Stuck with a Bad Ending Script with the Devoted Second Male Lead

[Bright and innocent goddess Xihe × self-sacrificing guardian]

[No System, somewhat like quick transmigration]

Tong Hua keeps reincarnating through twelve worlds. At her side is always a refined and elegant second male lead, as well as the male lead, the child of destiny.

She can only regain her memories after each world ends, and the first thing she does whenever they return is take her own life for love.

Oh heavens, I've fallen for the wrong person again!

The small world collapses when she dies, and a new world begins. Everything starts over: she loses her memories again, and misses the one she loves.

Tong Hua can't take this torment anymore. She runs to the second male lead, clings to him, and cries, “Force me to stay with you. I don't want to forget you anymore, sob!”

Later, she discovers that every time she develops even the slightest feelings for the second male lead, her affection for the male lead goes up too, simply because the male and female leads are a match made in heaven.

Third Life Cycle (in preparation) (lawyer × wealthy heiress)

[Refined, elegant, doting adoptive brother Yun Yu × willful, spoiled conqueror Wenren Hua]

After transmigrating into a book, Wenren Hua becomes a cannon-fodder supporting female character in a melodramatic romance novel. While fighting her divorce case, she learns that the lawyer representing her, the novel's male lead, is her long-lost cousin.

In short, he becomes her adoptive brother, and her plan to stay away from the male lead falls apart completely.

When she first meets him, he is refined and elegant, and the affection meter hanging over his head reads a clear 100.

The System screams in her mind: “A 100% affection rating is impossible. It's a bug!”

Wenren Hua came into the book to conquer the story's biggest antagonist, the second male lead who was supposed to get in the way of the main couple's romance.

After her divorce, Wenren Hua follows the System's instructions: she meets the second male lead, goes on dates with him, and remembers to avoid the male lead.

Wenren Hua wants to survive and get out of here. She works hard to conquer the second male lead, watching his affection rating rise bit by bit.

When her progress is about to reach 99, the male lead suddenly locks her up. He grips her hand, where a red burn scar marks her slender, fair wrist. She got it while boiling medicine for the second male lead.

The feelings the man had suppressed for years surged forth like a tide. His gray eyes were full of anguish and heartbreak. “You know how much I care about you.”

Wenren Hua looks at the 40 affection points above his head and says nothing.

First Life Cycle: (Emperor × Princess)

[Charming, willful brother-obsessed Shi Ying × gentle, jade-like sister-obsessed Shi Shuo]

The most beloved little princess in the imperial palace loses her elder brother and cries herself unconscious at her husband's home. The next morning, she wakes to news that her husband's family has raised an army in rebellion.

Shi Ying wipes away her tears, divorces her husband, and returns to the palace, but she cannot find her brother's body. The Lin family marches on the palace, led by none other than her former husband.

The little princess looks at the cold, murderous man. He is no longer the deeply devoted man she once knew, only a man consumed by the certainty of victory and the urge to kill. With tears in her eyes, she murmurs, “I regret it, Brother. I truly regret it.”

Shi Ying and Shi Shuo grew up together, inseparable since childhood.

People said, “Of course siblings are closer. They're bound by blood.”

But their bond fell apart when one person appeared.

The young master of the Lin family was gentle, modest, and courteous, and people often compared him to Shi Shuo.

At first, Shi Ying would protest indignantly, “My imperial brother is peerless. How could anyone compare to him?”

Later, she was the one who insisted on marrying the young master of the Lin family, no matter what.

In the bedchamber, a man in red lowered his eyes, winding a strand of black hair around his finger. The bright, lively young woman leaned against his knee, yet her words cut to the heart: “Brother, let me marry him. I won't regret it!”

Second Life Cycle: (Spirit Beast × Young Lord)

[Affectionate, gentle spirit beast Zeyi × unruly young lord Xue Buming]

Xue Buming is proud by nature and cares for no one except the guardian beast at her side.

Yet she is the one who personally seals him in the ninth layer of the Water Abyss, where he dies a tragic death.

When Xue Buming is born, the divine beast Huadi is by her side. He willingly becomes her guardian beast, then does not appear again for years.

An astrologer casts a divination for Xue Buming. The prediction reads: “Buming will be buried with E Shou.”

Thus, Xue Buming is betrothed as a child to the Xia family, who have guarded E Shou for generations.

But she refuses to accept it.

At eighteen, she runs away from her wedding and ends up imprisoned while trying to save a friend. Only then does Huadi finally appear as her guardian beast.

Proud Xue Buming never realizes that from the moment Huadi appears, her life begins to count down, and she is the final push that brings it to an end.

As a youth, she vowed she would marry no one but the person she loved. Yet later, she was the one who joyfully married the man she loved.

Late at night, as the young woman sleeps, the spirit beast takes human form and gently strokes her face, pleading as he asks each question, his words laden with love: “Didn't you say I was handsome? Didn't you say you liked me? Then why won't you marry me?”
