[!!! Terrible writing. Enter at your own risk!]

[Coming soon: Ancient Times Transmigration: The Max-Level Social Butterfly Drives the Male Lead Crazy]

Lan Yin, an award-winning agent, transmigrated into the body of a maid serving the disgraced Crown Prince Zhao Xing. Her professional standards wouldn't let him sink further into despair, so she started working behind the scenes:

Defend his reputation: The disgraced Crown Prince's enemies made up all the charges against him.

Shift the blame: The disgraced Crown Prince had done some bad things, sure, but his subordinates had egged him on. They'd been fired now.

Put others down: The Second Prince was no good, the Third Prince was even worse... Of all the princes, only the disgraced Crown Prince was fit to rule.

Ship them: Word was that the Princess Royal wanted to marry her daughter to the disgraced Crown Prince. Could he be about to make a comeback?

Play the victim: The disgraced Crown Prince is now haggard and heartbroken. How could he possibly have the strength to spread these rumors? It has to be our enemies trying to destroy us for good! Sob...

But the disgraced Crown Prince wasn't the least bit grateful. "I understand how you feel, but I advise you not to waste your time on a ruined man like me. I have no interest in power, and I'm not interested in you either."

Later

The disgraced Crown Prince clung to her every day. "Yinyin, I'm not a ruined man. Look at me..."

[Coming soon: Ancient Times Transmigration: The Max-Level Social Butterfly Drives the Male Lead Crazy]

After Zhu Tangtang died, she transmigrated into the crazy female villain in a male-lead-centered imperial exam novel. The System told her that if she followed the script and completed her tasks, she'd get the chance to start a new life in this world.

She gave the script a quick glance: bully the male lead, fall in love with him, imprison him. Okay, easy enough. She tossed the script aside.

System: !!! There's only one copy of the script. How are you supposed to follow the plot if you throw it away?

Zhu Tangtang felt a little guilty, but still spoke with confidence. "Relax, it's no big deal!"

Bully the male lead: That just means stealing his food, putting bugs in his desk, pulling his hair, and annoying him by talking in class, right?

Fall in love with the male lead: Just confess in all sorts of creative ways.

Imprison the male lead: Even easier. She's read plenty of books with this trope, so she's got the theory down pat.

Everything went smoothly. At the end, she tied the male lead to a chair, leaned down, and laughed maniacally in his ear. "If I can't have you, I'll destroy you. No one else can have you either."

But why had the male lead, always so proper and refined and in poor health, tied her up in return?

The System looked at the utterly ridiculous turn of events. "This is what you call no big deal?"

Zhu Tangtang stared at her unchanged face in the mirror. "This is what you call a new identity?"

They both fell silent.

Zhu Tangtang froze for a moment, then forced a bright smile at the male lead who had tied her up. "B-Big Brother, listen to me. I was just joking around. How could I not recognize you, or tie you up?"

"Oh, really?" He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I rather like this new game of yours."
