Forced to Play the Villainess, She Is Spoiled by the Powerful

In public, Lu Jinhuan is a haughty beauty on a pedestal. In private, she's a delicate crybaby who tears up at the slightest poke. By chance, she binds to a villainess-reform System that has arrived ten years too early. Under the System's threats, she has no choice but to begin her missions, all while holding back tears. The four princes have been struck by a love-afflicting curse because of “her”? She sets a few plump silkworm babies free and takes care of it! The Empress Dowager was poisoned by “her”? She casually recites a few lines of scripture and it's handled! The missions go smoothly, but the princes' gazes grow more and more smoldering. The eldest prince, Li Yunzhan, drops his pretense: “What good is keeping my feelings under control? Why can't I love you?” The second prince, Li Jihan, proposes to her in public: “The woman I want as my princess consort is her, and her alone.” The third prince, Li Lanye, has tears in his eyes: “I don't want anything anymore. Please, just look at me once more.” The fourth prince, Li Xuanwei, holds out his hand to her: “Come to my side. I'll give you everything you want.” * Faced with her final mission, “voluntarily ask to be deposed and leave the palace,” Lu Jinhuan bites her handkerchief in distress. The rigid System insists: “Become empress first, and then you can be deposed.” As soon as she enters the palace, a coup erupts. The four princes draw their swords against one another, while a marquis renowned across the Nine Provinces surrounds the imperial city with his cavalry. It looks like a fight for the throne, but it's really a fight for a bride. Once the dust settles, the new emperor holds a phoenix crown and presses her against the throne. “What else does Your Majesty wish for?” Lu Jinhuan timidly asks, “Could Your Majesty depose me?” “Of course.” “Really?” The new emperor chuckles. “On our wedding night? Of course we should.” Should what? What should? Lu Jinhuan angrily bites the brocade pillow embroidered with dragons and phoenixes in a blissful union. The new emperor strokes the corners of her reddened eyes. “My wife is still young and doesn't know the weight of her words. I can only cherish her with my favor, to comfort you a little.”
