When the Villain Chooses to Win Me Over

Shi Lingyi thought Heaven had finally taken pity on her and freed her from the torment of her hypersensitive nerves. It had kindly let her be reborn in ancient times, starting her life over in another body. But even in this life, she still had a pain threshold far beyond ordinary people. She smiled and gave Heaven the finger.

Heaven didn't react. A System appeared instead. "Please win over the antagonist and stop him from killing both the male and female leads."

Shi Lingyi rolled over. "What's that got to do with me?"

System: "That's the price of my letting you be reborn."

She rolled back and sprawled out flat. "Fine, I'm done living. Let me die again."

"..."

The System didn't give up. Seventeen years later, it finally managed to persuade Shi Lingyi. "Win over the antagonist, and I'll reduce your pain sensitivity."

"Deal." Shi Lingyi sat bolt upright, though she was on her deathbed, and turned to order her men, "Two hundred thousand taels of gold. Hire an assassin to kill Shen Candong."

???

System: "Wait, what are you doing?"

"Getting the first strike in, of course. I'm stopping him from killing both leads in the future."

"...That's not how you win someone over!"

Shi Lingyi had no choice but to put her assassination plan on hold and switch to the traditional self-sacrificing approach to winning him over.

One day, she accidentally hit her head and fell into a deep sleep. Shi Xiaoyi woke up.

Shi Xiaoyi looked around, thought for a moment, made a wild guess, and concluded that Shen Candong had dumped her.

She dressed up in front of a mirror, drawing on black eyeliner and applying deep-red lipstick before putting on a bright red dress. Then she said coldly to Shen Candong, "It took everything I had to fall for someone, and you made me lose so completely."

Shen Candong: ?

Shi Xiaoyi continued, "You weren't there for me when the sun set, so who are you now that I've risen again?"

Shen Candong: ...

Shi Xiaoyi went on, "If you clip my wings, I'll destroy your whole heaven!"

Shen Candong fell into deep thought.

The System, which had witnessed the whole thing, was completely numb.

But how can anyone live without going a little crazy?

Theme: Live happily.
