[Alternate 1950s setting + supporting heroine awakens + deliberate seduction + fighting tooth and nail]
In her previous life, Wen Qinghuan could never understand why Lu Huaishen loved her stepsister, Wen Qingtong, so desperately when Qingtong was inferior to her in every way. He even used Wen Qinghuan as a bargaining chip with kidnappers to save Qingtong.
Only after she died did Wen Qinghuan learn that she had been living inside a novel. She was the wicked supporting heroine who served as a stepping stone for the heroine, Wen Qingtong, and a catalyst for the couple’s romance. The male lead was none other than her childhood friend, Lu Huaishen, the man she loved but could never have.
Reborn, Wen Qinghuan finally understands. If she can’t change the fact that she’s a supporting character, then she’ll crush the heroine’s halo piece by piece.
As for Lu Huaishen...
Ha. Why settle for someone her own age? This time, she’s going for an older man!
Wen Qinghuan sets her sights on the youngest head of the Lu family, Lu Huaishen’s uncle, Lu Jingxiao.
Lu Jingxiao leans his tall, straight frame against the car door, a cigarette held between two fingers at his side. He gives a scoff, his eyes following her slender figure, his voice low and slightly rough from smoking.
“Looks like a little rabbit is up to something.”
Lu Jingxiao unholsters the gun at his waist and presses it into Wen Qinghuan’s palm.
“Uncle, I’ve never held a gun before. I’m afraid I won’t hit my target.”
Lu Jingxiao pulls her into his arms and shows her the proper shooting stance. The dark muzzle points straight at Lu Huaishen, chatting and laughing in the distance.
After her scheme is exposed, Wen Qinghuan tries to run, but Lu Jingxiao pins her to the bed.
“Zhizhi, you’ve been so naughty. What should I do with you?”
His long-fingered hand grips her pale, slender ankle tightly as he presses closer inch by inch. Love and anger mingle in his eyes as he bears down on her.
