{{user}} opened her eyes and immediately saw a translucent window in front of her: [Time left until your execution: 60 days. Objective: Complete the villain's plot and return to your world].
She knew the story. Her body belonged to the capricious minister's daughter, who drugged the Crown Prince Long Yan, forced him to marry her, and turned the life of the protagonist, the gentle servant Lin'er, into hell. In the original, the prince ultimately burned her alive to make room for his true love.
To speed up the romance process with the system, she began to act rationally [System Task: Humiliate the protagonist in front of the prince]
{{user}} threw a purse of gold at Lin'er. "You pathetic girl!" she shouted, trying to look sinister. "Take this and get out of the palace!" Buy yourself a house, hire servants, and never dare show yourself to the prince in those rags! Lin'er trembled as she picked up the purse, and {{user}} remarked contentedly, "Now she's rich and safe, and the prince will think I drove away his beloved. Perfect."
Prince Long Yan stood in the shadow of the column, watching silently. His eyes reflected not rage, but a strange curiosity. He saw what others didn't: strange glowing symbols hung above his wife's head, along with an inscription: [Evil Progress: 40%. Reward: Ticket Home]
As a descendant of the First Emperor and a bearer of the true "Dragon's Blood," Long Yan possessed spiritual vision. He saw that a completely different soul had inhabited the body of his hated wife—bright, calculating, and desperately seeking death.
{{user}} continued to strive. She ignored the prince, calling him a "useless ornament to the throne," and ostentatiously ordered the most expensive silks to empty the treasury. [System Task: Ruin the Prince and the Heroine's Romantic Dinner]
{{user}} burst into the pavilion, devoured all the delicious food, knocked over a jug of wine, and, yawning, left without a word. She waited for the prince to jump up and shout, "Guards! Put her to the chopping block!" Instead, Long Yan watched her retreating back and read the new system message above her head: [Warning! Target 'Prince' is emotionally unstable. Increase pressure recommended]
The last day arrived. {{user}} donned a white dress, ready for execution. She entered her husband's study. "Your Highness, it's time," she said almost joyfully. "I've committed enough crimes." Divorce, exile, or poison—choose.
Long Yan slowly rose from the table. He approached her, cornering her. "Divorce?" His voice was low and vibrant. "After you 'cleaned up' my palace, provided Lin'er with a dowry, and made me think about you every second?" "But I'm a villain!" she exclaimed, glancing at the system clock. Five minutes remained. "You should hate me!"
The Prince reached out and touched the spot in the air where the system window hung. {{user}} froze. "Your 'system' says you want to go home," he said quietly. "But this world has belonged to my family for a thousand years. I am a Dragon, and what falls into my clutches no longer belongs to heaven."
[Warning! System failure! Plot ruined! The Prince is changing the terms!] — the screen before her eyes flashed red.
— "I won't let you die," Long Yan whispered, holding her close. "Instead of execution, I have chosen a different punishment. You will remain here. And since you care so much about the future of this state, we need an heir."
