Synopsis

[Two female leads + 1v1 + transmigration into a book + both are chaste]

Yan Jin transmigrates into a book, and of all places, lands right in the middle of a cannon-fodder character’s confession to the male lead.

And of all people, that cannon-fodder character is her.

She doesn’t like men!

So when the male lead says, “I don’t like you. No matter how much you pester me, my answer will be the same. Know your place,”

Yan Jin turns smoothly on her heel and walks straight toward her rival in the corner, the original story’s “vicious supporting female character.”

She clears her throat and pats her chest.

“Me, Yan Jin: gentle, beautiful, and considerate. I can look great at a dinner party, even if I can’t cook. I can eat and sleep, sing and dance. If you’re in a bad mood, I can put on a little show and sing you a song. If you’re in a good mood, I can get a little pouty so you can cheer me up. I’m the perfect girlfriend for home life, flawless in every way. You can’t lose by investing in me!”

He Weilai glances at the male lead, who couldn’t care less, and, as if possessed, signs an agreement with Yan Jin.

When anxiety overwhelms her, her skin hunger follows, so

Yan Jin provides her with resources, and she becomes Yan Jin’s “cure.”

At first, their relationship is simple and unpretentious.

But after the contract expires, He Weilai sees Yan Jin cuddling up to someone else on set, and jealousy surges wildly in her heart.

“Yan Jin, let’s renew our contract. For... the rest of our lives.”

(There are entertainment-industry elements, but they’re not a major focus. The story is mostly about the romance between the two of them, so give it a try if that’s what you’re looking for.)

It's really good. For a moment, I hoped for some heartbreak, with He always fixated on the male lead and then cutting ties with Jinjin. Honestly, I thought a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" scenario would be quite thrilling, the kind that makes you cry buckets. And if Jinjin happens to have one or two suitors, this love triangle would be quite entertaining. 😏😏

Awesome, guys! The plot of this novel is smooth and logical. I haven't seen any classic entertainment industry scenes yet. I really love Yan Jin! 🥰🥰 "The Born Succubus Has Arrived" is also excellent bedtime reading, completely without any triggers! Happiness is something you have to fight for! Get to be the top soon! I believe in you! I love it so much! 😘😘. Author, I love you! Mua!

I'd give the early and middle stages of the story full marks; it was exceptionally well-written. The engagement scene later on was disappointing; it felt like it was just angst for the sake of angst, and I felt sorry for the kind-hearted female lead. 🥺 But overall, it's a very good work, particularly noteworthy for its delicate portrayal of the development of the characters' relationship.

It's good-looking; it would be even better if there was a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" scene. 😘😘

Having read about 20 chapters, it's a pretty good work, but it also has some issues. It's clear the author wants to depict He's struggles with her feelings towards her childhood sweetheart of over a decade and Yan, the woman who stirs her heart. Because of her long-held obsession, He struggles to distinguish her own emotions, and gradually comes to understand them.

It's a great read. I don't think the "chasing-back-to-the-wife" trope is necessary. The point of reading is He's transformation, and transformation takes time and gradual changes; it can't happen overnight. Besides, I don't think the story has any major flaws.

It's beautiful. A habit and obsession built over ten years won't be given up so easily. My aunt is a variable now, bringing her joy and warmth, like a feather occasionally tickling her heart. Enough said, let's get together and be sweet, sweet, sweet! I can't take it anymore. I don't know if this crematorium setting is cruel to He Weilai, but it's definitely cruel to me. My heart aches for Jinjin!

It's really good! So far, it seems that CEO He's feelings for the original male lead are only based on childhood affection and attachment, as well as a long-term lack of love and a persistent obsession stemming from her pursuit. This needs to be gradually resolved.

Well, after seeing the part about the wife-chasing-back-to-the-cremation scenario, I don't know what to say. I came here looking for a story with two female leads, not a gender-swap story... To be fair, the early episodes were quite good and sweet. I don't mind the angst during the pursuit of the wife; on the contrary, I quite liked it. However, the formula was applied too awkwardly.

Overall, it's still a very good read, but why hasn't the author responded to the issues raised in the comments? Currently, the two female leads' sacrifices seem unequal. To be honest, after reading for so long, it feels like one female lead is constantly making sacrifices, while the other seems to have some issues with her purity (of course, this is subjective).
