The Villain and My Ex-Husband Read My Mind, and Their Personas Fell Apart

[Mind-reading + sweet and gentle on the surface heroine x dark, unhinged villain + all male leads are pure + love-triangle showdown]

The night Shen Yuzhi awakened to the truth, she realized she had been cast in a revenge novel as the character with the most gruesome fate.

A wicked supporting woman, with a shelf life of six months.

First, she kicked her down-and-out ex-husband, Su Hanmu, to the curb, only for him to be reunited with his birth family.

Then she married the gloomy, unhinged Fu Chenyan. The script said he would go bankrupt six months later, and she would be injected with drugs and sent to a psychiatric hospital to “enjoy her golden years.”

At twenty-four? Enjoy what, exactly?

On the day they registered their marriage, she rushed to the rooftop to grab him. Her heel slipped, and she shoved Fu Chenyan right off the fourth floor.

He opened his eyes in his hospital bed, his smile edged with bloodshot eyes and ice. “I’m not dead. Are you disappointed?”

Shen Yuzhi burst into tears on cue, while her inner monologue flooded like a waterfall. [Fourth floor, man! Is your villain aura made of titanium alloy?]

Not only did Fu Chenyan avoid bankruptcy, he turned the tables at every step.

When tormenting his enemies, he was endlessly patient, carefully savoring even the tremors of his prey as they drew their last breath.

But at night, when he held Shen Yuzhi close, his burning breath branded her ear as he rasped, “If I haven’t satisfied you, I’ll make it up to you twice more.”

Fu Chenyan always measured the pulse at her wrist with his fingertip in the dead of night, smiling like a poisonous datura beneath the moonlight. “I won’t go bankrupt, and you won’t get away from me.”

Shen Yuzhi finally understood. She hadn’t been handed a quick death, but a permanent license to be kept as a pet.

Even her ex-husband, Su Hanmu, chased her to the door with red-rimmed eyes. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he said, “I’ll keep being your dog. Just leave him right now.”

Leave… did she dare?
