[Clearheaded, secretly devoted male lead | Disguise-savvy female lead | Both each other’s first | Happy ending]
After transmigrating into a book for a year, Yu Xianchuan used her modern knowledge of psychology to successfully turn the aloof, prickly second male lead into an adorable little sweetheart who obediently called her “Big Sis.”
Watching his affection score steadily rise, Yu Xianchuan patted the second male lead on the head. “You’re a quick learner.” Then she walked away, thoroughly pleased with herself.
But just as she reached the corridor, she spotted the male lead, Zhi Yi, in the distance. His usually gentle, jade-like face had taken on a rare chill, and he was staring straight at her.
Yu Xianchuan felt her heart pounding violently, as if it were about to leap into her throat.
Could he have figured out that she wasn’t his sister?
Even after being in this book for so long, she still couldn’t figure out what that calculating male lead was thinking…
“Xiaochuan, the weather’s bitterly cold these days.”
As she drifted off in thought, Zhi Yi had already stepped in front of her. He leaned down and fiddled with her hairpin.
Bitterly cold? It snowed every day in this ridiculous book, so yes, it was pretty cold.
She was just about to make a few casual remarks when Zhi Yi took her cold hand in his.
“You’re sensitive to the cold. Tomorrow… I’ll take you to a hot spring.”
Sensitive to the cold, right, right. That was part of her character setting.
A hot spring… Wait, what? Going to a hot spring with the male lead???
That can’t be right!
Night fell. The bed curtains were half drawn, and the person on the bed breathed evenly, a few strands of dark hair resting against her smooth cheek.
Zhi Yi stood by the bed, his gaze lingering on the sleeping woman.
When he discovered that this “younger sister” had come from another world, for a time he wanted to see through her borrowed appearance and find out what she was hiding underneath.
So he leaned over and tucked her hair behind her ear.
The moment his fingertips touched her skin, the woman stirred in her sleep and furrowed her brow. Then, without warning, a tear slipped down her cheek.
Zhi Yi instinctively wiped it away with his thumb… It tasted bitter.
As always, he had no idea what to do with her.
[Reading Guide]
*At first, the leads are mistaken for siblings because of a mystery surrounding their backgrounds, but they are not related by blood or family ties in any way.
*World rule: The heroine of every book is the chosen one. No one can dislodge her from that position, not even someone who has transmigrated from a higher-dimensional world.
*Transmigration follows the rule of “relative stillness”: while someone is inside the book, reality remains still; while someone is in reality, that person in the book remains frozen at a certain moment.
