Senior Green Tea Turned Into an Abused Heroine

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Lin Xiaocha was a veteran ‘green tea’; she knew her way around playing with love. She could pretend to be cute and innocent, tearing up her opponents, and raised bountiful fish in her green tea fish pond.

She was selected by the system to fulfill the wish of the heroine of an abusive novel, to target the hero and the supporting male characters who were obsessed with the white lotus. And if she were to complete the missions, she would receive generous rewards.

Initially she thought this would be a breeze, her riches were right in her grasp. However, just when the task was about to be accomplished…

She found that she…

Targeted! The! Wrong! Person!

Lin Xiaocha: Don’t panic, I’ll do it again. It’s not a big deal.

Until–

Lin Xiaocha: “Xianjun, why lock up Xiaocha?!”

The cold and pure max-level boss: “Didn’t you say you would stay with me forever, that we would be inseparable in life or death?”

He kissed Lin Xiaocha’s earlobe. “This lord is very sure.”

people's opinion who didn't finish this one and has the audacity to leave rude reviews doesn't count.

they say no character growth??? bruh you just made it in the 50 chapters, we say it's near the end... the beloved character growth???

will there be love in lies??? of course not. that's why you need to read until the end that the MC and ML made it through that.

so I guess all the hate this story received was because people doesn't like antagonist characteristics on their main character which is Boo! So lame.... more>> if you don't like her personality, just drop the story, no one is forcing you to like her and justify her behavior.

tbh, I enjoyed reading this one and I only spend 3 days to finish all of this, and now I am feeling a bit blue because, I already finished it 🥹 i'll miss xianjun very muchh 😭 <<less

I liked this story. MC has low self esteem and because of her childhood she's learned that money is the most important part of life for unprivileged people like her. She's the typical mistress type person but we sympathize why she became like that. The plot has it's morally gray moments but since she's a pragmatic person, she deals with them rationally, at the cost of her own emotions. Also I'm mentioning this because I feel the tags were incomplete

Spoiler

This should have a "non consensual interc**rse" and "dubious consent tag". The first time the main couple did it was when the guy was drunk and the girl didn't want to do it. So she pretends to sleep but it doesn't work. So she starts engaging in it, but the consent is never clear and the guy is too OP and the MC physically cannot stop him. Mind you, this was when she was virtually "hidden away" in his mountain with her incapable for running away. When the ML actually kidnapped her, I know the fact that they did have genuine feelings for each other. But MC was not in a good place emotionally and didn't give her consent to the relations that followed. It was mentioned that " she went to her happy place" and let the guy do 'it' as she thought that if she really said that she seduced him for money and didn't love him, he might kill her, so she rather than that, she thought that letting him take what he wanted (she thought he just wanted sex) he might be amiable for negotiations to free herself. That's dubious consent, if not r*pe, which it really is. Yes is yes. Non verbal consent is NOT a consent. Much rather this pragmatic separation of your psychological consciousness to a "happy place" and letting your body in someone else's control.

Fair warning, the title speaks for itself.

I usually don't read others' reviews before making my own but I made an exception this time because I was curious how our MC sits in the hearts of readers. I guess im one of those who liked her despite of, err... everything else. She came and went as a villain. I agree with one reviewer, MC is a green tea bit*h through and through and she's aware of that as well, so of course, what massive character development do you expect on a... more>> person like this? I loved and hated her at the same time lol. Redeeming qualities? Sacrificing her life for an entire city not enough? Heck, you're picky. Whatever her motives, the ends justify the means.

No one is truly pure in heart and thoughts, imo.

Guess she can put a reader into a limbo, but I seriously loved the ML; he made it easier for me to forget why im annoyed with MC at times. He literally embodies the saying "the one who falls inlove first loses" lol. Still, when love is requited, winning and losing are insignificant. He's a 5 for me; him alone can pull my rating.

It didn't make me laugh nor cry, but the story got me hooked nevertheless, all the way through the extras which I must admit were so shallow we can do without. But hey, they've been through fire and ice so yeah, I can forgive them being petty and shallow too. <<less

Honestly, this novel is tr*sh yet junk food at the same time. Even though it's that bad, in regard to a lot of vague details, a ton of plot holes, dumb decisions, 0 world building. I still read it as a junk food which gave some enjoyment, through the FL's green tea style, and I wanted to see the ending, from how shallow this is.

