I'm Both the Wicked Woman and the White Moonlight

Jiang Xiaoyu transmigrates into a book.

The good news: She's a princess, born into luxury, dressed in fine clothes and eating delicious food, with a System to boot.

Jiang Xiaoyu says, "Since I can't go back anyway, this identity is a sure thing!"

The bad news: She's the book's ultimate villainess, using her status to bully people and tormenting the male lead to win the second male lead's favor.

She drugs him and throws him into a male brothel, starves him and dumps him in a hunting ground, and even has someone break his legs later on...

The strong, tragic male lead naturally meets the kind and virtuous female lead, and in the meantime, the second male lead falls in love with her too.

The princess gives everything for the second male lead, who falls for the female lead instead. Her heart turns even more twisted, and she torments the female lead as well.

But justice will prevail in the end, and the vicious princess dies in a fire.

Going over the original's many crimes, Jiang Xiaoyu condemns her: "That's just too much. But none of this has happened yet, so am I supposed to conquer him?"

"No!" the System replies in a toneless voice. "Those are the tasks you have to complete! Complete them successfully to earn points, which can be exchanged for anything you want: gold and silver, medicine, weapons... When your character dies, you can use your identity to keep living in this world with those things."

Unable to refuse her tasks, Jiang Xiaoyu can only play the villainous princess by day. Guilt-ridden, she becomes a mysterious benefactor at night, helping the male lead and gradually earning his trust until she takes him on as her disciple. Without her knowing, she has already become the moonlight in his heart.

Every day, Jiang Xiaoyu prays that her part in the story will end sooner rather than later. Then she can fake her death and live carefree with all the things she's bought. But over the years, she's spent all her points helping the male lead. Having shed her identity and gone into hiding, Jiang Xiaoyu could cry.

"I don't have a single penny saved. How am I supposed to get by? Spending money on a man really does bring a lifetime of bad luck. I thought of it as an investment, but now I'm completely broke!"

The man, now the supreme ruler, suddenly appears at the remote, secluded courtyard. After hearing her words from inside, he pushes the door open with a dark expression. "After all these years of hard work, if you wanted a reward, why not just tell me? What should I call you? Imperial Sister, or Master?"

Jiang Xiaoyu stands frozen, trembling, with two copper coins in her hand.

It's over. When did he find out who I am?

P.S. 1. After transmigrating, the female lead is three years older than the male lead.

2. The female lead is the emperor's adopted daughter, and the male lead is an unfavored prince. They are not related by blood.

3. The original character is extremely vicious, and the female lead has to play along with the role, though she can't help feeling bad and tries to minimize the harm she causes the male lead. Some situations are needed for the plot and don't reflect the author's values.
