Stop Overthinking It, I’m Really the Villainess!

After transmigrating into the daughter of a notorious corrupt official, Xu Qinghuan gets stuck with a system that promises her a way back to the modern world - as long as she wastes money, causes trouble, and proves she is truly wicked.

So she throws herself into villainess mode: sabotaging charity porridge, stirring up chaos, and spending a fortune on ridiculous projects. The problem? Everyone around her keeps wildly misreading her “evil plans” as brilliant acts of public service. Instead of getting punished or exiled, she accidentally makes the town richer, her father more powerful, and her own return home more impossible.
