The Villainess Who Humiliates the Male Lead

The most powerful being in the universe, the Flying Flower Sword Venerable Xie Chenyuan, has lived a life as flawless as jade, with only one blemish.

That blemish is the eldest daughter of a wicked family, a villainess who was once engaged to him when he was still mortal. She looked down on him and broke off the engagement, crippled his hand, and climbed the social ladder. Then, after he achieved the Great Dao, she used his name to throw her weight around and commit every evil imaginable, before dying a gruesome death.

Ning Cheng transmigrated into the book called Ask the Heavenly Dao, taking the place of this unfortunate character.

When she arrived, she found the young Sword Venerable with his family destroyed and his spiritual meridians completely severed.

He had come to the Ning family carrying the bloodstained engagement contract left by his grandfather. He'd tucked it against his chest, where it still held his body's warmth.

The young man knelt in the hall, his back straight. He had clear, beautiful phoenix eyes, but kept them lowered and didn't look at her.

Just as Ning Cheng came to her senses, she heard the System's voice: Go stomp on his hand and tear up the engagement contract.

Ning Cheng: ...

She asked the System what would happen if she did that. It said that when the three-year deadline came, he'd bring a hundred thousand immortal soldiers to raze her family home, but if she completed the task, she could go home.

Ning Cheng: ...

She lifted the hem of her skirt and gently stepped on his uninjured left hand with her delicate white embroidered shoe. Then, trembling, she tore up the engagement contract. "I don't want to marry you."

Seeing his expression, she secretly leaned closer and added in a quiet voice, "Maybe once you're healed and can protect me, then I'll marry you."

The young man's pale face suddenly turned bright red.

Following the System's instructions, Ning Cheng dutifully stayed by Xie Chenyuan's side and played the wicked villainess. She demanded this and that from him, from jade hairpins to elixirs; acted spoiled and complained her feet hurt after walking a few steps, making him carry her; picked fights and made enemies for him; chased off his admirers; ruined his chances at immortal opportunities; and even stomped on him every now and then.

Xie Chenyuan seemed upright and reserved, but who knew he had such a good temper? The only time he got upset was when she looked at another handsome man for a little too long. No matter how much she put him through, he never got angry.

As the story entered its second half, Ning Cheng happily looked forward to going home.

The System assessed her performance and said, "You failed. What makes you think you can go home?"

That night, she cried and begged to leave, but Xie Chenyuan pinned her to the bed and kissed her fiercely in silence.

*Xie Chenyuan is a true saint. Before ascending, he slew demons to protect the mortal world. After ascending, he wielded his sword for the Heavenly Dao. Upright and open-hearted, he seemed to have no dark emotions or personal preferences. He accepted his engagement to her only because their parents and teachers had arranged it.

So Ning Cheng never imagined that after she cleared the story, she would die according to the plot right in front of Xie Chenyuan.

Nor did she imagine that Xie Chenyuan, holding her corpse, would go so utterly mad.
