Forced to Become the Female Villain's Doting Wife (GL) - Chapter 1

“Su Xianxian?!”

A voice, beautiful to the extreme but laden with suppressed, hidden anger, rang out next to Su Xianxian’s ear.

Though the low sound wasn’t perfectly clear, she could still distinguish that it was an incredibly pleasing, mature-sounding voice.

It was extremely comfortable for Su Xianxian’s ears.

••••

Su Xianxian felt like she was dreaming.

Su Xianxian was an ordinary, “three-no” working-class orphan: no money, no house, and no parents.

She had a job that barely allowed her to support herself.

Her only hobby after work was hiding under her blanket late at night to read extremely complicated (bent like a paperclip) novels.

And they had to be wish-fulfillment, “feel-good” novels (Shuangwen).

Su Xianxian had always been clear about her sexual orientation.

She was half-awake, curled up under her blanket late at night.

She didn’t forget to lament that the cannon fodder side character in the first three chapters of this book shared her name. Did she need to recite the entire text in preparation for transmigrating into it?

Too sleepy, Su Xianxian just read the first half, skipped to the ending, and prepared to sleep.

[System: Congratulations, Host, on arriving in the world of the book.]

Su Xianxian, who was drowsy from staying up late reading, closed and then opened her eyes, and the scene before her suddenly transformed.

Now, Su Xianxian was in a bright, spacious classroom, with a comfortable breeze, the sounds of small conversations, general noise, and the rustling of book pages.

She was currently sitting on a chair, backside sticking out, completely restless.

Her body was bonelessly slumped over the desk, her face resting on her arm, and her right hand held a pen, scribbling what looked like ghost-writing on the desk.

None of that mattered. What was important was that Su Xianxian could clearly feel a fierce gaze fixed on her from her right side.

A gaze that looked like it wanted to drill holes in her face!

That gaze was not just fierce; it carried a coldness that could freeze a person into an ice cube.

Su Xianxian’s neck stiffened as if choked. Her body mechanically straightened up, immediately sitting properly, becoming unbelievably well-behaved.

She then woodenly turned her head to the right, intending to figure out the source of that gaze.

Swoosh. The moment she saw the face next to her, the text descriptions in Su Xianxian’s mind instantly overlapped with this face.

Aloof and ethereal, those half-closed phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and slightly pursed lips. The thin lips carried a slight flush of blood, and the entire face was so pale it reflected light. Her skin was tender like a freshly boiled egg, translucent and clear.

It truly was a stunning beauty’s face. The face shape was the standard “melon seed” (oval), and coupled with those outstanding features on a small, palm-sized face, even her strands of hair were perfect. Her hair was thick and dark, and she even had a “beauty’s peak” (widow’s peak) on her forehead.

Only because she was still young, the slightly aggressive features still carried a trace of youthfulness. Though one could feel her coldness upon first sight, it wasn’t yet overwhelming sharp.

Ji… Jiang Cuo?!

This appearance—wasn’t it the main Female Villain from the novel she had stayed up late reading last night?

Although the novel mainly described the story of the sweet Female Lead’s step-by-step rise from the bottom of the entertainment industry to a top star, the Female Villain Jiang Cuo had an incredibly large amount of page space.

The book could practically be renamed The Life of Jiang Cuo!

[System: Host, you can wake up now and accept the fact that you have transmigrated into the book! Your identity is Su Xianxian, the rich second-generation daughter of the city’s wealthiest man.]

Su Xianxian’s apricot-shaped eyes widened into huge apricot-shaped eyes.

They were filled with disbelief and panic.

Su Xianxian stared blankly at Jiang Cuo next to her.

At first glance, it looked a bit like the idiotic stare of a deeply devoted fan (dog lick).

And Jiang Cuo’s phoenix eyes slowly showed impatience. Her elegant, slender eyebrows gently furrowed.

Su Xianxian: This… is this reasonable?

