After the System Betrayed Me, the Empire's Marshals All Regretted It

Trapped in a villain system's cruel game, Lu Xingyao must sabotage history's greatest heroes without killing them—earning malice points to escape an interstellar empire on the brink of war. She plays the ruthless antagonist by day, a secret guardian by night, walking a razor's edge between survival and catastrophe. Just as freedom is within reach, the system stabs her in the back: it rewinds time a thousand years and exposes every calculated move she made. Now the empire's legendary marshals—those she tormented and protected—remember everything. And they have regrets.
