Synopsis
After being the star employee of the Cannon Fodder Department, she transferred to a new post and ended up at the bottom of the performance rankings.
Was the workload in the Villainess Group simply too much,
or was its supervisor too scary?
The truth behind it was outrageous...
As rumors outside grew more and more ridiculous,
fewer and fewer people chose to join the Villainess Group.
The Director was so worried that twice as much hair fell out.
To reassure Jiang Juan,
the two struck a deal.
As long as Jiang Juan completed one transmigration-into-a-book mission,
she could retire.
"Second Senior Brother, stop sleeping. Master said that if you still can't learn the first form of the mental cultivation method today, he'll put you under house arrest."
"Sure. How many days this time? Remember to bring me candied hawthorns from down the mountain, from that same shop. Don't buy them anywhere else. You're the best, Junior Brother. Let me sleep a little longer."
Jiang Juan didn't mind. Her mission wasn't to cultivate into the greatest person in the world. She just had to interfere with the male and female leads and play a proper villainess (or villain).
Jiang Juan's sect
has nearly assembled the whole protagonist team.
The male lead, the eldest senior brother, was born with a sword bone and had peerless talent. While out on a mission, he fell off a cliff and was corrupted by demonic energy. His cultivation was obstructed and his progress stalled, so he had to entrust the hope of bringing glory to the sect to Jiang Juan, the second senior brother. He supervised Jiang Juan's training every day, while she did everything she could to escape. He chased, she fled, and neither could get away (not really).
In Jiang Juan's words, the eldest senior brother was obviously following the script of a male lead from a power-fantasy novel. But she never expected that even after losing most of his cultivation, he would still be stronger than her.
The third junior sister had a single ice spiritual root. She was quiet and severely socially anxious, and her way of communicating with people was to fight them... Jiang Juan thought, We don't have to communicate.
The fourth junior brother liked raising all kinds of strange creatures. He was the sect leader's own grandson, and Jiang Juan couldn't understand why he'd chosen her unreliable master, who she saw maybe once a year, as his teacher. Still, the little junior brother was a good kid. He obediently bought her snacks, and Jiang Juan was happy to spend time with him, if she hadn't accidentally found the poison he carried on him.
As for the female lead... Jiang Juan also wanted to know why she hadn't shown up yet.
Just when Jiang Juan was ready to lie flat,
the System, which had been silent for ages, assigned her a mission.
Find the female lead and frame her so that she would hate you.
That sounded fine, except why was the dialogue so embarrassing?
"You're only allowed to look at me. Are you looking at someone else to get my attention?"
"You wicked woman, you're so annoying. That drugged wine was obviously your doing. What, have you got your eye on me?"
Jiang Juan went from being embarrassed to becoming more and more numb.
She could already imagine how badly things would go when the female lead grew up and she was still making such self-important remarks.
As the female lead, she was destined to suffer every kind of hardship in the novel.
She had no friends, and people would inexplicably become jealous of her.
Even her family would distance themselves because of her constitution.
She had already gotten used to living alone.
She told herself it was all right.
Then, one day,
a warm-hearted person entered her life.
Even if he said the strangest things,
when she was in danger,
he was the one who stood up for her.
A self-proclaimed villainess VS a junior brother who is the only one devoted to his second senior brother
