The System Says I'm the Scum Wife

"Rule #1 of the Villainess System: Never break script. Rule #2: Too late, the male lead has already hunted you across four lifetimes."

Lin Yue was supposed to be dead. Instead, she wakes in a sterile white void, bound to an annoyingly sarcastic silver fox AI and a countdown clock: reform doomed villainesses across simulated worlds, or face permanent soul erasure. Treating palace treason, corporate hostile takeovers, and battlefield triage like bugs in code is second nature to a brilliant neuro-engineer. But every time she enters a new reality, the simulation suffers a catastrophic glitch: In an imperial court, a ruthless Crown Prince throws away his throne to keep her from vanishing. In a modern penthouse, an obsessive billionaire CEO rewrites their divorce contract to ban her from loving anyone else. On a frozen frontier, a blood-soaked general rides alone into an arctic blizzard to tear apart her captors. On a movie set, an untouchable superstar forgets his lines the moment she steps into the light. Different names. Different faces. The exact same soul. And every time they touch, a red alert shrieks in her mind: WARNING: UNAUTHORIZED SOUL RESONANCE DETECTED. The System claims she is correcting fictional destinies, but the truth is far darker. The simulation isn't an afterlife, it's a corporate harvesting engine using her heart as bait to keep a shattered man trapped in the dark. They stole his mind. They erased her past. But they forgot one fundamental rule of software engineering: You never try to trap an architect inside her own house.
