Only After Faking My Death Did I Learn I Was the Mad Villain's One True Love

[Scheming Rich Heiress from the Capital VS Beautiful, Powerful, Tragic Villain Who Goes Mad and Turns Dark] [Everyone's Favorite] [Nurturing] [Redemption Romance]

Xu Wu transmigrates into a book as the vicious female supporting character who dies a miserable death. The System tells her to provoke the villain into turning dark by courting death.

System: Go! Try the replacement-lover plot! Keep courting death! Sacrifice your whole family! Then you'll survive!

Xu Wu: I'm a rich heiress from the capital. Why would I have to throw myself at this one tree?

Xu Wu's face turns yellow: I really don't know what you're talking about!

After going astray, Xu Wu returns home and sees her three sugar-daddy older brothers.

(Kneeling and sliding over) Give me money! I want to keep the villain who'll kill our whole family in the future!

Jiang Yanli has been despised since birth. His past is nothing but darkness, and his future holds no light. His cold detachment is how he rejects the world.

He should hate Xu Wu. Hate her humiliation, hate her constant pursuit.

But when he discovers she has started keeping another man,

he, who has always claimed to hate Xu Wu, goes mad and pulls her into his arms, his eyes bloodshot.

"Why look for someone else? Am I still not enough like him?"

Then...

The only light in his dark life dies in his arms before he can even hold on to her.

After Xu Wu goes to great lengths to drive Jiang Yanli into darkness, she successfully completes her mission, fakes her death, and returns home.

Less than a month later, she is kidnapped and brought back.

System: The villain's gone crazy! He nearly killed the male and female leads! Hurry! Give him warmth! Win him over! Make this a redemption story!

Xu Wu: ...?

Behind her, the man who now wields immense power pulls her into his arms, possessive and unhinged, madness repressed in his eyes.

"I've caught you. How do you want to play this time?"
