The Beauty and Her Blade
Shen Zhiyao didn't have a very good life in her previous one.
She betrayed her family for a man and helped him climb the ladder step by step. Later, after he had made a name for himself, he brought home a pregnant woman and told her, "Zhiyao, it was an accident. You won't mind, will you?"
Before she could react, he was arrested for treason, and Shen Zhiyao was implicated.
At her most desperate moment, Xie Songqiu, the treacherous minister feared throughout the court, reached out to help her.
No one remembered that they had once been childhood sweethearts.
Shen Zhiyao later learned that her childhood friend had secretly loved her for over twenty years, watching helplessly as she chased after someone else.
He'd been driven to the brink of madness long ago.
Shen Zhiyao couldn't stand a man who was wicked to the core and wanted to control everything. They loved and fought, with him chasing and her fleeing for years. Then, after an argument with him, she stormed out of the house in a fit of pique and ended up dead in the wilderness.
After Shen Zhiyao died, Xie Songqiu took bloody revenge on her behalf, implicating hundreds and staining the dynasty with blood.
Then he carried her corpse into the family tomb and had himself buried alive beside her.
Honestly, what an idiot.
Wouldn't it have been better to just live?
Only after death did she learn that she was a brainless supporting woman in a male-lead power fantasy. When the male lead fell into trouble, she kicked him while he was down, abandoned him, and went over to Xie Songqiu, the story's ultimate villain. After the male lead rose from the ashes, he gave her a thorough face-slapping. After she died, Xie Songqiu grew ever more deranged, eventually disappearing when everyone in the land wanted him dead, while the male lead went on to reach the pinnacle of success.
Shen Zhiyao: "..."
When she opened her eyes, she was back at the age of sixteen.
Spring was in full bloom, and begonia petals drifted down like snow.
Xie Songqiu, the ruthless minister who had wielded power in her previous life, stood before her.
His expression cold, he said, "I won't help you pursue him. Give it up."
Shen Zhiyao: "Oh."
She pointed to the brightest begonia blossom high on the red wall. "Go pick that flower for me."
Xie Songqiu: "?"
"What are you going crazy about now..."
Shen Zhiyao: "Pick it for me, and I'll marry you."
Since he's the villain, she might as well give being one a try.
The villain couple is unstoppable.
