Blurb:

Zhao Qianqian was raised by her uncle's family. After marrying into the Pei family in her cousin's place, she was always careful, watching others' moods and treading cautiously.

But life in a top-tier wealthy family was no easy matter. No matter how much she worked on her social skills and self-improvement, she could never satisfy anyone.

Only after she died did she learn that this world was a book, and she was the foil to her cousin Du Baiqing.

She had tried hard to keep a low profile, look after others' feelings, and avoid causing trouble. Yet her final verdict was: "scheming simp."

System: Host, congratulations on being reborn! Starting today, let's change your luck together.

Zhao Qianqian: How?

System: Tell the truth.

Zhao Qianqian, who had been kind and considerate all her life but still wound up with a bad name, rubbed her face and put away her benevolent smile. "Then I won't hold back."

Want to hear something that hits a nerve? Here you go.

Here's the dose of scheming you say I owe you. Take it.

And so...

At her wealthy mother-in-law's haute couture fitting, a group of society ladies lavishly praised the clothes.

Zhao Qianqian: "You should eat less braised pork. Your brain's blood vessels are bulging out."

At her tycoon father-in-law's birthday banquet, all the guests offered auspicious wishes.

Zhao Qianqian: "I hope you stay healthy until next year."

At a wealthy friend's wedding, congratulations poured in from everyone in their social circle.

Zhao Qianqian: "I hope you get divorced soon."

At first, everyone was horrified. They shouted, "She's crazy!" "She's rebelling!" "Tear her apart!"

Later, they said, "I think... she must have her reasons."

Zhao Qianqian changed. She spoke her mind, unapologetic and sharp, no longer letting anyone wear her down.

People's attitudes toward her changed too.

They loved her more and more, competing to be her friend. They gave her haute couture and luxury goods, valuable opportunities, and thought of her whenever anything good came along.

Meanwhile, Du Baiqing, the heroine of the original book, became her foil.

*

The man Zhao Qianqian married in place of her cousin is the Pei family's heir, Pei Tinghui, the future villain who turns evil in the latter half of the original story. He has an elegant, refined air and handsome features.

He's exactly her type. Unfortunately, in her memories, he's cold-hearted, gloomy, and suspicious.

In this life, she tries her best not to provoke him, hoping to change her luck and keep her distance.

But she doesn't know that her being reborn is the result of his years of obsession.

They share a System.

Every word she says when asking the System for help is imprinted in his mind and engraved in his heart.

[Extra Scene]

One day, Pei Tinghui stands before her and gazes deeply at her.

System: "Tell the truth. What do you think of me?"

Zhao Qianqian: ?

At the same time, a flicker of panic passes through the man's dark eyes.

He says, "Don't answer yet."

Zhao Qianqian: ???

Don't make this a story within a story...

==Upcoming Novel: I Transmigrated Into the Villain Camp, and I'm Winning by Lying Flat==

Workaholic Tang Hanjia has been working around the clock for years. Before she can even spend the money she earned, she transmigrates into a book.

The original body is the despised eldest sister-in-law in a wealthy family, who married into the Mu family by clinging to a powerful patron. Desperate to make herself matter, she spends all day stirring up trouble, determined to crush her rivals.

Instead, she gets slapped in the face by her rivals, brings down the Mu family, and dies miserably on the street.

System: Dear Host, please work hard to follow the plot and push the protagonist group to the pinnacle of life!

Tang Hanjia rolls over. "Thanks for asking, but I'm tired. Whoever works that hard is a dog."

And she won't let anyone else work themselves to the bone either.

Whoever makes her anxious, she'll make lie flat.

Everyone in the Mu family, the richest family in Shencheng that the original body married into above her station, is a little crazy.

Second Young Master Mu, Mu Ruiming, works day and night in an attempt to crush the male lead and overcome a technical challenge.

Tang Hanjia passes by with a blanket over her shoulders, gives him a pillow, and casually lights some sleep-inducing incense.

With a thump, Second Young Master Mu slumps over and falls asleep.

Third Young Master Mu, Mu Ruicong, wants to win the heroine's affection. He ignores his status as a popular idol and waits on her hand and foot, ready to come whenever she calls, holding an umbrella, draping his jacket over her, paying for her things, and putting on her shoes.

Tang Hanjia's phone plays a drama. "Look at that guy. He's like a dog!"

Third Young Master Mu: ???

The Mu family's youngest daughter, Mu Ruiyue, frantically diets and works on herself inside and out to outshine the heroine, throwing every trick in the entertainment industry's book at the problem.

Tang Hanjia sips her calming, nourishing porridge and says wistfully, "Want to hear the latest gossip from the entertainment industry?"

Young Miss Mu waves a hand, then stops. "...I do!"

When the System returns from its upgrade, it discovers that the villains have settled down, their mental states are stable, and they've grown stronger.

So strong that the protagonist group can't even smell their farts?!

Tang Hanjia yawns. "What protagonist group? The people I'm raising aren't the protagonist group?"

System: ...Ahhh! What do I do? This is going to collapse! Ahhhhh!

*

Tang Hanjia's nominal husband, the Mu family's eldest son, Mu Siheng, is an ambitious man determined to take on the wealthy families behind his two biggest rivals by himself.

The System warns her: He looks fine, but he must already be crazy inside.

At first, he has only one request for Tang Hanjia: Let's keep out of each other's way.

Romance? Not a chance.

Later, he accidentally discovers that rivals and teammates alike look at Tang Hanjia with admiration.

They come up with all sorts of ways to confess to her. The whole world wants to steal his wife.

One day, he even sees his second brother stop her in a corner, panting. "Sister-in-law, get a divorce!"

Another day, he sees his third brother corner her against a wall, eyes red. "Big Brother isn't good enough for you."

Even his younger sister grabs her hand and says, "I really like you..."

Mu Siheng: ...You all want to die, is that it?