It only deserved 2 stars, from me, even through all the absurd story, FL-ML's physical interaction (...)

... more>>
Spoiler

that's their only chemistry later on, combined with stockholm syndrome, FL being confined by the ML, meh.

Especially, when their first physical interaction, was because of ML drinking alcohol.

Alcohol is a mocker to so many novel's.

[collapse]

(But it gets 3 star for the best character I've met in this story, which is
Spoiler

A Si, the crane. Just the best eye roller, fighter, giving the FL the disrespect she deserves.
FL 2/10 ML 3/10)

[collapse]

Even so, I do not recommend this novel at all. It felt like it was written by an author who was in his teenage years.

P.S: Bed scenes, detailed slightly. <<less

Well, it was a good read disregarding certain morally questionable actions both by the female and male lead. Though understandably, the FL is a green tea so her actions reflect that fact though she did seem to genuinely care about her fishes in the end. The ML on the other hand, can be incredibly domineering and nearly forceful when it comes to his pursuit of the FL but maybe the FL is partly at fault here? I'm still honestly conflicted about how I feel.

... more>>
Spoiler

Admittedly, I did like the ML initially and even felt bad for him at certain points but that doesn't mean I agree with his forceful behavior at the latter part of the story. On the other hand, FL was the perfect green tea so I have to give her props for that. She got everyone fooled, if her background story was probably expanded more I would have felt that her green tea persona is justifiable.

brilliant! A perfect mix of a lot of humor, a bit of drama and some action! Love selfish characters who own their selfishness while ironically end up doing good things via manipulation.

while there are dicey moments between the ML and FL but the author is good at establishing it as their own weird foreplay. Not a lot of authors do that right. Except maybe that one time the ML was drunk. So fair warning.

to those who hated the FL while their opinion is valid I feel like they should really... more>> read the whole thing bc damn the fl's character progression was beautiful. I'll definitely reread this again. But maybe avoid the extra chapters. <<less

Ok I gave this a chance after my interest started to fade, I kept putting this off for like 2 weeks and finally completed it it does have a very good story from the different point of view of being a green tea but I wish it was a little bit differently done and I wish certain aspect of it was different.

I genuinely loved the story so much for nearly all of the chapters. It was funny and clever and surprisingly realistic in describing emotions and actions sometimes. It was not just story which was written by author but the characters made logical decisions based on realistic motives. Even though it is not perfect I would rate it 5*... if not for one thing near the end of the story.

... more>>
Spoiler

I loved our ML because of his cold and rational character and quite good moral standing... until he kidnapped the MC and put her in his own realm from which she couldn't escape without him knowing it. In the end he released her and gave her the ultimate choice but oh my, such a great story totally destroyed by something so ugly. People could try to find a reason for ML doing so - he being arrogant, possesive kinda god - but in my opinion when you once kidnap somebody and lock them somewhere agains their will, it's just sick, no way sexy or some other bull.

I am happy I read this because it's good story, just a little bit disappointed because that one thing that ruined my joy from reading this otherwise funny and light story. <<less

honestly I don't really like cultivation story bcs I think it's a bit boring and tiring, their practice routine and frequent fight is too much for me.

but I come to finish this story, xiaocha is a great example of green tea. She's so calculative and could handle troubles well, sometimes you might think she's selfish and heartless because of money, but at the same time she's brave and kind.

han yu as the ML was cold but hot type that treat FL well. I even felt tired of the drama and... more>> pity him at half of the story.

i think the plot development nearing the ending is a bit rushed, but that's the most possible way to end it I guess.

just try to read the story and enjoy the interaction between these couple. <<less

I kinda got hooked.

It is true that the MC´s personality gets a little annoying at times (and damn hard to swallow getting to the 60s) BUT the ML was great, the way she reacted was great and, even if it is not one of my favorites nor anything close, it was entertaining and out of the ordinary.

Redeamable qualities: A great ML (who gets jelous and possesive), likeable enough characters, fun extras and a smart MC that, at the beginning, is really entertaining and, in the end, changes for the better.

A lovely novel. The MC is decently characterized and the ML has a few of his own faces. The plot was lovely and moved quick enough not to bore me, and the creatures throughout were fun.

The story follows the MC who transmigrates through a system to win the favor of the original tragedy novel’s ML and side characters from the white lotus. She accidentally recognizes the wrong person as the ML and ends up changing the plot. Loved the idea and the execution went well.

