Chapter 1 of Trapped Between a Villain and His Ex

I transmigrated into a book, tasked with changing the tragic fate of the male and female leads, whose deaths were inevitable.

"Caelan Thorn must brutally kill the host and go mad, only then can the mission end."

"I’ll take over her body, bring myself back to life, and stop Caelan Thorn from committing suicide! As for the host’s soul, wherever it goes, I don’t care!"

After accidentally hearing the green tea system’s inner thoughts, I decided that the system could suffer the punishment for me!

Late one night, I went to an old-fashioned photography studio to take some pictures, only to be thrown into this book by a voice claiming to be the system.

I became Elara Vance, the third miss of the Vance family, a mere cannon fodder character who dies early in the story. My main task was to use love to redeem the twisted, yandere villain Caelan and prevent him from turning evil and destroying the original male and female leads. Additionally, I had to kick the malicious female antagonist, Lydia Vance, out of the Vance family as quickly as possible.

On the very first day of my transmigration, before dawn, the system woke me up.

"Caelan is being bullied. The host must help him."

I quickly dressed and rushed to Vance School, where Caelan was located.

The original Elara’s father was the current prime minister, highly trusted by Emperor Theron. He had arranged for unmarried princes to study at a private school, attracting many powerful figures in the court to accompany their princes as tutors.

At this moment, Caelan was kneeling before a group of people, being humiliated.

"As long as Caelan doesn't grovel before them, they’ll accuse him of wanting revenge on the country, and for his own survival, he has no choice but to kneel and beg."

"The host has been provided with a mind-reading skill."

Once I activated the skill, I walked over to Caelan with a sense of calm confidence.

The one leading the bullying was Prince Dorian, and his arrogant behavior was detestable to look at.

"Alistair is so biased by his father. Even when I bully a hostage, he’s always meddling. Well, I’m going to make him pay!"

After hearing his thoughts, I clenched my fist tighter and breathed a sigh of relief for Caelan.

Prince Alistair truly was the righteous male lead from the original story!

"Greetings, Prince Dorian."

After greeting him, I deliberately turned to my maid. "I just saw Prince Alistair heading this way. How come I’ve arrived, but he still hasn’t?"

Prince Dorian’s eyes darted nervously as he shot a glare at Caelan and hurriedly fled.

After the crowd dispersed, I quickly helped Caelan to his feet and comforted him.

"Don’t take their words to heart. Their wrongdoings will eventually be punished."

"In fact, Prince Alistair has helped you multiple times. Many people are afraid of him. Next time someone bullies you, just mention him, and you’ll be free."

Thinking that it’s better to teach someone how to fish than just give them the fish, I directly told him the way to handle it.

Caelan stared at me with his deep, unfathomable black eyes for a long time. After a slight nod, he left, but I clearly heard his thoughts.

"Heh! Helping me is just a way for him to gain admiration, to bolster his reputation for virtue, and to secure the throne later."

"If someone as capable as him takes the throne, how will I ever restore my country and wipe out the Valdorians?"

I was shocked.

Even when someone genuinely tries to help him, he’s still bent on indiscriminate killing. Is there still any hope of redeeming him?
