A gloomy, sickly, and unloved prince as the male lead x a heroine with a delightfully unhinged state of mind, willing to do whatever it takes to stay alive.
Bai Yu transmigrates into a novel as a cannon-fodder character who shares a name with the mad, obsessive male lead’s concubine. She’s a nobody who gets beaten to death in Chapter Three for accidentally spilling wine on him.
She plans to use her knowledge of the plot to dodge every brush with death, but the System tells her, “You criticized this book, didn’t you? Then prove you can do better. Go win over the male lead.” With no choice, she goes all out, dancing in front of him every day just to stay alive, and kicks off her unhinged survival mode.
When the male lead catches Bai Yu witnessing him kill someone and prepares to kill her to silence her, Bai Yu grabs a pillar and shouts, “I love you!”
He kills her.
Bai Yu pretends to be blind.
He kills her.
Bai Yu drops to her knees, clutches his leg, and weeps as she begs for mercy.
He kills her.
Bai Yu jumps out and shouts, “I knew it! You like killing people too!”
Male lead: “What do you mean, ‘too’?”
Bai Yu: “Thank heavens, I finally guessed right this time! It hurts so much to get killed, sob, sob, sob!”
Male lead: “Oh? You like it too? Then go kill someone and show me.”
Bai Yu: “What? You want me to kill someone and prove it!?”
I’ve never even killed a chicken, and you want me to kill a person!?
Male lead: “Are you lying to me?”
Bai Yu: “!!! No, please!!!”
And why do I have to win over the heroine, the second male lead, the second female lead, and everyone else while I’m trying to win over the male lead? Aaaaaah!!!!
I’m going to send you all flying!!!!!!
