The Sickly Second Female Lead Strikes Back, Leaving the Heroine Breathless

/Forceful love / reborn / unhinged beauty / dark, sweet romance / deep devotion / System / rising to power/ / One unhinged woman pins another to the ground and forces her to kneel, twisting love and hate over and over as she demands affection. Chen Qingyue, head of the Chen family, is cool and refined, with a possessiveness so strong she could swallow someone whole. Xi Jiaoqing, the eldest daughter of the Xi family, is languid and carefree, so cold-hearted she could casually toss someone aside and play with them like a dog. / / They hated and loved each other, loved and hated each other, hating each other enough to pin one another in pools of blood, loving each other enough to drag each other back from death. That is all there is to love and hate. / / A cool, unhinged, yandere beauty and a languid, carefree, cold-hearted woman. “Just a twist of fate?” “Come on, we were made for each other.” / / Reading guide: · Angst at first, sweetness later. · Both leads are strong, and neither plays hard to get. Ask, and they’ll tell you. · Everyone’s unhinged, but each in their own way. · There’s a System, but it’s a chatterbox that loves to roast people. · Happy ending. A real happy ending. / / Love isn’t magic that strikes at first sight. It’s the moment, even when everything is out of place, that you find yourself thinking of the other person without meaning to. Forceful love rests on both sides seeing it as love. What you’re about to open is a series of contests danced on the edge of a blade, a bond shared through life and death, and the embraces, passionate kisses, entanglements, and the words “I love you” that follow every death. “We can only live and die together, turning pain into pleasure.” The main characters are all abnormal. At first, they torment each other; in the middle, they hurt each other; later, they learn from each other. Every side character is broken in their own way. Don’t read if it’s not for you.
