The Fake Princess with Princess Syndrome and the Brooding Villain Get a Happy Ending

Novel blurb:

Xi Ling transmigrated into a badly concluded fantasy demon-hunting novel. Her mission was to rewrite the bad ending and give the story a happy future.

It sounded like a noble and glorious mission. Xi Ling would have been even happier if she'd had something better than a busted, chuuni System after transmigrating.

The System called itself "Oscar" and was eager to save the world.

Xi Ling: I think we got each other's scripts. Seriously.

"Oscar" had an extremely limited function: whenever other people saw her as the opposite of who she really was, she could earn points and exchange them for mission items. The greater the contrast, the more points she got.

So, at the suggestion of the shameless System, the timid Xi Ling pretended to be a spoiled princess with a princess complex. She only drank cheap liquor, only ate at "Restaurent"-quality places, and was more outrageous and troublesome than anyone else. Every night, when she reviewed the day's antics, she wanted to kneel and kowtow to the original novel's hero and heroine.

The original hero and heroine were the ultimate pair of sweet, naive fools.

In the original story, they failed to see that their companion had ulterior motives, and ended up with one dead and the other insane. It was as tragic and pitiful as could be.

As for the person with ulterior motives...

Xi Ling's gaze shifted to the gentle, refined young man in the corner, just in time to see him offer a mild, humble smile.

She looked away. Hmph, what a drama queen.

Whether the Best Actress or Best Actor would win this acting duel didn't matter at all.

What mattered was, why did her points keep going up when she wasn't even acting?

More importantly, why, after the villain Yun Zhuyue caught her witnessing his murder, did he not kill her to silence her? Instead, he crouched down and searched through the flowers spattered with blood. He picked a blossom still untouched by blood, smiled, and tucked it into her hair, speaking in a voice so gentle it sent a chill down her spine.

"This flower suits you. Also, I like you."

Xi Ling stared at the sudden explosion of points on the System and felt utterly overwhelmed.

Can someone tell her why the big villain has inexplicably fallen for her all on his own?!

#Who confesses at a murder scene?#

#I'm not being difficult with you because you're special. I just don't want to deal with you.#

#What if the big villain finds out she doesn't like him at all?#

#Help!!!#
