(Side-character awakening + top-tier wealthy family + devoted 1v1 romance + sweet pampering + everyone awakens + a touch of ensemble cast + plot-driven)
(Content warning: Early on, the characters have yet to break free of their original characterizations, so they may feel a little flat.)
Gu Qingli discovered that she was a cannon-fodder character in a web novel about a stand-in romance and a groveling chase after a crematorium ending. Her world collapsed.
The good news: the cannon fodder had awakened.
The bad news: she was a stand-in for the stand-in, and she had awakened right in front of the deranged original male lead.
The most infuriating part was that she had been bound to a Character Awakening System. What was that ridiculous progress bar supposed to mean?
In short, because of that stand-in face, she was going to die.
So, stay away from the male lead and stay alive.
But then the villain appeared out of nowhere, sobbing that he loved her, throwing a tantrum and swearing that if anything happened to her, everyone would be buried with her.
Unless she was mistaken, they barely knew each other, right?
What do you mean, you're madly in love? Get lost!
Wait a minute…
100% awakening progress!
A kindred spirit, without a doubt.
But later, she was hurt.
“Ding! Alert, alert! Jiang Yu's awakening progress is abnormal!”
“Attention! Jiang Yu, the villainous protagonist, has awakened!”
He knelt before her and begged, kissing her feet.
“This time, don't die. They're not worth saving.”
“Your world can have no one but me.”
