Su Zhi was transmigrated into a melodramatic Mary Sue novel, becoming the vicious heiress whose sole purpose was to sabotage the romance between the male and female leads, only to be killed by several suitors after they turned evil.
She has to complete the character encyclopedia while making sure not to act out of character, or the System will forcibly control her and make her follow the plot.
She is often defiant. She doesn't want anything to do with these men and wants them to have no interest in her at all.
So the System makes her deliver lunch to the original male lead, who is also her current fiance. She watches as he devours her lunchbox in no time, then complains: "It's awful. Salty and spicy."
After that, she prepares two portions every time, just in case. One is loaded with salt and chili, plus a lethal dose of mustard.
The System makes her deliberately approach her deranged childhood friend, who mocks her to her face again and again.
For years, she bears it all in silence, like an emotionless masochist.
Then one day, despite the penalty for acting out of character, she slaps him right back.
The System makes her walk into the flames of an arrogant rich brat, who sets the ends of her hair on fire several times.
She even has to recite a line about not being angry. If she doesn't, she's deemed out of character and punished.
After that, whenever she sees him, she carries a glass of water and makes snide remarks, then pretends to lose her balance and splashes him in the face.
The System makes her take off the glasses of a stuffy man, only for his huge, multicolored wings to suddenly flap her away.
She gets hit with another out-of-character penalty for falling in an insufficiently graceful pose.
She holds a grudge, and one day, while the bespectacled man is asleep, she grabs his great wings and draws two turtles on them.
Well... completing the encyclopedia is going to be a long road.
But I refuse to believe they'd still like me after all that.

The System is obsessed with making the vicious heiress suffer.
She still refuses to give in.
So she throws herself into playing the vicious heiress, showing not a hint of kindness and trying to nip their feelings in the bud from the very start.
But as one entry after another in the encyclopedia lights up, Su Zhi watches the later pages transform into the "Overpowered Hero Character Encyclopedia."
The cards spell out their identities. In short, none of them are normal humans.
They're all overpowered heroes!
And these formidable men, each more difficult to handle than the last, all start acting strangely.
Even the original female lead approaches her shyly, bringing her lucky-charm aura with her.
They look at her like ravenous wolves.
Where is even the slightest hint of dislike?
Su Zhi frantically backs away, only for a tentacle to wrap around her shoulder and block her path.
She is utterly resigned: "What is wrong with you? Are you a masochist?"
Reading guide:
1. Chaotic, absurd humor and a multi-man love triangle from hell, with original supernatural powers, an aristocratic academy, an imperial setting, and powerful clans and financial groups calling the shots.
2. Mary Sue, beloved by everyone. If you can't stomach this kind of melodrama, don't read.
3. Lots of one-sided crushes throughout. The ending is one-on-one, and there may be alternate storylines.
4. Read the warnings before you curse me. I'll just take it. (Pathetic.)
Theme: Be a good person.
