[Transmigrate into a book + System + one-on-one, both inexperienced + sweet romance + kind, pain-shy crybaby heroine vs. mind-reading, deceptively gentle dark-hearted male lead]
Jiang Sui transmigrates into an old-fashioned novel as the vicious supporting woman who bullies the male lead.
To return to the real world, she has no choice but to play her role and follow the plot.
So Jiang Sui pushes the limits of her own doom at every turn.
She slaps the male lead in front of everyone. “You can’t even buy the right milk tea. What use are you, you good-for-nothing?”
But inside, she’s thinking: [Ow, ow, ow! The male lead’s face is so hard. My hand hurts!]
Huo Yan should have stormed off in anger, but instead he grabs her wrist. “Suisui, does your hand hurt? Next time… hit me here.”
Jiang Sui: ???
Later, Jiang Sui goes even further, ordering the male lead to kneel beside the bed and tie her shoes. “You’re nothing but a dog my Jiang family raised. Serving me is your honor!”
But inside, she’s thinking: [Ahhh, his fingertips touched my ankle. It tickles!]
Huo Yan should have been deeply humiliated, but instead he grips her calf tightly and refuses to let go, no matter how much she struggles.
He greedily savors the brief peace he finds in touching her, his voice low and feverish:
“Suisui, don’t move. Let me hold you a little longer…”
Jiang Sui: ???
System, come out here. Is the male lead a masochist?
*
Huo Yan awakened his mind-reading ability when he was ten.
From then on, his world was filled with the insincere, filthy din of other people’s thoughts, like cicadas chirring without end.
Until he met Jiang Sui.
She is his remedy, and the only peace he wants to keep hidden away in this polluted world.
