What Is There to Fear, Sweetheart? The Beloved of All Only Wants to Hold Your Hem

[Possessive pursuit + delicate cannon-fodder passerby + yandere love triangle + stealing someone's lover + love at first sight + devoted couple]

Lang Yu was born into the book after transmigrating into it, becoming a cannon-fodder among cannon-fodder. The book says almost nothing about her: "frail and sickly, charming and endearing, pitiful to behold, dead before she reached fifteen." But she wants to return to her original world. She can't die. Then the story starts rewriting her memories.

When the man first meets Lang Yu, he thinks she's a short-lived little girl, hardly worth a second thought. But then the short-lived girl gets drunk in his arms, soft and fragrant against him.

He can't help thinking, how can someone be so pitiful? So beautiful? It turns out short-lived women are the best at tempting men.

If she's destined to die young, then he'll carve out a world for her. "By Heaven's command, may her reign endure forever." He'll bind her fate to the realm and make her lifespan contend with Heaven itself.

Lang Yu always thought she had found the characters she could rely on in the book. But who could have guessed the plot would deceive her? Someone stole the beloved-by-all System, and even the protagonist was replaced.

The man toys with the jade pendant on the young woman's robe, his gaze frivolous. He glances at the dying boy on the floor, wraps an arm around the young woman's waist, and, no longer as gentle as he was yesterday, casually says,

"Yu'er, what do you like about him? I'll take it all off him and give it to you."

"Yu'er, I heard you want to go home... How are you planning to get back? Will you take me with you?!"

"If you can't take me with you, then you aren't going anywhere."

(The early angst is driven by the plot, but things will get better later. Please give it a chance, everyone.)