Su Xianxian felt all the blood in her body being chilled by those half-closed, dangerous phoenix eyes.

Only her mind was spinning wildly.

Su Xianxian desperately tried to recall the various plots involving the cannon fodder side character with the same name.

But this was too much to ask!

Because… the cannon fodder side character in the book only lived for the first three chapters!

In short, the relationship between the two of them could be described as very hostile.

However, even in this awkward situation, Su Xianxian could sense the curious and scrutinizing glances of the surrounding classmates focused on her and Jiang Cuo.

The values setting of this book was extremely bizarre; everyone in the entire book was “romance-brained” (obsessed with romance).

In this book, whoever was more unrestrained and braver for love would be supported by everyone!

She had watched it because she found this setting novel.

The reason Jiang Cuo became the big villain was that she never showed any emotion from the first chapter to the end; she was desireless, cold to the extreme, and thus was ostracized as an anomaly.

The reason the Female Lead became the Female Lead was that the pure, sweet Female Lead carved out a path in a world of “romance-brains” and set an example for career-oriented women.

But essentially, wasn’t it because her sweet looks attracted many female fans who called her ‘wife’?

Su Xianxian felt she was also a superficial person; she liked it too, and she also wanted to call someone ‘wife.’

Sure enough, the biggest difference between the Female Villain and the Female Lead was that the Female Lead had the Female Lead’s halo.

So, in this awkward situation, what was the exact line from the first three chapters?

“Oh my goodness, as expected of Su Xianxian! She actually dares to blatantly copy Jiang Cuo’s homework right in front of her.”

Two classmates who shipped the couple were whispering nearby.

The sound wasn’t loud, but it was just enough for Su Xianxian to hear.

“That’s nothing! You haven’t seen the most ridiculous part. Su Xianxian even wanted Jiang Cuo to do her homework for her!”

Su Xianxian instantly recalled the plot that was briefly mentioned in the first three chapters.

She had tried to provoke Jiang Cuo by not doing her homework and even wanted Jiang Cuo to be her laborer, attempting to use money to make Jiang Cuo submit.

But how could the great Female Villain be ordinary? She had been a person of integrity and honesty since childhood.

[System: Congratulations, Host, you have received a hint from Jiang Cuo’s proximity.]

What was all this?

Su Xianxian’s mind was a chaotic mess, but her eyes could clearly see the “Disgust Value” displayed above Jiang Cuo’s head.

The Disgust Value was continuously increasing.

[System: Host, please take action immediately to stop Jiang Cuo’s Disgust Value from increasing.]

Su Xianxian certainly didn’t want to be the cannon fodder side character who was eliminated in the first three chapters.

So, she immediately put on a standard, fawning, boot-licking smile used to flatter a leader.

“Great Study Committee Member Jiang, Great Class Monitor Jiang, please don’t look at me like that! I borrowed your homework not to steal knowledge, but simply to admire your beautiful and elegant handwriting.”

Su Xianxian’s pink and translucent lips opened and closed.

The words she spoke instantly silenced the entire class.

There was no helping it; everyone was very simple, just ordinary high school seniors.

The arrogant, rich second-generation heir saying such a submissive thing truly surprised everyone.

Even Jiang Cuo was visibly stunned, her finger resting on the desk pausing for a moment.

However, the disgust in her eyes did not lessen.

“Oh?”

Su Xianxian heard that deep, pleasant, mature voice again.

But that simple “oh” instantly made her heart jump wildly, and all the fine hairs on her body stood up.

Was this the aura suppression from the future great Female Villain?

“Classmate Su called me ‘Great Class Monitor Jiang’ and ‘Great Study Committee Member Jiang’? Didn’t Classmate Su once say she hated my official, powerful manner the most?”

Jiang Cuo’s phoenix eyes stared at Su Xianxian’s almond eyes, as if she could instantly see into the depths of a person’s heart.

