[Fantasy world + Unrequited love + Both leads are inexperienced + Age gap + Bad ending] A stubborn heroine with childhood trauma and a need for love vs. a refined, smiling schemer of a hero
An unexpected marriage contract drags Ning Xiansi, whose first twenty years passed in a daze, into a mysterious organization: Bureau 749.
When she first meets Shen Wei, she has been set up by a friend and is lying in a pool of blood. He steps toward her through the light, his features serene and gentle.
One strange and mysterious case after another draws them closer.
When her blood sugar drops, he secretly buys her chocolate.
She casually mentions that she likes pear blossoms, and he travels a thousand miles to find her a grove of pear trees.
Amid the noise and bustle, all she has to do is turn around to see him there.
Ning Xiansi believes she is different from everyone else in Shen Wei's heart.
…
Later, someone tells her that she is merely a disposable female supporting character in a danmei novel.
The person she loves and her own boss are the protagonists.
Is the whole purpose of her life to advance their romance?! What gives?!
If this book has a clear emotional line, it would be great.
