He Willingly Took the Bait

Shen Zhiyi wakes up inside a book as its villainess, bound to a system that tells her how the story ends for her: abuse, then death. She drops the worthless ex-boyfriend the plot assigned her and goes after Lu Junyue, the unhinged antagonist, on purpose and without subtlety. She tears into the sweet-faced foster sister with her hands, kicks the ex out of her way, and refuses to be quiet about any of it. Lu Junyue is obsessive and violent and falls for her anyway. What she began as calculation turns into something forced and mutual, and it deepens through plots against them, through tests he sets her, and through the times he stands in front of her. She has been faking a pregnancy. When that comes out he locks her up, and by then neither of them can get free of the other.
