After Successfully Winning Over the Villain

[Blurb]

You transmigrated.

You were reborn as the only princess of this dynasty, surrounded by fine clothes, delicious food, and unimaginable wealth. You'd been winning at life since birth.

At the same time, you acquired a defective conquest System. Apart from displaying the affection levels of conquest targets, it had no other functions.

Over the course of ten years, you met three conquest targets.

The first was a Taoist priest with an ethereal air, skilled in mystic arts, who would sneak into the princess's residence at night to bring you snacks.

The second was the general's youngest son, born with extraordinary strength and untamed. When you were attacked, he once fought his way through a path of enemies to save you, all by himself.

The third was a bookish young scholar with a photographic memory, immense learning, and a way with words. Most importantly, he always knew just what to say, making him the perfect confidant.

Years passed. The little Taoist priest became a powerful Imperial Preceptor, the young general became a famed commander who had never known defeat, and the young scholar had long since passed the highest imperial exam and entered the cabinet as a minister.

Most importantly, their affection for you kept growing.

It grew so high that even the System upgraded.

The new feature let you see each conquest target's character tags.

Excitedly, you opened the System and saw:

[Calamity Bringer]

[Traitorous Minister]

[Treacherous Chancellor]

You: …Never mind that they're all villains, why are they all the type to stab me in the back?