This is THE BOMB. Though it is tagged cultivation, the cultivation part is nonexistent.

This is so different from the usual black bellied face slapping protagonist. Imagine ever annoying cannon fodder that plays the innocent and pitiful act of seduction. Take that and behold, Lin Xiaocha, the ultimate green tea b*tch who is lovablely diabolical. Kudos to the author for showing us how green tea b*tches can outmaneuver one another.

This is a good read. There is a very very slight hint of angst and a whole lot fun seeing how the... more>> female protagonist pull people's heart strings. Plot wise, it's not much (but it is still passable, with some good plot twist) and the interaction between the male and female lead is basically her acting pitiful and coquettish and the male lead resisting. But BLAH who cares!

The translation is excellent and there is actually some character development. Loved the ending too! Overall, just go for it if you are contemplating! You won't regret it! <<less

4 stars - 4.3 star for the main story, but deducting some points for the extras, they weren't good.

I don't get why so many reviews complain about the MC. First of all, she's a green tea b*tch, that's the whole purpose of her character and why she gets her mission. She's asked by the abused heroine to take over from her and give her justice by turning all her former abusers (ori!ML and male side characters) into lovesick people who fawn over her instead of the original white lotus (who's... more>> also a green tea b*tch in disguise).

The ori!MC is one of those typical virtuous, kind and selfless FLs who are kind of brain dead and falls in love with a black-bellied scum ML. She ends up dying because of his abuse and his mistaken infatuation with the white lotus character. Everyone misunderstands the ori!MC and abuses her.

The MC is a girl who gets by in life by seducing well-off men, with no ambition in life except living in comfort and luxury. She's shallow and money-grubbing and completely single-minded about pursuing wealth. She has a clear mission where she has to use her scheming and seduction skills to get justice for the ori!MC, and if she succeeds, she'll get a lot of money as a reward - each man on the ori!MC's list that she seduces will earn her a large amount, with the ori!ML being the grand price that will make her set for life. She treats the world she transmigrates into as a game, as far as she knows it's a world in a book, she gets a system tied to her to guide her, and if she dies in-world, it'll just be game over and she'll return to her original world. So she doesn't take the people she meet seriously for a very long while, just like you wouldn't in a game.

She is of course very amoral, something she's fully aware of. I wouldn't say she's as bad as she herself thinks or as some readers think. She seduces men, but does not abuse anyone except the ML. And as far as she knows (due to an honest mistake that the ML himself causes - partly due to his own arrogance and detachment from other people), the ML is the ori!ML and therefore a bad guy, so he doesn't actually deserve much pity.

She is aware of her actions towards him being cruel, and likely she would not have gone this far in her own world, but the book world isn't real to her.

I actually enjoyed the MC a lot - it's fun to read about people who don't care about morals and are shamelessly selfish and very flawed. Lin Xiaocha is pretty hilarious and her way of handling all the men and making them fall for her is entertaining to read about.

I honestly didn't feel super bad for the ML - he's innocent and what she does to him when she abandons him is pretty cruel -

Spoiler

making him think that she was mu*dered by a demon

[collapse]

But he did make a huge mistake by

Spoiler

rejecting her and left her alone while she was sick, and she did get attacked by a demon - if it had been the ori!MC and not the resourceful Lin Xiaocha, she would likely have died and it would have been his fault. And rejecting her by then regretting after finding out that she actually saved him is very similar to the ori!ML, so even though it was all part of the MC's scheme, he did deserve to suffer a bit for his own s*upidity. Especially since he was so detached that he didn't care about anyone around him and just saved her out of a sense of duty.

[collapse]

The MC being smart, scheming and shameless, and also the way she handles the ori!ML (who's really a scum) and the white lotus (who's also actually evil and deserves her fate) by being a superior green tea b*tch is just delightful. I was laughing out loud several times, especially when she made that gift for ori!ML (and he never even understood it).

The MC also does a lot of good deeds - more than the ML or any other character in the story. While she helps people purely out of self-interest, she saves and protects many people. I will also say that she acts quite heroic after a while, and it's more impressive since she truly is a selfish person and doesn't need to stick out her neck for anyone, but eventually grows a conscience and does become a brave heroine.

