“I was supposed to be the villainess in his story—until I rewrote the script.”

Lin Chaoxi accidentally activates a mysterious “Villainess System” that transports her into a novel she once read. Her mission? Sabotage the female lead and fall in love with the male lead… or be erased.

But nothing goes according to plan—especially when the cold and distant CEO, Shen Muyan, starts remembering things he was never supposed to.

In a world where the plot resets, the system punishes feelings, and love could mean deletion, Lin Chaoxi must make an impossible choice:

Follow the script. Or follow her heart.

A love that breaks rules. A system on the verge of collapse. And a villainess who refuses to lose.

The Villainess System Made Me His Wife

The next morning, Lin Chaoxi received the name of her "romantic rival": Jiang Zixuan—a rising young actor, famous for his easy charm and flirtatious smile. Coincidentally (or not), he was also cast as her on-screen partner in their upcoming drama.

"System Notice: Mission progress begins now. Make the male lead jealous. Deadline: 24 hours."

She stared at the message and took a deep breath.

She wasn't sure which part of this was worse—being forced to manipulate someone again, or realizing she no longer wanted to.

They were filming a modern romance drama, and today's scene required physical closeness. Jiang Zixuan leaned in, brushing her hair back for the take, his smile as effortless as always.

"Is it just me, or are you glowing today?" he teased quietly.

"Must be the lighting," she replied smoothly, keeping her tone light. But she could already feel the weight of someone's gaze.

Across the set, Shen Muyan stood with his arms crossed, watching them. He wasn't smiling.

She turned her head and met his eyes—only for a second—but it was enough.

After the scene, Jiang Zixuan leaned against the wall beside her during break, still playful.

"I heard you and CEO Shen know each other off-screen?"

"We've worked together," she said vaguely.

"Worked together, huh?" He tilted his head, eyes narrowing. "He's been staring at you all day like he's ready to kill someone."

She shrugged. "I wouldn't read too much into it."

But deep down, she was already unsettled. Because the longer she kept playing this game, the less it felt like a mission, and more like a trap.

Chaoxi was gathering her things when the door opened.

Shen Muyan stepped inside. Silent. Cold. But something about him was… charged.

"You and Jiang Zixuan seem close," he said, casually.

"That's all?" His voice was low. Almost dangerous.

She raised a brow. "Are you… jealous?"

His eyes narrowed, but he didn't deny it.

Instead, he stepped closer. "I don't like being played with, Lin Chaoxi."

Her heart thudded painfully. "Neither do I."

Then he asked, quieter, almost bitter, "So what are we? Just another part of your performance?"

System Warning: Host's emotional instability detected. Mission success: 91%. Recommendation: withdraw immediately to avoid affection overflow.

"Shut up," she muttered under her breath, ignoring the system. "Just shut up for once."

She looked at him—really looked—and her walls finally cracked.

"I didn't ask for this," she whispered. "I didn't want to fall for you."

For a moment, the air between them froze. Neither of them spoke.

Then he said, quietly but firmly, "But you did."

A dangerous game
