After Playing the Villainess, the Male Lead Turns Dark

The System told her: If you want to stay alive, protect the male lead and make sure you live up to your role as a vicious supporting female character.

Protect the male lead?

Yu Shuyan thought, “I know how to do this.”

I just have to take hits for him!

So she quietly became an unsung hero, helping the male lead from behind the scenes.

On her very first day, she accidentally split open the male lead’s head, stabbed him once for good measure, and tricked him into signing a contract of indenture.

“My hand slipped. Do you believe me?”

The System exploded: “Wrong! Start over. You’re a vicious supporting female character. You can’t let the male lead like you!”

Yu Shuyan paused to think. “Got it. I’ll put my sharp tongue to work. I’m a professional when it comes to insulting the male lead.”

And so Yu Shuyan began her daily routine of humiliating him.

She mocked him for having no parents and called him a little debt collector.

She laughed at his ragged clothes and said he looked like a beggar.

She came up with all sorts of bizarre excuses to make him work like an ox for her...

She’d thought that with her wickedness as a foil, the male lead would see how pure and lovely the heroine was, then stay by her side forever in a loving, trusting relationship.

Who could have guessed that the male lead would be tormented into turning dark, and start taking an interest in her, a villainous bit player?

Yu Shuyan was pinned against the wall with nowhere to run.

She stared into the male lead’s pair of gloomy, blood-red eyes. “Buddy, take a good look. I’m the vicious supporting female character. Your destined partner is over there!”

The darkened male lead gently stroked her lips, his face all wild obsession and madness. “Shushu, love me. Please love me, okay?”
