The Wrong Way to Win Over the Villain

[The world has gone wrong. The villain Pei Linzhi wields enormous power at court and is so brilliant he seems almost demonic. Single-handedly, he defeats the male lead, topples the dynasty, and turns the whole world upside down.]

[The villain has now been gravely injured and lost his memory while being hunted. Your mission is to reform him, make him turn over a new leaf, help him become a better person, and...]

[Wait, what are you doing?!]

Ning Tao transmigrated into the role of an extra who rescued the badly wounded villain and brought him home. She raised her knife, intending to kill him while he was injured.

[If the villain dies, you won’t survive either!]

Ning Tao’s mouth twitched. Speechless, she put the knife away.

“Who are you?” the villain Pei Linzhi demanded coldly when he awoke with amnesia.

“Who am I? I’m your wife!” Ning Tao picked up a butcher’s knife and brought it down hard on the chopping board.

Under Ning Tao’s superb acting, the amnesiac villain gradually believed her.

Ning Tao had been pondering how to make the most of the villain and get him to earn money for her. Who knew that the amnesiac villain would be so ambitious? Maybe, deep down, he simply couldn’t accept being poor.

The villain had beautiful handwriting. Sell it!

The villain painted beautifully. Sell the paintings!

The villain had lost his memory, but he still had his fighting skills. He could hunt in the mountains and sell the game!

The amnesiac villain took it upon himself to support the family, thinking every day about how to earn more money and give Ning Tao a better life.

All Ning Tao had to do each day was watch in bewilderment as the villain handed over his earnings and seriously talk about their future plans, like building a new house, having a child, and even growing old together.

Wait, this isn’t right!

It was one thing for the villain to support the family, but he was also planning to raise a child, and at night he was always trying to snuggle up to her.

[How can you treat the villain so badly? Aren’t you going to do your mission?!] the System wailed.

[How am I not doing it? Won’t this happy married life reform him? Look at him now, busy earning money and dealing with everyday life. He doesn’t have time to hate this and that.] Ning Tao fobbed off the System.

In Ning Tao’s view, this villain didn’t need reforming at all. Especially since he was acting so strangely now. She suspected that once he regained his memory, the whole world would collapse, and he’d kill the person who deceived him first: her. Why bother reforming him?

She might as well take the money and run now, disappear under a new name. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

A year passed. Ning Tao took the chance to run away while he was out. By the time the villain returned, the house was empty.

Pei Linzhi, frantic as he searched everywhere for her, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. When he looked up again, he remembered everything.

“Ning Tao!” he snarled, his eyes instantly turning red.

Ning Tao thought she was safe after fleeing to the remote mountains and hiding under a false name. But the moment she stepped outside, she found herself surrounded by a sea of soldiers.

Oh no!
