How Villainous Couples Can Survive Until the Happy Ending

In her previous life, Lin Tingxue fought beside her childhood friend in campaigns across the land. But once he had power in his grasp, he fell in love with her half-sister.

Only before she died did Lin Tingxue learn that she was the villainess in a melodramatic novel.

It was a fate she could not escape.

When she opened her eyes again, she had been reborn on the eve of her elopement.

In her previous life, she had refused to be given as a concubine by her scumbag father to Prince Shu, Pei Ju, a lecherous and cruel man.

This time, she obediently climbed into the bridal sedan.

Villainess Rescue System: Host! If you marry Prince Shu, you can start with marriage and fall in love later, then get your face-slapping revenge...

Lin Tingxue listened expressionlessly. On her wedding day, she pulled out a hairpin and stabbed Prince Shu as he lifted her veil.

System: ?!

Lin Tingxue wasn’t that patient.

She had already tried building up her strength and lying low in her previous life.

She might as well assassinate Prince Shu directly. Having her entire clan executed would be quick and easy.

Unexpectedly, Pei Ju grabbed her wrist. “This is a melodramatic tragedy novel, and I’m a minor character too!”

Lin Tingxue: “I heard you’re a bloodthirsty killer.”

Pei Ju: “That’s what the hired online trolls say.”

Lin Tingxue: “They say your rear court is full of wives and concubines, and that you’re a womanizer.”

Pei Ju: “I have social anxiety! They’re all paid extras. Meals and lodging included, plus five kinds of insurance and a housing fund. They even get severance pay when they quit.”

Lin Tingxue: “...?”

After he transmigrated into a book, Pei Ju was bound to a Villain System.

Do evil? Not interested.

Break up the male and female leads? Can’t be bothered.

Defy fate... Sorry, low-energy people can’t manage that.

The System threatens to kill him?

Whatever. Living is fine, dying is fine too.

Until the second playthrough began, and Pei Ju unexpectedly married Lin Tingxue, the original story’s villainess.

Only then did he realize...

That such a terrifying overachiever could exist in this world.

Later, Pei Ju started to think that teaming up with Lin Tingxue to wreck the original plot...

Might not be so bad after all.
