Chinese Villainess genre drama

(short length series not included)

The "villainess genre" refers to stories where the main character, often a transmigrated soul or a character from a different world, finds herself in the role of the villainess in an novel, otome game or similar world. This can involve her either trying to change her doomed fate, becoming a hero, or embracing her villainous status and navigating the world with her new knowledge. 

Key aspects of the villainess genre:

Reincarnation/Transmigration:

The main character typically gains memories of a previous life or is reborn in a world where she's known as the villainess.

Knowledge of the Game/Story:

She has knowledge of the story's events, often from a previous life or through reincarnation, allowing her to plan her actions and avoid the bad ending.

Villainess Role:

She is initially defined as the villain, often with a negative reputation or a predetermined path to a bad ending.
