[Period setting + transmigrate into a book + pretty airhead + devoted, exclusive romance]
Lin Zhi wakes up after a night's sleep to find that she's transmigrated into a period novel as the villainess who meets the most tragic end. She's severely socially anxious and cries at the drop of a hat.
From the start, she's facing a penniless home and Shen Yu, a gloomy, ruthless second male lead.
[System warning: Your mission is to torment the second male lead, trample on his dignity, and drive him to rise up and become a leading research scientist! Failure to comply will result in your erasure!]
The heroine stammers, eyes brimming with tears. "I-I can't do it. Pick someone else..."
[System: As long as he succeeds, you'll get rich in no time and go home!]
And so, the most spineless villainess in history is born.
To complete her mission, she grits her teeth, tears welling up as she slaps the future genius. "You broke beggar! Wash my feet!"
She doesn't know that her slap is so soft, it feels more like a coy caress.
Shen Yu takes her trembling hand, gazing at her reddened eyes, his expression darkening as he rages inwardly: "Her hand smells so good. Is she worried about me?"
Later...
She throws him a stack of incomprehensible foreign-language physics books. "Y-You can't eat until you finish them!" (In reality, she's helping him rediscover his talent for research.)
She tosses a meat bun into his arms. "They're my leftovers. I'd rather feed them to a dog than give them to you!" (In reality, she can't bear to see him go hungry.)
The original male lead, Gu Jinhan, who had once been so high and mighty, finally regrets everything and begs her to get back together. Shen Yu kicks him flying.
In the dim, cramped room, Shen Yu pins Lin Zhi against the back of the door, his scorching breath falling against the hollow of her neck. "Little darling, you were so mean to me all day. Isn't it my turn to bully you tonight?"
The heroine is so cute. The male protagonist is really invincible and kind to his sister ❤️