Even though Jiang Cuo was sitting and leaning slightly sideways, Su Xianxian could sense the tall figure wrapped beneath Jiang Cuo’s oversized school uniform.

The sharp chin visible outside the collar of the uniform showed that this person was truly perfect to the extreme, every part seemingly carefully sculpted by God.

Su Xianxian immediately forced an awkward smile.

Her apricot eyes curved like crescent moons, shining brightly as if light were flowing within them.

“Alas, why would Classmate Jiang say such a thing?

We are desk-mates after all, and friction between desk-mates is inevitable. I’m a transfer student and don’t quite understand the class rules, so Classmate Jiang, please bear with me.

But I am just naturally proud (tsundere); I understand things in my heart but can’t say them with my mouth. It’s all because of my clumsy mouth.

Of course, I understand that Classmate Jiang supervises me to do and submit my homework for my own good, to help me study hard and strive for progress. I understand Classmate Jiang’s good intentions.”

Su Xianxian quickly closed Jiang Cuo’s exercise book and respectfully placed it on Jiang Cuo’s desk.

“Classmate Jiang, I was just joking earlier, it was all an illusion, it’s over now.”

However, Su Xianxian’s sudden switch to a fawning attitude naturally wouldn’t convince Jiang Cuo, whose scrutinizing gaze became even sharper.

“Classmate Su just now wanted me to help her with her homework. Was that also an illusion?”

Su Xianxian couldn’t stand the Female Leader’s rhetorical questions.

They were like deadly curved knives, attempting to hook her to death.

Su Xianxian immediately sobered her expression, stood up straight, and faced Jiang Cuo.

“Classmate Jiang Cuo, I don’t know why my words and actions have given you such a bad impression, but there are less than 200 days left until the college entrance exam. The exam is a major life event for every student, and I will study hard.

I will not make the low-level mistake of copying homework again. Learning is for oneself; knowledge is only truly yours when it enters your own mind, so others cannot take it.”

Su Xianxian stared intently at the Disgust Value above Jiang Cuo’s head, carefully considering every word she spoke.

She saw that the increase in Jiang Cuo’s Disgust Value had slowed down.

It finally stopped increasing after she finished her last sentence, stabilizing.

But nearby, the whispers of other female classmates suddenly rose again.

Even without turning her head, Su Xianxian could feel the light of gossip shining from their eyes.

“Oh my God, oh my God, why is this suddenly shippable? The rich second-generation underachiever has turned over a new leaf and is going to conquer the aloof, top-tier study genius?”

Su Xianxian:?!

What was wrong with these kids?

In high school, they weren’t thinking about studying; their minds were full of romance and shipping couples!

[System: Friendly reminder, Host, all “romance-brained” characters appearing in this book are over 18 years old and comply with the book’s setting.]

Su Xianxian: …

She naturally wouldn’t misunderstand, but what if Jiang Cuo heard it?

The Female Villain had absolutely no feelings in her heart!

Her heart was made of solid ice.

She absolutely could not let Jiang Cuo misunderstand!

Su Xianxian’s eyes were unusually serious. She held up three fingers over her head, as if taking an oath to the heavens, “Classmate Jiang, every word I just said is genuinely heartfelt. If there is a single lie, or if I cause Classmate Jiang any more trouble, let me never find a wife in this lifetime!”

Yikes?!

Among the “romance-brained” crowd, Su Xianxian’s declaration was truly equivalent to being struck by lightning.

Su Xianxian saw the Disgust Value above Jiang Cuo’s head stabilize at 88 and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

And the look of disgust on Jiang Cuo’s face also changed to an unremarkable, wave-less expression of not wanting to be bothered.

Su Xianxian finally let out a long breath.

However, the next second, as she tried to sit back down in her chair, her legs were numb from standing too long and being too nervous.

When she took a step forward, she accidentally tripped over the table leg and fell straight into Jiang Cuo’s arms.

Su Xianxian watched as her nose was about to plunge into two fragrant mounds.
