Countdown: Saving the Cannon Fodder Heroine

Naive, slow-to-catch-on, indulgent bottom × scheming, perceptive, seductive top [HE, no angst] [Both each other's first and only love] (My writing isn't great at first, but I'll revise it, qaq) Gu Lai transmigrates into an old-school romance novel, but she's an unnamed cannon fodder character. Her mission is to save the lovesick, obsessive second female lead. The good news is that the System promises her five million yuan for completing the mission. The bad news is that failure means game over. Just as she buckles down to get started, the second female lead approaches, looking like an ice-cold goddess. As someone who follows her eyes when it comes to beauty, Gu Lai immediately decides she'd brave fire and water for such a beauty. They say the way to someone's heart is through their stomach. Sure enough, Gu Lai gets conquered instead... Who knew the second female lead could cook so well?! Watching her elegant figure washing the dishes, Gu Lai suddenly realizes she'd make the perfect wife and homemaker. But she can't help feeling that there's something odd about the second female lead. Why is she so sarcastic around the male lead, yet all delicate and helpless in front of Gu Lai? Gu Lai knocks away the second female lead's hand as she reaches to unbutton her clothes, feeling that something isn't quite right. Reader's guide (contains mild spoilers): * The top (Cang Wei) has no feelings for the original novel's male lead. Her actions early on have their own reasons, which will be revealed later. * They're sweet to each other, and each knows at a glance: You're my wife. Updates daily without fail.
