[A sensitive, avoidant, self-loathing heroine × A gentle older man who guides her]
(The heroine is genuinely ill: conflicted, sensitive, and avoidant… She only begins to grow later on. This is not a campus story.)
(A slow-paced, healing slice-of-life story.)
It took her a very, very long time to learn how to be loved.
Blurb
Bai Xiyan dies in a car accident. When she opens her eyes again, she's in another world, reincarnated as a newborn baby.
It isn't until the start of her first year of high school, when a System appears out of nowhere and binds itself to her, that she realizes: this world is a book, and she has transmigrated into it!
And she, the young lady of the Bai family, one of the four great families in City A, is the archetypal wicked supporting female character in the original story: in love with the male lead and always scheming against the heroine!
She drags her feet, reluctant and hesitant, through a few missions, and ends up making herself depressed. Even she doesn't realize that her soul is full of wounds, her body has long been at its limit, and she can barely keep going.
Then the System appears with a new plot point: the supporting female character goes abroad.
Bai Xiyan flees overseas in a panic. She doesn't want to see the original heroine's hurt, resentful eyes or the disappointment and contempt in her parents' faces.
Six years later, now taking her medication on time and attending regular checkups, she is stopped on a foreign street by Lu Yanzhi, the male lead's uncle.
“Come live with me,” Lu Yanzhi invites her. His legs were injured in a car accident, and he is in a wheelchair.
She agrees.
After she graduates, the System appears with a new plot point: the supporting female character returns home and bullies the original heroine.
Bai Xiyan returns home, and decides to give up her feelings for Lu Yanzhi.
After returning, she nervously follows the plot, doing every wicked thing imaginable.
Until the next plot point arrives: pretend to enter a marriage alliance with Lu Yanzhi.
…
Will the timid, sensitive young lady, a coward at heart, find a rose meant only for her?
God says: Of course.
Little Scene
At the end of the story, the wicked supporting female character still drinks the poisoned wine.
That night, the full moon hangs in the sky, almost like a god.
She closes her eyes and prays.
May everyone have a smooth, happy, and peaceful new year.
I, your faithful servant, am willing to pay with my life.
Hehe~~ I'm going to die soon anyway, so it's basically free!!!
I'm such a genius, hahaha (laughs wildly with hands on hips)
Lu Yanzhi received an elite education from childhood and has always hated vulgar speech.
But whenever he manages to annoy a girl, she inevitably fires back with something like “Bullshit” or “Get lost.”
He thinks it's adorable.
But… is it okay to think someone younger is adorable?
After having this thought for the third time, he sincerely begins to wonder.
Kids are all adorable, aren't they? It's perfectly normal to call them cute!
His logic is flawless.
He puts the question aside, speaks again, and annoys the girl once more.
His heart stirs so suddenly, but his love feels inevitable.
