The 1970s: I Kissed the Crazy Villain by Force to Stay Alive

[Spirit spring + devoted couple + face-slapping fun + mutual redemption + tough-guy husband who spoils his wife + male lead can hear the female lead's thoughts]

Overnight, she transmigrated into a story as an ugly, overweight, wicked cannon-fodder character.

The original owner had forced herself on the story's biggest villain and given birth to three little villains. She raised the children like animals, beating some until they were disabled and selling others off.

In the book, the original owner was tortured to death by the villain and the three children.

On the verge of tears, she did everything she could to survive: guzzling spirit spring water, losing weight, finding her children, and trying desperately to clear her name. She was determined to become the best mother of the 1970s.

To stay alive, she did everything she could to act repulsive and keep him at a distance, but it only had the opposite effect.

She tried to look like she cared about him, pressing close as she said, "You're so rich and powerful. I like you best!"

All the while, she kept repeating in her head, "Push me away, push me away, push me away!"

His expression turned strange, but he didn't make a move. She had to see the act through, so she braced herself and kissed him.

She didn't know whether she was the one with a problem or he was, but he kept getting more and more attached to her!

She slammed a hand down in frustration. Why hadn't he told her sooner? He'd let her keep up the act for so long!
