The Cannon Fodder Oversteps Her Place, and the Villain Makes Their Fake Romance Real

[One-on-one romance + historical romance + devoted couple + sweet romance + bright, haughty county magistrate’s daughter (awakened version) × bloodthirsty, twisted villainous Grand Secretary (reborn version) + redemption + putting scum in their place]

Liu Suiman accidentally falls from her horse. Strange words suddenly appear in her mind, awakening her to the truth.

She is nothing more than an insignificant character in a storybook. Her adoptive brother, Shen Yanzhi, and his friend, Chu Qingyin, are the destined couple. Whatever Chu Qingyin wants, Liu Suiman has to give up. She loses her life for nothing, and all the businesses her mother built end up in Chu Qingyin’s hands.

Liu Suiman acts at once, finding a suitable man to pretend to be her lover so she can escape her destined death. After weighing her options, she picks the son of an imperial merchant, Su Yunsheng. Once the plan succeeds, Liu Suiman falls for him, only to discover the truth: this man is actually the storybook’s notorious villain, Lu Xianchuan!

The man has returned to the capital, and since she no longer has to die young, everything should end happily.

But just as Liu Suiman is about to finalize her engagement, the villain, who should be in the capital, suddenly appears and traps her in his arms.

The devil murmurs, “You dared to tempt me, and now you dare to marry someone else. Little Liu, you can only be mine…”

Lu Xianchuan has been reborn. He died a terrible death in his previous life, so this time he strikes first and wipes out every future threat. His cousin ascends the throne, and Lu Xianchuan becomes Grand Secretary and the emperor’s favorite minister.

But after living through two lifetimes, life has become dull. He is numb and cold, barely seeming alive. Then Liu Suiman appears, finally bringing him a little amusement.

Later, his pathological possessiveness comes fully to light. He wants to make their pretense real…
