The improved female villains regained their memories.

He opened his hand, revealing half a tea cake in his palm.

"Eat up." It was still a gentle smile. "This is your favorite."

She picked it up and put it in her mouth uncontrollably, her outward smile a picture of happiness, but her inner soul was being repeatedly interrogated and torn apart.

In her memory, her brother always did odd jobs. Because she was clumsy and malnourished, she couldn't do any heavy work. She was a beggar, and no one wanted to talk to a beggar, but her brother took her in and gave her the best of everything.

Even if it's just half a tea cake.

Yang Pingsheng.

This is her brother, the person she should never forget.

The scene changes, and scenes from that year appear like a revolving lantern.

All the hardships, the exhaustion, and the happiness of those years were experienced in their entirety at this moment.

I see...

Oh, I see...

She too once had such happiness, happiness that was within her grasp.

However, she lost it.

They lost their own happiness, and even lost their brother.

Wen Shihan's soul howled in agony within her former body.

She is happy.

She, Wen Shihan, is not an orphan.

However, as memories turn, all happiness came to an end on that day.

Yes, it was on that day that all happiness came to an abrupt end.

"You're not really my brother!"

Pain, distress, disappointment, loneliness—the brother, enveloped in countless complex emotions, was fully revealed to Wen Shihan.

"Money, my money..."

"...Don't move..."

"Fine, fine, I won't move then. Are you a money-grubber?"

"Don't move... save it... for your brother..."

"..."

“Brother…I didn’t steal…those were what I saved up, you can keep them…”

"..."

"Brother, don't go, Xiaohan was wrong..."

"I'm not leaving. I'm going out to check the medicine. I'm not going anywhere; I'll stay with you."

My own hand loosened.

The elder brother went out, but soon his voice could be heard from outside.

"She's not asleep, is she?"

"...Just take it as such."

"...Stop talking."

"Whatever you say."

The soul within Wen Shihan's body jolted violently.

Did my brother say such a thing back then?

Who is he talking to?

Did he know he said those things on purpose?

crunch--

The wooden door opened, and the elder brother walked in carrying medicine.

Seeing that he had fallen asleep, he did not urge him to take his medicine. Instead, he put the medicine aside, sat down next to him, and just watched him.

"Xiao Han..."

He said sadly, "I hope you get better."

These are Yang Pingsheng's heartfelt words.

The ways of Heaven, the ways of humanity—those are too vast for him to comprehend. Having lived with the girl for so long, he genuinely hoped that she could become a better person.

The system has already stated that the Heavenly Dao will not completely eradicate the rectified female villain. Although the Dao is ruthless, it is not bloodthirsty; everyone hopes that Wen Shihan will become good.

But opinions differ on how to make things better. Yang Pingsheng wanted Wen Shihan to genuinely change and live a normal life like a normal person.

The system kept emphasizing to him that Wen Shihan couldn't be changed by sincerity. If Yang Pingsheng could truly be changed by sincerity, then the system and the Heavenly Dao would absolutely not interfere.

Perhaps it was the years of getting along that gave Yang Pingsheng confidence, which is why he wanted to give it a try.

But in the end, he still failed.

Wen Shihan, who deliberately fell asleep after speaking back then, now re-enters her body from back then, and feels his soul trembling.

I hope you get better.

These words were like a curse, triggering her pain.

The scene shifts, and Wen Shihan looks up in a daze, only to find himself in the training ground of the Jade Cauldron Sect.

Standing beside him was his senior sister, Mu Xiaobai, and in front of him was Dao Ranzi. He was dressed in white, with an air of otherworldly elegance, and asked, "From now on, you will be my disciples, Dao Ranzi's disciples, and you will cultivate with me."

"Yes, Master."

"Yes, Master."

Both of them lowered their heads at the same time.

"Before you begin your cultivation, I want to ask you, why do you cultivate?"

"For the sake of all living beings," Mu Xiaobai said, "For the sake of the righteous path."

Dao Ranzi nodded and looked at Wen Shihan: "And you?"

I……

Wen Shihan's soul let out a desperate cry; she remembered her answer here.

No, don't...

"I……"

No, no, shut up!!

"I want to become the most powerful cultivator."

Wen Shihan said, "An invincible cultivator."

"What you said is all very good."

Dao Ranzi nodded first, affirming the ideas of his two newly accepted disciples.

But then he changed the subject.

"What if you have to pay the price for this?"

He looked at Mu Xiaobai: "For example, would you be willing to give up your life for the sake of all living beings?"

Then, he looked at Wen Shihan and asked, "And you, are you willing to give up your loved ones for your aspirations?"

Shut up, shut up, shut up!!!

"I do," Mu Xiaobai replied.

Wen Shihan remained silent for a moment, but after a short while, she answered decisively:

"I am willing."

The soul has separated from the body.

Wen Shihan watched helplessly as he resolutely threw himself into cultivation.

From a different perspective, she saw...

Elder brother.

When she accepted her master's mission, she saw a picture of her brother.

She saw her brother kill the two wicked immortals.

She saw that her brother had protected all the mortals he was supposed to kill.

She saw that her brother had been following her and protecting her.

Deep within her soul, something was destroying her emotions.

The soul cannot weep; she simply watched, from God's perspective, watching her brother and her naive self from back then.

Brother, you are an immortal.

Oh, I see. I've been the one causing him trouble.

He didn't want me to fall into depravity, didn't want me to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and didn't want me to be unable to distinguish right from wrong.

He did so much.

He genuinely wants me to become a better person.

And what have I done?

Warm in nature, but cold in reality.

She felt a chill that relentlessly pursued her, hardening her heart like a stubborn rock.

The system said that Heaven has given the female villains a definition: they are heinous criminals and destroyers of the world. That definition is their proof of being villains.

Take Wen Shihan as an example.
