Reborn as a fickle-hearted scumbag, Lin Wanyin just wants to slack off and run away.
In the original story, when her fiance Lu Shiheng failed the imperial exam again, the original owner tore up their marriage contract and threw herself into the arms of the scholar Yan Ci. She thought she would live a good life, but Yan Ci was a complete wolf in sheep's clothing. He used the original owner's family wealth to pave his way to power, then treated her like trash, married into a wealthy family, and eventually caused Lin Wanyin to bleed to death. Heartbroken, Lu Shiheng married someone in a small village and lived an uneventful life.
Knowing the plot, Lin Wanyin didn't want to repeat the same mistakes or ruin Lu Shiyan's chance at happiness. She chose neither man, figuring she could stay single and avoid the story. But one sip of water nearly made her choke to death.
[Romance Life-Extension System] suddenly came online: “Host has been bound to a romantic relationship with Lu Shiheng. Earn intimacy points by dating to extend your life, or you will die and your soul will vanish. Intimacy points can be exchanged for modern goods. Accumulate 100 million points to return to the modern world.”
A modest little goal?
Lin Wanyin wanted to cry. She steeled herself and went after Lu Shiheng. Before, she had tossed him aside like a weed. Now she was the one chasing him through hell and back.
When she finally earned a hundred million points, Lin Wanyin hesitated over whether to leave.
She didn't understand anymore. Was she dating him to stay alive, or had she fallen for him at first sight?
Lu Shiheng didn't understand either. Lin Wanyin seemed like a completely different person.
He assumed she was only pretending to love him because she wanted something, but she kept up the act day after day.
His wariness gradually faded, leaving him with one thought: even fake love is still love.
In the end, he rose to the highest ranks of the court and personally bestowed on her the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady.
Pretending to love him?
It didn't matter. As long as he loved her, that was enough.
