After the Frail Beauty Marries the Villain in Her Stead

Shi Yuan is a frail beauty, with skin like ice and jade and peerless looks. She has suffered from heart palpitations since childhood and has always relied on medicine to stay alive, never knowing if she will see another day.

On the day her younger half-sister ran away from her wedding, Shi Yuan became bound to a System and learned that she was actually inside a book. The man her sister had fled from was the story's great villain, and one day he would return to avenge the humiliation of her flight.

Knowing she didn't have long to live anyway, Shi Yuan stepped forward and married the villain in her sister's place.

Life at the villain's home turned out to be rather pleasant. Her real husband disappeared after the wedding, and Shi Yuan found an injured little black cat. With nothing else to do, she spent her days playing with it and cooking, enjoying herself immensely.

The only problem was that the day she was supposed to die was getting closer, yet Shi Yuan's health was improving more and more.

Shi Yuan couldn't figure it out, until one night she woke with a start. The little black cat that had been lying beside her pillow was gone, replaced by a handsome man in disheveled clothes.

His black hair spilled over Shi Yuan's arm, white as jade, a striking contrast of black and white that was both delicate and beautiful.

The man rose. In his dark eyes, a turbulent, inscrutable longing stirred. "Now that Yuan Yuan is feeling better, it's time we did something else... interesting."

Shi Yuan: !!

Wasn't this man the villainous husband she'd only seen once, on their wedding night?
