The lights glittered at the society gala.
Su Nianxi, second daughter of the Su Group, made her entrance in a black backless gown, swaying gracefully and dazzling everyone in the room.
Every strand of her hair was breathtakingly beautiful.
Men and women alike wanted to be at her beck and call, but she remained unmoved. Her unforgettable beauty seemed to warn strangers to keep their distance, and her alluring eyes looked down on everyone with haughty disdain.
In a corner, Xi Jing, who had transmigrated into a book, watched her, her gaze following Su Nianxi like a shadow as she whispered with the System bound to her.
The System said, "In a little while, when the heroine Su Nianxi is being bullied, it'll be your cue to step in."
Xi Jing rubbed her hands together, her bright eyes shining. "I'm the hero who rescues her from danger?"
The System said, "No. You're playing the villain who bullies the heroine."
Xi Jing: "..."
Xi Jing was eighteen, an innocent college girl from Yancheng. She had never done anything bad. The most outrageous thing she'd ever done was get stuck in traffic and miss her eight o'clock class.
But to stay alive, she had no choice but to follow the System's instructions and diligently complete her daily tasks of bullying the heroine.
-
Having witnessed the deceit and scheming of high society far too young, Su Nianxi had long seen through people's duplicitous nature. She was perceptive and never fell in love.
She especially despised the foolish, overbearing Xi Jing, who used her pretty face as an excuse to throw her weight around. Since their parents had business ties, Su Nianxi couldn't openly fall out with her, so she treated Xi Jing like a clown and ignored her.
Until one day, she noticed that Xi Jing, who had come to provoke her, had long, straight black hair and a slender, delicate frame. She was making threats like, "I'll never let you off," yet the tips of her ears were red, and she couldn't even look Su Nianxi in the eye.
Su Nianxi: Interesting.
The lights were hazy. Su Nianxi's eyes shimmered as she watched at her leisure and asked, "And how exactly are you not going to let me off?"
Xi Jing had completed her task and was about to make a hasty escape after provoking her. She stammered, "?"
Ahhh, I have no idea! The System never told me!
What she didn't know was that this was only the beginning of her departure from the original story.
Her innocent, lovely nature and sweet heart beneath her feigned wickedness were like a star appearing in a desolate night, mysterious and bewitching. The heroine grew interested in her and wanted to pluck that star from the sky and hold it in her hands, no matter the cost.

[Bonus Scene]:
In the office.
Xi Jing went to bully the heroine, only to be cornered by Su Nianxi and left unable to move.
In the narrow space between them, Su Nianxi leaned against an elegant sandalwood desk, her toe tipped upward. With a pointed high heel, whether teasing or flirting, she lifted the tassels at the hem of Xi Jing's skirt, sending ripples through the air.
Their bodies were nearly pressed together, their breaths mingling and lingering.
The air was rich with the alluring scent of mature perfume.
Xi Jing suddenly blushed with embarrassment and frantically called to the System for help in her mind. She'd bullied the heroine so much that she was bound to get her comeuppance, but wasn't this happening a little too soon?
Su Nianxi propped her chin on a long finger. Her alluring face was relaxed and composed as she asked mischievously, "Weren't you going to bully me? Why are you blushing?"
Xi Jing tried to deny the obvious: "I'm not blushing."
Su Nianxi: "Then why don't you come bully me?"
Xi Jing: "Y-you have to move the hand around my waist first."
And besides, wasn't she supposed to be the one bullying the heroine?
How had the heroine turned the tables on her?!
##Everyone loves roses, but nobody knows that a rose loves only her moon.
