[Period setting + transmigrate into a book + fake hypnosis + rough man takes her as his bride + supporting villainess fights back + no self-sacrificing heroine]
Su Manyu opens her eyes and discovers that she's the wicked supporting character who causes trouble at every turn in a period novel.
Her ending is to be sent to the Great Northern Wilderness by the brigade leader himself, where she freezes to death in a blizzard.
Worse still, her ex-boyfriend has been reborn and is about to expose her imposture in front of everyone.
Su Manyu: Staying alive comes first. I'll break off the engagement and run!
But before she can get away, the cold, abstinent brigade leader corners her in the hills behind the village.
A pocket watch. A hypnotic command.
“From today on, I'm your man.”
Su Manyu, inwardly: ...Fine. You can't wake someone who's pretending to sleep, so I'll keep up the act.
And so she plays along.
He says go east, and she doesn't go west.
He says drink the soup, and she obediently opens her mouth.
But whenever he leans closer, her heart seems to beat faster, more and more beyond her control.
