Matriarchy: The Male Lead Is the Vicious Villainess’s Sweet, Devoted Husband

[Women’s-dominant world | One-on-one romance | Transmigrated female supporting character, strong female lead | Gentle wealthy merchant vs. pampered brothel star | Tough-talking but soft-hearted vs. sensitive crybaby]

“The story has a little angst, mostly for the male lead.”

Ji Chanyi and her best friend transmigrate. One becomes the young mistress of the Ji family, one of the five great merchant clans, while the other becomes its head.

Ji Chanyi pursues Liu Qingci for two years, then finally gives in to a rebellious impulse and drugs him before forcing herself on him. But she awakens in the middle of it and realizes she is the villainous female supporting character in a women’s-dominant romance novel, and that the person she has just taken is actually the male lead.

The man is cold. Thinking of the ending awaiting her, she decides to sever their ties, but he seems to change completely and keeps showing up in front of her.

Whenever she sees the beautiful man being humiliated, she can’t help stepping in to defend him. But just as their feelings deepen, that person appears.

She can no longer lie to herself, and is forced to hand him over to someone else.

In the thick night, Liu Qingci clutches her hand, his peach-blossom eyes glistening with tears.

She places the antidote on the table and forces him to look her in the eye.

“Make yourself clear. Do you want the antidote, or me?”

He thinks he is about to die and clutches Ji Chanyi’s sleeve, nearly choking on his words.

“I... I like you, my lady.

“Liu Qingci likes Ji Chanyi.

“I liked you before, I like you now, and I’ll like you in the future.

“I’ll only ever like Ji Chanyi...”

By the faint light of three candles, they gaze into each other’s eyes. Heavy snow swirls outside the window, and he sees the tenderness and love in her eyes.

His wife is a truly wonderful person.

He doesn’t want to share her with anyone else. He wants to be selfish for once.
