[Blurb]

Su Li, the eldest daughter of a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, transmigrates into a novel she read just a few days ago after a car accident. Not only has she become the vicious supporting female character, but she’s also accidentally bound to a suicide-seeking System. Everything is so unfamiliar that she can barely breathe.

Why did she have to end up in this strange place, where she’d be killed? She really had the worst luck.

But the System tells her the only way home is to win over Yan Guishan, the novel’s biggest villain.

Yan Guishan is the most yandere villain imaginable, the most powerful person in the entire book. He kills on a whim, has no interest in women, and is willful and arrogant.

Making her win over someone like that is no different from sending her to her death. They might as well just tell her she can’t go home. What’s the point of all this?

She has no choice but to find a chance to get close to Yan Guishan. In the village where the male and female leads encounter the villain, she arranges to run into him.

Yan Guishan acts as if he can’t stand her getting close, but Su Li discovers that at night he calls her name into the air, over and over, saying, “I love you, I love you… Is it really you?” Who is Yan Guishan talking to? She assumes his yandere personality is acting up.

But at some point, he starts worrying about her. He gets upset when other people approach her, and Su Li’s heart aches when she sees him acting crazed. What is happening to her? Is something wrong with her heart?

Su Li hasn’t forgotten her mission, though. Thinking that a little romantic fuel might help, she deliberately suggests to the main cast that she can take the bride’s place and complete their mission for them. But Yan Guishan refuses.

Who cares what he thinks? She has to act like she doesn’t care if she wants to lure the cat into the trap. Sure enough, on the day of the wedding, Yan Guishan kidnaps her.

Under Su Li’s pressure, Yan Guishan reveals the secret he’s kept buried in his heart for a long time.

Their reunion that day made the figure in his heart grow ever clearer, but he didn’t dare believe it. He could only test her little by little. Eventually, he was certain that the woman before him was the beloved he had searched for all these years.

But life with Yan Guishan isn’t easy for Su Li. He’s deeply insecure and constantly afraid of losing her. He hangs countless little bells on her, and even wants to lock her away forever in a small house where she’ll be with no one but him. Su Li struggles to make him give up the idea.

Su Li tells Yan Guishan about the System and her mission. He doesn’t want her to leave, but he can’t bear to see her suffer. At last, she completes the mission. She tells him not to do anything foolish, promises she’ll come back, and makes him swear to wait for her.

But when she finds a way back to the world of the novel, she discovers Yan Guishan sleeping beside her corpse, as if she were still alive. The moment she reaches out to touch his face, his eyes can no longer leave her.

But Su Li also realizes his yandere behavior is becoming more and more out of hand. She’ll have to give him a proper scolding and make sure he knows who’s in charge.
