Web novelist An Yu transmigrates.
When she opens her eyes, she has become the vicious stepmother of the darkened male supporting character in her own novel, beating him to the ground on the way into exile.
The good news: it’s her own story.
The bad news: it’s an abandoned novel she wrote years ago, and she can’t remember a thing about the plot.
Just as she’s wondering how to get back, a beep sounds in her mind, followed by a voice as lifeless as a dead fish.
[Welcome, author, to the livestream of the unfinished novel The Stunning Imperial Consort: The Evil King’s Domineering Love. Complete your story and dispel the male supporting character’s resentment to go home!]
An Yu: Heh. Maybe I should just die instead.
System: Sure! You’ll just reload from your last save after you die, too.
An Yu carefully helps the male supporting character up from the ground, then immediately starts manipulating him.
“Kiddo, love me, love me! No pain, no love. Spare the rod and spoil the child. Your mother beats you because…”
Qi Hui stares at her blankly. An Yu hurriedly changes tack. “I-I only hit you because I love you! How about you let me sit in your wheelchair? Or you can hold me and we can sit together. Respecting the old and cherishing the young is a traditional virtue!”
Qi Hui tilts his head and asks sincerely, “What’s that?”
An Yu: The sky is falling.
The male supporting character hasn’t turned dark, but he seems a little dumb!
Until one day, he cautiously catches the hem of her clothes and asks with tears in his eyes,
“But you said you loved me…”
An Yu is completely stunned. “I didn’t! I never said that. Don’t make things up!”
Qi Hui’s tears burst forth in despair. Like a puppy abandoned by the roadside, he silently unfastens his belt, drooping like a withered foxtail grass as he heads off to hang himself from a crooked tree.
An Yu slides in and grabs his lean legs.
Your Majesty, I love you, I love you, I love you!
