The Villainess Doesn't Want to Be the Villain

Blurb:

Li Jinhuan lives up to her name. Reckless and carefree, that is her usual way of doing things. Everyone says she’s dating two people at once and is a bad girl.

Yet she has a face like a temptress, and even with a reputation this terrible, her desk drawer is still stuffed with all kinds of love letters.

Since everyone says she’s a bad girl anyway, she decides to go all the way, tossing every love letter out of the third-floor window and mercilessly trampling the dignity of everyone who confesses to her.

That night, Xu Changfeng searches through the trash for ages, eyes blurred with tears, looking for the letter she wrote.

“Stop looking.”

Li Jinhuan’s voice sounds behind him. Xu Changfeng turns around and sees her holding a blue envelope between her index and middle fingers. She raises an eyebrow and smiles boldly. “Xu Changfeng, I accept your confession.”

It takes Li Jinhuan twenty years to learn that she is the vicious supporting female character in a girls' love novel. She constantly targets the heroine, then brings about her own downfall and ends up trapped on a deserted island.

The person who comes to rescue her in a motorboat turns out to be Xu Changfeng.

As far as she can remember, she and Xu Changfeng have exchanged only one sentence. She never expected Xu Changfeng to risk her life to save her.

Sadly, the waves are too rough, and they both perish at sea.

Li Jinhuan returns to the starting point of the novel's plot, but this time she has gained free will and is bound to the Villainess Supporting Character Self-Rescue System.

"Complete missions to randomly obtain a special ability."

"Congratulations! You have unlocked the 'Soul Swap' ability. Please choose a target for the soul swap."

Without hesitation, Li Jinhuan chooses Xu Changfeng. She wants to know what kind of person Xu Changfeng really is, and why she risked her life to save her.

After becoming Xu Changfeng, she finds her diary.

The name "Li Jinhuan" is written clearly on the title page.

She turns the page. There are no diary entries, just "I love you" written throughout the entire book.
