Can't a Villainess Hate the Overpowered Hero?

Qing Li is a villainess in a male-oriented novel, the heroine of a broken-engagement plot. Beautiful and pure, with a distinguished family background, she is nevertheless vicious at heart.

She humiliates the male lead when he's down and publicly breaks off their engagement, only to be mocked with, "Never look down on a young man just because he's poor."

She looks down on his family, only to end up with her own family destroyed and dead.

She despises the male lead for being old-fashioned and unsophisticated, only to become unable to let him go after he makes a name for himself. She spends the rest of her life regretting it and dies taking a sword meant for him.

*

After dying, she was reborn. This time, she was going to heal the male lead and become his first love before he rose to prominence... Yeah, right!

She's going to oppose this gloomy, despicable dragon-pride protagonist!

As for the bastard who pushed her out to take a fatal blow for the male lead in her previous life, he had better pray she never tracked him down.

So Qing Li stole the male lead's opportunities, took his talents, and kept bullying, humiliating, and insulting him. But the brat only looked at her with dark eyes and rasped, "Yes, my lady."

The more she saw him, the angrier she got. She decided to completely shatter his self-esteem.

So at a banquet, she drugged the male lead with an aphrodisiac and locked him in a room sealed with a barrier, planning to make sure everyone saw his disgrace.

But in the end, she was trapped in the room with him too???

When the male lead grabbed her ankle and looked at her with damp, restrained eyes, she finally panicked.

He rasped, "My lady, if we don't do it, the antidote won't work, right?"

...Wait, don't panic!

She still had her aloof master, her loyal guard, and her childhood friend with a possessive streak.

Blushing, she put on her usual haughty air again. "Hmph, there are plenty of people who can give me the antidote. I don't need you!"

She hated dragon-pride protagonists most of all!
