Hold Your Husband Close and Buy Yourself More Time

Yan Zijin wakes up to find she has become a spoiled villainess in ancient times, on the verge of dying.

The original owner threw a fit over her childhood sweetheart, her cousin, broke off her engagement, and jumped into a lake. In the end, she managed to get herself killed.

Now Yan Zijin is forced to bind herself to a [Longevity System], whose missions revolve around her unseen new husband, Zhou Yanxiu.

One hug adds five days to her life.

One night in the same bed adds another five days.

One kiss… and her debt is paid off in full?!

Yan Zijin gets it: no amount of scheming in the household or political machinations can beat clinging to her husband’s leg.

So on their wedding night, she ties their hands together with red silk to stop him sneaking off in the middle of the night;

The next day, she empties out his study, cutting off his escape route;

And those other women circling him?

Yan Zijin (clenching her fist): “Nobody’s touching my life-saving medicine!”

Everyone says the new Mrs. Yan of the Zhou family may come from a merchant’s household, but she certainly knows how to keep the cool and dignified master of the house by her side.

Only Yan Zijin knows what lies beneath her husband’s gentle exterior: unfathomable depths.

Until one day, while trying to extend her life, she “accidentally” kisses his lips

The System rejoices: [Lifespan +10 days!]

But the man’s gaze darkens as he wraps an arm around her waist, his voice low and husky.

“Madam, you’re so eager… have you finally realized that I’m better than a longer life?”

Yan Zijin: ???

Wait, how does he know?!
