The Villain Won't Play by the Rules—Kidnapping a System to Work for Him

share time: 2026-01-19 00:35:10

Gu Zhao, a powerful minister in ancient times, was destined to be a cannon-fodder villain. But he awakened and refused to accept his fate of dying. To reverse his ending, he hijacked Xiaotang—a future system originally meant to help the "protagonist" cheat—and forced it to work for him: evading the emperor's suspicion, taking down enemies who framed him, and secretly pursuing Su Wan, the prime minister's daughter (who had long harbored feelings for him). However, Xiaotang gradually discovers that Gu Zhao isn't the cruel villain rumored to be; he hides ledgers for helping refugees and protects border towns despite public scorn. As Xiaotang works for him, she quietly falls in love with this "disobedient" villain. Just as Gu Zhao is about to marry Su Wan and secure his power, the system suddenly alerts "Mission Failed"—it turns out that Xiaotang is the one Gu Zhao was meant to "conquer" all along?
