I Became a Villainess in a Novel, But I Won’t Be Your Wife

[1v1] [No System] [Marriage Before Love] [Serious] A hardworking office worker unexpectedly transmigrates into a novel as Shen Xi, the villainous supporting female character. The original Shen Xi was a wealthy heiress who had returned to China and entered a contract marriage with Gu Hanling, a powerful heir of an elite family. However, she remained obsessed with the novel’s male lead, Shi Jingyan. As the villainous supporting character, her fate was tragic. Abandoned by the Gu family and ultimately destroyed by the male and female leads’ revenge. Now that Shen Xi has taken over this body, she has no intention of repeating the same mistakes. Upon learning about the contract, which only requires her to stay out of Gu Hanling’s way— (Shen Xi: “That’s perfect! (°∀°)b”) —She realizes that all she needs to do is act as a decorative wife for two years and walk away with a hefty fortune. So, in front of Gu Hanling, she continues the act of being infatuated with the male lead. Meanwhile, in public, she distances herself from Shi Jingyan and maintains the perfect image of a dignified Mrs. Gu. Her goal? Stay far, far away from the troublesome male and female leads who are destined to ruin her life. But things don’t go as planned. Even worse, the supposedly indifferent and cold Gu Hanling starts looking at her in a way that feels… off. One night, when Shen Xi returned to the villa and had just stepped through the door, she was suddenly pinned against the wall by a drunken Gu Hanling. “What are you doing?? You’re drunk?!” She tries to push him away, but he doesn’t budge. “I don’t care who you are. If you go looking for Shi Jingyan again… I’ll make the Shi family disappear.” …Huh??? Huh?! Σ(°Д° )
