The Male Lead Falls for the Cannon-Fodder Maid He Favors

She thought transmigrating into an alternate ancient world and becoming a little maid was bad enough. Just when she had adjusted to life in the past, she discovered she had transmigrated into a book, where she was a sacrificial villainess who died young. She didn’t want to die. She couldn’t just sit around and wait for it to happen; she had to run. Luckily, the sacrificial character had saved several dozen taels of silver, just enough to solve her immediate problem. After all, she’d need travel money to make her escape. But even with money, she was still a servant, and her indenture contract was in the hands of the male lead, a crazy, possessive yandere. She thought it over and decided stealing it would be quicker. So she worked hard to win the male lead’s favor and successfully stole the contract. Just as she was about to make a getaway, he caught her. For some reason, the male lead wanted to take her as a concubine. He already had the heroine, but apparently that wasn’t enough; now he wanted a beautiful sacrificial concubine too. In his dreams! She used her knowledge of the plot to make her escape, but the male lead’s luck was too strong, and every attempt failed. She was genuinely terrified of him. At last, after carefully planning her escape, she managed to get away and was finally free to live life her own way. Then she got pregnant with the male lead’s child. Fine, she could deal with that. But she’d only fallen asleep for a while. When she woke up, she saw a lavish bed canopy above her. She got out of bed and ran to the door, only to discover that her feet were shackled. She’d been locked up like a caged beauty! Xiao Wanyue: Aren’t you the male lead? Why are you fixated on me, a mere sacrificial character? What happened to the heroine? He Jingming: Hah. Woman, you’ve successfully caught my attention. Xiao Wanyue: Isn’t that a line from a domineering CEO romance?! The plot has gone off the rails!!! Both are each other’s first and only partner.
