Summary
Shi Man, once the top special agent in her organization, was supposed to enjoy a quiet retirement. Instead, betrayal struck. Surrounded and outnumbered, she fought to her last breath, taking her enemies down with her. But death wasn’t the end—she awoke in the body of a novel’s infamous villainess.
This new identity came with everything: wealth, power, and an influential family that adored her. Her overprotective mother and brothers spoiled her beyond reason, and she was even betrothed to the male lead since birth.
Yet, the original owner of this body squandered her perfect life. Obsessed with the male lead, she tormented the female protagonist, desperate for his attention. But instead of winning his heart, she only provoked his wrath. In the novel’s plot, he cast her into the colosseum, where she met a gruesome end. Her devastated family retaliated, only to be crushed in the aftermath.
But this time? Shi Man wasn’t playing by the script.
Without hesitation, she severed ties with the male lead, calling off the engagement and declaring they were strangers from now on. She even compensated the female lead for past grievances, making it clear she had zero interest in drama.
Just as she planned to live freely and enjoy her second chance, the world refused to let her be.
The male lead, once indifferent, now pursued her relentlessly.
The side characters who never gave her a second glance were suddenly vying for her favor.
Even the female lead wanted to befriend her instead of fighting her.
Watching the growing crowd of admirers around Shi Man, her fiercely protective family exploded with rage—
“She’s OUR Shi Man! Back off!”
