Yu Zhi woke up to discover she'd been transported into a book and bound to a System. She had become a romance-brained villainess whose role was to fall in love with the male lead at first sight from the start and force him to be hers.
Yu Zhi: So later, the male lead will use me for all kinds of resources, betray me, and I'll be framed by my love rivals, then go blind and lose my memory?
System: Complete the storyline and you can come back to life.
Yu Zhi's eyes lit up. "I'm in!"
System: The male lead, seriously injured, has been detected ahead. Host, please treat him promptly and force him to be yours.
After completing a mission, Yu Zhi stepped off the spaceship and looked at the male lead, whose beauty was beyond compare.
Pale-faced, she lifted the boy's chin with her slender fingers and smiled, her eyes narrowing. "Want to live?"
"Then sign a master-servant contract with me."
System: Is that what you call forcing him to be yours?
Yu Zhi was the Empire's beloved little princess, with double-S mental strength. Her only flaw was her frail health.
Then people across the Empire heard that their little princess had taken an unknown boy and put him on a pedestal.
The whole Empire erupted.
To outsiders, Yu Zhi was utterly infatuated with the boy she had forced to stay with her. She would fly into a rage and cough up blood when he tried to escape, yet be delighted when he gave her a wildflower he'd casually picked by the roadside.
Gradually, the boy began to smile at her and blush around her.
But Yu Zhi was perfectly clear-headed. Once, she accidentally heard the boy gently tell someone else, "She's just a stepping stone for me."
She was quite satisfied, right up until her part in the story neared its end and the boy had reached the position he held in the book.
That night, her illness flared up and she coughed blood. She welcomed death without regret.
She never expected to open her eyes and find herself still alive. The male lead, who was supposed to end up with the heroine, looked haggard. The once-radiant boy was now like a demon, whispering in her ear again and again, "A Zhi, you can't leave me."
"You said I was yours."
