The Villain Decides to Go on Strike [Transmigration]

Summary:

The main character, Luo Xiying, transmigrates into a novel and becomes the villain, doing so for two lifetimes.

First Life: She diligently follows the villain’s script, even secretly saving the female lead from accidents while trying to facilitate the relationship between the male and female leads to finish the story and go home. However, after being tortured to death by the male lead as per the script, she wakes up again, back at the scene where she was deliberately bullying the female lead.

Second Life: Fearing the painful death, Luo Xiying decides to “wash white” by becoming a “deeply devoted villain”—the kind who is so obsessively in love with the female lead (Mu Qinghan) that they become a twisted stalker. Her plan is that once the female lead and male lead get together, she can simply be heartbroken, have a moment of epiphany, let go, and safely retire.

However, the female lead, Mu Qinghan, takes her seriously. She drops her “gentle beauty” act and constantly corners Luo Xiying, acting very forward (“kissing, hugging, making out”), like a “high-quality knockoff.” Mu Qinghan asks, “Sweetheart, want to play a game of hearts?”

After being cornered again, Luo Xiying decides to go on strike. She resolves that a villain with dignity cannot be won over so easily by the female lead. She declares, “So, I’ve decided to resign first, and then win the female lead over!”

Mu Qinghan’s Perspective: She knows Luo Xiying is a liar—acting deeply in love while secretly fearing and disliking her, and intentionally doing things that should make Mu Qinghan hate her. Mu Qinghan finds this “cute” and irresistible to tease. Initially, she thought, “It’s just acting; I’m a professional too.” But later, she realizes she might have gotten too “into the role.”

One-Sentence Summary: A bloody romance story where two liars flirt with each other and end up putting their own hearts on the line.
