[Classic characters have appeared, locking onto the host!]
[Ding! Character lock successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining the role of Jiang Yuyan from "The Little Fish and the Flowers"]
"What? Jiang Yuyan?"
Jiang Ling, who had just lain down, heard this and immediately jolted up, leaping out of bed.
She knew the system's arranged roles were definitely classics, but she hadn't expected to get this particular character this time.
Jiang Yuyan!
It was Jiang Yuyan!
The super villainess who blackened without heavy makeup, sported air bangs, had a pair of watery eyes, and a face full of innocent purity, yet ultimately wiped out everyone in the drama, leaving only the title. She was the most powerful female antagonist in history.
Jiang Ling had acted for so many years, playing all sorts of characters.
Compared to those simple, kind, universally loved, yet cliched, foolishly sweet, Mary Sue female protagonists, she preferred playing powerful, intelligent, and ruthless villainesses.
Through years of experience in the film and television industry, it was best to cast beautiful actresses for these wicked villainous supporting roles.
This was because the vast majority of the audience was emotional; they weren't afraid of villains being bad, but they were afraid of villains being handsome (or beautiful). Morals followed facial features.
Especially those who appeared pitiful and innocent on the outside, when playing a scheming and ruthless wicked woman, they were truly captivating.
Video bloggers on certain platforms and Bilibili in her previous life had often compiled lists of memorable female villains over the years.
But no matter how the rankings were ordered or how the characters changed, Jiang Yuyan and Xu Yingying, those childhood nightmares, would always appear.
Jiang Yuyan's role in "The Little Fish and the Flowers" wasn't particularly substantial, at most a supporting female role.
However, she and Murong Xian, nicknamed 'Little Fairy,' were the two most memorable characters for the audience.
It is often said that those who are pitiable have something to be hated for.
Conversely, those who are hated also have something to be pitied for.
Jiang Yuyan was the illegitimate daughter of the hypocrite Jiang Biehe, cast out to a place of prostitution where she was saved by Hua Wuque, developing an unshakeable love for him.
After successfully acknowledging her father Jiang Biehe, Jiang Yuyan did not receive the paternal love she longed for. Her father favored her elder sister Jiang Yu, and her stepmother subjected her to all sorts of abuse and humiliation.
What was even more detestable was that Jiang Biehe, coveting the peerless divine skill 'Yi Hua Jie Mu' recorded in the Liu Ren Shen Shai, practiced it improperly, went mad, and to save his own life, transferred the deadly poison within him onto his own daughter.
Repeated blows and betrayals ultimately caused this woman, who was not inherently virtuous, to completely blacken.
In front of others, she was a delicate and innocent pitiable damsel, but behind their backs, she was a ruthless, great demon king with exceptional martial arts talent.
After blackening, she first plotted to kill her own sister who treated her best, successfully entered the palace as the emperor's favorite concubine, and then, using her beauty and intelligence, advanced step by step, constantly growing stronger.
Not only that, but she also used her feigned vulnerability and innocence to deceive the main characters, deciphered the ultimate mysteries of the Liu Ren Shen Shai, mastered the peerless divine skill, absorbed the powers of Yao Yue and Lian Xing, and became the foremost expert in the martial world.
Upon learning that the woman Hua Wuque loved was Tie Xinlan, she gnashed her teeth in hatred and directly strangled Tie Xinlan to death.
Afterward, she eliminated anyone who opposed her or posed a threat to her, whether they were righteous or villainous, leaving none alive.
However, as people often say, love makes women foolish.
