Stealing the Male Lead to Stay Alive, the Timid, Adorable Side Character Gets Kissed Until She Cries

[One-on-one romance, both leads sexually inexperienced, fake affair and seduction, a timid, adorable, socially anxious little crybaby who can’t stop crying, and a powerful man who falls in love at first sight and goes mad for love. A slow-burn, sweet romance.] [Abandoned ending. The numbers were bad, so it was rushed to a conclusion. Volume Two was never written.] Yu Xi is a frail heiress kept under lock and key. To trade for a healthy body, she binds herself to the Male Lead-Stealing System. Her target is her sister’s powerful, feared fiancé, Xiao Wenjing. At their first meeting, the System tells Yu Xi to stumble into his arms, but she walks too steadily and fails to fall. The second time, she follows him, hiding her face behind flowers. There aren’t enough flowers, and he catches her, then kisses her until she cries. The third time, they simply happen to run into each other, but Xiao Wenjing takes her to his office and has his way with her. “Will you marry me?” It’ll be much easier to earn points after we’re married! “No. You’re not suited to be Mrs. Xiao.” At first, Yu Xi thinks Xiao Wenjing doesn’t like her, and only keeps bullying her because he’s crazy. So she puts her feelings aside and diligently carries out her missions. Once she has enough points, Yu Xi runs away and disappears without a trace. The capital’s elite circles are thrown into an uproar. Xiao Wenjing searches all of Beijing for her like a madman. Later, Xiao Wenjing catches Yu Xi and brings her home. He pins her against the bed, his eyes bloodred in a way she’s never seen before. “Yu Xi, you sleep with me and then run? Who taught you that?” “Run away one more time, and I’ll make sure you can never get out of bed again.” Rumors in the capital’s elite circles say Yu Xi is calculating, scheming at every turn. Only Xiao Wenjing knows the truth: she’s just a silly little crybaby, timid and soft, yet somehow, she’s the one who knows best how to bring him to his knees.
