“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 hall was blinding under the spotlights, cameras clicking like machine guns. Lin Zhaoxi stood poised on stage, her lips curved into a professional smile, but her hands were ice cold.

Beside her, Shen Muyan looked perfect as ever—immaculate in his suit, calm in demeanor, unreadable in expression.

[System Warning]: Final countdown initiated.

Target: Male lead must publicly express romantic intent.

The host turned toward the two of them, microphone in hand. "This film isn't just about love on screen," he said, smiling at the audience. "There have been rumors… Mr. Shen, care to comment?"

Zhaoxi's heart pounded. Her eyes flicked to Shen Muyan, praying he would say something—anything.

The audience chuckled nervously. A few reporters stood up, one of them calling out, "Mr. Shen, your chemistry with Miss Lin was remarkable. Many fans are hoping it's real. Could you tell us—do you feel anything for her off screen?"

His gaze lingered—not cold, not warm. Just… deep. Searching.

"I don't comment on rumors," he said finally.

The crowd laughed, disappointed. The host tried to recover, moving on to the next question.

Memory reset protocol initializing.

Zhaoxi clenched her fists. She couldn't let it end like this.

Suddenly, she stepped forward and took the microphone. The room went still.

"If I may…" Her voice didn't shake, though her heart did. "I just want to say one thing."

"I don't care what the script says, or what's real or fake," she said slowly. "But I know how I feel."

"Even if this is just for show… I still hoped—just once—you'd say something honest."

Shen Muyan's expression didn't change.

But something flickered in his eyes.

He walked toward her, took the mic from her hand—and for one breathless moment, the entire hall held its breath.

Then he leaned in slightly, not touching, but close enough that only she could hear.

"I don't say things I'm not sure of," he murmured. "But you're starting to make me unsure of everything."

He turned back to the audience and said aloud:

"She's unpredictable. Irritating. And constantly tests my limits."

[System Update]: Mission complete. Memory safe. Emotional connection progressing.

Zhaoxi stood frozen, staring at him.

Leaving her—and the rest of the world—stunned.
