Cen Lingqiu, a long-time employee of the Book Transmigration Bureau, takes on one final task before her retirement—preventing the female lead from committing suicide.

The female lead is beautiful but frail, with paralyzed legs, and is treated as a substitute for the male protagonist's lost love, locked away in his mountainside estate, forbidden from seeing anyone. Cen Lingqiu transmigrates into the body of the male protagonist’s sister, a vicious side character who constantly bullies the female lead, making her life miserable.

The system alerts Cen Lingqiu that the female lead has developed a severe self-destructive tendency. To advance the plot, Cen Lingqiu must prevent her suicide and reduce her self-destructive urges.

Yu Mingjiao, the female lead, is stunning but deeply depressed and world-weary. Cen Lingqiu dutifully ignores her coldness, takes her to watch sunsets, nurses her back to health, and shows her kindness.

After completing her mission and faking her death to leave, Cen Lingqiu is ready to retire when the system informs her that Yu Mingjiao's self-destructive tendencies have resurfaced, meaning her mission has failed.

Forced to return to Yu Mingjiao's side, Cen Lingqiu unexpectedly dies again. When she returns for the third time, she finds that the once melancholic and quiet female lead has turned into a complete lunatic—suffering from hallucinations and delusions, with an intense obsession with her. In a neurotic tone, Yu Mingjiao whispers:

Cen Lingqiu: “...”

Becoming the Male Protagonist's Villainous Sister

Cen Lingqiu crouched down, holding Yu Mingjiao's hand with one hand while using the other to hold the umbrella, shielding her from the rain.

Her tone was light and flat, devoid of emotion, like the calm surface of a lake on a cloudy day.

Yu Mingjiao recognized the person in front of her and immediately shook off her hand, her face displaying undisguised disgust.

Her expression was gloomy, and her voice was cold, "What do you want now?"

Cen Lingqiu didn't answer. "Let's go inside first," she said as she reached out to help her up. But Yu Mingjiao recoiled as if from something repulsive, refusing to let her touch her. Struggling, she propped herself up on her elbows, her snake-like cold eyes meeting Cen Lingqiu's gaze.

It was only then that Cen Lingqiu truly saw her face.

She was an exceptionally beautiful person.

With straight black hair cascading down her shoulders and back, and blunt bangs framing her face, her pale complexion was accentuated by the jet-black hair. Her eyes were almond-shaped with slightly upturned corners, giving them a touch of charm and allure.

Her irises were dark, and her long, thick lashes framed eyes that, despite their beauty, were lifeless—like a dead, frozen lake in the depths of winter.

She was stunning, yet utterly desolate, like a lifeless doll displayed in a shop window.

"Lin Qiu." Yu Mingjiao suddenly smiled, her expression strange and stiff. "Don't you hate me?"

"Why don't you just kill me?" Yu Mingjiao's voice was shockingly calm, almost terrifyingly so. "If I die, your precious little brother won't waste his time on a useless cripple like me."

Suddenly, a sharp electronic voice echoed in Cen Lingqiu's mind.

[Warning! The female lead's self-destructive tendencies have reached 90%. Host must take immediate action to reduce the level!]

Cen Lingqiu mentally replied, "Quiet."

The electronic voice obediently vanished.

"You're so young—why are you thinking about dying?" Cen Lingqiu said blandly, ignoring the female lead's resistance and firmly helping her back into the wheelchair. "The rain is getting heavier. Let's go inside; you'll catch a cold."

Yu Mingjiao resisted her touch with all her might, but her body was too weak. Though she was taller than Cen Lingqiu by a head, her frailty and the abuse she had endured left her powerless against her.

"Shut up." Yu Mingjiao glared at her coldly. "Why are you pretending to care? You burned my hand, left me here in the rain, and now you're spouting these hypocritical words. Lin Qiu, you're disgusting."

Faced with such an accusation, Cen Lingqiu had nothing to say. After all, these were objective facts, things that the real "Lin Qiu" had indeed done to her.
