[Spoiled Villainess × Wicked Antagonist Male Lead Who's a Blank Slate When It Comes to Love]
Blurb:
In a fantasy cultivation novel, certain character archetypes tend to crop up again and again.
For example, the beautiful, ruthless villainess, and the demonic antagonist who has done every evil deed imaginable.
In the novel Treading the Firmament, Qing Chan is the beautiful, ruthless villainess.
As the daughter of the Lingxiao Sect's leader, she holds a lofty status. But in the cultivation world, strength is everything, and as it happens, she is an ordinary person with no spiritual power.
So, in this world where Golden Core cultivators are a dime a dozen, Qing Chan grows twisted with jealousy.
She becomes a villainess who stops at nothing to do evil, and her favorite pastime is tripping up the heroine, the sect leader's foremost disciple.
By a stroke of luck, Luo Qingchan transmigrates into the body of this villainess.
At the same time, the System she is bound to tells her that, in addition to following the original plot, she must win over Song Tinghan, an equally wicked and black-hearted antagonist.
Song Tinghan is also a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect's leader, and calls the heroine Senior Sister.
He is as gentle as jade on the outside, with profound cultivation. Anyone who sees him would praise him as a heaven-gifted genius and the chosen one.
He should have had a bright future, and might even have ascended to immortality. But he seems to have no interest in that. He is wicked by nature, and his favorite thing is making life difficult for others.
Qing Chan asks the System again and again: Does it really expect a useless young lady from the sect, the original story's villainess, to win over the antagonist? What kind of perverse joke is this?
There is no man she can't win over, only men she doesn't want to.
Note:
1. That's the basic premise. The title, blurb, and main characters' names may all be changed later.
2. Neither lead is exactly a good person. The story balances romance and plot in equal measure, with the original heroine portrayed in a dark light.
