Lu Jiao transmigrated into a novel, bound to a "redemption system." The original character was a minor cannon fodder working tirelessly to antagonize the main villain, Mu Yuan, along with others who were all eventually manipulated by him—ending up dead without a whole corpse after offending everyone. At this point, the high schooler Mu Yuan hasn’t yet grown into the future villain—a man of immense power, devastating beauty, and a heart of ice. Lu Jiao: ...Is it too late to run now? To survive, Lu Jiao decides to earn the villain’s trust while treading carefully around future bigshots who despise her, striving to reinvent herself. However, midway through her redemption act, the system glitches inexplicably. Seizing the chance, Lu Jiao flees with the system’s rewards, happily returning home to laze around. But her peaceful days don’t last long. One day she wakes up—only to find herself back, six years after her escape. Now, Mu Yuan has not only become the ultimate villain who moves clouds and rain with a flip of his hand but has grown even more ruthless than in the original novel. Lu Jiao: Am I still dreaming? Mu Yuan: (pulling her into his arms for a kiss) Awake now? --- ["You passed by my window like a bird in flight, unaware that from then on, I held one thought."] ["I wanted to lock you away."] --- A possessive, ice-cold yet later genuinely tender villainous beauty × a carefree, slow-witted optimist who just wants to go home. **Reading Guide:** 1. Over-the-top wish-fulfillment fluff—from universally disliked to beloved. The female lead is a goofball. 2. 1v1, older male lead, HE. The age gap widens later. 3. Mu Yuan is a true villain in the novel—no redeeming qualities upfront. Features "regretful chasing," so click 'x' if not your taste~
