Transmigrating to Woo the Villainous Young Lady - Chapter 6

Warm breath brushed against Shen Li’s delicate neck, sending shivers down her spine. Her breathing grew shallow.

Fu Guiyi truly lived up to her reputation as the ultimate Villain Boss in the novel. Her terrifying aura was unmatched.

I… I understand, Shen Li stammered, barely daring to raise her voice, terrified of displeasing the Eldest Miss.

Fu Guiyi had a peculiar flaw she insisted on adorning everything she loved with exquisite embellishments.

Once, her father’s subordinates gifted her a jade cabbage. Dissatisfied with its base, Fu Guiyi replaced it with hundreds of different jade cabbage bases.

In short, she was a bit eccentric.

But this was perfectly normal villains were born with inherent flaws.

So, when she saw Shen Li’s plump, rosy earlobes last night, a thought flashed through her mind If she wore earrings…

It would look stunning.

Your ears are too plain. I’ll have Wen Qing select some beautiful earrings for you.

Fu Guiyi raised her hand. Unlike the delicate, pampered hands of typical young ladies, hers bore faint calluses—a testament to her lifelong martial training.

Later in the novel, she would even wield a massive cleaver, chasing after the female lead with murderous intent.

This servant doesn’t need such fine things… Shen Li lowered her head, afraid to meet the Eldest Miss’s gaze.

Meanwhile, the System in her mind was going berserk.

Host!

How could you refuse Fu Guiyi’s kindness? Accepting her offer will increase your Strategy Value!

The System had already been built, and it was dreaming of receiving the Headquarters’ Outstanding System Award.

But its Host was even more timid than a mouse, which infuriated it to no end!

If I say you need it, then you need it!

Fu Guiyi frowned slightly. Why wouldn’t this little maid just follow her wishes?

However, given how incredibly warm the maid’s body was, Fu Guiyi temporarily suppressed her annoyance at the warm bedmaid’s defiance.

Re-piercing your ears might hurt a little, so I’ve prepared some anesthetic for you. It’s what I use during military campaigns—it won’t hurt at all.

With that, Fu Guiyi descended the steps, leaving Shen Li standing there in a daze.

Why does it feel like Fu Guiyi is dressing me up like a doll?

But just as Fu Guiyi had promised, after applying the anesthetic, it really didn’t hurt at all.

Shen Li wasn’t afraid of pain.

However, her ears would likely need a few days to heal before she could wear earrings again.

So, for the rest of her time, Shen Li pondered how to increase Fu Guiyi’s favorability points.

Fu Guiyi was far too intelligent. If Shen Li tried too deliberately to raise her favorability, she would be noticed immediately.

The System’s previous Hosts had all met the same untimely end.

With so many failed examples staring her in the face, Shen Li dared not attempt such a risky strategy.

Her only hope lay in her face. Her beauty was undeniable even as a child in school, countless talent scouts had approached her.

But back then, Shen Li had no ambition to become a star. Instead, she was utterly devoted to the one-yuan fried skewers sold outside the school gate.

System, if you want me to complete this conquest, you should at least give me some hints, right?

After racking her brain for ages without success, Shen Li finally demanded answers from the System, her tone laced with veiled threat. The implication was clear if the System refused to cooperate, she would simply give up.

Host, I apologize, but the conquest strategy must be devised by you, the Player.

If we forcibly interfere with this world’s timeline, it could distort the entire reality.

The System explained regretfully.

Not even a tiny spoiler?

Before transmigrating, Shen Li had already probed the current year. According to the timeline, Fu Guiyi and the male lead hadn’t even met yet.

The two were only engaged.

Because they disliked each other, both considered calling off the engagement.

However, the story then took a more Mary Sue turn. Fu Guiyi was rescued by the male lead during an accident and fell deeply in love with him, deciding to marry him and withdraw her intention to break off the engagement.

When the novel’s plot reached this point, the comments section erupted in outrage, overwhelmingly sympathizing with the male lead.

Fu Guiyi was denounced as a desperate woman, criticized for wanting to repay a simple rescue with her entire life, a foolish and outdated notion.

Shen Li couldn’t stand it and even argued with the male lead’s fans.

Now, she strongly suspected that her defense of Fu Guiyi back then might have been the reason the System chose her as the Player.

Therefore, Shen Li offered a gentle reminder to everyone

Leave comments with caution.

If it’s just a little, I suppose I can allow it.

The System hesitated for a moment before granting the Host’s request. It had no choice Shen Li’s Strategy Value was progressing too slowly. If it continued to accompany her in this world, its bonus would likely be completely deducted by Headquarters.

Why didn’t you say so earlier?

Shen Li was speechless. The System could reveal plot spoilers? Why hadn’t it mentioned this earlier? If she’d known about this ability, she might not have had to wait three years.

You never asked…

Besides, too many spoilers would be bad. What if Headquarters gets mad at me…?

The System started rambling again.

Shen Li, tired of listening, cut it off abruptly.

Get to the point. What important event is happening tomorrow? I need to prepare and grind Fu Guiyi’s Strategy Value.

Shen Li was the type who would stay put if she wasn’t moving, but once she decided to act, she couldn’t stand being idle.

Tomorrow, Fu Guiyi will go hunting. General Fu’s enemies will attempt an assassination. Host, this is your perfect opportunity for a heroic rescue!

Shen Li ……

Are you sure I won’t get my head chopped off by Fu Guiyi’s enemies?

Of course not! With me here, what are you afraid of?!

The System assured her cheerfully. If it could save Shen Li once, it could certainly do so again.

As for Fu Guiyi, there was no need to worry about her. The girl had the Villain Boss halo—she couldn’t die no matter how much she suffered. After all, she had to survive until the end to become the male and female leads’ ultimate trial.

Shen Li grilled the System for more details, then mentally devised a plan to grind Fu Guiyi’s Strategy Value.

However, before she could refine her strategy, a knock sounded at the door.

Coming, Shen Li replied, opening the door to find Xu Wenqing standing there in her signature blue maid’s uniform.

The Eldest Miss wants you to wait for her at the bathhouse.

Shen Li’s heart skipped a beat.

The bathhouse? Isn’t that where people bathe?

In the novel, Fu Guiyi fiercely resisted being alone with anyone, let alone having someone serve her during her bath. Fu Guiyi always insisted on handling such matters herself.

If you’re told to go, then go. What are you standing around for? Xu Wenqing’s tone was sharp and urgent. If you displease the Eldest Miss, you’ll end up like those maids who were punished this morning.

As Shen Li listened, she sensed something was off. Why did the Head Maid seem so jealous of her?

Could it be that Fu Guiyi asked me to go to the bathhouse but not her?

Though suspicious, Shen Li didn’t dare voice her doubts. She nodded and stepped out of the room.

The moment she crossed the threshold, the ever-present gaze that had been following her vanished.

This confirmed Shen Li’s suspicions the Head Maid was indeed jealous of her.
