“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

Chapter 38: "You Can't Hide Forever"

The kiss ended, but the storm in Shen Muyan's eyes hadn't passed.

He stared at her, his thumb gently brushing the corner of her lips. "That kiss… didn't feel like the first lie you've told me."

Zhaoxi stiffened. The room still carried the warmth of his touch, but his tone sent a chill through her veins.

"You say you're still you," he murmured, voice low and unreadable. "But I don't even know who you really are anymore."

She didn't speak. Because she didn't have an answer.

[System Alert]: Deadline in 14 hours. Task incomplete. Risk of memory reset at 78%.

Required Action: Male lead must publicly confess feelings before media or witnesses.

Her phone vibrated, almost like a warning shot.

It was a message from her manager:

"Tomorrow's press event at 2PM confirmed. Director Xu and Shen Muyan will both attend. Be prepared for interviews."

If she failed to trigger a public confession tomorrow, the system might wipe everything—not just from Shen Muyan's memory, but hers too.

She turned to face him. "Are you coming to the press event tomorrow?"

His eyes flicked over her face. "Why wouldn't I?"

"I just…" She paused, then smiled faintly. "Want to make sure I'm not the only one standing on that stage."

Something flickered in his eyes—soft, almost regretful. But it vanished too quickly.

"You'll be fine," he said simply. "You always know how to steal the spotlight."

She wanted to ask what he meant by that. But instead, she whispered, "Would you say something for me? Tomorrow?"

"Something true. Something only you would say… if you weren't angry at me."

[System Note]: Public confession opportunity detected. Tracking behavior. Monitoring emotional cues.

She walked past him, heading for the door.

But just as her hand touched the doorknob, his voice stopped her cold.

"If you're not Lin Zhaoxi," he said quietly, "then who the hell are you?"

Because at that moment—she didn't know, either.
