The Villainess Is Desired by the Male Leads

[Multiple male leads + male rivalry + tangled love triangle + melodramatic Mary Sue + all male leads are virgins]

A System suddenly awakened in Mu Huanyu's mind.

The System told her that she was a villainess living inside a novel.

But a glitch in the world had created N pairs of male and female leads, while she was the only villainess!

This made it impossible for the plot to continue, and the world was on the verge of collapse. That's why the System had come to ask for her cooperation.

If she refused, she would cease to exist.

Mu Huanyu: So you're saying I have to be madly in love with all N of these top male leads, who might know each other, and do everything I can to drive a wedge between them and their female leads?

System: That's right.

System: First, you need to drug Male Lead No. 1 and sleep with him, making it look like something happened between you so the female lead, who's secretly in love with him, can see it and suffer.

Mu Huanyu: Fine.

System: Then, you need to drug Male Lead No. 2 and sleep with him, making it look...

Mu Huanyu: Wait, why are all your missions the same?

System: That's how angsty romance novels work~

Mu Huanyu: Give me something different.

System: You need to become Male Lead No. 3's substitute lover. When his one true love returns, make life difficult for her, then get thoroughly face-slapped to bring the leads together and bow out once your task is complete.

Mu Huanyu: ...

Mu Huanyu dutifully carried out the System's instructions.

But the plot seemed to be spiraling more and more out of control.

Weren't the male leads supposed to be interested in no one but their female leads?

Why were they all starting to look at her like hungry wolves?

Why weren't they pursuing their destined female leads, and instead kept coming after her?

Mu Huanyu could only think: She's doomed. Her N secret identities are about to be exposed, and it looks like she won't be able to hide the fact that she's been declaring her love to N men at once either. Aaaaaah!

Being a villainess is so hard!

Reader's guide:

Not a power fantasy. The male lead is obsessive and possessive, with male rivalry, groveling after rejection, and all sorts of other drama~

Please add my upcoming novel to your reading list: I Seduced My Fiance's Younger Brother

The heiress Chen Jinyi didn't want to get married. After all, an arranged marriage was her destiny.

With such limited choices, it was obvious none of them would be any good, and besides, she was a sucker for good looks.

Her mother had given her an ultimatum long ago: she could refuse to marry, but if she had a child to inherit the family fortune, her mother would leave her alone.

Chen Jinyi had agreed readily, then promptly forgotten all about it. She only remembered when her mother brought it up again, just as the deadline was approaching.

So Chen Jinyi went to great lengths to lure a handsome man into her bed. Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs: he seemed perfect for giving her an heir.

He was very capable, and after they became a couple, they spent seven wild days together without leaving the house.

Chen Jinyi was sure she'd succeeded.

As soon as she left, she blocked and deleted him, cut off contact, and never saw him again.

Two months later, there was still no sign of a baby.

Chen Jinyi shook her head in wonder. He looked like he knew what he was doing, and the process seemed pretty good too, but in the end he was utterly useless. You really can't judge a book by its cover.

Once her deadline passed, her parents began pushing hard for her to go on blind dates.

Chen Jinyi reluctantly agreed to meet one.

To her surprise, he was just as top-tier and handsome as the man she'd picked herself last time.

Chen Jinyi suddenly felt that an arranged marriage wasn't so hard to accept after all.

The two families swiftly arranged their engagement.

But on the day of the engagement, she saw the man she'd blocked and deleted, the one she thought she'd never see again. He glared at her beneath a stormy expression. He was her fiance's younger brother.

The fiance and his younger brother are both virgins.

A completed novel is available next door:

A healing fairy tale for adults: My Younger Self Came to Visit

Someone on Zhihu asked: What's it like to study hard and struggle, only to end up making a mess of your life?

[Thanks for the invite. That's exactly me. I've been out of school for years, have accomplished nothing, and am still struggling near the poverty line. The person I probably feel sorriest for is the carefree person I used to be.]

So often,

Ning Xinyu felt she couldn't keep going.

Her life was nearly over.

Maybe it was time to end it.

But just before she ended everything,

a lively twelve-year-old version of herself suddenly appeared in her life.

"Waaah, you can't kill me! I have to live to be ninety!"

A year later, the original poster edited her answer.

[Maybe your past self is far more forgiving of you than you imagine.]
