System: Host, as long as you complete your missions, I can guarantee you'll enjoy a carefree life for the rest of your days. Jiang Tian clenches her fist: All I have to do is suppress people? Easy. I'm great at that! - After memorizing the System's Guide to Becoming a Villain in Record Time and Three Sentences to Make Anyone Furious, Jiang Tian confidently prepares to get started. But things go completely off the rails. At a talent competition, Jiang Tian is a judge facing the aloof and proud eldest brother, the male lead. System: [Host, you need to attack his singing and dancing skills and destroy his future.] Jiang Tian purses her lips. "You're terrible at both singing and dancing. Without your face, you'd have nothing going for you!" Her eldest brother seems composed, but inside his heart flutters: So my little sister thinks I'm handsome too! Jiang Tian: ? On a movie set, Jiang Tian is the female lead, facing her gentle, handsome second brother, the male supporting character. System: [Host, you need to mock his acting harshly and shatter his confidence.] Jiang Tian sneers. "With acting like yours, you'll have to work at least ten more years before you can win Best Actor, won't you?" Her second brother's expression doesn't change, but his hands clench tightly: My little sister thinks I can win Best Actor someday. She believes in me! Jiang Tian: ?? On a survival variety show, Jiang Tian is a special guest, facing her thick-skinned, scheming third brother, the male antagonist. System: [Host, you need to arrogantly steal his food and mock him as nothing but a dog your family keeps.] Jiang Tian is busy grabbing food and forgets her lines halfway through. "Hmph, you're nothing but a... a husky my family keeps!" Her third brother smiles and gives her even more delicious food. "I understand. The dog you like best is a husky." Jiang Tian: ??? What is wrong with you people?! Could you take this seriously for once? - Fang Qingrou, the female lead who has awakened to the plot, has been quietly waiting for the day Jiang Tian gets herself killed. Then she can use Jiang Tian's name to take all the resources that were originally hers, and win over the men, who will by then have become influential power players in the entertainment industry, with her gentle, considerate, and generous nature. But she waits and waits, and Jiang Tian doesn't die. Instead, she grows more and more popular, rising from top star to an even bigger star, while her once-terrible reputation keeps improving. What's even more horrifying is that at an awards ceremony, the three men, who should hate Jiang Tian, start fighting right there over who gets to hold up the hem of her dress! Eldest brother: I'm the most handsome in my sister's eyes. You're all trash! Second brother: My sister said I could win Best Actor when I was still a minor supporting actor. Have any of you ever gotten that kind of treatment? Third brother: My sister's family can only keep one husky. All you other stupid dogs, get lost. They argue so loudly that they barely even glance at Fang Qingrou. Fang Qingrou: ? This makes no sense! Theme: Affection must be earned with genuine sincerity
