The Villainess Doesn't Want to Be Forcefully Dumbed Down

One night, Jiang Moran suddenly realized that she was the villainess in the old-school, wealthy-family melodrama Yu and Tang Never Forget Each Other.

She, Jiang Moran, came from a wealthy family, lived in comfort, had a kind heart, and was generous to others. Everyone agreed she was the woman best suited to stand by the male lead, Fu Tingyu.

As the catalyst for the leads' romance, she worked "diligently" and "tirelessly," repeatedly setting traps to frame the heroine at crucial moments in her career. She even tried to poison her and ruin her reputation, only to get caught in her own scheme and suffer the consequences. She became a laughingstock, disgraced and ruined.

There was no way she was going to have her intelligence forcibly lowered at a crucial moment like that!!!

Sensing her fierce desire to fight back, a cute little-girl voice spoke up in her mind:

"Hello, Ranran! This is the Sweet Candy Division of the Villainess Management Bureau. What you just saw was your ending in this world.

Our data shows that your emotions are highly volatile. In order to fully uphold the Core Socialist Values and become outstanding young people of the new era, our world is launching Operation Righteous Thunder to crack down on all illegal and noncompliant behavior. Any violation could have unimaginable consequences. For the sake of your future and your family's, please act with care. Consider yourself warned!"

Well, would you look at that. Even Systems these days uphold the Core Socialist Values.

Jiang Moran made a few offhand remarks, humored the System, and sent it on its way. It was giving her a headache.

The little girl: ??? She was that easy to talk down? This was the most fanatical and obsessive woman in the whole book!

Jiang Moran didn't ask about any Righteous Thunder operation. She recalled the scenes from her dream: Fu Tingyu's icy expression toward her, and the ardent way he defended Qin Zitang. Then, from an omniscient perspective, she saw herself looking utterly infatuated, driven mad by unrequited love. She decided then and there to cut her losses. After all, staying alive mattered most.

She wasn't about to let a hypocrite make her love him until it killed her. She had her whole life ahead of her. After being mocked for so long, she suddenly felt like finding someone to marry:)

So she put herself on a matchmaking website and asked her mother to introduce her to potential partners. Her requirements were as follows:

A man, no older than thirty-five, around 180 centimeters tall. Divorced was fine, but he couldn't still have feelings for his ex. No unusual fetishes. Good values, kindhearted, and supportive of her charity work.

Her mother: Jiang Moran, are you dreaming? Men like that stopped existing ten years ago!

Xie Lanshuang came rushing toward Mrs. Jiang with his hand outstretched like Erkang: Wait, wait a minute!!!

A pure-hearted man with no ex saw the woman he'd been longing for and immediately blushed, his heart racing so fast he could barely speak. "H-hello, Sis... My name is Xie Lanshuang. My family is from Lanyin. I'm twenty-five, I've never had an ex, I have good values, and I'm kindhearted. I'll support whatever you want to do, no questions asked. My family gets along well, and there's no mother-in-law drama. My mom likes gardening, singing opera, and dancing. She adores you and always attends the theater and dance galas for older adults that you organize. You're a teacher, Sis, and I think you'd get along with my mom. I also have a little nephew who's in first grade. I think you'd like him. And I have a little dog named Quan Quan, who spins in circles when he's happy. Of course, I never let him get unhappy..."

As the man before her rambled on while staring at the floor because he was too embarrassed to look at her, Jiang Moran couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

She smiled. Xie Lanshuang was dazzled.

"So, Sis, will you..."

"Let's spend some time getting to know each other first, then talk about marriage. Don't you agree?"

They got engaged in two months, registered their marriage the next day, held their wedding the following month, and had a baby the year after that. No one expected their relationship to move so fast.

Xie Lanshuang: Fast?? I wish I could marry my wife this very second and take her home.

Was I happy? Of course. My wife loves me too. I earned it with ten years of secret admiration and twenty-five years of shamelessness.

I'd fallen for her at first sight at that gathering ten years ago.

Tips:

1. The second female lead, Jiang Moran, is the heroine of this story. We won't bash or face-slap the original leads. We'll just shine on our own.

2. Thank you for taking the time to read this. *Bows.*

3. I drew the cover myself. *Proudly puts hands on hips.*
