A Dog's Life? The Wicked Stand-In Prolongs Her Life by Appeasing the Hero and Heroine

[Scheming Liar Heroine x Arrogant, Polite Scoundrel] [Mutually Devoted] [Sweet Romance] [Bickering Couple] [Adversarial Couple]

Ye Zhen transmigrates into a book as the evil substitute heroine, with a face identical to the female lead's. She tricks the male lead into registering their marriage.

In the original story, when the female lead returns, Ye Zhen clings to the male lead and frames the female lead, eventually ending up in prison and dying miserably.

To save her own skin and conceal the secret that she stole blood from the leads, Ye Zhen starts playing both sides.

In public, she swears eternal love to the male lead. Then she turns around and acts pitifully before the female lead, offering to step aside and pretending to defend her place, while secretly driving a wedge between the couple.

Just as she's handling both sides with ease, she keeps getting exposed in public.

Once, while she was cuddling and kissing the male lead, the female lead caught them in the act.

Ye Zhen improvised the perfect excuse: "I was only helping you put on an act!"

Watching the woman smooth things over in just a few words, Zhou Yanxu raised an eyebrow and sneered:

"You little liar, you'd better keep deceiving me for the rest of my life."

But later, he gradually realized something was wrong. Why was he still a substitute?

The rules for surviving with your life intact: keep the male lead happy, keep the female lead on your side, and cling to life on the edge of a blade.