Spoiler

helping Zhao Dandan who gets mercilessly attacked by the white lotus and her evil aunt lands herself in trouble, but not only does she not back down, she even forces the white lotus and everyone else to face the cruelty of the ruling class. And then she saves ZDD's cate and the ML's crane, also something she didn't have to do (although of course doing this is just basic human decency). So in that way she's already better than most of the other characters

[collapse]

Later she truly changes for the better -

Spoiler

becoming a revolutionary heroine when she could have just run off to look for the ori!ML. Sure, she doesn't risk her life like everyone else, since if she dies she'll just go back to her own world, but she did not have to go through everything she did. She even kills off the ori!ML when she finally realizes that money truly isn't as important as doing good (and also that she's had enough of the scum guy and that everyone's better off if he just dies).

[collapse]

So all in all, the MC is both fun, flawed and grows to become an admirable person - even if she still retains some of her money-grubbing, materialistic nature. Which is more relatable than having her turn into a saint.

I liked many of the side characters, such as the system, the dragon, the doting dad, the mild cultivation leader, the MC's friends - and the seduction schemes and face-slapping is pretty fun.

The ML was alright, but he was the typical 'cold, stoic CEO' type that gets a bit boring. He also had some yandere-like tendencies that a few times got the better of him, and honestly he could have just tried to openly treat the MC better after he got his second chance. While the MC was mostly the one seducing him (even subconsciously at times since she really did like him despite of herself), it was a bit annoying with all the dubcon, mostly because he was supposed to be such a good guy.

Dubcon includes:

Spoiler

ML kissing the (seemingly, although she actually fakes it) sleeping MC while he's drunk and out of control, then proceeding to have s*x with her while she's somewhat resisting him. Sure, she does actually take the initiative to seduce him by grabbing and groping him when he tries to retreat, and she does in fact want to sleep with him, and sure he's drunk to the point where he doesn't really know what he's doing, but still, he's a person with 8000 years of cultivation, he should know how to behave.

The second time, when he kisses her against the tree, she does reject him - and has repeatedly rejected him. He doesn't know she loves him, as far as he knows, she got over her feelings for him and is in love with someone else. So kissing her against her will is not okay.

[collapse]

Then there's the second extra - I recommend not reading that if you feel iffy about dubcon that's disguised as noncon - it also kind of ruined the ML's character for me:

Spoiler

in the extra, which is set in an alternative universe where the MC is a tea tree demon given to the ML as a gift by the demon king, the ML dubcons the MC, then later ends up raping the MC out of jealousy. Then he proceeds to marry her to 'make up for it', even though the MC has not at any point shown that she's willing or that she likes him. She has actively shown that she wants to leave him and marry someone else. It is revealed by the end that the whole thing was the MC's scheme to catch the ML, but this does not absolve the ML of his crime, since he was never forced to do what he did, and the manipulation he got from the MC was a lot lighter than in the main story/original universe. It wasn't fun or romantic, just made the ML look like a scum who did everything without any care or consideration for the MC.

[collapse]

So I'd recommend not reading the extras - there are two, the other extra is about the MC and ML after the ending -

Spoiler

they have a lovers' quarrel which is actually pretty dumb and makes them both look more superficial and s*upid than in the main story, where both had character growth. They eventually make up, and the ML more or less forces the MC to have s*x outdoors - it's supposed to be sexy but isn't really.

[collapse]

Generally the plot was good though and the MC is a fun (anti) heroine, the ML is okay but somewhat questionable (his character does work however, because the MC truly falls for him and can handle him - she also does enjoy his dubcon and rather rough treatment, strangely enough). The conclusion was a bit abrupt, but mainly satisfying.

But people who dislike amoral MCs should probably not read it - as one can see from some of the one star reviews from morally outraged readers. <<less

I really like this novel. The beginning is just so beautiful and a great read. I don't like the ending tho, the few chapters toward the ending is a bit rushed. Idk why but after the second part the author seemed to have lost the grasp in the main couple's relationship. The relationship develops beautifully at the start but the latter half actually fell short in comparison. The author also seems to struggle in transitioning the MC's personality from "money-grubbing scumbag" to "grown-up and regretful lady with low self-esteem with... more>> her own personality" so that's why I rated it 4 (I put an important emphasis on ending and finishing chapters, it affects my overall rating so much) <<less

And all her trouble started is because her system is useless. (This is the first time iread transmigrated story with system that are really useless) but the whole book is really entertaining and funny. Our MC seems hearless and materialistic, but actually she have a heart of gold😆 thank you
