[Clingy Puppy in the Early Stages / Unhinged Wolfdog Later vs. Haughty Heiress]
Flirting with Each Other + Younger Man + Mutual Devotion
Only after being reborn does Shi Yuan learn that the world she lives in is a novel, and that she's the vicious supporting female character who exists to make the heroine shine.
In the original story, she bullies Shen Yan at every turn.
The heroine, Su Xue'er, gives him warmth and saves him.
After tormenting Su Xue'er, Shi Yuan herself meets a tragic end.
Reborn, Shi Yuan breaks free from the fate dictated by the plot and develops a mind of her own.
A voice in her head tells her that if she can get Shen Yan's hatred level to zero, she'll be able to survive in this world for good.
Seeing the 95 above Shen Yan's head, Shi Yuan says, "Brave Shi Yuan fears no challenge."
To stay alive, naturally she has to flirt with him, flirt with him, and flirt with him some more~

Shen Yan realizes that Shi Yuan has changed.
She keeps giving him little tastes of sweetness, making him unable to stop himself from falling for her.
"Shen Yan sounds so harsh. I'll rename you Shen Yanshi."
"Now that you have my surname, you can only be mine."
-
"Be good, A-Yan. Remember, from now on, you can only like me, your big sister."
-
"A-Yan, do you like it when Big Sister kisses you like this?"
He warns himself that it's all a lie and he mustn't fall for her.
But Shen Yan has forgotten that she stole his heart long ago.

When Shen Yan's hatred level reaches zero, Shi Yuan stops flirting with him, only to be thrown off balance by his aggressive pursuit.
She tries to run, but it's too late. Holding Shi Yuan's notebook, Shen Yan corners her against the wall.
"Big Sister, is this how you treat me after getting what you want?"
"No, that's not it. I just..."
"Just what? Didn't you want to discipline me? I'm right here."
