After the Villainess and the Tycoon Swapped Bodies

Goofy girl x domineering CEO | Beagle x patient man | A witch who can't be burned to death x her knight

1.

Qiao Ying awakened to the truth and discovered she was a vicious supporting villainess with a tragic background and a long list of wicked deeds.

She raised her middle finger to the sky. Just as she was about to start enjoying her freedom, she blinked and unexpectedly switched bodies with a certain CEO.

After another wave of unexpected delight,

She stared at the tiny mole on her wrist and directed the secretary with an evil smile. "Here's what you're going to do. Deposit a hundred million dollars into Qiao Ying's account for no reason, buy her three villas, preferably throw in a few sports cars, and then get me a milk tea."

Secretary: Got it. You're planning to keep... keep...

Qiao Ying: Don't be ridiculous! In our circles, we call it following!

2.

After they switched bodies,

The CEO went to her appearances while she watered the money tree;

The CEO went to her film set while she stole the company seal;

The CEO went on a show while she snuck over the wall in the middle of the night to spy on a rival company's factory;

Qiao Ying was busy making money. The CEO was busy losing his mind.

She roasted sleazy men, cursed out women who competed for male attention, and ground the low-class, greasy main cast into the dirt.

A business genius gritted his teeth. "What kind of scum are all these people around you?"

Qiao Ying pressed her index fingers together. "Oh, you know. We're vicious villainesses. We're in the blues."

On a dating show, the CEO put on a noble, icy face and played the sharp-tongued, universally disliked character. He sneered at the original male lead: "Get lost. I'm homophobic."

Qiao Ying could only trail behind him, cleaning up the mess.

Viewers: Wow, so sweet! President Pei really dotes on Qiao Ying!

Qiao Ying: He really wants me to lose my job!

What Qiao Ying didn't know was that in her previous life, her awakening caused the novel's world to collapse, bringing floods and devastation.

Among the barren ruins, a battered old camcorder played a clip on its own.

[The old world has already fallen apart. I, Qiao Ying, the vicious villainess of this story, after more than twenty years of bad luck, still believe that once this brief darkness is over, somewhere in infinite space and time, a new story bearing my name will exist.]

[Maybe in that story my journey will still be full of bumps and leave me battered and bruised, but in the end, I will surely reach a happy ending.]

At the end of the video, a hand covered the lens. The tiny mole on its wrist flashed past.

Someone said softly, "Good night. Sweet dreams."

[Little skit]

Pei Yanzhi: Qiao Ying's initials are QY. Reversed, that's YQ, for the moon. Its orbital period is 27.32 days, and its orbital inclination ranges between 28.58° and 18.28°. What do you think, if I change my WeChat nickname to 27.32 and my signature to 18.28°-28.58°, will it be too obvious?

Secretary: Just change it already. You're acting like a lunatic.

The next day, a popular post appeared on a social media app.

Title: [Does he have a crush on me?]

Post: [So, my crush is an earth sign. Yesterday he suddenly changed his Moments signature to 18.28°-28.58°. I looked it up, and that's the moon's orbital inclination. Moon, YQ, reversed that's QY, and my name happens to be QY. Does he like me?]

Commenter A: Is your crush an intelligence agent?

Commenter B: How narcissistic do you have to be to make that connection?

Commenter C: No, he's being so obvious. How can the poster not see it?

Commenter D: One dares to do it, the other dares to guess. You two are made for each other, a perfect match, a pair of heavenly immortals!

[Reading guide]

1. A slow burn, with lots of childish bickering and terrible jokes. A goofy, lighthearted, logic-defying, shameless showbiz story.

2. A satisfying, sweet Mary Sue story about girls who were assigned malice in the original story growing flesh and blood.

3. This story is truly shameless. Here's a virtual wooden fish for you to tap. If you need one, type 1 (

Preorder now open for my other novel: Why Is the Tragic Romance Heroine So Unhinged?

Blurb:

Before transmigrating into a book, Zhu Lingxiao was the most renowned cultivator in the cultivation world, the leader of the immortal sects, and born with a sword bone.

Unfortunately, her education was so poor it would have made Qin Shi Huang burn books and bury scholars. She failed the sect's written exam for eight years and outlasted twenty tutors.

One day, she was struck by lightning and transmigrated into a melodramatic romance novel, becoming the heroine destined for three thousand chapters of torturous love with a domineering CEO.

The System shrieked in her ear:

[As the heroine of a tragic romance, you will be misunderstood and framed by the male lead and various supporting characters, and tortured physically and emotionally. They'll take your kidneys, draw your blood, and smash your kneecaps one after another!]

[If you want to survive, you have to follow the plot and raise their affection for you!]

[Go, now! The white moonlight is about to go abroad, and the male lead and supporting men are all in a private room seeing her off. You have to take advantage of them getting drunk and make your move!]

Zhu Lingxiao, a complete illiterate, only understood the last two words. Her eyes sharpened, and she nodded resolutely.

So she pushed open the private-room door and robbed the men who were dead drunk, leaving them with nothing but their underwear.

The System let out a piercing shriek: That's not what I meant by making your move!

-

It was only later that the System found out Zhu Lingxiao was illiterate. This was just how she normally operated.

System: You have to be a lovesick puppy.

Zhu Lingxiao ignored the male lead's taunts and grabbed a Samoyed, licking it three times.

System: You have to show him some warmth.

Zhu Lingxiao ignored the second male lead's mockery and poured a kettle of hot water over him.

System: You have to reform the villain.

Zhu Lingxiao stayed up all night brewing bone-melting liquid. She accidentally misread the ingredients and formed a contract with the villain, taking him in as her spirit pet.

In the middle of the night, the villain sent her an 800-character essay, flowing and eloquent, full of heartfelt emotion.

Zhu Lingxiao frowned. "I can't read some of this. Get me a human agent."

System: Aaaaaah! He says he likes you!

-

Zhu Lingxiao discovered that sword cultivators and tragic romance heroines had one thing in common: they were poor.

After enduring a string of modern-day nightmares, including being poisoned by formaldehyde in a subdivided apartment, getting dehydrated from a trendy delivery meal, and renting a cheap haunted house to save money, she finally came to her senses. She decided to listen to the System and pursue the richest villain in the original story.

She found the handsome but nasty young master of the Lian family and boldly slipped a carefully prepared love letter into his hand.

One of his friends quickly snatched it away and unfolded it. His eyes went dark as he read:

[Gud morning, little brother, wanna date? Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I want go shopping with you, me misi you vrey much, god night!]

Lian Qi only gave a cold smile. "This woman is a master of intrigue."

The male lead, the second male lead, and everyone else: ?

Theme: Please, no matter how many times it takes, save yourself from the fire and water
