[Married First, Love Later + Love Grows Over Time + Pampered Princess + No Cheating + Gentle, Everyday Romance]
Pampered young lady vs. cold, taciturn son of a landlord
Xia Qianqian accidentally transmigrates into a period novel and becomes the wicked supporting character who cheats on the story’s ultimate villain.
She not only has to clean up the mess left by the original owner, but also unlocks a bizarre condition: a mandatory distance limit!
Stay away from the villain = suffocate to death.
Huo Zheng is aloof and taciturn. Even after they marry by a twist of fate, his wife is little more than an afterthought to him.
But at some point, a “little shadow” starts following him around.
“Look at my hand. Am I going to die of an infection?” Xia Qianqian asks, holding it out to the man with a pitiful expression.
“...” Huo Zheng glances at the wound, which is almost healed, and is utterly speechless.
“I have a huge bruise on my calf. It hurts so much!”
The girl suddenly stops in her tracks. Huo Zheng’s heart clenches, and he hurries over, pressing the spot through her trousers.
Xia Qianqian thinks he isn’t examining it carefully enough and immediately hikes up her trouser leg.
At the sight of her smooth, dazzlingly pale skin, Huo Zheng hurriedly looks away. Then he spots a bruise no bigger than a grain of rice, and the corner of his eye twitches.
The whole village is waiting to laugh at them. Xia Qianqian is too delicate to endure hardship or poverty, and the Huo family surely can’t afford to keep her.
Who could have guessed that Huo Zheng, though seemingly aloof and taciturn, would cherish her above all else? Even more irritatingly, their life keeps getting better and better.
Xia Qianqian has to stick close to the man to stay alive.
And the man who initially couldn’t care less about her later wants to keep her tied to him at all times.
Um... whatever happened to the cold, ruthless villain?
